Everything I needed to learn in life I learned from Pop songs

The Bloodhound Gang was right, getting your Waffle House hash browns smothered1 and covered2 is the way to go. (See The Bad Touch.)
In any case, being in Nashville this weekend has allowed me to go to a Waffle House sober for the first time. Since I am a big fan of greasy food, [...]

The Gyro Melt

After weeks of telling me that I should go, I finally gave into Liz’s demands and tried out the gyro melt at CND Gyros at 205 E. Grand Ave. Basically, it was a patty melt (which is NOTHING like a cheeseburger, Ian!) with gyro meat. It may be one of the best things [...]

Beer Battered Deep Fried Bacon Double Quarter Pounder
Really, the name of the link says it all.  I stand in awe, also, in hunger.

You love the Red Sox, but have they ever loved you back?

The association’s headquarters is in Chicago, and the Goat has been sitting in the belly of its building at 430 N. Michigan since [...]

I Smell *BACON*!

In the Chicago Tribune’s food section today was a recipie for bacon-fried corn. It actually sounds really good, but what doesn’t when made with bacon. I reprint it here for two reasons 1) so I don’t lose it and 2) so MARK NOTARUS, who has eaten bacon-wrapped bacon, can see it.

Taste of Chicago

On Wednesday, Dave and I ran over to the Taste of Chicago for lunch. (I link to the Sun-Times site because its much much better than the city’s web page for the Taste. So goofy.) We’ve been doing it every year we’ve been working nearby, so we didn’t want to break a [...]
