Getting your money's worth in our nation's capitol. The wife, daughter, and I got back Tuesday night from a five day trip to Washington, DC. While I've been known to spend time on the Internet Machine being a nuisance on a variety of...

KC. Let's hope our brisket turns out half as good as Arthur Bryant's. It's the smoked meat we are least proficient producing. In the mid 80's, after reading Calvin Trillin's book, me and a buddy once drove all night after the bars...

It turns out the corn is 10 for two dollars, so the great deal was somewhat exaggerated. We tried a few ears yesterday and it's so inferior to what we get here late summer that it was pretty disappointing. I'm going on vacation...

I will be having a big BBQ at my house on 7/5. We'll be serving 60+-adults and 30+- kids. We'll be smoking shoulders, ribs, brisket, and chicken, a couple hundred pounds worth. It's going to be like the feast in "Beowulf", sans...

Schmaltz fries? I'd give 'em a try. I know you watch what you eat, but go ahead and make some chopped liver. You know you want too. :D Another Chicago favorite of ours is Cafe Iberico. It's a tapas place at 737 N. LaSalle. The regular...
