Sorry I have been away for a while, but I have been planning a little trip to Portland, and I had to take care of all my day time work to clear the decks for the trip. My apologies. To make up for it, here is a double issue. I was off to Portland to… [Read more…]

There is this cool Japanese pub in our neighborhood. It specializes in Japanese inspired fusion food and strong cocktails. We had no idea this place was in our neighborhood until a couple of months back. We were wandering down the street and we saw this place, Chizakaya, that claimed to be a Japanese Pub. My… [Read more…]

I was at a conference today and they didn’t provide any food for free. All they had were these lousy sandwiches and giant cookies that were heavily wrapped in plastic. The sandwich was 4 bucks and the cookie was 2 bucks. What a joke. I had to wander off to find a decent meal. I… [Read more…]

Like most people, the weekend is something I look forward to all week. I look forward to it for a lot of reasons, but mostly so I can be fat and lazy. I like to sleep in, eat whatever I want, drink too much, and more or less be a total sack of crap. There… [Read more…]

Once, I got a Payday candy bar and when I opened it, I found a nickel inside. At the time, it was the greatest culinary event in my life. Looking back, I wonder if they actually meant to include that nickel, or I was eating tampered food. To this day, I am not sure if… [Read more…]

Can you have too much buffalo sauce? I wonder. I love buffalo sauce. I buffalo something at least once a week. For those of you who have not been indoctrinated into the world of buffalo sauce, it all started when the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York invented this sauce and put them over wings.… [Read more…]

So, this whole Katy needing special food attention has put me on high alert for what she is eating. Generally, I am of the thought; if it looks like food, eat it. But now, my whole world is screwed up. I need to look at labels, think twice before I cook, and question every restaurant’s… [Read more…]
