So I finally broke down and wrote a Citypaper piece about kimchi. It’s tantamount to, I dunno, someone from Iowa writing about corn. Actually that’s a terrible analogy, point is it just seems a bit cliche, but I know that’s irrational. In any case, in my defense it was under duress and I believe [...]

That’s right, I made me some PIT BISON! I think this may be a first, since searching “pit bison” returns nothing having to do with food, except for links pointing to yours truly…. It’s the largest mammal native to the US - the original American red meat. And it was grown right here in [...]

The first time I’d heard (or read, rather) of beef on weck was many years ago in Gourmet magazine. I think it was the Road Food column, and I seem to recall the beef being described as pink and satiny, like rose petals. I remember thinking, wow people who are as into food as I [...]

The audio file for my Tuesday June 24 appearance on the Dan Rodricks radio show is available - dl here, or listen to it below. A couple of things occurred to me after listening to the whole thing - I talk way too fast (next time no coffee beforehand), I have a lot less bass [...]

Today’s digging/redditing session led me to this video of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain (henceforth referred to as pRpnSJMcC) on Jimmy Kimmel attempting to talk smack about his barbecue skills:
Like here if player is broken
Kimmel’s cliche, waka-waka zinger aside, I think it’s clear pRpnSJMcC hasn’t barbecued a rib in his life. Actually, that’s [...]

To borrow the old school eloquence of Martin Payne, that is. Dan Rodricks graciously invited me back on his radio show on 88.1 WYPR today to talk BBQ. Last time was a blast, when we somehow spent a whole hour talking about crab cakes (dl here, or listen to it below). And yet [...]
