And it ... http://foodnerd.org/2008/07/05/pit-bison-is-there-any-better-way-to-celebrate-july-4th/ 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 ... http://foodnerd.org/2008/07/02/a-beef-sandwich-from-a-faraway-land-beef-on-weck-from-schwabls-buffalo-ny/ Well, my nightmare scenario has come to fruition. I was wrong. On top of that, I was wrong about food. Worse still, I was wrong about meat. And to top it all off, I was proved wrong by a guy with frosted tips and pinky rings. Chaps Pit Beef was ... http://foodnerd.org/2008/06/30/curse-you-guy-fieri-or-sorry-chaps/ Lately I've been lamenting the seeming proliferation of fake pit beef, which I believe is actually roast beef that's been charred before serving. So I finally got around to trying pit beef at home to see just how hard it is. Conclusion: easier than pie, since we all know pie ... http://foodnerd.org/2008/06/30/homemade-pit-beef-recipe-or-pit-beef-aint-barbecue-wake-up-sheeple/ This week my article about deviled eggs ran in Citypaper!

On our way to Big Bad Wolf BBQ on Harford Rd., I caught Mc-N-Mc's {pronounced "mick-n-mick") sign out of the corner of my eye. Hopes of stumbling upon the mythical unheralded, really real ... http://foodnerd.org/2008/06/27/mc-n-mc-pit-the-butter-face-of-pit-beef-joints-sorry/ The Canopy 443-288-1400 9319 Baltimore National Pike, Ellicott City, MD 21042 So this is how dedicated I am to my pit beef census.
