I just got back from Chicago, sampling all the dogs that city had to offer, so even though I visited the King in May, this one is going to be an easy review for me. I have some notes to fall back on in the blackberry as well, so I’ll be able to conjure [...]
It only takes one thing to make me hate a restaurant. If you’re a restaurant owner, and you do this, I can’t respect you, no matter what else you do. In fact, when you set your shop up like this, it shows that you don’t respect me as a customer. You might [...]
This morning, I went and asked all the pitmasters to give me their best stories. Here are the best of those:
Sorry about the sound quality – smokers and generators are loud.
I applied to Live Off Groupons for a year and didn’t get picked. My application was good, but my video sucked, and I didn’t make it to the final round (Lina told me that I was just outside the top 10). I cut my video, watched it, and wasn’t happy with how I looked. [...]

Shit. It’s Fatty ‘Cue day and Immaculate Infatuation just dropped a review.
I’m going to channel the Captain Planet-like forces of the two other food bloggers that I dined with (Andy Freedman from Wined and Dined and Lawrence Weibman from NYC Food Guy) and write a super-review (planet-style!). I always thought Wheeler [...]
