Kansas City has yielded two new favorite food items: Burnt ends: Apparently a localized barbecue delicacy, burnt ends are the most delicious form of barbecue I’ve eaten yet. They’re the ends of the brisket that collect all the smoke, fat and salt into chopped, charred cubes of edible beauty, mixed with a little barbecue sauce […]
My new favorite cooking site is Manjula’s Kitchen, which from a digital professional’s point of view is ideally organized and contains all the content you could want for Indian cooking info. But I like it even better for the videos, which are clearly just Manjula’s husband taping her in her kitchen and forgetting to edit […]
As the web’s foremost self-appointed authority on chicken nuggets (healthy or otherwise), I had to repost this picture from Early Onset of Night (h/t
It’s about time Americans started eating at home more and dining out less. This video from my old Slate V buds is a great start. (Is it weird that the footlong burger looks pretty awesome to me? “You can really taste the length.”)

As a kid, the only person I knew who ate Grape Nuts was my grandpa. Looking up at the white box on the top of his fridge, I always wondered what the hell a Grape Nut was, and to this day I still don’t really know. But I will say that they make an excellent […]
Though I was busy finishing up Winter A for the past week, it doesn’t mean I haven’t kept up with the world. (Sage RSS sidebar = a favorite of mine.) So here’s a burst of opinion: My newest senator Roland Burris grows more as an embarrassment each day, but what’s even more embarrassing is the […]
I do miss the cheese fries and cherry milkshakes. And G and I sat at that same table the last time we ate at Ben’s. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7822643.stm?lss It seems this is a month old, but it’s all good.
