  1. My three favs were naturals: Beverly Lynne, Susan Featherly, and Brandin Rackley.
  2. It was another example of the collective stupidity of corporate America. I’ve seen so much of it in my life. The same brain disease enabled the Edsel, killed Aunt Jemima, and fast tracked Ishtar. if they used Home Box Office, which was a perfect brand for their service when it launched, I wonder how many know what a box office is these days.
  3. Why my phone converted Cardellini to Bartalini I don’t know. Talia Shire is excellent as the mousey ex nun nonna (I’ve had a thing for her since she was Connie Corleone) and Brenda Vaccaro is funny as well. (She was pretty hot back when Michael Douglas was banging her.) they made some story license for the movie. The story of overcoming grief thru family and food was focused on his mother but in real life he lost his nonna, his grandfather, his mother, and his sister in the 18 months prior to buying the place. And Linda cardellini was a writer creation.
  4. https://englishbreakfastsociety.com/back-bacon.html actually they use a cut that is part belly, part loin. They cure it but I don’t think they smoke it. It’s not very good to me, like boiled Canadian and American bacon. I prefer bangers
  5. My mother did the same with leftover meat. She had a grinder for her mixer and would make the pot roast beef salad, or pork roast salad, and if there was a leftover steak or two she’d grind them up for a ground steak salad which was the tits. Dad was an excellent grill man on the Weber and generous. If they had folks over he’d cook a couple extra steaks in case others came. Thank you for reminding me of this dish; I got to make it too now.
  6. You can live in one of those long canal boats. When crossing streets look right left right or you might get mushed. They drive on the wrong side of the street often there. the national dishes are chicken tikka masala, fish and chips, limp bacon, and canned beans for breakfast. Black pudding is not chocolate.
  7. A Italian-American 3rd gen buddy of mine in New Jersey has eaten at Enoteca Marie a couple of times. He took clients there who wanted to have an Italian family experience. Of course, he says the food is very good but like everyone else that grew up on it, every family has their own spin on everything, so he prefers his family’s recipes. He still has his mother and his wife is from the neighborhood, and they still do a big family Sunday dinner once a month with his kids, and his cousins and aunts. They did it every Sunday until his dad died. when I retire we’ll be moving near the kids, and I hope to do a big family dinner every couple weeks. I have lots of colleagues in NY/NJ and most are Italians or Orthodox Jews. They keep their families together with big Sunday or shabbos dinners; food is important. I don’t like my granddaughters growing up without traditional foodways or the big family feasts. Their diet consists of chicken nuggets, pizza, and sugar.
  8. Her stirring the cannolis was as sexy a scene as I’ve seen in ten years. Bellissimo!
  9. Nonnas. A cute little movie about an Italian American guy who opens a restaurant on Staten Island with Italian nonnas as chefs. It’s got a nice cast like Lorraine Branco and Linda Bartalini, but it’s really a love story to Italian American families and their food.
  10. My old man sometimes ate awful things like a sardine sandwich. I just remembered he would get a hankering for a ā€œsaladā€ sandwich. Usually tuna fish but sometimes ham or chicken. He’d sometimes make a baloney salad sandwich of chopped baloney, mayo, pickle relish, onion. Wasn’t my favorite but wasn’t awful.
  11. That 8th ave location is cursed. It ran Derek Allen and his smokin hot wife out of the industry. I worry about any change or expansion of a successful bbq joint, as they are rarely operated by experienced restaurateurs. Adding evening hours, days of operation new locations, debt, all can be deadly to these places. Heim and his wife burned out and sold out, Valentina’s flamed out, Derek Allen quit, the list is endless.
  12. So is real sugar Dr Pepper as hard to find elsewhere as it is in DFW? I’m talking about the cans.
  13. Went to Hurtado OG in Arlington again today with my boss from San Diego. Everything on point today; this location remains superior to the other stores Brandon has opened. today the star of the show were the bacon burnt ends and the ribs. The Texas Twinkies are top shelf. Brisket was good, and the jap cheddar sausage was as well. Birria taco was killer, one of the best I’ve had. Green beans with chorizo was ok but he should commit to cooking the hell out of them southern style and use a different seasoning meat and more onion. The elotes are so rich; they were fine but I dont like heavy sides with bbq.
  14. When you have the ability to eliminate a challenge beast you have to make the move. They should have capped Joe and wussed out. They deserve their fate. David must be having a miserable time at the resort. What a douche.
  15. I roasted a bunch of tomatoes a few days ago. Filled a 9x13 pan with a variety but mostly Campari’s and grape, with a chopped head of garlic a couple of jalapeƱos, basil, olive oil. Had some leftover so heated up, a couple of eggs nestled in, and covered with a lid. Yolks were still runny, and wife loved it. A play on shakshuka.
  16. All the top chef seasons and the spinoffs like masters and duels is on peacock.
  17. Just get a location list for Dickey’s
  18. Mitch is a wuss. He won’t make a play. He’ll be tossed to the side of the road.
  19. I’ve had this made with Coke, Dr Pepper, Sprite, Fanta oranges, and Tahitian treat. Separately not suicided. An augment loved all dishes made with cokes. (Yes goddam it. Not soda or pop). Coke glaze on ham. Carrots braised in Coke. Barbecue beans with root beer or Dr Pepper. Coke cake. Sprite cake. My wife makes a chicken dish with it fried then smothered with onions and jalapeƱos in a sauce of Coke and ketchup. it’s very good.
  20. Texas didn’t invent congealed salads but they were adopted here more than anywhere else. They go back to the advent of ā€œice boxesā€ at home. The weird ones came from women’s magazines in the 50’s and 60’s.
  21. Back to Texas awfulness, I’ll revisit the congealed salads my grandmother and an aunt always brought gor holiday dinners. lime jello, mayo, pineapple, marshmallows, pimentos. Blechhh. lemon jello, tuna fish, pecans, cottage cheese. Double blecchh
  22. It’s all a factor. Dak was groomed by career QB3’s who lived by the ā€œdon’t fuck it upā€ rule. He did best with Kitna as his coach who taught him to trust his WRs to get the ball. With Moore he was throttled back again. Combine that with simplistic routes and WRs who aren’t great at separation, it’s a mess. my issue with Dak is that somewhere in his brain he has a big game problem. MVP-like reg seasons combined with terrible collapses in January. He isn’t the guy that can will a team to win. Few can but he hasn’t sniffed a champ game yet.
  23. Hopefully the new staff does away with one of the worst problems the team has had since Garrett: shitty wr coaches with simplistic high school route trees. It’s part of the QB3 philosophy of JG, Linehan, Moore. Add in the tolerance of lazy route running and Daks usual reluctance to use his receivers catch radius, the result is lesser WRs deliver lesser results.
  24. For all the shit the joneses get, no one out browns the Browns. https://steelersdepot.com/2025/04/browns-gm-didnt-know-they-had-to-make-kenny-picketts-5th-year-option-decision-which-they-will-decline/
  25. As a kid I’d watch my grandmother or mom or aunts shelling or restringing bushels of green beans, black eyes, cream peas, etc to end up with enough for a single meal. my grandmother started making green beans with bags of frozen cut ones. Basically make a broth from a ton of bacon, bacon grease, a ton of onions, red pepper, garlic and salt, then add 3 or 4 pounds of thawed frozen green beans. Add some brown sugar and a couple of chipotles and cook them to death. Awesomeness. We never got a fresh green bean again.
