Ain’t No Free Lunches

Ain’t No Free Lunches

I wondered if this blog would ever turn political.  I think it’s about to, just for a minute. On November 6, 2012 the Electoral College, a poor representation of the citizens of the United States of America, re-elected who has got to be America’s worst President ever.  But I will say this; Our country, once […]

I Am The Slime

I Am The Slime

We do lots of fun stuff for holidays at Arkansas State, and though Halloween is just barely more of a holiday than Valentine’s Day, we still celebrate.  We doll the place up with ghostsand goblins and such, we have a costume contest, and we offer a table covered with everyone’s favorite candy–usually about a 1/4 ton of the stuff! It’s always […]

Day Of The Locusts

Day Of The Locusts

Are you a fan of the zombie cult movies?  Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead?  What about the spoofs?  Return of the Living Dead, Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland?  I love those movies.  There’s some show on television about zombies that I’ve never seen because I reject cable […]

A Thousand Words Paint A Picture

A Thousand Words Paint A Picture

Or “A Nod Is As Good As A Wink…To A Blind Horse” This may be my last blog entry. I like writing, but let’s face it–I don’t write that often, and I don’t really say much.  About six people read this stuff, and frankly there are a lot of better food blogs out there.  I […]

Hope Springs Eternal

Hope Springs Eternal

For the last year I have really been trying to embrace this “molecular gastronomy”. It’s not taking. Its greatest contributor Ferran Adria prefers the moniker “modern cuisine”, and I concur. I was taken aback last spring at the Catersouce Convention in Las Vegas by young European chefs demonstrating a nitrogen-frozen mojito and quick frozen yogurt […]

Smoke ‘Em If You’ve Got ‘Em

Smoke ‘Em If You’ve Got ‘Em

You know that haunting, delicious, ethereal scent that is produced by seasoned meat simmering slowly over a hardwood fire? Pork, ribs, chicken, and beef brisket…oh how wonderful! Your nose perks up, your mouth waters, your stomach growls. Even on a summer evening when you smell it in your neighborhood it frankly just turns you on–makes […]

The Search Is Over, Part Two (AKA – Molto WTF?)

The Search Is Over, Part Two (AKA – Molto WTF?)

I remember many years ago listening to a radio show or something like that where the speaker was talking about restaurant expectations. He was discussing something I had experienced, and he gave me the answer I had been looking for to a problem about which I was mystified. He said, for instance, that people go […]

The Search Is Over, Part One

The Search Is Over, Part One

We sat in a room with purple velvet couches, fresh orchids, and soft piano in the background. Ours was the only party seated in this particular room. The wall was covered in a thick carpet of live ivy and below was a flower bed filled with tiny pink and white azaleas. The table was adorned […]

The Game Is Afoot

The Game Is Afoot

My boss, his wife and I set out this morning for a sure-to-be awe inspiring 4 day trip to Las Vegas. Yeah I know…what happens in Vegas… Well I’ll tell you that 9 minutes after I got into my room on the 30th Floor of the Cosmopolitan I locked myself out on the balcony. 30 stories […]

The Color Of Things

The Color Of Things

A few of you have mentioned that I haven’t written in a while, and you’re right…I haven’t. Hasn’t been a whole lot to write about, and I frankly haven’t felt like it. Some writer huh? So here we are, 4 weeks in to the 2010 Fall Semester and life is good. I’ll bring you up […]
