When the boss is away the cows will play. At least that’s the way I heard it. Who’s the boss, exactly? My mother-in-law. She’s on a train trip to Cleveland (I don’t know why they couldn’t pick a more exotic locale), and she made the mistake of leaving us put my wife in charge [...]
Bacon has seen an explosion of interest in the past few years. Naturallyl, it never went completely out of favor. After all, anything that’s used to make filet mignon taste better can’t disappear! Recently, though, there’s even been shome spot shortages of the tasty strips of heavenly flavor. Well, that’s all behind us now. We’ve [...]
What’s better than deep-fried Twinkies? Deep-fried butter. What’s better than fried butter? Deep-fried beer. And what’s better than fried beer? Deep-fried Guinness, of course!

Okay, it’s not Cajun or Creole; but it’s definitely Southern, and you need to know about it … You see, there’s a Significant Threat to a great Southern tradition. It all begins with turpentine. You know, the liquid distilled from pine tree gum in the deep South? Well, it was an industrially important solvent for [...]
Coming soon to Lafayette, Louisiana, is one of the major festivals in the whole culinary world: The Boudin Cook-Off. When, exactly, you ask? Well, don’t go to their website for that answer; it’s not there. Google will tell you it’s on the 17th, at Parc Sans Souci. It’s only a one-day event, but there will [...] |
