The Month of Eating Dangerously continues! Even though cold weather has hit us in central Texas, we’re still using our grills. (We enjoy tennis year-round too; just don’t let any Yankees in on our secret.) Here’s a grilled chicken dish that has just enough punch to make the MOED list:

Clams are seafood, right? They don’t often show up in the top five seafood items that a person might list, if asked what constitutes “seafood.” Diners who enjoy clams, though, are beyond passionate about them, it seems.

October is Cajun & Creole Cuisine Month (CCC, or C-cubed to those in the know, like the Underground’s educated audience). Why is that?
