Yep, another non-Twitter user here.  My votes: Chili con Carne; Grilled Onion; Shredded Lettuce; BBQ Sauce; Pickles; Tomato; American Cheese; Cheddar Cheese; Bacon; Avocado; Fried Egg; Pimento Cheese; Stone Ground Mustard; Pickled Onions; Kimchi; Mayonnaise;

My favorite thing about burgers is also my favorite thing about pizza. The endless variety of ways that they can be made that are all delicious. Two thin beef patties, heavily charred, with plenty of American and extra pickles? Yes. A Jucy Lucy with American lava inside and some fried onion? Yes. One thick patty,…

I live in West Saint Paul.  We have a saying here:  What’s that smell?  South Saint Paul.

Oh, and speaking of High Life - that, or a Grain Belt go great with a plate of sushi.

I’m definitely a victim of EPA/IPA oversaturation.  Summit EPA was my gateway into beer beyond American macro-fizz, and Surly Bender and Furious were the mind-blowers that drove me crazy for interesting beer.  When I want to take it down a notch, though, I find Summit Saga has the punch I want, while not being too…

I’ll third the Spotted Cow recommendation.  We always bring a couple of six-packs home when we visit my sister-in-law in Madison.  Surly was nice enough to get distribution into WI, when is New Glarus going to reciprocate?

Lifelong Minnesotan here, who also grew up in a hunting family. I have never heard of nor seen the ground meat version of “bacon” you describe here. That said, I would love to try it if I ever see some. Especially right now, when we are in prime BLT season, where it could really shine.

Did they mention what brand of PB indicates you are likely to be a Libertarian?

If that were paneer instead of chicken, and not a joke product, I would totally give it a try.  Hm.  Toaster Strudel has done savory products in the past.  If they made a palak paneer toaster strudel, I’d happily nosh some of those.

I only need to share one.

See, this is exactly where a food writer is supposed to take one for the team. You don’t want you or your family eating the dogs loaded with the nitrates and nitrites, so you make a point of having a taste test that is half naughty dogs and half natural dogs, and report to us how the less unhealthy ones stack up.…

Congratulations on getting this story into my news feed before any of my Libertarian sources. I am both surprised and impressed.

My favorite use for cottage cheese is in place of the mozz in a caprese. Slice of good tomato, dollop of cottage cheese, salt and pepper, chiffonade of fresh basil (lots), drizzle on the balsamic and olive oil, and you’re set.

• What condiment is totally worth making yourself? Tartar sauce. My wife only wants me to make fish for dinner if I am also making tartar sauce.

The V90 was by far the easiest answer, but in defense of Mr Tracy, I have personally seen those Jeeps laugh at one of the top 10 winter storms in Minnesota history, so Pittsburgh will be a cake walk. If she wants those boys growing up into the kind of people who help others out of the ditch, a Grand Cherokee is a…

Does it matter if it was a dealership instead of a person? Back in our high school days, my biggest gearhead friend used to troll used car dealerships as a pastime. One day back in the 90's he came across a Geo Metro that clearly should have been priced at $1500. Someone forgot to put the leading 1 on the price tag.…

That’s funny, but I don’t think your math works out right.

Besides the one that David wrote about, two other commenters have posted pics of Cherokees with Comanche back ends. This implies that somewhere out there there have to be a couple of Comanches with Cherokee back ends, right?

Yep, I also do this. I know where it is OK to shift up to 4th and where not to do so for my own self-preservation.

I thought they were designed to wake sleeping children in strollers.
