Home Bar Tips.

Long live deep dish pizza. It is just one in a long line of styles that makes pizza an enduring dish. If people want to claim it’s not pizza, then they will need to toss out New York, steel dish, pan pizza, and pretty much anything that is not leftover flatbread with cheese, dried fish and olive oil.

As a resident of the great state of Wisconsin, I offer up the Fried Cheese Curd in opposition to your T-Ravs for the greatest appetizer championship.  A fair fight can only be made by first determining the masters in our respective snack foods then judging those against each other.  Hey @Kevin Pang, I think I have…

I am not in favor of this version of the bagel slice, but I don’t see it as cause to sound the call of Culinary Crusade against Saint Louis. Personally I like the traditional cut because when that is toasted to a nice medium brown you have an interior that is hot and chewy. A nice weight to my intake of carbs and…

Thank you for reminding me of one of the reasons why I have zero wish to live on the coast.

If you are getting cheese curds from Culvers that you describe as similar to oven curds, I am forced to conclude that the Culvers you are ordering from has a poorly maintained fryer. Are they the best curds you can get? No, not at all. But they are better than no curds at all.

Lovecraft exists more as a meme rather than an actual historic figure these days, much like Tesla. This is not to say we should forget his racist views (we shouldn’t, and anyone that reads original Lovecraft works should be keenly aware of them when analyzing his work in my opinion), but rather the HP Lovecraft so…

Question: I’m a Single White Male in an apartment, and have for years been denied roasted pumpkin seeds because I have zero justifications for buying and carving pumpkins just for the seeds. But this year I finally spotted the raw pepitas in my local grocer’s bulk food area and made a damn fine batch roasted for…

Madison bars are plentiful and often comfortable. Our liquor and beer is cheap compared to cost of living. And when the freezing times come most of us in this city have home bars to keep us warm.

Do not be concerned. Unless you get challenged to a drinking contest by whomever you are seeing in our fine state for business. If this is the case simply brace yourself and don’t forget to have a Brandy Old Fashioned before leaving.

Yup, remember the words of Lewis Black:

The restaurant employee did a crap job of handling things, but unless that person is the owner or manager the best thing may be to write up a letter advising them of what happened because the system they were using allowed the mistake to happen.

Joel... may I call you Joel? ... Have you considered the option that meatloaf is just really easy to ruin rather than it’s all around bad? I agree that a lot of fellow midwesterners have an amazing lack of standards when it comes to meatloaf, but I have had good meatloaf. Often it’s about proper temperature control,…

And it’s great to cool off during Wisconsin Summer.

I’d like to see if EA reacts to this with more than a standard “Prayers and Condolences” politician reply. They have control of the Battlefield franchise, and while I am not one that believes digital violence = real world violence increase the Battlefield games directly benefit the arms industry which in turn pays the…

It helps that Jordan Weisman, the head of Harebrained Schemes, is the guy that created Shadowrun 1st Edition.

Does freezing gazpacho result in lost quality?  I’ve always thought that frozen gazpacho would be an excellent thing to have, just thaw overnight before serving or have gazpacho ice cubes to add to a bit of vodka.

What, did you just hit random on the internet insult generator? What am I; gay or someone that objectifies women? Don’t bother answering, I know you didn’t think that far ahead.

I got a vasectomy when I was 20 because I saw how things were going downhill. My generation has gotten screwed over by the baby boomers and their own self indulgences. Subsidies for college education? Gone, they didn’t want to pay out like their parents did for their generation and now I’ve now got crippling debt just…

I highly recommend Seattle Cider Co. if you are looking for a hard cider that doesn’t taste like alkipop.  Of their year-round selection the Dry and Basil Mint are my favorites.  If you can get your hands on their Limited Three Pepper bottles that’s also worth trying.
