I’m kind of baffled by the instant read thermometer hate. Like he wants us to just cut the steak open and look at it? If you’re gonna do that anyway, why not just take the temp? Sure there’s differences in how temps/desired doneness for any given cut of meat, but that’s all knowable information. Same with the sous…

The relief of tension once you reach the front of the line—it could be seven, eight hours—

I also started to reverse-sear a few years ago when I started cooking with charcoal, and I have not looked back.

I’m very interested in the Zeno’s Paradox of having Chris Davis of .000 average face off against Trevor Rosenthal of the infinite ERA.

Fuck me gently, that’s Jamie Holzhauer! I was in the same gifted program in Naperville that he was, but then my family moved to a little town outside Joliet (where Nick Offerman’s dad was my social studies teacher).

Not only that, but there is a strong chance the winner of Pope/Deicide gets to play Alpha Omega in the Elite 8.  This needs to happen.

And that tantalizing Deicide-Pope Thrower matchup is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

Come ON! Deicide Huxtable deserves this win. C’mon folks, it’s not decide, it’s DEICIDE. A seminal heavy metal band, and also an awesome word:

Yes, and my fantasy baseball team has Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, JD Martinez, Francisco Lindor AND Manny Macahdo

Die Hard is a sandwich. Hot dogs are Christmas movies.

Smoked brisket taco.

That’s about as likely as getting St. Louis to shut the fuck up about provel on a pizza. 

Sounds about right. I feel like it’s in a weird spot nowadays. It’s easily better than the standard array of domestics and Big Name imports, but you can almost always find a craft brew that you’ll like better.

Frito Pie or GTFO!

Tracy, your dad sounds pretty awesome to take you to a concert that meant so much to you!

Yeah airplanes are renowned for their ability to never be affected by weather...

Plenty of planes get delayed for weather that is no problem for a train.

No, sorry. Not after what Dr Pepper/Snapple did to Dublin Dr Pepper.
