Being a bored 10 year old boy, newly relocated to Clearwater, FL, it seemed like a great idea when Greg started digging through old family recipes and taking them on by himself, simply for something to do. It’s pretty safe to assume that very little that he attempted was remotely edible, (homemade eggnog in August, [...]

It’s time to go Paula Deen on ya’ll. It’s not our fault, the TV made us do it.
See, we were sitting around this morning watching a network that airs a lot of food shows (we’ll let you guess which one) and it seemed that everybody was making his or her own twist on meatloaf.

Last week we were reminded why we love our neighborhood so much. The whole reason we bought a home - during the Great Inflation as we so fondly refer to it - was because we fell in love with the sense of historic community our little neighborhood offered.
On any given day, we can walk out [...]

In our other life, the superhero Chef side, we get asked to do more than a few things that we’ve never done before. No matter how outside our level of comfort, the answer is always the same; “yes, we can.” Can you do a pig roast for 150 people? “Yes, we can.” Can you teach [...]

I have a smoking problem. I admit it. Shamefully, I reveal to you my dirty, little BBQ secret.
The habit started small, with a Big Chief smoker in the early 90’s. I was smoking everything in sight – pears with alder, quail with tea leaves, mozzarella with cherry – it was really a bit unseemly.
As all [...]

I’ve really got a weird relationship with breakfast. The earlier I wake up, the more I want it. A big, bold breakfast. The kind of breakfast cowboys and farmers eat because it may be their only chance for a big meal.
It’s also dirt cheap to make and I’d like to say I am rollin’ in [...]

Last week, Greg came down with a bug. Two hours later, he’s held up in the bedroom, covered in blankets and drowning in cold medicine, vapor rub, OJ, and lotion soaked tissues.
Great, it’s Flu season.
In our world, there are no days off and certainly, no time to be sick. So, when it does happen [...]

If you ever have the opportunity to meet one of your idols, do it at all costs. Call every friend possible to watch the kids, break out the emergency credit card and go.
Go like the wind.
Leave behind all known responsibilities because, our dear friends, they will be there when you return. Never think you are [...]

*We have no photo at this time, because well, we ate it all. I do have 16 more breasts to go through and will promise a photo very soon! In the meantime, please enjoy this pan seared duck breast picture from our buddies at Fotocuisine.com. They did a Duck Breast Crepe with Apples and Feta. [...]

We got bored with just plain old pictures, so our buddy Jeff Houck (and kind-of boss) and film and camera man extraordinaire, came over one day to film Greg making this AMAZING Fried Chicken recipe. The result, super crispy, perfectly spiced, smack-yo-mamma-its-so-good fried chicken and a $475.00 Circuit City receipt. Why take pictures when we [...]
