  1. Woof. Didn't Peach fail with this model? FWIW, my price point for a magazine-ish thing is probably <$15.

    Buy a couple whole newspapers to set it on. Or broken down cardboard boxes
  3. I have an outdoor vented ventahood which does a stellar job on anything from the range as well as a cigar smoked nearby. Don't know the CFM but I remember I got it overpowered. Make up air is easy from a big fireplace in the kitchen

    Sous vide the breast for a decent texture
  5. How many times have I said this myself? 😉
  6. Cheeky lout. I'll be watching you.
  7. Wegman's and Giant have good systems. I'll go self check out every time, mostly because the lines are usually non-existent. They'll have three times the number of self check-outs as manned ones.
  8. That certainly is true. I'd take it further and say that US BBQ doesn't make for much of a restaurant experience even in the US. Its pretty monotone and largely too sweet for my taste.
  9. "People don't seek after US Barbecue"? Perhaps if you lived in Vermont or Maine... but all over the US South BBQ is the t hing and South American restaurants are a perhaps interesting novelty at best.
  10. One or two small cubes. I usually ask for neat with a glass of iced water and add ice judiciously to the whiskey/bourbon. Except Macallan's which needs none.
  11. Here's the return trip. DFW-PHL Short rib and "mac" and cheese. Both were better than the first trip , but still not good. Beef needed some interesting notes in the sauce which just tasted brown. The Mac was actually cavatapi, for which they gain points, but it was still bland. Hot sauce would've helped. The shrimp was benign and the cole slaw underneath was good. But who pairs shrimp with slaw? At least we were on-time.
  12. Not a bad idea actually. :-) Theres something to be said for watching the boys get thumped in Dallas too. Our son moved there. Barf

    Remembering Anna N

    Well-said
  15. Good points. Ultimately it is super-processed food. Hard to see the merit
  16. Phl -dfw American Short rib and cheese grits perhaps. Pretty bad
  17. I adjusted the simmer and its fine esp with a diffuser for tiny pots

    Boston Market does a good job
  20. That picture shows a volume of fries greater than the oil volume. Cavaet emptor
  21. @JoNorvelleWalkerlooks colorful
  22. no sense of adventure
  23. try cooking sous vide at 145 or so for a few hours
  24. Dryness comes from cooking too hot.

    Hit piece is right. You'd think Eater didn't get their payoff or something. Weird site.
