I’m pretty much convinced that you can’t screw up a Bành Mì sammich. We tried it with meatballs, pork loin, even hotdogs. Great every time. And then we realized: we’ve never tried chicken. So, one quick trip to The Battle … Continue reading →

I know I’m going to eat well this Father’s Day … because I’m heading to the farm to see M’s folks, and that guarantees good grub. (Left: poppies from the front yard.) Best fried chicken in the free world, fresh … Continue reading →

Posted on June 13, 2010 by SAO'
