If you hate turkey burgers, forget about that for a minute. Edzo’s turkey burgers are delicious. They’re thin, griddled 100% dark meat patties that, though they’re a little more crumbly than a beef patty,...
A funny thing happened this month while I was working on my post about Choripán. I happened to look again at the screencap from this month’s section of The List and notice something I hadn’t before....
Even before Hot Doug’s closed its doors in 2014, there was no shortage of places in Chicago selling dressed-up gourmet sausage. With Doug in retirement, Chicago threatened to become the Westeros of encased meats. A...
Hot Doug’s is back! Well, sort of. You may remember that Doug Sohn, Real Life Sausage King of Chicago, spent a lot of time in the last few months of his restaurant’s existence vowing that,...
A week or so ago, a mate on facebook posted that she’d picked up someone else’s Indian Takeaway from the fabulous (but “under new management” so the website doesn’t work) Bharat International Indian Supermarket. The...
The youngest boy had his birthday party on the weekend. Those of you who are a bit au fait with Aus culture might see where this is heading… I find it really hard to believe that...
The other night, I was up late brewing a batch of beer (and drinking a few while I worked). A late night for me usually means a rushed morning, privileging an extra few minutes...
I’ve been hammered really hard by a cold for over a week. When I’m sick, I like to eat a lot of garlic in the simplest way possible. So when I finally woke...

Jim Behymer (375)I like sandwiches.
I like a lot of other things too but sandwiches are pretty great
Crit (27)I'm a mother of two boys. I work selling organic produce to gullible locals, and in my spare time I run as far as I can. Oh, and I live in Australia, married to a US citizen.
Drew (14)I'm a transgender weirdo who loves music, books, comics, and all kinds of other geeky crap. I edit an arts/music/culture magazine in my hometown of Richmond VA (rvamag.com). But let's not talk about my day job. Let's talk about food. I love food.
Brian (7)I'm a tax guy and technical writer living in the city known to its locals as The Big 'Ago. I self-identify as a fighter against culinary dogma, a sandwich lover, and an overly-earnest hot dog enthusiast.
juliachildish (4)No denying it, I like the sensual things of the world, especially good food and drink, though I'm no snob when it comes to either. A background in American cultural history and food studies makes me approach the world with a desire for contextualization and connection on the way to synthesis.
Thom (1)I'm a seafood-obsessed environmental scientist from North Carolina currently enduring the pain of living in a landlocked state. I spend most of my free time thinking about baseball, history, Shaw Bros. movies and weird synthesizer music.
Marinus (1)A South African now living in Australia, after 12 years in New Zealand and 4 in Ireland. Has worked as an academic researcher for the past decade, which is only slightly less time than it took him to fulfil his promise of writing an entry for the blog.
