Falcons and Saints have the easiest schedules, most forgiving paths to the playoffs—Steelers and Bills got the hardest schedules. My Niner’s got a rather tough schedule, but at least I’ll get to watch them 6 times during prime time...

Ultimately, ‘Mediterranean’ way of eating is just a term, it’s just to convey ratios of meat/carb/plant in meal compositions to eaters wanting a healthier diet—not a description of how all people in the Mediterranean actually eat. Baby steps towards a certain direction.

Why seek a substitute when the real McCoy is easily accessible? My interest isn’t about metal handles, but about maker, and design of arguably the most tattooed knife around. I’ve never met a kitchen knife I wouldn’t try.

Picked up half a soy sauce chicken from Chinatown, made a salad, small batch of aloo chana masala, and pot of basmati.

I’ve also never tried a knife with the Kramer profile, had considered the Kramer-Zwelling, 52100, at Sur Le Table. The shape is so different from everything I have.

Cheers! Though that doesn’t do it for me.

Hahahaha! If you read my initial post I’d mentioned the nonexistent concept of an endgame knife as a collector, that I’ll always find a direct to collect. Yes, quite interested in trying out the iconic Global—I’m sure many here have tried one, but I’ve not. I’m not chasing knives that perform...

Generally, the more upscale the burger, the more minimalist the approach—compared to down-market burgers slapping everything under the sun onto a burger. Here's the $38 Minetta Tavern Burger made from prime beef cuts, served with caramelized onion. TBH, I'd rather spend $26 on a pastrami on...

Scrapple is greatly under-appreciated.

Offal was familiar comfort food for me growing up—tripe, hearts, tongue and spleens, etc. Here's one of my fave offal counters, a pit stop when visiting family.

Burgers greatly benefit from the holy trinity of condiments—mayo, mustard, ketchup

I do get annoyed when people pontificate about food, ...or knives. I get where my parents are coming from—they grew up during WW2, when food was scarce, eating supper behind blacked out windows, etc. ...although, more annoying for me is the carnivorous bravado, anti-vegetarianism I often see...
