Finally, some big progress to report… When I started this blog I had no intention of making it a more profanity-laden version of other KC food blogs that rush to tell the exact same stories. I also didn’t intend to have a year where I only posted two new items. I don’t claim […]
I don’t drink and I don’t gamble, strip clubs are just sad places for sad men if you’re older than about 25, and I would rather take a bullet to the back of the head than sit through a fucking performance of one of the 54 varieties of Cirque du Soleil currently being performed in […]

On the evening of February 11, 2013, while participating in CCVI Food Fight 4 at The Guild in Kansas City, I finally became a Foodie. If you know me, I have never viewed that as good thing.
