That looks pretty damn good. I could see where it might be the healthiest sandwich in the world, but at least it would taste good. That fried chicken sandwich hot dog thing? Good lord. I'm not a fan at all of either of those by themselves, let alone putting them together.
Yes, it looks good, but every time I try to eat something that thick it ends up all over my plate (or worse, my lap).

I got the lamb ribs when my in laws came to visit a few months ago. Man, if only lambs weren't so tiny. You may have given me tomorrow's lunch plans though.

I was in Third Man's hood over the weekend and tried Jon Russell's BBQ. Surprisingly good.

I'll have to try there.

I'm not saying it's as good as Oklahoma Joe's or Jack Stack, but BB's is five minutes tops from where I live and is pretty good in its own right.

I've heard good things about BB's but I'm just not down in that area often enough to have given it a try. Another place I would recommend is Slap's BBQ in KCK, although it is lunch only and probably a nightmare to try to pull off on a workday. I only go there on Saturdays.

Parked on the concrete walkway between the Cardinals’ clubhouse and the batting cages is a 40-foot long, Tennessee-orange commercial cooking trailer.

This muscle car of food trucks has 25 feet of cooking space and a built-in, 12-shelf Ole Hickory Pits barbecue smoker. The trailer is geared for barbecue competitions, but the Cardinals have leased it this spring and handed the keys to team chef Simon Lusky. It’s their latest advancement in what’s become a nutrition mission.

There is a chili cook off at work tomorrow, and I may have made my best batch ever! Just the right amount of tingle on the lips and not too tomato-y. :D

Gates in Independence burned down this morning.

I've never been to that one, and not that I go to Gates all that much anyways, but I always liked it more than I think most gave it credit for.

What a scam. Some people brought SOUP to the chili cook off. And wouldn't you know it -- #1 was a loaded baked potato soup, and #2 was a broccoli cheese soup. It wasn't called a soup cook off!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Lots of people said they liked my chili though. :)
