AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat LaFrieda Burgers

The best burger I ever ate was at Cindy's Backstreet Grill in St. Helena, CA. The meat was so fresh and moist, perfectly cooked, and really beefy.

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: M.H. Gordon's Vodka vs. Gordon's Vodka

Try running the local Gordon's through a Brita Pitcher a few times. It should take out a lot of the bite. We do that with Everclear when we make homemade Limoncello.

Prevention of Cross-Contamination! The one thing that can ruin a lot more than just the meal is being sick for several days afterwards because your salad got contaminated with raw-chicken.

Other than that - correct use of salt.
