Strip!

Ribeye!

Nick,

I'm thinking Blue 9 Burger has the best delivery burger in the neighborhood. Of course my clinical addiction to In n Out spawns a great bias in this case.

Flash-sauteed calamari in good extra virgin olive oil and a healthy dose of red pepper flakes.

I like my steaks like my poker--strip.

When in doubt either marinated olives and other antipasto items, or guacamole.

It may not be the most popular, but brussel sprouts with bacon is easily my favorite side.

Well, I've had the same unopened bottle of Liquid Smoke in my fridge for over 2 years, yet I refuse to donate or throw it out for fear that one night I will awake with a brilliant application.

Lately I have substituted Vidalias or other sweet onion for all my onion use. They are so delicious no matter how prepared (even eaten like an apple) that I can't seem to stock enough. To add fuel to the fire, Wegmans only had 3 left a few days ago. Apparently, I'm not the only one with the obsession.

Easily the snickerdoodle. If only to say snickerdoodle at a higher than average rate.

When I was a kid, my mother would make a New Year's goose and refrigerate the fat. Literally anything sauteed in that fat is elevated to Himalayan heights.

Alright, let's go deeper. Uh, what kind of man are you? Well, you're weak, spineless, a man of temptations, but what tempts you?
You're a portly fellow, a bit long in the waistband. So what's your pleasure? Is it the salty snacks you crave? No no no no no, yours is a sweet tooth.
Oh you may stray, but you'll always return to your dark master, the cocoa bean.
No, and only the purest syrup nectar can satisfy you!
If you could you'd guzzle it by the gallon! Ovaltine! Hershey's! Nestlé's Quik!

BOSCO!

Roasted cashews at any friendly Nuts 4 Nuts vendor. Simple, I know.
