Grippos BBQ chips. Can't get them where I live. They are CAKED with BBQ seasoning. To die for.

Jalapeños. Haboneros. Maybe some other chiles.

General Tso's chicken w/ white rice. Mandarin Kitchen, Elkhart, Indiana. My trusty USAToday.

Dark Chocolate, thank you very much!

Swiss cheese. Mayo. Potato chips.

Grilling. Definitely grilling. Cooking just about anything over an open flame makes it taste better - that and slathering it with BBQ sauce (slathering - is that a cooking technique?)!

Why has it got to be about white meat and dark meat? White and dark! Why can't we all just get along! White meat being eaten. Dark meat being eaten. White and dark meat being eaten! I have a dream where one day there will be equality for both shades of turkey meat. Both white and dark meat will inhabit the same place of respective honor on our Thanksgiving Day dinner plates! One day we will be free to eat white and dark, and we will sing that old Turkey Day spiritual, "Eat at last! Eat at last! thank God Almighty, we can eat at last!"

Sweet potato casserole. With some candied pecans on top. Heaven on a plate my friends...simply heaven.

The slow cooked, fall of the bone, sick pink ring, dry-rubbed and slathered in spicy, sticky, sweet BBQ sauce that makes me want to slap my grandma and put on a clean t-shirt kind.
