Another vote for the Breville here. We used it all summer instead of the big stove oven -- we made pies, coffee cakes, cookies, pizza, and even toast (also toasted bagels) and everything came out perfect while the house stayed cool. I think it's the best kitchen appliance we have ever bought.

Was that Kenley from Project Runway in the bar that used to be owned by the mean guy? I swear it was...

And I agree -- Tony was totally faced at the Prime Rib.

Best pork memory: a whole pig, roasted in an oil drum at a conference held on a TVA lake in the mountains of Tennessee. The pig was wrapped in chicken wire, and when done was pulled apart on a table covered in foil. We all devoured the pig, and late in the evening as the meat and fat had cooled, the table was covered in a layer of white lardy goodness. No pig has ever been more appreciated.

I haven't met a cut I don't like...

I live in Delaware, so when I see "shore food", I think NJ. But my favorite seaside food comes from Capt. Bill's Restaurant in Morehead City, NC. Served right on the water, surrounded by seagulls and hungry cats, the food is fresh off the boat. I like the fried fish dinner -- and the hush puppies are wonderful. That's one thing the north needs to adopt: hush puppies. Wish I was there right now.
