Mastering Barbecue Side Dishes

That's like saying what's Thanksgiving without hot dogs and burgers.

You meant to say, either "What's barbecue without slaw and beans." or "What's a fish fry without slaw and hush puppies."

A barbecue is a pork sandwich that comes with slaw on it.

Has Anyone Had Sister Schubert's Rolls or Marshall's Biscuits?

Sister Schubert Cinnamon rolls are great too.

I'm glad the article mentioned serving them with pork tenderloin. That's always been a tradition in our family (at least since we found out about the sister and pork that you could leave a little pink).

Pork tenderloin marinated in OJ Concentrate and fresh chopped rosemary, charred on a grill, sliced, and stuffed in a yeast roll is very good thing and great for having company over.

Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast

I'd add "just about anywhere in Memphis" or "any catfish place in Mississippi" to the list, though the quality varies. The spears just don't work for me, especially if you're getting them as an appetizer. All that water in the cucumber keeps them nuclear hot for a long time after they hit the table. By the time they cool off, your fried catfish has already come.

Fast food regional items - do you try?

Does anyone remember when McDonalds would roll out some fancy ethnic themed sauces with their McNuggets? I can remember Chinese and Mexican, but there may have been more.

Fast food regional items - do you try?

In Memphis you can get a country ham or spicy chicken biscuit at McDonald's. Biscuits and gravy used to be available, and may still be though I haven't had that hankering lately. The chicken biscuit holds up well against Chick Fil-A's.

I traveled in Europe with a hypoglycemic friend. We had to eat every 3-4 hours, and ended up at McDonald's fairly often because the bathrooms were free and clean. Plus, you can get an idea of the exchange rate by comparing McDonald's items to ones back home (probably a bigger deal before the Euro).

One of my favorite European McDonald's treats is beer. After that, the McItalia I had in Paris was good (with "motzarella" cheese and tomato sauce). The McKroket in Amsterdam is frightful but oddly compelling. In Austria, there was something called a McFarmer that may have been made out of pork.

Years later, I had a very tasty mcchicken big mac in Beirut.

The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever

Doggy Style Hot Dogs in Memphis, which opened in a space formerly occupied by Chitlins N' Thangs. This was a great place to get a really good chicago style hot dog at a great price in a really attractive space. The name killed it for me though. The last thing I want to be reminded of while eating a hot dog is sexual activity.

It closed.

Martha Stewart's Macaroni and Cheese

This recipe has a devoted underground following. In our house, it's referred to as "$30 mac and cheese" because of the raw ingredient price, or "crack and cheese" for its addictive properties.
