Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife

My favorite is a 25 year old Rogers (Japanese made) 8" chefs knife. It is stainless steel so I have to sharpen it frequently but it takes a wicked sharp edge so I don't mind it so much. It is light weight so you have a lot of control.

Slyce: Chicago's New Coal Oven Pizza Champion

Just ate there last night and I have to say this is truly outstanding pie.
Everything about it was spot on. The crust was done to perfection on both of the 2 pies that my family got, terrific sauce and cheese.
I can only hope that more people find out about this place so that they can remain open in this small town.

The Strangest Burger I've Ever Eaten, From Chalet Regain in France

WAITER! THERE ARE SNAILS ON HER PLATE!
Now get them out of here before she sees them! Look away, just look away, keep your eyes that way! You would think that in a fancy restaurant at these prices you could keep the snails off the food! There are so many snails there you can't even see the food! Now take those away and bring us those melted cheese sandwich appetizers you talked me out of!

If you've ever worked at a chain restaurant/ fast food place...

I worked at a fast food burger joint in Illinois called "Bimbo's" in the 70's.
My version of a KFC Double down was pickles, bacon & mayo between
2 burgers-no bun.

Location: Northern Illinois

About: Just an average Gardener, Canner & family cook. Nothing too fancy.

Favorite foods: Deep dish pizza done right like Lou Malnatis.
Street pizza from Naples.
Spicy Southwest cooking.
Anything spicy hot.

Last bite on earth: Gyros & Saganaki with a big plate of onion rings fried in lard.
