BURGER EXPERIMENTALISM VOL. 2: THE BAHN MI BURGER
Lemme just preface everything by saying I don’t really do Asian food. Don’t get me wrong. I love eating it. I crave it in ways that stalk my belly like insatiable beasts demanding ramen or gyoza or cha gio or General Tso's or any number of other things at 1 or 2 in the morning (usually after a beer or two). I search ...

BURGER EXPERIMENTALISM VOL. 1: THE CLASSIC
Light a fire. As you do, wander the yard to the shed, find the fridge in it and open a coldbeer. The coals need time to burn yet. Besides, it’s hot out. A man get’s thirsty. Stare blankly.

QUITE POSSIBLY THE GREATEST PORK SANDWICH EVER INVENTED
I really like grilling things. I also really like sandwiches, especially pork sandwiches. I’ve been a student of both for years and when the two come together, there’s a whole, whole lot to like. Because of this, I feel obliged to kiss the brilliant and most likely dead stranger who invented solomo on the mouth, ...
