how was kincade's?

That faint popping sound you hear is Tonker's left ventricle blowing out like a bald tire.

Actually, a couple of days of salad, tennis and dancing since I got home and I'm more or less back where I started.  Well, in terms of weight, anyway.  My cholesterol might need a little longer to normalise...

how was kincade's?

Yeah, not bad at all.  The "barbahot" ribs were excellent, as were the Jamaican jerk - until I got one that absolutely blew the roof of my head off and spoiled my appetite.

There was wall-to-wall clunge, though, so that was nice.

The ladies Oleg start assisting trivially were quite clungy.

Yeah, you'll lose a fuckload of weight doing that.

Just to note that Big N Littles has now opened up a second location at Belmont and Sheffield.  New place takes credit cards and has lower prices (but somewhat smaller portion sizes) than the original.

I think most car dealerships have lower prices than Big N Little's

And they take credit cards. There is no excuse for not taking credit/debit cards. Any phone can do it, and cash is as dead as print.

Looks I'm actually going there right now. I bet it will be good and expensive.

Most car dealerships dont make short rib tacos as good as Big N Littles

Well, not since Celozzi-Ettleson Chevrolet closed up, at least.

Something that I (and STonk) really got into this time, in a way that I haven't really on previous visits, was Chicago dogs.  Honestly, the best Chicago dog I ever had was the one I made myself at Hawk's post-game soiree the other day, but we had several pretty good ones: Byron's was better than I expected, and if you haven't been to Hot G Dogs yet, you should go.

They don't have some of the fancier dogs that Doug did, but they're cheaper, less crowded, really friendly and their sausages are, as you might expect, fucking delicious.  The standard dog is perfectly good, their Italian's fat and savoury, but the stars of the show are the Andoville (swee what they did their?) pork sausage with onion, garlic and paprika, and especially, the Santa Fe chicken sausage with chipotle, peppers, onions, garlic and cilantro.  Mmm-mmm, that is a tasty sausage.

They do duck fat fries Friday through Sunday and they don't close mid fucking afternoon, either.  If you want a really good meal for really not very much money, you won't do better.

Apropos of which: anybody got any bright ideas as to how I'm going to get hold of green relish in NL?
