Apparently they're going to rework one of their big hits from the '70s...it's going to be called "Detroit Choke City"! And that's the truth...I'm not Lion!

Fort 88 Smokehouse in Fort Atkinson has been around since 2017 but it took me until last month to finally get there, when my wife and I stopped in for lunch on a dreary Sunday. We only live about 30 minutes from Fort (as the locals call it) so I can't claim distance as the reason it took me so...

Last year (or maybe it was 2023) the Brewers had a "Major League" theme night and my wife and I just happened to be there. During 1 or 2 of the inning changes, the scoreboard put up a "Who Said It: Bob Uecker or Harry Doyle?" quiz. It was some good stuff.:ROFLMAO:

Just the tip of the iceberg: https://www.mlb.com/news/bob-uecker-favorite-stories-memories?t=brewers-history-trivia Back in the early '90s I was in a bowling league, and one of the guys told a story that he swore was true. He was visiting family and was hanging out in the back yard with his...

Bob told his best stories during rain delays, when he didn't have to interrupt them to do play-by-play. Opening Day's going to be really, really tough.

Move the car and the smoker, and clear the driveway. Somebody might want to shoot a few buckets!

Definitely summer. There's a far less likely chance I'll be arrested for putting clothes on instead of taking them off.

Drink faster. ;) I'm a four season cook but not a bad weather cook. My gear is sheltered but the walk from and to the house is no fun when it's raining or there's a nasty wind chill.

I still use the "Monkey Ward" meat grinder that my wife and her dad used for sausage 50 years ago.(y)

You should've hit the Korean place up on Riverside Blvd...I really want to give their fried chicken a try one of these days! I have a 2-bone rib roast on the kettle rotisserie right now. It's nice being an empty nester.;)

I'm a little late to the party, but I didn't see this mentioned in the thread and it's worth knowing. Dave Anderson hasn't been associated with Famous Dave's for quite a few years now. After he got out he started a place called "Jimmie's Old Southern" that has a few locations under his son's...

Thanks for the replies! One thing I forgot to mention is that when I ordered it at the meat counter, I became some sort of mini-celebrity. A few people gathered to watch it being cut, and a couple of them asked me if I'd had Wagyu before, how I was going to cook it, etc. So clearly I'm far...

Last summer my wife and I met some friends for lunch at Beach Avenue BBQ, located on the square in Brookfield, IL. And while I got a photo of the square I forgot the building...oops! This is what greeted us when we entered. Nice! The special that day was a smoked double/Iowa pork chop. A...

The only way to fly! Smart move, loading up everybody else with veggies to leave more beef for you.;) The title of your thread has given me the inspiration for my next (ok, my first) book: "Chuck Brisket, Barbecue Detective"!:)

It was bound to happen eventually, no matter how many times my wife said, "No!";) Back in November I finally convinced her to let me try a piece of American Wagyu (birthday money came in handy). This is an A5 rib steak that was cut to spec at the Hy-Vee in Janesville, WI. Because of the...

And they're definitely vintage!;) When I was chronologically young my dad had an old cast iron beast of a Craftsman vise that he'd gotten from his grandfather. In the early to mid '80s the screw finally broke so he took it to Sears because hey, lifetime warranty. The clerk called over the...

UPDATE: SSS closed permanently this past Nov. 14. Based on some of the comments I saw in a Reddit thread, it might not've been what it once was. Chris, could you maybe add "(closed)" to the end of the thread title, please? Thanks.

I'm guessing there was a minor adjustment to your appearance after that.;)

And certain auto parts stores which may or may not employ someone who may or may not be me...

Will do! You realize that "luck" translates to "commission", right?;)
