https://www.chicagotribune.com/route-66-turns-100/ Hi folks, Member @Brad Olson brought this article to my attention: "The Chicago Tribune sent 2 writers on Route 66 to create a series of human interest stories. I was thinking about posting it in the Off Topic subforum, but one of the stops...

Johnny Cash.

Looks like it.

Had a chance to eat at The Butcherman BBQ at Sonoma Cheese Factory on June 17, 2025 and didn't have quite as good an experience as Richard S had. We arrived at about 12:30pm, so I was hopeful that fresh barbecue would still be available. You place your order up front in the grocery part of the...

Update: Alice's Smokehouse closed in 2021.

I learned yesterday that 43-year old Armadillo Willy's BBQ abruptly closed their Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and San Jose locations yesterday, after having closed another San Jose location in 2022 and their Los Altos and Dublin locations earlier this year. This leaves only the San Mateo location...

I just finished watching Family Beef, a 90-minute documentary from KXAN-TV in Austin TX. I really enjoyed it, and I think you will, too, if you like Texas barbecue and its history. I knew much of these stories, but not all of them, and found it interesting from several different perspectives. It...

A reader (not a member) of TVWBB reached out telling me that he's developed a free, open source tool for tracking and analyzing your cooking sessions. It's available on GitHub at this link: https://github.com/SmokeNotes/SmokeNotes I have not used this tool and cannot vouch for it in any way...

Looks very good. :)

I enjoyed reading your trip report! Glad you enjoyed Jack Stack and especially Joe's, it was our favorite during our 2022 visit.

Our previous-previous home built in 1996 was on a post-tensioned slab foundation and as you say water, gas, electric, and HVAC came down through the attic space and walls. Water was not a problem given the moderate San Jose climate. Only sewer exited through the foundation.

Yes, we had to replace a few perfectly good pots and pans when moving into a house with induction. But I’ve got gas and charcoal grills as backup! Same for us.

We had a great hood but rarely used it, even though you’re supposed to use it every time. We only used it when cooking stuff with strong odors. I bet most don’t use their hood when boiling water, making oatmeal, rice, heating soup, etc.

They cost more $$$, and people are very attached to gas, which I understand. Induction is not perfect, but neither is gas. Our home was built as an all-electric home after the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa, so gas is not an option for us in this home. But we don't miss our gas cooktop very much...

Our home we bought in 2023 came with a Bosch induction cooktop and a Bosch electric oven, our previous home had a KitchenAid gas cooktop. It takes some adjustment to use the induction cooktop, but it works great, is very responsive, brings water to a boil in nothing flat, and the surface cleans...

Paul Edward Kirk, known as "Butch" by his family and "the Baron of Barbecue" professionally, a creative and talented man who was passionate about food and cooking, and who was equally passionate about caring for his family and friends, died on Monday, May 26, 2025, after a long struggle with his...

…and the new #1 rated joint is Burnt Bean Co. in Seguin TX. Congratulations to pitmasters David Kirkland and Ernest Servantes, they’ve known great success up until this point, but with this achievement the next four years will be crazy good for them until the next ratings come out in 2029. Also...
