What You Been Grilling?
Memorial Day Weekend is the official start of grilling season. Plenty of folks have been searing all spring as social distancing keeps most of us in our own backyard or out on the balcony. The rain can’t stop us, either: Weber grillmaster Kevin Kolman applauded my efforts, which inspired me to spark up my…

Big Beef Runners
A big beef from Portillo’s recently found its way into my home. I Grubhubbed the BBS (big, beautiful sandwich) with hot and an order of large fries. Since I was ordering, I added a second meal for the next day – two chili dogs. Doubling up my orders has become standard practice during the coronavirus…

Two Burger Weekend
If the weekend starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday night, then I can say I got down on two pub burgers over the weekend. After a workout and a sauna on Thursday night, I met my sister Meg and our softball teammate Zotti at Floyd’s on Armitage. I was ravenous after burning some calories.…

Gino’s East Frozen Pizza is Just OK
Gino’s East was on sale at Mariano’s the other day – 2 for $12 or something like that. Saved a couple bucks. Trustworthy Chicago brand name I’d never sampled. Packaged in a full cardboard box, hinting at quality. My usual Home Run Inn and DiGiorno didn’t sport markdowns and wasn’t feeling like a budget option…

SkiFest: Devil’s Head in Merrimac
My brother-in-law started a tradition many years back called SkiFest. After a hiatus, we brought it back this year to celebrate Stephen’s birthday. Basically, it’s a weekend-long party with some skiing involved. Skifest is based at Devil’s Head Resort in Merrimac, Wisconsin, where Stephen & his friends (the numbers eventually swelled as both my sisters’…

Where’s the Meatball Sandwich?
An endearing memory of my paternal grandmother involves a meatball sandwich. Nana was visiting from New Jersey and we went out to dinner at Antonino’s along the train tracks in LaGrange. Apparently, our order took too long to come out for Nana’s liking. Yet, she was only concerned with one portion of the order –…

The Joker is a Dark Wonder
The Joker is directed by the guy who made one of my all time favorite films, Old School. This is another triumph for Todd Phillips. I mean, getting Joaquin Phoenix to act like a disturbed weirdo isn’t exactly trophy worthy in and of itself – but still. Dark and fucked up, that’s how I’d describe…

Truly on tap; BJ Armstrong; and the legendary Calzone of Iowa City
Truly on tap. I hadn’t fathomed such a thing until I arrived at the Vine with T Roth & MG in Iowa City on Friday night. The 11am game meant we got to visit our alma mater for 2 nights, which is awesome. If you’re not familiar with Truly – it’s the Pepsi to Whiteclaw’s…
