For some people this may be an emotionally challenging photograph, especially for supporters of Todd “in absolutely now way related to Jeff” Akin. For that I apologize (especially about the sweet potato). Food phalli aside, this was intended to be a simple sample of fall flavors. Roast a few sweet potatoes and beer brats. Saute sliced [...]

Good news: This recipe is a simple way to celebrate summer vegetables. Bad news: Summer is over and tomatoes (at least the ones that don’t taste like a big, mealy pile of nothingnesss) are gone. If I had posted this on August 8, before Emily and I fell off the face of Planet Blog’n’stuff, you [...]

I make the best fried chicken in the world. Or more accurately, Thomas Keller makes the best fried chicken in the world, and I follow his recipe. I know what some of you are saying, “Nuthin’s better than gran’ma’s fried chik’n.” But I hate to break it to you, it’s just not true, no matter [...]

Even though he says they don’t, I’m convinced that the chilaquiles that Patrick Ryan serves up at Port Fonda have crack in them. And I’ve been waiting a damn long time to put them in my mouth — since last fall, when the Port Fonda food truck was still parking outside The Rieger. In the [...]

Fact: the pork tacos, or Tacos De Cochinita, at Frida’s have magic sauce in them. This “magic sauce” is actually the sauce they’re roasted in — a combination of achiote, sweet and sour orange juice, and red onions — but for the purposes of this post, we’ll just continue to call it magic sauce. This [...]

There’s a restaurant doing barbecue chicken better than anybody else in the entire metropolitan area and it’s called El Pollo Rey. I think it’s in a barn. It’s tucked away in Armourdale (or Argentine or Rosedale – I never really know the difference), KCK, in a place you might be able to drive by without [...]

(Note: I tried to post this awhile ago, but every time I go buy one of these sandwiches it somehow finds its ways into my mouth before I have time to take a usable picture. Finally I waited long enough to get an actual picture.) Emily talked sandwiches in the radio a few Fridays ago. [...]

Here at feed me kc we do not hide our obsessive tendencies (Exhibit A: Emily’s well-documented food obsession). And I become especially fanatical when I experience something totally new (to me), such as this piping hot bowl of dolsot bibimbap. I’m the least Korean member of the staff here (Kyle lived in South Korea for [...]

No, no, you’re right; I’m not really eating bread these days. But since today is my 30th birthday, and if I’m being completely honest with myself, goat cheese and bread, when put together, form what might be my most favorite combination on Earth (other than pulled pork on a sesame bun with slaw, which I’m [...]

I’d like to be … under the sea … in an octopus’ garden … in the shade. Because that would probably be a great place to kill a bunch of octopuses. And then I could bring the massacred sea monsters back to shore, where I would boil them, grill them, and eat them. And then [...]
