Beer and BBQ
Beer and BBQ, originally uploaded by BelchSpeak.
Irish beer is not always the best with pulled pork barbecue, but it worked for me at Black-Eyed Sally’s BBQ and Blues in Hartford Connecticut. Delicious pulled pork and great music. If you are ever in Hartford for business, definitely check it out.

NFL Lockout Bad News for Wings
Hot Wings manufacturers (which I guess would be chickens everywhere) are lamenting that the NFL lockout would be bad business for Wing makers.
From WLS here:
With NFL owners and players in a standoff, the CEO of one of the nation’s largest chicken farms warns that a long-lasting football lockout would be bad news for a gameday staple, the chicken wing.
“It will be a major blow,” said Joe Sanderson Jr., CEO of Sanderson Farms, the fourth largest poultry company in the U.S. “If we don’t have Sunday football, the demand will go down tremendously, and of course, if that happens, the price will go down.”
Wings have become too expensive in the past few years. 7 bucks for a 4 pound bag of low quality, young wings is outrageous. If the price comes down, I fail to see how that would be a bad thing.
And with less wings being cut off of chickens, maybe the wings we begin to eat will be meatier and bigger too.

Remembering Burger Chef and Jeff
Today we drove by the old Burger Chef building in my hometown and I had to explain to my wife what a Burger Chef was. I do remember the restaurant having better tasting burgers than McDonalds, but the store just let itself go and faded away from my hometown in the late 70’s.
Jeff was the pudgy cook’s teenage sidekick or something like that. Not too sure what the actual relationship was, but Jeff had a way of making burger flipping seem like a viable career choice. You can check out Burger Chef’s wiki article here.

The Last Breakfast
This is a great computer animation piece that shows all your favorite cereal characters together at last for a final breakfast. Who is Christ in the piece? Why Cap’n Crunch of course!
You can purchase a copy of this print from Etsy here.

Pasty

A Cornish Pasty is a meat filled pastry. You can find many of the Cornwall Pasty shops at train terminals in the UK and of course, in Cornwall villages. I snapped a photo of this sign at the pasty shop in Paddington Station.
