Continuing So Good’s quest for global domination, or at least DC saturation, a quote from my post about Potbelly’s new sandwich was picked up by the Washington Express Blog Log this morning.  This seems like a good precursor to lead into my anti-ranch rant that I’ve had planned for a while.

Apparently, things haven’t been gross enough the past few weeks. While the goal of this column is not to see how much disgusting food I can consume, I do consider myself a woman of the people. People want gross, I will give them gross. This one is a reader request. When I contract some sort [...]

After I first proposed the idea of a pulled pork cheesesteak, but before I had even had a chance to make one myself, one of my favorite readers, Chef Mike, contacted me to share the version of the pulled pork cheesesteak that he had created.  Well, Chef Mike is at it again, sending in a [...]

Ole Energy Review

by · October 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I’m gonna get right to the point: I can’t figure out how to put the accent over the “e” in Ole. So just deal with it.  No wait, that wasn’t the point. I’m going to get right to my other point: This drink was awesome. I’d like to say something right up front: I am [...]

My friends over at A Hamburger Today and Serious Eats have assembled something so genius it even rivals my pulled pork cheese steak creation.  What is this glorious creation? The Hamburger Fatty Melt.  A burger patty with two grilled cheese sandwiches serving as the buns. Apparently it’s a slight variation on something called the “Chubby [...]

Austin City Limits Festival Knows Food

by · October 2nd, 2008 · 8 Comments

This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to the Austin City Limits music festival in Texas. Most people went for the three days of music – 8 stages and 130 bands. This is mostly why I went.
