I love buffalo wings. As can be seen from the Wingtacular, Best Buffalo Sauce and the red stain on my shirt. So I have decided to list the best buffalo wings in the DC area. This list is not totally complete as I haven’t had every single hot wing from every single restaurant, but it [...]

Vanilla Wafers
The other week I was stumbling around the internet and I came across a blog that featured a recipe for homemade Vanilla Wafers. I haven’t had vanilla wafers in years, and they looked amazing. So I decided to give the recipe a try to see if the vanilla wafers tasted as good as they looked. [...]

This weekend I woke up with a little hangover and wanted to have a nice breakfast. When I walked into the kitchen all I found was a potato, onion and four mushrooms. What to do? The first thing was to add bacon to it. Without bacon fat, my hangover was not going anywhere. Next I [...]

Make a $5 Steak taste like $50
I went to the store the other day and they had an amazing sale on not so quality cuts of meat. Granted the steak that I picked up was a rib-eye, it didn’t have marbling and it was cut quite thin. However, I figured that it would be a good time to discuss how to [...]

Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
I have been making pizzas quite a bit on the blog. My old roommate Mark asks me each time I post a pizza, when are you going to write about the Chicago style pizza you used to make back in college. Well Mark, this one is for you. Quite frankly I was scared to recreate [...]

Bloody Mary
It is football season and one of my many traditions is to start the day off with a bloody mary. As a former bartender I have had many bloody mary’s in my day. Most of them were horrible. It was almost as if they just added tomato juice to vodka. After quizzing many bartenders on [...]

Epic Failure – Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes
Not every recipe can be a huge success. I am 2-2 with the pancakes on this blog. The deep fried pancakes were a horrible failure, now the cinnamon swirl pancakes are yet another epic failure. The other weekend I was experimenting with a cinnamon syrup mixture that I wanted to swirl into the pancakes. It [...]

Green Chili Sliders
Happy Labor Day!! I went to the store to make some nice green chili sliders but when I was walking through to the deli, I spotted what I thought was a mirage. Could it be? Why yes, it was slider buns. Pepperidge Farm makes slider buns, 12 per pack. Right then and there, I knew [...]

Time to cool down, Spaghetti Salad
It was a warm one the other day and I wanted something light and refreshing for dinner. So I called up my Mom and asked her for her spaghetti salad recipe. As a kid my Mom would make this for us in the summer. It is great as a side or alone served with some [...]
