So once upon a time, I used to travel to Chicago quite often for work. Enjoyed many an establishment in the Windy City, but the one we’re talking about today is Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap. I originally went to try their Chicken Wing challenge (you know me, I gotta have that super hot […]

This might be the largest post I have for ya to date. I did some location things already this year (Nebraska Runza, Cincinnati Skyline, Chicago coming soon).. but I gotta tell you what might be my favorite dish: The New York City Halal Cart. It’s well known and famous by now, so I

Hope you all checked out MrsForensicBBQ’s shawarma post on Monday. I’m finishing up the week with some protein. I bought a whole pile of Costco bird and kind of settled in that I’m going with some boring food for a bit. That “bit” lasted about 10 minutes because I was already looking for

As we approach Christmas, I thought no better post to really highlight the holiday season than my first attempt at the famous Almond Boneless Chicken. What I did not know, is that the Detroit-area Chinese establishments is where this dish shines. Not really all that famous anywhere else. I did just a little

So we’re not doing anything different than my other cheesesteaks I’ve posted on here – see Blackstone Cheesesteak – but we are going to use chicken this time around. My only concern here was not drying out the chicken. I was quite pleased to see this pack of “Shaved Chicken Breast” – and

Was thinking of some ways to spice up my freezer pack of chickens. I used to live off a local shop’s “chicken and rice” dish that was simple, had a tahini drizzle and a delicious rice base. It wasn’t on the menu (it was much too simple an offering), but they made it
