Tree Hugger - I'm a big fan of Dairy Palace. Also cool to see your son is in Boy Scouts. What rank is he? I'm an Eagle Scout. Had two different Cub Scouts from the neighborhood come by selling popcorn and I was a sucker, I mean very generous, and bought from both. I'll grab my food porn from Facebook and post here in a little bit.

Tree Hugger, are you guys looking to hire IT support? I think I could fit in well at your office. I'm pretty handy around a grill.

It's his first year with the troop after five years with the cubs, he's currently second class.

Sorry, we don't have on-site IT at my office. If we need anything it comes from our corporate headquartes in Richardson.

Homemade white trash steak frites! Ok, so the Kobe beef NY strip wasn't white trash but since the fryer is in the brink, we did McDonalds fries...and a lot of em!

Nice!

Things like this are why we need a drooling icon, Staff.

It was delicious:



pretty much followed Alton Brown's Brine/Roast method

army... not trying to start a religious debate, but what's the point in observing passover if you're going to eat bacon wrapped shrimp the next day?

My Thanksgiving bird...also using Alton Brown's recipe:



It was genuinely the best turkey I've ever had.

looks very good!

Since we're on a turkey kick. Smoked with hickory and stuffed with apple peels from fresh apple pie.

I just discovered this forum, which may lead to my eventual downfall . Here are a few of the pictures I have taken in my travels. Enjoy.


CFS at Lulu's in San Antonio


Chowder at Mo's in Newport, OR - pure greatness! http://www.moschowder.com/




Thurman Cafe in Columbus, OH - Best burger I've ever had, the Thurmanator. http://www.thethurmancafe.com/



C&J's


Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis, MN - The beer here is great! Walleye Hoagie



Stella's in Fargo, ND - Downtown dinner (diamond in the ruff with great Italian)



Juan in a Million in Austin


Pine State Biscuits in Portland, OR - Seriously awesome! This is The Reggie, a biscuit filled with fried chicken, egg, cheese and gravy. Gut bomb! http://pinestatebiscuits.com/



Jakes in downtown Portland, OR - Great seafood at a historic restaurant. This is probably the best Salmon I've had...very buttery and stuffed with Dungeness Crab, bay shrimp and brie. http://www.mccormickandschmicks.com/locations/portland-oregon/portland-oregon/sw12thave.aspx





Pot luck at family reunion at Lake Somerville



The prime rib that helped win the Best Aggie Tailgate from last year

Roasted bone marrow with pumpkin butter, followed by duck confit and a salad topped with a coddled egg. Restaurant was the Blue Duck Tavern in Washington DC, check it out if you're in town, amazing restaurant.

Got to go to South Africa back in September. Being a good foodie, I tried to take pics of the best meals.

Vegetable soup from a cafe in Paris


Cheese crepe from the same cafe


Bread pudding from a great restaurant at the Waterfront in Cape Town


Steak Mokolodi from the Mokolodi Game Reserve outside of Gabarone


My fav and what I miss the most...shrimp from Ocean Basket (think upscale Long John Silver's; they're all over South Africa)

Toasted ravioli at Charlie Gittos in St Louis


Chocolate-Oreo-banana concrete at Ted Drewes in STL

Pork Dumpling, Eggs Benedict, turkey & dressing slider, and kimchi (addicted) at the Wynn in Las Vegas. Pretty awesome combination.

Annie Gunn's in St. Louis: Muscovy Duck Confit with Duck Fat Fried Potatoes, Poached Pears, Sunny Side Up Farmer Egg, Local Lettuces and Cranberry Walnut Vinaigrette

Jakes in Portland is awesome. Was in Portland for a conference back in 08 and ate there 2 or 3 times in 4 days. Our hotel was just a short walk away.

Jakes is the only place I've ever been that has cut me off from alcohol. Therefore a thumbs down. I don't remember eating so maybe they were justified.

i need new pants after some of these pictures...holy crap

Lol, Jake's has a great wine list of Oregon wines. That's where I found Anam Kara Pinot Nior. It is a fantastic Willamette Valley vineyard.

Very cool. Good luck to him. I really enjoyed my time in Boy Scouts. If you have any questions, I'll be glad to help. Might not have an answer though, as that was 15 years ago.

Lunch today from La Palma in Conroe
