Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! I don’t hold back when I have a “Proud Papa Moment” and this is one of those. So, if you’re not into the doting dad thing, then you may want to skip on this one. Yesterday morning, at 5am, I took my son, 3B to the Career Center to grab a bus to head…
Salutations™!! It’s Christmas Day, which means that The BCPF’s brother and mother come to Ma ‘Rents’ home and we all celebrate together. Then, The BCPF and I head to Chef Travis Myers’ house and along with about 45 other people we have a big family-style dinner. 3B was able to go this year and that…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I didn’t go to Underdog Records last week because Jonathan was on vacation. We didn’t go this week because I was at Pride from 8a until 7p yesterday. And, we haven’t really gotten to listen to many albums because we’ve been slammed both weekends and during the week. But, we got…

Salutations™!! Last night, 3B and The BCPF and I went to Willows for an event with Chef Terrell Anistead and Ashley Hardesty (from Forsyth Seafood and Market) called The Table Experience. Chef Terrell had 3B come back and help them in the kitchen. Chef Jesse got a chef’s jacket from his car and put it…
Salutations™!! Today on The Man Who Ate the Town podcast, it was a slow food week, really, but I did talk about my pal Chef Travis Myers becoming a finalist in the NCRLA Chef Showdown. I also wrote a blog post about that over on the TMWATT site. Also, in news that Ma Mère will…
Salutations™!! Last night, Danielle, Bethany and I recorded the first ever episode of The Less Desirables from our new digs. I have used that term a lot in the last bit but I feel it’s appropriate for this location. Anywhat! Now that we have all the ducks in place, I am in a position to…
Salutations™!! Kelly Bone and I recorded The Man Who Ate the Town Podcast today and it felt good to be back. We talked about several things with Jay Pierce becoming the new EC for Mozelle’s, Zesto Burgers and Ice Cream opening in East Winston and the Texas Pete Spirits of Summer Festival coming this weekend,…
Salutations™!! Kelly and I were joined by one of my man crushes, Chef Travis Myers. He talked about things happening at Willows Bistro, his life, his family, his history. We had a grand ol’ time with Chef today. We talked about some closings, some relocating and a brand new name for Triad Community Kitchen. You…
Salutations™!! So, The BCPF and I didn’t go to Underdog Records this weekend because we were up in the mountains with The Beer Dads crew, at least most of them. We were missing one couple that has become part of the family. That was a shame but we had a fantastic time up in Asheville….
Salutations™!! As The Beer Dads embark on our first actual “mini-vacation” with each other to the nether regions of Asheville, NC, this weekend, I wonder if that will be enough beer for us? I mean, Asheville is the beer capital of the east. Several major breweries from the mid-west and west coast have built their “eastern…
