Have you figured out the number combo code above? What may it mean? What will it be? Send me a note, let me know your guess. There’s no prize, but there is an “atta-boy” or “atta-girl” in it for you.

On Asylum – Tales of the Devereaux Diaries Podcast this evening, the Kousins talked about my 2021 KISS albums rankings. I did a rating back in 2018 and that was partly the basis of this podcast that I do with my Kousins. We went through all the albums and talked about them. I posted my 2018 (part I) here and (part II) here. I’m not going to post the updated rankings just yet as I want you to listen to the podcast and find out that way. I will post it soon, though. So, in order to hear the episode, you should go here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

You know something, Dear Reader? You wouldn’t know it from looking at me but I love to eat. I love to have a little dessert with my meal. That may or may not actually be true, but I do love me some B&G Pies. B&G Pies have been staples in WSNC for 72 years. They are made right here and like snowflakes or fingerprints, no two are alike.

L-R: Shannon, Scorp, Bethany, Tracy

This week on The Less Desirables, we had Shannon Faircloth who is the owner of B&G Pies. Those little handmade treasures get me excited just thinking about eating them, and we talked about that, the history of the company, her history at that, the pies, how they’re made, and more. Shannon was a blast. Before the show, she didn’t know that she could stay long. She stayed for the whole show. The convo was good. The only thing missing? Pies!

We mentioned, a few times, that we were expecting pies and she totally spaced on us about the pies. But, you can listen to the episode if you visit here. Go have some pies!!! Lemon, peach, cherry, apple and chocolate! Check them out on social media!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Today was a very laid back Monday. Not on purpose, but it just “was.” Michael and I recorded The Man Who Ate the Town, talked about the Carolina Classic Fair, Farm 2 Fourth, Eat Drink Burger Week, and more. I also had a great conversation with Chef Brian DePaulis from Providence when I visited them last week. You should give it a listen. You can do that here. I’d really appreciate a “subscribe,” a like, a review, and a rating. It would help me tremendously!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

This week on The Less Desirables, I was without my work-wives Tracy (illness) and Bethany (vacay) and brought in the fantastic Jax who brought five Scotch Whisky brands for us to taste and try. I love Scotch and these were fantastic. Monkey Shoulder, Jura, Dalmore, Glenfiddich, and Balvenie. Mmmm, listen to Jax and me discuss Scotch, life and more, here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town, I introduced Michael Hastings, my friend and food editor for the Winston-Salem Journal. Michael is my new co-host and will be with me as he can. Understandably, he is a busy dude in the Winston-Salem/Triad area food scene. So, I understand he may not be there every week, but I hope that he will be there most weeks. We talked about the future of restaurants, the industry, struggles, comings, goings, and more. You can listen here.

This week on The Man Who Ate the Town, I go on a rant about anti-vaxxers. Yeah, I don’t do a lot of political things and this rant isn’t about politics. I know people on both sides of the aisle that are refusing to get it. I’m sure they have their reasons but, still… I’m not going into it here, as it’s not the forum. I will direct you to the podcast episode so you can hear it. Go here for that.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
