Karalee makes some spicy chicken wings

We’re a couple who really enjoy good food. We’ve dined at white table cloth restaurants literally all over the world. But, despite all the wonderful cuisine we’ve enjoyed, it’s the simple things that we really enjoy – grilled cheese, hot dogs and chicken wings, to name a few.
Karalee found a spice packet in the pantry that we picked up somewhere long ago and used it to make some great wings.

Nathan’s Famous

I love hot dogs. We have dined at white tablecloth restaurants literally all over the world. Despite that, I will drive an hour out of my way if I hear about a place with a great foot long.
Because of that, I was really looking forward to getting a tube steak at Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island. Unfortunately I wasn’t terribly pleased with Nathan’s wieners, or NYC food in general. If I were to claim a city as the Great American Food City, I would have to say Chicago – now, that’s a good hot dog.

Places like Coney Island are like Mecca to me – Niagara Falls, Wisconsin Dells and Coney Island, are dying bits a touristy kitsch that grew organically around natural attractions. This kind of thing is simply impossible in the world today.
