You know I’ll kinda go out on a limb here, and say that popeyes is the one franchise fast food place that most chowhounds would not turn their noses at. I am almost always happy there, and especially like the crawfish,...

Come on down to the Mission just about every night, but especially Friday or Saturday night, and follow your nose for the infamous Mission Dogs. Street-corner vendors wrap hot dogs with bacon, fry 'em up in their own grease, and...

I once stepped into the Perry’s in Old Town. The air was so thick with bacon or other pork grease that I literally gagged as I ran out. That smell must be alluring for some of you. I can’t imagine anybody who is not a...

, and cover that with a layer of stewed tomatoes, with hot sauce on top of the whole shebang. You might want to add a clothes pin for your spouse’s nose.

Do you think that they didn’t want to raise the bar any higher than, say, Junior’s? Is this the most ‘upscale’ Federal Hill can get? Casual wine bars...trendy? i loved the old Corks but hey, I won’t...

ends up with grease and juice on the chin, the cheeks and sometimes the nose, but what are napkins for, anyway. BTW, ALWAYS have the oxtail jointed, so as to get the maximum amount of gelatine from the bones. The sawn oxtails...

I think I’ve yet to meet an enchilada I would turn my nose up at.
