-to-eat food service (ice cream stands and diners are ok, butcher shops and produce stands are not)   3. must be great (and, preferably, summery).   Thanks!

OK, this was one TOUGH Quickfire – work with cactus, kangaroo, or snake, and the viewers chose cactus! Tim Love as guest judge, and the winner gets $15K in a high-stakes QF. Low end? Ash, Michael (ouch!), and Ron. Even more...

Hi Ron, Sometime ago, I had done a search on sushi and what I referred to wasn’t made up from the seat-of-the-pants. There may not be direct FDA control of restaurants but their standards are often adopted by states and...
