Re: “Free books for food/drink lovers”
Tough to say...Fran's Filling Station for consistently good service and comfort foods are what I'm digging with this cold weather moving in!
Re: “Free books for food/drink lovers”
Just had summer corn/mushroom risotto with shrimp at Terra and my life is forever changed. I don't even like shrimp! Risotto was more perfectly prepared than any I've had in Italy. Was worth the splurge
Re: “Free books for food/drink lovers”
Cabo Fish Taco is by far one of, if not THE best restaurant in Charlotte. They have such fantastic and diverse dishes. There is always a line for a reason! Delish!
Re: “Free books for food/drink lovers”
I'm new to the area, but have been working my way through some great restaurants. Favorites so far are The Wooden Vine and 300 East. Moved here from Atlanta and agree with the previous comment...I love Woodfire and Flip!

Soul Gastrolounge when I want to splurge on a cocktail. Luna's Living Kitchen when I want raw, unadulterated brilliance.
Re: “Cocktail Recipe: Cider Side Car with Serious Cider”
Isn't there supposed to be Foggy Ridge cider in this recipe?
Re: “Local Discovery: The motherload at the Meat House”
I went to the meathouse, the meat is over priced and just vendor supplied. They told me that brave heart meat is a huge company and based in the midwest and reputable. I am from Iowa and worked for 7 years there cutting meat, and I have never heard of that brand. I also saw one of the employees put his hand in his pants, and when I got home and opened my meat, there was a thick curly hair on it, so gross, I will not be back.

Re: “Free tickets to the Renaissance Festival”
Hi,
I was just wondering if you possibly have any tickets left. I have a group of young men with downs and sutism that would love to go to the festival, but I am trying to work within a very tight budget because they have to pay their own way. Please let me know of any other options available if you are aware of such.
Thank you,
Leigh Dison
Re: “WTF are you eating? Think about that for a second.”
There was a sci fi short story titled 'Young Love' in which the artificial food was causing limitted mentation in the eaters and 'real food' was worth more than gold. There was the movie 'Idiocracy' featuring a nation of IQ 40 pinheads that ended up being lead by a Sleeper who was the only man with enough brains to advocate irrigating the farms with water instead of 'Brawndo' sport drinks. There was that movie 'Soylent Green' based on Harry Harrison's 'Make Room, Make Room!', and Phil Dick's 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' in the form 'Bladerunner'. Isn't this enough warning? Should I throw in Wells's 'Time Machine' and those Terminator movies with Skynet? Let's listen to some music, I'll choose ZAKAS 'Tremble Tremor' and 'Brand Old', Spirit 'Nature's Way', and NEKTAR's 'Recycled' album...
Re: “Local Discovery: Paletas for the people”
I was literally just in the midst, at 4:00 am, of brainstorming this epiphany of an idea for a "to the tee" venture. Congrats, Señor Pop, for beating me to it. But competition is healthy, no?
Re: “WTF are you eating? Think about that for a second.”
ITS CORN PEOPLE ITS corn and pesticide yum yum, if worms cant grow in it on it or around it, why do you feed your self and your children this crap, when time and time and time again, the points point to a small amount of poisoning over time, will kill you how, tumors cancer, autism, and a bunch of other weird things that happen when DNA gets poisoned and retards itself into other shapes and missing pieces.

BBQ spaghetti is ghetto, but the phrase ""suck ass" is not?
Re: “Eating With Your Dollars: The best fast food money can buy”
Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead is amazing and I did a 30 day juice fast that totally healed and repaired my immune system that was totally destroyed from a parasite I pick up from a cruise 10 yrs. ago. We do all nuture everything and this was the fasting why to heal anything in the body. It super alkilines your body which no disease can survive in. I have epstein barr and mononucleosis in my system from sometime in my life and it will always be there dorment unless something triggers it. It always shows up in blood test and when I go to the homeopathic doctor but after I did the juicing niether one of them showed up in my testing and I had a live blood test done and my immune system is picture perfect. 4 wks. of juicing!!!! I have an Omega Juicer which is one of the best juicers to get. It cost around $330 and is smaller in size which mks it easy to tk with u on vacation if u r driving to your distination. We just went away for a wk and we took it with us and went to the grocery store and got the 25lb. of organic carrots and some other organic veggies and juiced for everybody and brought bk with us what we did not use. It was only a 1 1/2 drive so we could do that. ALWAYS wash everything organic or not in peroxide and water. Fill the sink up with water just covering the veggies/fruits and put a cup of pero. in the water and let sit for 15 mins., drain and fill bk up with water and squeeze a lemon into the water and sit for 5 mins. and u are good to go. My biochemist doctor and Dr. Hulda Clark who wrote The Cure for All Dieases and Cancers tells you to do this. It will wash and kill all herbecides, pesticides, parasites, bacterias that u do not want in your body. Cheap and easy. The Omega juicer is so good because it only goes 80 hP compared most juciers that go 1500 to 1800 HP which causes the breakdown of the emzymes and oxidation and that is why u have to drink it within 30 mins. The Omega does not do this because it goes slow so you can do your jucing up to 3 days ahead of time. We will do it for the day and the next. Only mix apples or pears with your veggies NO other fruits. Fruits have a totally diff. emzyme that it requires to break it down in our digestion then veggies. You can eat fruit 30 mins. before or after a meal. Apples and pears r the only ones u can mix in juicing or eating and cooking. Food Babe I love your sight and You Tube videos. I am 41 and look way younger because of doing what u do. We also do the Alkaline water machine and Rife machine. AMAZING!!!!!! Food Babe u an your hubby would be interested in these. Thanks again.
Tete ; )
