Last weekend we went back down to Chicago. The wife, my sister, and "my no-brudder-good-in-law from Illinoiss" all conspired to get me a surprise birthday gift last month of tickets to see Alton Brown's Edible Inevitable Tour.

It was actually a very entertaining show. The comedic skits/rants were funny, (the 'chicken fingers' story was hilarious). The cooking demonstrations were amazing. Big surprise for me that night were the musical acts. Had no idea Mr. Brown was so adept on both the guitar and sax. If you're familiar with the show Good Eats, the legal team of Itchy & Twitchy..... the scrawnier, younger looking one, was on drums. The songs were just made-up goofy stuff kinda like what you'd expect from Weird Al Yankovic, but they sounded a LOT better than Weird Al's stuff usually does.
Earlier in the day we went for brunch at
Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes. Great tasting food. So much so, that I managed to fill up completely and never made it to the baked potato bar, didn't get any flatbreads, and believe or not, I couldn't even make it to the deserts bar. Shah! Me....... passing up on brownie bites? That soup bar did me in, man.
On the way home we swung by
Superdawg at their Wheeling location. (we had been to the Chicago location on a previous visit) "
Good stuff, Maynard."
Hopefully when you guys are making up these delicious vittles, you too have the camaraderie that turns a pot of food into a meal. Keep it up, Gents, some pretty good lookin' stuff goin' on out there.
