Some are original, some adapted, and some outright lifted. We’ve given credit where credit is due, and are always on the lookout for new things to cook. If you’ve got something to submit, Contact Us.
When the hated New England Patriots are vying for the NFL championship against the Tom Coughlin-led New York Giants, the only thing to root for is the chance to eat and drink enough for the rest of winter. Taco-flavored Doritos are the only thing that got me through the douchebaggy dominance of the mid-90s Dallas [...]
As a sort of counterbalance to last week’s 1980s Taco Box inspiration, this time around we’re going for a more traditional approach, something from every other Mexican cookbook I own. In fact, we’re going to use a whole damn chicken. Don’t be embarrassed if you didn’t know they came whole – the grocery tends to [...]
While it’s not a requirement for making this immensely pleasing sandwich, I would recommend that each and every one of you track down and watch a copy of The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. It’s a documentary about grown men and their video game records, but it’s also one of the most unique [...]
Two chili recipes in one week, you should feel lucky. This recipe was supposed to be for ‘white’ chili, but my chili didn’t end up looking too white. Alas, it’s called white chili because of the beans that are used, not the end result. So, that makes me feel better. Regardless, the recipe turned out [...]
I grew up eating a succession of bland dishes made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Apologies to my dear mother, who is actually quite the cook these days, but young JB Mays grew up detesting the soulless, chewy beige-ness of the boneless, skinless supermarket chicken breast.
Fast forward to present day, and my ridiculous Sriracha addiction. [...]
This is a fancified version of the wings that I brought to the 8/30 Man B Que. I only brought a couple dozen, which was, in hindsight, stupid. I’d equate it to attempting to feed a firehouse with a pint glass full of chili. In the attempt to get these ludicrously delicious wings to as [...]
Boneless chicken “wings” are a blight upon humanity – a wretched, corrupt gospel of half-assedness espoused by the kind of restaurants that consider Guy Fieri’s mid-90s slang to be fresh and marketable. Wings were born as a way to use a piece of the chicken that was considered good only for the stockpot or the [...]

Occasionally, the mood may strike to eat healthy. Or perhaps you’re entertaining guests who do. Either way, it’s worth having a few dishes in your back pocket that satisfy health needs and don’t taste like boiled cardboard. Try this one out on them. The ancho chiles give it a strong, memorable flavor – [...]
As you may have heard, Southern chicken purveyor Chick-Fil-A is breaking ground in the Chicagoland area. Fried food fans from the Gold Coast to Naperville are quaking in their arteries in anticipation. Chick-Fil-A ruins KFC’s shit – it’s just better (cleaner, better food, better service, etc) – but why not try and recreate this classic [...]
Unless you’re at a Middle Ages themed restaurant with jousters, grilling is the only time where it’s okay to eat with your hands. Which is a shame – there’s just something about hamburger juice running down your hands and barbeque sauce on your cheeks. Who needs plates and utensils? Most of the time we [...]
Gluttony never looked so tender and juicy
Ah, Buffalo wings – beer makes you more delicious, and you make beer more refreshing. It’s a relationship so heartwarming that Jack and Diane seem like Hitler and Eva Braun by comparison.
Prior to all the hipsters proclaiming love for tripe, kidneys, and tongue, Buffalo wings were the original culinary [...]
