A big greasy hug for my Chicago bacon shizzerz!!!! They know what they are doing, and what they are doing is so wrong it’s right. OO! The ice cream and popperz and marshmallows and all that other stuff left me feeling kinda goofy the next morning, in a happy, stupid way.
Thank you big time to the home cooks of Chicago!!! Thank you Lincoln Hall! Thank you Cuisinart, Wusthof, Microplane and Anolon!
