If you don’t eat meat, you might want to skip this one.
Over the past week, my coworkers and I made four treks to BBQ Dave’s for lunch. We ate a lot of meat, so much that I didn’t need much dinner. It would have been five days, but the rain started up on Friday. Dave’s [...]

No thanks to the search engines, it’s clear that I use the word “behold” frequently. So this time, I won’t.
Here it is, then.

Gourmet Shish Kebab is a quiet, unassuming place in Laurel, Maryland that serves up some outstanding food.

I don’t eat a lot of fast food, but occasionally I get some freebie coupons in the mail. I like to take advantage of these things, just to try things out when they’re free. That way if I’m stuck eating fast food due to travel or at the airport, I’ll know what I should or [...]
