We’re also a little bougie, so we probably overspent for some good quality stuff. Read more

50 bucks for that much food for 10 people sounds ridiculously low. I’ve got 8 people for Thanksgiving this year and spent closer to $200. Now, that includes some vegan ingredients (vegan butter) and alcohol, but it also accounts for a crazy good deal on a ham (turkey just ain’t worth it) from Costco. I’m sure we could… Read more

As the Takeout’s occasional hot sauce scribe, I’d like to remind people that hot sauce is not made for eyes.  Read more

I’ll definitely look for this. A lot of people have suggested mixing with other things to make it less of a paste or to put it in soup (which I’ve tried and it’s delicious). I am excited to experiment more with it. Read more

I’m gonna pick that one up soon. Sounds delicious. Read more

I have not encountered it yet! As is apparent by the article, I’m just now wading into this amazing world of chili oils and pastes, but I will certainly keep an eye out for something like this! Read more

The shop I talk about in the piece has this! I will definitely grab it when I make stir-fry next!  Read more

Spaghetti sauce! That would be a great use for it. The heat was OK, but I didn’t love the taste. With other bigger tastes, like tomatoes and garlic, I could see it slotting in nicely in a recipe. Just too much on its own. Read more

I will definitely have to check for the spicy chili crisp! Read more

Oh man, in turnip greens? I never even thought of that. That’s happening at my house... soon. Read more

Well, sure, Huy Fong’s version isn’t made in Thailand, but it’s still a Thai recipe and I am still “meh” on it. Read more

One of my favorites! 2017's collaboration with Brauhaus Miltenberger was my favorite so far. This year’s is better the more you drink it. I was not impressed up front, compared to the previous incarnations, but I have grown to love this one as the season goes on.  Read more

He, uh, also had an affair with a teenager as a 45 year old. Even if it was “legal,” there’s no way a man that old should be dating a 17 year old. I’m not wigged out by age differences for the most part. But she was a teenager. Sure, his art is important but he is awful. Read more

I was just reveling in the availability of this stuff in Northwest Indiana. I’m a little further east and it’s rare here. Only place I can find it is a candy shop. Made a visit to Schoop’s and couldn’t not get it on draft. I lived in Chicago and don’t remember it there as much, but it seems omnipresent in… Read more

Yeah, I mean, this is the gold standard. I heard a (likely apocryphal, but also maybe not) story that someone was worried about the weather the day of the performance and asked him if he had any worries about the rain and his response was “Can you make it rain harder?” Read more

Ignore me. I see the fix now! Read more

“Significantly, the settlement also requires Kona to rework its packaging to better clarify that its beers are brewed in the U.S.” Read more

What a great list! I love Pilsner Urquell, 1554 and Boston Lager. I haven’t tried the Deschutes, Alaskan or Brouwerij Bosteels beers, and it’s been far too long since I’ve had Keller Pils. So this is massively helpful.

The best part about Boston Lager, too, is just how cheap it can get. I got a 12 pack sampler of Sam… Read more
