Editor’s Note: This recipe ran on June 25, 2014 on DrinkingCraft.com. When you’re looking for comfort food, you don’t usually need to look much further than a helping of Welsh Rarebit. For those of you unfamiliar, it’s simply a delicious beer-cheese sauce over a piece of toast. It’s warm and hearty and makes you feel happy…
Editor’s Note: Below is the column as it appeared on DrinkingCraft.com. Attention apartment dwellers, busy people and lovers of pork! With warm weather typically comes grilling. But marinating meat and cooking it over a flame, carefully watching and attentively prodding it isn’t always feasible. For those moments, you need a recipe for a nice and easy…
I decided that we all slack off a little too much. Want dinner? Sure. What do you want? Oh, I don’t know, I was thinking about throwing these sausages on the grill. Bullshit! You got an onion? You got some beer? Of course you fucking do. So why not do a whole hell of a…
There are some stories that are just infamous in every family. The time gramma read your love letters, the time mom walked through the screen door and, for me, the time my husband told me my stuffed peppers weren’t how his mom used to make them. (I’m sure it’s payback for the years of razzing…
In Ohio, we call them subs. In Philly, we call them hoagies. You can argue that there are subtle differences, but overall, they are the same thing. What you can’t argue is how much it sucks that they are primarily a lunch-food item. No more, my friends. I whipped up a solid, hearty breakfast hoagie…
Ohio and hot dogs sort of go hand-in-hand for me. I went to Ohio University and there was this great little restaurant called O’Betty’s. They had the most fun hot dogs with the best fries. It was always my favorite drunk food choice and the place I’d take visiting friends. (They even have a hot…

Life is busy as shit. I know I’m not the only one. I can barely keep up and I don’t have things like kids or a yard. That’s how I know that you guys are all just like me (or worse). You have “your shows” and you don’t watch them. No matter how much you…
I’m from Ohio. When I moved to Philly seven years ago, the words “What the hell is scrapple!?” fell out of my mouth, quickly followed by an “ew, are you kidding me!?” I fancy myself pretty open-minded about food, but a pork leftover mash-up loaf just didn’t sound appealing to me. Over the years, I…
John Hughes. Genius voice of a generation. (Not Kanye.) He made two of the most quintessential holiday movies of our annual repertoire. Planes, Trains and Automobiles for Thanksgiving and Home Alone for Christmas. I watch them every year, and chances are, you do too. I’ve already put in Planes, Trains and Automobiles this year. And…
If you’ve looked through Bacon & Legs, you’ll have noticed that one of the things I love doing is making grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a special place in my heart, right there in that one artery, clogging it up. And I never want to stop making them. But you can’t just make the same…
