Great way to run the blind cook/test. $$ shot reveals an incredible cook. Nailed 'em both.
The winner was...Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
A photo finish. My general preference is dry, so I’ll lean that way, but almost begrudgingly. Wife calls a draw, kids (16 and 14) only had dry.lousubcap said:Great way to run the blind cook/test. $$ shot reveals an incredible cook. Nailed 'em both.

Ha ha. We have plenty of d!p$hits to keep it interesting around here these days but I do miss Mikey sometimes. Some people are here to stir the pot, others are stone cold a$$holes. Hard to say which one I enjoy more.SGH said:

The only thing I like more than ribs is fried chicken, and Gus' is the best. Any other answer and we're gonna fight!
