I had a serious hankering for ribs for some time. Things reached a head when I came home to see two clear plastic containers filled with baby-back ribs that Brad had as leftovers. So when Matt texted me and suggested getting some BBQ, I started pre-loosening the belt buckle to…
Loyal FDC readers I have a confession, it’s been a long LONG time since I’ve eaten at T-Bell, we’re talking years, the last time I indulged in its glory was at the release of the Doritos Locos taco! Needless to say, I won’t make the mistake of waiting that long ever again. What…
Ultimate redemption. That’s what was on the line for Little Caesars after the fiasco that was the pretzel pizza. Although there are already some amazing reviews out there, when Little Caesars announced they were releasing a bacon-wrapped deep dish pizza, the whole FDC crew was very excited because there was…

On the morn of FDC #8 (we’ll catch up eventually, I swear), I decided to balance out the fancy meal this evening at 112 Eatery by sampling Taco Bell’s new breakfast menu. Right off the bat, points for being open for breakfast until 11am, because I was still in bed…
I ended up eating lots of fancy meals with the various members of my duplex this month to pre-game for FDC #6 on Tuesday. Some of the highlights: Bar La Grassa: Tied for most decadent things I’ve ever eaten are a lobster and scrambled egg bruschetta, and a cauliflower and…
