Souped Up Ramen
Apologies for the long delay since my last post. I haven’t totally figured out how to keep on blogging while traveling for research, but I’m shooting to post at least once each week from here on out. Y’all may have to put up with some Texas cuisine commentary though….
Yes, I am writing about Top Ramen. I know it should be somewhat embarrassing that I still like to eat...

Wait Family "Egg Dish" - A "Waittata?"
Apologies for the delays since the last post. Getting back to work at the day job took a little getting used to. Anyway, we’re back up and running here at Beyond Bacon…

The South in Yellow and Brown
I know it’s not terribly PC to use the words “yellow” and “brown” when referring to people rather than colors, but some readers will, I hope, get the joke. Hopefully this title (which Courtney frowns upon) will be better understood by the end of this inaugural post. Some readers may know that one of my schticks about the South, both past and present, contends that...
