We'll be staying about 50-60 miles south in Amish country and likely can combine it with a game if the Browns play @ home either Sept. 29 or Oct. 6. As the time gets closer I'll want both directions to parking and to tailgate with you jackasses. Be nice to put some faces with the BS. Are the fall colors in full bloom by then? We'll definitely have to meet up, even if there isn't a game involved. Have car, will travel. I've met Cal and Canton Mike at a Tailgate. LOL, as to changing color, depends. As I asked Z whan I met up with him in Naples en route to the Miami game in October- When do the palm trees start changing color? 7 hours ago, TexasAg1969 said: I have to finish off a bottle of Cabernet before it turns into Cab vinegar. Staying home to watch with my football coach son. I always enjoy his ongoing details commentary, especially on the defensive side. He knows his defenses better than anyone here including me. He catches the small things that players do to either set them up for a great play or to turn them into a pumpkin later in the game. Especially great at catching DBs looking in the backfield or trying to jump a route that will later burn them with a double move. Ah, my good friend is hosting his traditional Super Bowl Party with a 65" widescreen, and unveiling his newly remodeled kitchen. It's the Soup-er Chili Bowl. I'm bringing a pot of some slow cooked French onion soup. The wines are 2015 Clio (host Bob is about the only person I know who doesn't love it), a 2013 Napa Cellars "V" cabernet (that I got at a massive discount, supposedly lists at $70, I got it for $25 bucks after rebate, bought cases of it. Tastes like a $70-100 cab), and a TBD old Bordeaux to keep host Bob happy. It's a mix of hardcore football fans like me and Bob, we'll try to console Minnesota Gene his Vikings didn't make it- and a bunch of wine aficionados that are just there to party and watch the commercials. & GO EAGLES!!! New England has won more than their share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(somehow I just never got hooked on pork on a stick, why I dunno) And why city chicken, sounds like roadkill or something, oh the wife IS an excellent cook and isn't reading this I hope. Oh wife did see this.......ahhhhh, she points out her city chicken is dipped in her homegrown herbs, breaded and roasted in the oven in beef broth and very good.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 My mother made the best city chicken when I was a young un. We lived on W.47th st. in Cleveland and there was a butcher about a block away. They used to buy all the meat from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a pork shish kabob on a wooden skewer, get good pork (true with most meat dishes), my wife grows her own fresh herbs in a big flower/evergreen bed behind the house about 12 to 14 different herbs, dries them herself, oh a plus most rabbits, etc. hate herbs and will not eat or cross the bed. Brown pork on all sides. Spray pork with olive oil, roll in herb mixture then roll in breading mix then put in oven for best results! They were really good and really juicy and tender.....never overcook or dry out pork! Ummmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the Olympics! Well an excuse to grill on Sunday today Porterhouse steaks, baked potatoes with the works, veggies TBD at grilling time and naturally Sam Adams Boston Lager......ummmmm.

Got to love those Olympics, GO USA! NASCAR puts me to sleep- haven't watched in years. Now as to your menu- very similar. We celebrated Mardi Gras a few days early- watching the Olympics together. Almost duplicated your menu. Prime Porterhouse on the grill, ditto the baked potatoes. Mushrooms and onion rings soaked in Pine Club beef gravy. Since the wifie has decided to temporarily switch from beer to wine. Opened a 1982 Chateau Leoville Poyferre. 98+ point wine, and I'm seriously tempted to give it a perfect 100 score. I won't open something that good (not replaceable at current prices) and be a pig about it without sharing it with someone. Sue was wondering why I was slurping it down- because it was that good. Finished with a 2009 Dow Late Bottled Vintage port with roquefort on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sober Poet Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Fun topic. Some good chow listed. We like to do a "feast on the blood of our enemies" process where we eat typical foods popular in our opponent's cities: Cincinnati chili for the Bengals, I like dogs, wife does pasta. Cabbage rolls or City Chicken for Pittsburgh. Pit Beef for Baltimore, no good crabs around SE Ohio. Something Cajun if we play New Orleans...you get the idea. Nice way to have Cincy Chili twice a year. Always match whatever we make with some Devil's Kettle brews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
