Congrats on making the cover! That's fantastic.

The raw oyster, not so much.

Happy V-Day to you both!

I dunno I think I’d have lightly sautéed those oysters first? I love raw oysters but um…ew, I have that funny taste in my mouth now. I think they’re as boner producing sautéed as they would be raw. And the taco seasoning might’ve had a chance then. Okra aside, it might’ve been another VDay BonAppetit cover heh heh. But gross is fun. And let’s face it that IS where the party is. Happy boning you two!!! 🤭❤️❤️

“Big Hot Dog” is run by Vienna, other manufacturers need not apply…

#1 one of the funniest things I've read all year

#2 thanks for ruining my appetite for both romance AND food. At least you have taco bell and self manipulation to look forward to.

This is the first time food writing has ever shocked me. Refreshing, original, and grim! Have subscribed. 👍🏻

This was a funny story Dennis, you are braver than I am with the oysters, I think I gagged when you talked about the raw oyster slipping out. Enjoyed it.

Getting strung out on a Chicago sidewalk, and killing the mood, who says artists don't suffer for their work any more.
