Meat's meat, and man's gotta eat!

we all gotta eat. that's a given. eating involves more than just chewing and swallowing-- it's an experience that involves a lot of our senses. we like to keep going back to places we have been before, places that bring back good memories, good flavor and great people. some of the most vivid experiences and pictures i have are associated with eating. eating is an art form. it also puts us all on the same level-- and it's a more pleasant option than the universal leveler, by far....;)
that being said, i'd like to introduce you to some of my favorite folks, and in a way that makes me like them even more-- they are the most colorful and no-nonsense folks i know. they are also the most talented....some you might know, some you might not...and i'm gonna try to get them to share some their favorite places to eat and some of their finest recipes...wish me luck!
