Hi Rachel – As an ex-pat Kama’aina I loved this post. It does capture the sense, and a bit of the soul, of what makes up what we call, “local gindz”. And even though the prices at Zippy’s has sky-rocketed, and (I’ve been told) quality has gone down….. there are still days I wish for a bowl of Chili and rice, or a Zip Pac, Fried Chicken, and on and on…… And that chili, from what I can figure, it’s Cincinnati style, isn’t it? Now how did that happen.

Thanks Rachel for the kind comments. I have managed to fracture and elbow, so my typing has not been up to speed in the last week.

I’ve got a couple of other “History of X dish” in the pipeline, then I will try to produce something more worthy, alone the lines that traditional British cooking was invented sometime during the 19th century, along with the middle class.

Nice story, Rachel.

Adam’s blog is incredible.

But I still think the best thing I’ve ever seen is that photo he once posted of a threatening lobster.
