I Kid You Not.


For dinner tonight, People, I had:

1 McDonald's Filet O'Fish sandwich

Large Fries

2 glasses Alto Moncayo Garnacha



Now, that may not seem so strange at first glance. Red wine with fish? Not everyone's first choice, but not unheard of, either.

But... a $50 BOTTLE OF 93-pt. GRENACHE... with McDONALDS?!?!?! That, my friends... THAT is gutsy, I don't mind telling you.

I stand before you, the proud coordinator of this meal.

Eat your heart out, Food Network.

Attacking your blog via 'Matt's'. Now if you are looking for some great food, check out what's new at the MN State Fair this year. How can you pass this up? Sorry it is so long. Wonder how the Pig Lickers would go with that bottle of wine. :-)

Wondering what's on the menu at this year's Minnesota State Fair? Food officials are introducing Pig Lickers, Pickle Pops and Big Fat Bacon.

There was some hesitation about allowing something called Pig Lickers to be sold at the fair. But Charlie Torgerson, who co-owns several Famous Dave's Franchises, says the chocolate-covered bacon decorated with some sea salt is the best meat out there.

If you want the bacon but not the chocolate, you might try the Big Fat Bacon. It's one-third pound of bacon, fried and caramelized with maple syrup. It's served on a stick.

And a Pickle Pop? It's simply pickle juice frozen in a push-up sleeve. Fair vendor Preferred Pickle came up with the idea after years of serving deep-fried pickles on a stick.

The Minnesota State Fair runs August 21 to September 1.

So you paired the 93 point grenache with a filet-o-fish? WTF do you pair with your steaks? :)

Inviting myself to dinner at your house soon,
