Johnnie’s Pit Beef Pop-Up at Taurus

I was lucky enough to be one of the first folks to try out a few of the Johnnie’s Pit Beef sandwiches.

Chef Phil Bryant and Chef Veronica Valdivia invited me over to their home for dinner when they were starting to put together what would ultimately become The Original and Beef N’ Cheddar sammies from the menu.

Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken – Ft. Wayne, Indiana

I was familiar with Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken and its history but I had never driven past one on any of my travels.

My wife Marcela was driving and I went into unbearable child mode to let her know that we needed to pull in and eat some fried chicken.
