She's always been chesty (you weren't paying attention), and she has
recently had a baby, I believe.

There was a chilli dog place in Chicago metro north. Went there. It
sucked. There was a gyros place in Chicago metro south. Went there.
There was a for sale sign at the front door. The quality of the food
was low enough it definitely needed a new owner.

On the other hand also in Chicago metro we tried Tre Kroner and Honkey
Tonk BBQ. They ruled. I could write poems about the beef ribs at
Honkey Tonk BBQ they were so good.

A beef rib, it's prime rib, best wear a bib.
Mustard sauce, smokey sauce, tooth pick and floss.
Smell the smoke, let it soak, you won't go broke.

As poetry goes it's not prize winning, but when have I ever written a
poem about food before? ;^)

We go to Springfield, IL annually for the state Freemason convention.
Thanks for the pointers, will look up Charlie Parkers.

When it comes to the looks of the chefs in this thread I'm biased. Anne
Burell doesn't look like a 20 year younger version of my wife. Nope.
Wrong hair style. ;^) Just sayin ...

Good to know about the Chicago locations you like(d). If/when you dine
at Charlie Parkers, please give it a review here? It'd be nice to read
about your experience there

I have no clue if Charlie Parker's is or isn't a franchise. Their
website - http://www.charlieparkersdiner.net/ - doesn't seem to give
that appearance. The menu is interesting. What I thought was a
haystack is called a "breakfast shoe." Oh, Oh!! One thing I noticed
from their website - the restaurant is open daily only until 2pm!!

I like Anne Burell. I like the way she talks and I like the way she
cooks. Not fond of all the salt, but at least she's up-front about
why. It may be good for that occasional restaurant meal but not every
day. I blow up like a balloon when I have that much salt at every
meal.

I'm with you, I can't watch her, either. She has such an affected

How do you know it's affected? Is it the fact that she strikes all men as
a goddess? But of the green monster lurking behind that sideswipe? :-)

I assure you, it's not affected, it's upper class British, something you
are obviously in short acquaintance with. Her father was Chancellor of the
Exchequer (equiv., Minister of Finance) for the UK, she was educated at
Oxford. Should she behave like a chav just to please the easily
disgruntled? Of course not. She may not behave in exactly the same
fashion in private, but that is none of your bidness.

FWIW, I play wargames with a fellow who is a professor of classics at the
university here and he speaks with a full-on Oxford accent. It never
occurred to me that he was affected in any way. Perhaps I should ask him.
Can I give him your e-mail if he has any questions?

You'll be suprised N2, that a lot of (hetro) guys don't watch her for that
reason.

What, I touched your defensive nerve? Give me a break, I have a right

not. I never had a problem listening/watching any other Brit chefs -
I just don't like her mannerisms, I guess it is. So what?

She's not a goddess to me. I find her very annoying and phony. When
she did the morning talk show she was nauseating. You'd think she was
the only chick who ever got pregnant. And her head it too big for her
body. I'll take my pudgy middle-aged girl-next-door over your goddess
any day.

Sounds like cattiness to me. She's good at doing what she does and you
don't like her for it.

Doing what she does so well means making middle aged men feel like
they can get a piece of her *ss if they wish enough for it?

Big biddy deal!!

She may have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth (and it looks like
she kept it constantly full!!) ....... but that is neither here nor there.
I got bored of her pretty quick because of the filming technique she uses,
and the crap food she cooks.

I used to be an (Military) instructor at the University of Queensland,
trying to teach highly educated university students how to be soldiers.

Notice I said "trying".

I've noticed one thing about 'university people'..... they may be highly
intelligent', but in the real world they are as dumb as dogshit.

Most wouldn't have 1oz of common sense between them.

Case in point........ our Prime Minister.

I've spent many hours in his office talking over certain issues (usually
concerning ex-service personnel) and whilst he can speak Mandarin and
sound rather educated, he's as dumb as dogshit.


Now, go back to playing with your toy soldiers.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "ideal" beauty....... I find a lot of women
very attractive, and they aren't usually the ones in a glossy mag.

I like real, I don't like fake.

I also used to go past a paddock with a large pond in it, that horse used to
drink at. Usually went past close to sunset, and I had some *stunning* pics
from there....... they're probably still floating around the Net somewhere. I
used to wait (up to 45mins) for the light to be just *so* and then snap off
about 3-4 shots. And then continue on my way to pick up an irate SO because I
was late :-)

It isn't anything like that, I assure you. There is no hint of sex per se
in her approach. Hell, she doesn't even do cleavage (at least on the
cooking show), unlike Giada, not that there is anything wrong with that.
No, it's more like a pleasant half-hour with someone who is sensuous about
what she does in front of the camera, cooking. And she obviously does it
well enough that the ratio of women to men who dislike her on this group is
around 10:1 (that 1 is Lou).

When I say she is the goddess, I am of course referring to her callypigian
proportion or, as Precious Ramotswe said, "a woman of traditional
proportion" which got her into trouble as I recall.

Somehow, I doubt that. The very beginning of your statement implies that
you are predisposed, and heavily biased, AGAINST people with a university
background which of course is a contribution to society, not its entire
makeup, much as the military are a contribution to society, not its entire
makeup, or business is a contribution to society, not its entire
makeup...see where I'm going here?

Yep. I traced the thread back and found where I got mixed up. My
fault. In either case I don't see this goddess thing.
