On the other hand, I can walk into virtually any kitchen and, if it has a few basics, I can whip up a meal that will make you think Mom stopped by. I can do steak houses better for a third of the cost. And I think my barbecue has, literally, a coast-to-coast reputation.

So, have your little contest. Coltrane and I will be happy to sit on the sidelines, washing down my brisket and red beans and rice with a few cold ones.

But thanks for playing.

good thing you don't do litigation. first rule is, once you know who your judge is, you don't give em shit.
