maryville is where pretty much everyone goes to die a miserable death.

a good football team isn't enough to make anyone enjoy that s**t hole of a town. and yes, i did spend several years there.

Bacon cheeseburgers and fries from a place here in town called Ronnie D's. They have the best fries and the burgers are great.

Been almost three years since I've had one. :(

Chinese food.

Do they not have Chinese food in Springfield anymore?

There's a place up off of James River... can't remember the cross street, but IIRC it's across from Zio's that's really good.

Mr Yen's, and that place is freakin' expensive. Yes, Springfield still has plenty of Chienese food restaurants. It's just not something I eat everyday. Every few months, I get a craving for it, so I'll get take-out from Chinese Chef.

I crave the Anthony Joes Select Chicago Style Pizza from Tarantino's here in KC, as well as the chicken fried chicken from McCoy's, and a cheese burger from the Flea Market.

It's been a LONG time since I was there... just after they opened, so probably back in 98 or 99. I remember it being a little pricey, but very good.

Here is a good recipe for Bulgogi Marinade

1/2 cup garlic chopped
2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup chinese black vinegar(balsamic will work fine)
1 cup sugar
2 apples or pears skinned and seeded
1/2 cup sesame oil
2 bunches green onions smashed and chopped fine

put the first six ingredients in a blender and puree
the add green onion and pulse 1-2 times

Pure marinade over thinly slice Ribeye and marinade for one hour
It is best grilled it can be stir fried

For Bul Kalbi use Beef Short Ribs (butterflied) and Marinate 4 hours.

Have you tried the Shatto Farms Butter and Ice Cream

Ang

I've been craving some Jessica Alba Pink Taco for awhile now.

Lately I've been craving garlic stuffed olives and jalapeno stuffed olives.

Yes. The butter is great, but it's price point makes it more a of a special occasion type of treat. I just ate a pint each of the vanilla and chocolate ice creams last weekend. Unfortunately, they aren't worth the $3.59 per pint that I paid for them (at Hy-Vee in Liberty). Whereas with their milk, you can definitely tell the huge difference between Shatto and plastic-container A&E type stuff, the Shatto ice cream is kind of "just ice cream." It's good ice cream, but not mind-blowingly good like their milk is.

I would concur on the Ice cream and yes the butter is fantastic.
I use the butter to finish sauce's, just a small amount will make almost any sauce better.

Where can I get one of those?

absolutely....
