We are on our way to the Meeting of the Minds.
My yearly trek to key west for the Parrothead event has become a tradition. Friday, November 1, headlining the festivities at the Casa Marina. Saturday afternoon, I have been invited to join in with the Coral Reefers for an unplugged set. I always look forward to connecting with familiar faces. For some, it will be our only meeting for another year. Down home, good fun. Gonna be off the chain. Phlocking crazy.
Bill “Sauce Boss” Wharton brings his high energy, gumbo stirring, swamp funk to Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa on Friday November 8th. Florida born bluesman/chef Wharton rolls in from a summer of touring the Midwest, Northeast, and Canada. For those who don’t know about the Sauce Boss, he brings his own hot sauce to the gig, and he cooks gumbo while smoking his slide guitar. At the end of the Show, everyone gets a bowl. Now he adds some new flavors to the “stew”. Sauce Boss not only plays slide, sings his tamales off, makes gumbo, and feeds everybody… he will also be playing a drum kit with his feet. “You take that 53 Telecaster, pump it through that 48 Fender amp, add a bass rig, mix in some drums, all simmered down over some funky swamp blues, and smothered with gumbo, and you got a recipe for the largest one-man band on the planet.”
NEW BATCH OF T-SHIRTS AT THE SAUCE BOSS STORE!!!!!
Getting dangerously close to the holiday season. Might need to also re-up yer Liquid Summer stash for stuffing yer stockings. I know that Aunt Edna is dying to get the “Live at the Green Parrot” CD. All that and more at the Sauce Boss Store.
Mango With Basil, and Cinnamon
Perfectly ripe mango, gobs of fresh picked basil, and a dusting of that Vietnamese cinnamon…incredible.
Hard to go wrong if you are a foodie in Toronto.
Walking down the street, the sights, the smells, the magical seduction of the gratification, “Come on in, I’ll show yer tummy a goood time.” The whole process is extremely accessible in this town. The prices are good, and the quality is up. If you know what you’re doin, you’ll score big time. I remember, back when I was a glutton, I got two lobsters, cooked to perfection, for $16 in Chinatown. On this trip to Canada, I was primed and ready to find some authentic ethnic cuisine. So as I sauntered past the Kim Chi Korea House, I was struck by authentic look of the food. This time I found what I was looking for. Kim Chi Korea House is not down home. An efficient staff delivers the real deal to the table. Excellent service, reasonable price, and very good quality makes this place hop. I had to have the Kim Chi Stew in a stone hot pot. I was not disappointed.
