The last time I professed a passionate, deep abiding love like this, a friend said (paraphrasing): “Damn it, Gary. I was so excited for you and then I kept reading and you’re talking about some stupid bbq joint.” First of all, Famous Dave’s is not some stupid bbq joint.

Inside: Gratitude beyond words; So lots of words; I’m about to geek the heck out on you. You’ve been warned; Life after people The short version for people with better things to do with their time After much research and comparison, I’ve decided that the best thing to do for the subjects I am passionate…
