You know.... Many people said, when Frank Perdue went into business that it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken...
But way before Perdue, who probably never laced em up, came along, a certain very tough hombre had a restaurant where the steaks were as tender as butter!
You just reminded me of the Mike Myers SNL sketch Coffee Talk "Like Butter".
- -Any ex fighter down on his luck could get a free steak dinner gratis at Jack's.
Grew up on the gulf coast where the ol' man would go down to the fish market in the afternoon for the days catch, usually Ling for a fry or shrimp for a basting and broil.
These were trusty, local hardscrabble types, thus I refuse to buy fish being an inlander now knowing the terrible industrialized environmental costs that result in the terrible toxicity of modern fish.
My ol'man and my Popeye spoiled me with T-bones, thus fixing my own bacon wrapped filets over a grill of oak, pecan mainly, but also peach and mesquite when the mood strikes.
Overall, not a big meat eater as much as an enjoyer. Bean and cheese tacos with cheese and my own picante sauce or my own pizza just as agreeable.
Interesting to watch. Dempsey had a colorful journey. Reminds me that I have an old picture of Dempsey in his reserve uniform with my grandfather standing in the street. As a long time fan it is cool to have.
