Taqueria Monarca is a food truck found on the 2400 block of Holmes street in Kansas City, Missouri weekdays at lunchtime. They serve tacos, burritos, tostadas and other Mexican food with your choice of meats including steak, beef, pork, chicken, chorizo, tripe, and tongue. I have tied their tacos, which are very good, but I […]
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Norville tore into his pizza not quite savagely. People always told him growing up that eventually his metabolism would slow, that his freakish ability to consume and process copious amounts of food without weight gain would ebb, that his days of eating whatever he wanted without consequence […]
I love sauce. Not in the way that I love my wife or my country or donuts, but pretty close. Not all sauces, but quite a few of them. I only noticed it the last time we were at China Dragon, which ranks up there with wife and country and donuts. China Dragon has this amazing dumpling […]
So because America decided to be a nation of big fat fatties, I can’t get a soda at work. Back in 2009 my company cracked down on smokers, eliminating the last on-site outdoor smoking area, and relegating smokers to the bus stop across the street.

So, previously I mentioned that I had another cravings story, but I have been informed that I do not, under pain of…pain or something worse.
As I age and mature I find myself thinking about, for birthday and Christmas, fewer impractical extravagances (pirate hat, Tesla coil) and more practical needs (debt reduction, flatware). The side effect is that I am becoming boring. Before you no doubt object, remember that I have mentioned ‘flatware’ twice already. I used to be largely […]
I stopped at Mel’s Diner on 50 Highway on my way back from Rolla last week. Mel’s is a little steel building with a ketchup and mustard interior. Service was decent, despite the large party they had in the back. I ordered the Kosher Corn Beef sandwich. The sandwich was fine , but when you […]
Besides being uncomfortable to type, Big D’z Dawgz is a food vendor that can be found during the week on Holmes street between Children’s Mercy Hospital and UMKC Med School in Kansas City, Missouri. Due to an imposed hot dog and french fry diet earlier in my life, I didn’t eat hot dogs with any regularity […]
