I ordered mine online (relatively expensive...won't do it again) before I found out that Lonnie's would sell it to you. BTW, I've looked ALL over and can't find poppy seed rolls.

I got some at Lonnie's about a year ago. They just wanted a few days notice so they could keep their inventory in check.

I found the online site...wowzers! We are going to Chicago in a few weeks to the Shedds so I may just stop by the factory and get it there. I can get poppy seed buns up here without issue, but only know of one place in town that does a real Chicago style dog and they do it well! Just the 45 minute drive and $20 in gas that gets me!

We are about to do our first butt of the season tomorrow :) Also, we have a cafe coming in that does nothing but sausages. All fresh, handmade in store. Have to say, Detroit may suck at a lot of food but they can do some fantastic sausages so I'm hoping this place is up to par!

My lovely Rebecca prepared an AWESOME homemade Lasagna using non-local ground beef, Italian sausage from a non-heritage breed pig and Kraft in-a-zip-lock-bag Mozzarella. We washed it down with some tasty but cheap Jacobs Creek Merlot (her) and a couple of bottles of really-really yummy Sierra Nevada Hoptimum Craft Beer (him)

Damn. It's gonna be tough...real tough to top Risotto...and Lima Beans...But I'll try. How about Cherry-wood smoked pulled pork and Baby Back Ribs with Five-bean Baked Beans, Broccoli Slaw -and- Classic Slaw, Smashed Cauliflower (recipe from Tupelo Honey's)...oh yeah and Pasta Salad. Washed down with 3 or 4 pints of Great Lakes Burning River.

Eggplant "steaks," pan-seared and oven-finished, with a mushroom and onion sauce. Goes great with Saint-Laurent 2010 Chinon La Vigne en Véron.

Robin, with all the vegetarian items you make I was wondering if you'd ever done much with fresh beets? Also what about beet greens? I picked up some beautiful yellows and purples over the weekend and planned on roasting them. I had no idea you could also eat the greens, are they good?

Steve P... Tupelo Honey Cafe is opening a location in downtown Knoxville this summer...a little closer drive.

Madeline, I had the Inverno salad at Volare last week, and it's made with baby beet greens along with a few thin slices of fresh cooked beet and some grilled peppers and goat cheese ... it was really awesome with some kind of honey-balsamic vinaigrette. I haven't done a lot of beet cooking, but I like to roast 'em, which concentrates the flavor more than simmering. Mary is the greens queen, I wasn't brought up with 'em. but I'll ask her about beet greens. I know they're edible, and I think they're more tender like spinach than tough like collards or kale.

Here's a picture ... not a great one, it was dark, so the flash went off, which made the colors kind of harsh, but it gives the general idea. The salad was plated "deconstructed," as you can see, but I mixed it all together before I ate it. 8)

You can't find -real- Bratwurst very far south of Chicago...This little homemade Brat-Burger comes pretty damn close. Two pounds of a 50/50 mix of ground pork and ground veal, three tablespoons of Penzy's Bratwurst seasoning, an extra "pinch" of nutmeg, ginger and white pepper on each burger and away ya go...Served here on a Multi-Grain Cibatta Roll with whole grain mustard, sauerkraut and homemade Beer Cheese...and homemade German Baked Potato Salad w/ Pancetta and some homemade Cole Slaw...Oh and "paired" with a frosty Great Lakes Burning River.
