Chefs leaving KCMO for KCKS
I'm not trying to be a dick, but just look at a map. Iowa's largest metro is an hour closer to KC than it is to anywhere else with pro sports. I live up on the Minnesota border, and not far from Wisconsin either. Vikes and Pack are basically tied for local favorite team, with Bears and Chiefs tied for 2nd. If you get closer to Chicago, you see more Bears, and closer to KC you see more Chiefs. The recent success has lead to a lot of young kids statewide being Chiefs fans. When I was growing up they were #4 in my school, despite being closer than the Green Bay or Chicago.

Getting rid of Arrowhead (and Soldier Field for that matter) for some indoor stadium where they can have boat shows in January sucks.

Top 10 2025
It reminds me of someone that I absolutely cannot place. I've watched some clips of them live, and it just intrigues what they're doing. Nothing about it should work, but it definitely does. For me.

Viagra Boys are great. I didn't get super into this record. Need to give it a few more times. One of my buddies turned me onto them, and if we're hanging out it's not uncommon for someone to puncture a moment of silence with "WEINER DOGS".

Top 10 2025
1. "Price of Admission" Turnpike Troubadours. Some of their finest songwriting to date. My favorite band of my generation just keeps slaying. 2. "Bleeds" Wednesday. I love everything about this band/extended scene. "Pick Up That Knife" is my song of the year. 3. "Big Ugly" Fust. Part of the Asheville scene as well. One of the most straight up "alt country" albums in a minute. 4. "Snocaps" Snocaps. Basically a Waxahatchee record. Which is awesome for me. 5. "Getting Killed" Geese. A fucked up train wreck with inexplicable hooks. Like the best indie stuff of the past few years, I feel like it's chasing Ditch-era Neil Young. In particular "Vampire Blues". 6. "Black Dog & The Wandering Boy" James McMurtry. Took me awhile to accept this wasn't quite Horses & the Hounds level, but there are some incredible songs here. 7. "Little Crosses" Joe Stamm Band. These dudes just keep doing excellent heartland rock. 8. "Bad Reputation" Lance Roark. Turnpike's understudy with a batch of impossibly catchy, well, heartland rock. 9. "Corn Queen" Hailey Whitters. Stupid catchy country that's just polished enough to get radio play, but the songwriting is so far beyond anything else on the radio. She writes about the rural Midwest as well as anyone. 10. "Snipe Hunter" Tyler Childers. I don't think it's his masterpiece, but it is undeniably the most fun record he's ever put out. If you can't jam "Eatin' Big Time" or "Bitin' List", we can't be friends.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
I'd believe every one north of OK State. UH at 81% is some serious fucking comedy though.

Shameful guilty pleasures
I can't stand Creed and Hoobastank at all in any kind of setting. But Buckcherry was way more directly influenced by the Stones, Guns N Roses, etc. They were all about sex, drugs, and rock and roll and not thinking you were God.

Donated it to the local food bank. Also, you say it like there was another beer option available.

Smoke time- Soup, Stew, Chili, Gumbo (Cold weather eats)
I judged a chili competition for our local snowmobile festival a couple years back, and that was interesting. Some of the best chili I’ve ever had (one used harissa - seriously) and then there was a guy who dumped hamburger into a pot of boiled whole tomatoes. Just beyond disgusting- Soup, Stew, Chili, Gumbo (Cold weather eats)
Ground venison, beef stew meat browned in the Dutch oven. Sautéed japs, habaneros, poblanos, Carmens, shallots, 2 yellow onions, and a head of garlic. Can of Hamm’s. Quart of canned tomato puree with chili powder and cumin. Simmering on the stove until noon, resting in the fridge overnight, and hitting the smoker at 5AM before going into local watering hole’s chili cook off- Hey Steel Shank!
I’ve had them, but they were called grinders. Big deal in the south Des Moines Italian community. Gotta use Graziano Brothers sausage- Hey Steel Shank!

Cake Walk. Pecan and coconut BA stout. Pulpit Rock, Decorah IA. Not my usual, but this rips- Ski Season 2025/2026
XC in December is a rare commodity these days around here I think you’d have skied it all in a couple days.- Hey Steel Shank!
The rest of the thread: “Fucking Midwesterners”- Ski Season 2025/2026
A buddy of mine has done Monarch and kinda raves about. Cheaper, great snow, smaller crowds. Downside is less than world class terrain. But he’s (like me) an easily impressed flatlander- Hey Steel Shank!
I'd smash those gizzards. Tonight we have our annual HoliRide. A buddy hosts a big potluck in his massive heated garage, and we drink beer and ride pedal bikes around town to look at the Christmas displays. Point of interest for @Kennythetigeris that my wife has prepared her Dorothy Lynch taco dip. Will post pics tonight, but damn I can't wait for that.- Ski Season 2025/2026
I like Salida/Buena Vista quite a bit. Never been in winter. - Soup, Stew, Chili, Gumbo (Cold weather eats)
