Never Going Back
Although it was tasty, a "Taste Portion" of Robinson's Ribs was not worth the utter horror of being among the estimated 1,000,000 people who attended the Taste of Chicago last night. Waiting in line, my friend and I were body-checked by a sea of teenagers who enjoyed screaming obscentities to each other as they pushed through the crowd (side note: I'm glad to no longer be a bored teenager,especially during the summertime). I've rarely worried if I could hold my own in a large group of people. Until last night. On another front, fellow GB staffer Chris Brunn was right: the MVP of the Taste was Soul Vegetarian East, with its vegan BBQ twists (nicely seasoned seitan) and sweet potato pie.Other winners were breaded meat and eggplant sandwiches from Ricobene's and pistachio gelato from Canady Le Chocolatier.

To enable the reuse of cooking oil with the risk of cross contamination of flavours, cut a 1/4 sized piece of ginger and fry in the oil/grease and it removes any lingering odours/flavours. Use more ginger for larger quantities of oil.
