Save your pickle juice…

Well, not indefinitely but it’s you’ve ever stopped at one of the Kiwanis chicken stands on the way to Rehoboth you’d know exactly what I’m talking about.  Hands down my favorite BBQ chicken on the east coast.  Once, in 2006, it even managed to convert a vegetarian.  For $6 or $7 you get half a roasted bird, a couple pickles (bread and butter), chips and a bun.  Secret to the bird?  They brine/soak/marinate the whole chickens in left-over pickle juice over night before their salted, peppered, and slow roasted over the grill.  TRY THIS AT HOME.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
