Fat City started in July and since then, Charles Ferruzza, myself and company have written nearly 500 posts about various comings, goings, odd items and leftovers -- as we affectionately call the stuff we have no idea how to categorize -- dealing with Kansas City and food. Here are ten of my favorite Fat City posts from 2008:
Fat City's first day was July 7 and the next day was a root beer taste test to judge if the New York Times had erred.
Taste tests have become popular at Fat City, and a particularly fun one was matching Yellow Tail against other marsupial mascoted Australian wines.
Charles argued that cell phone usage should get someone kicked out of a restaurant but it turns out all it takes is acting like a snobby jerk.
An expert sommelier came to town and shared 10 kick-ass tips on picking a great bottle of wine with zero help from a liquor store's staff.
Charles found a Grandview diner that not only allows cigarette smoke but basks in it.
After 15 weeks of classes, I put the best information into ten pieces of advice about what culinary school really teaches you.
I heard Anthony Bourdain tell a crowd to never settle for boring food in a new town -- except that earlier, I'd heard him say he ate a cheeseburger in his hotel room while in Kansas City.
The most fun I had this year was writing the lyrical showstopper that was a rap to my rap snacks. -- Owen Morris
