Dear Fellow Foodservice
Professional,
A well-attended International
Restaurant & Foodservice Show in New York left us with an upbeat feeling, as a
positive vibe oozed through the crowd. Folks there were
tired of cabin-fever. The camaraderie (of those of us who have survived
the downturn) permeated the throng. The new new-economy seems to be upon
us.

restaurants and chains have made Southern Pride the authority on the
barbecue business. Whether you need to replace an existing open pit or
start from scratch, Southern Pride has barbecue smokers to fit the space,
capacity and application requirements for your operation . . . from small
mom & pop stands to large chains, stationary applications to mobile
catering, from food processors to theme parks. The amazing thing about
their barbecue smokers is the simple, automatic operation. No guesswork.
No need for constant attention. Southern Pride wood burning BBQ pits and
smokers do it all ... automatically.

Book Review - "Ancient
Wine"
by Joe Ferri |
Ancient Wine
- The Search for the Origins on Viniculture reads as an intriguing
journey, guided by molecular biologist Patrick E. McGovern from the New
Stone Age to the dawn of Western Civilization. The author, while
pointing up the evidence of wine culture in pre-history, shares with
us both his field and gustatory experiences from around the globe.
Utilizing modern chemical analysis, linguistic evidence, and the entire
arsenal of investigatory sciences that have blossomed in the last decade,
the author allows us to accompany him on a adventure from wine’s beginnings in the Caucasus
in the East
through its spread West, North and South.

"There's a bad moon on the rise."
Bad Moon Rising, Creedence Clearwater
"Excuse me while I kiss this guy."
"Excuse me while I kiss the sky."
Purple Haze, Jimi Hendrix
"Dead ants are my friends; they're blowin' in the wind."
"The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind."
Blowin' In The Wind, Bob Dylan
"Midnight after you're wasted."
"Midnight at the oasis."
Midnight at the Oasis, Maria Muldaur
"The girl with colitis goes by."
"The girl with kaleidoscope eyes."
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, The Beatles
"She's got a chicken to ride."
"She's got a ticket to ride."
Ticket to Ride, The Beatles
"You and me and Leslie."
"You and me endlessly..."
Groovin', The Rascals
"Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble; tres bien ensemble."
"Sunday monkey won't play piano song, play piano song."
Michelle, The Beatles
"I'll be your xylophone waiting for you."
"I'll be beside the phone waiting for you."
Build Me Up Buttercup, The Foundations
"Are you going to starve an old friend?"
"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?"
Scarborough Fair, Simon and Garfunkel
"Baking carrot biscuits."
"Taking care of business."
Takin' Care Of Business, Bachman-Turner Overdrive
"Donuts make my brown eyes blue."
"Don't it make my brown eyes blue."
Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue, Crystal Gale
"Got a lot of lucky peanuts."
"Got a lot of love between us."
