Convention!
The editors head north to Obie's ribs in Waukegan for the first lunch with the Monz since the launch of the blog. And the editors proceded to stuff themselves silly with Obie's rib tip lunch special (two sides [C&J potatoes, which are mashed potatoes with cheese and speshal seasonings, and yams, plus cornbread). Monz had the actual ribs along with yams and corn. We were particularly impressed with the thick, zesty sauce -- of all the crappy bbq places we've been to that sell their sauce at the counter, these folks don't! The friendly staff talked us into desert (peach cobbler/chocolate pecan cobbler).
We will post pics from lovely Waukegan soon, but in the interim, all this food has us thinking we need to lose weight. A diet? Atkins? South Beach? Ornish? Cruise (3 hour)? Bread (the diet de jour?) No - Monz! Monz has a weight loss plan that during the late 80's we heard incessently, like a mantra. It's composed of a simple two steps:
1) Pump and Jump.
2) Pumping Takes Precedence. (This doesn't mean pumping is better than jumping, it means that Monz won't talk to you until he's done pumping and/or jumping).
