We’ve made it to the end of another week and so we’ll do a quick riff on food. Of course it leads to something business-related but you’re used to that by now, right?
I love the “Eat This Not That” books. I also get their daily news blast and today’s was kind of fun. It’s all about the worst chicken dishes in America.

In any event, I was in the car yesterday morning and it came on the radio. As I was singing along, the thought crossed my mind that the folks who want to be the man at the top should be careful what they’re asking for. Let me explain. Continue reading
