Battle for Mexico circa 3 days ago Since neither of these work any longer lets stick with a classic: Are you ready for some football! A Monday night Party! We got Joe and Jason and Booger? Meh at least it should be a great football game. Chiefs vrs Rams After a week hiatus because of horrible games, the Tiz is back with the Game of the Week. A couple of years ago this game would have been a battle of bbq’s in Missouri and a finger licking good time. But since the Rams picked up and left lonely St. Louis footballess again, my plan was to make it a Mexican Monday since the game was being played in Mexico City. Unfortunately it looks like Trump’s caravan have appeared running around on the field for the last week in the pouring rain in hopes to score points with Trump in his feud with the NFL. Thus, the game has  been moved to LA. The current home of the deadliest wildfire in California history. Almost seems like …

Geaux Tigers!! vs Roll Tide!! Mike the Tiger vs Big Al Red Stick  vs Red Mud Cajun Country vs the Heart of Dixie Ed Orgeron vs Nick Saban The Battle for the South The South, where only food, family and church reign supreme over college football and hunting. To outsiders, the South is a mystery but to stereotype the South as one entity is a crime to humanity and culture altogether. While the South has had it problems like every other place on earth, the diverse cultures throughout the region make the South a beautiful bastion of the American melting pot. This game and tailgate is going to be amazing and I wish I had the funds to be there but since I do not below are some recipes (for this version of my blog I am just going to hyperlink to my favorite recipes to use) for you to cook up and get ready for this battle for the SEC West. Thank you to my friend Kat for help on these menus, she grew …

Philly vs Jacksonville Prince Harry vs The Bloke Loser goes home. Cherio! My bloody Americans it’s time to cross the poooonnnd to watch a match of American football. Or if you are like me turn on the telly early with some of the following recipes and drinks, sit back and see who can come out with the result. I am Philly through and through so beware this blog may be a little biased. Philly is a gritty historical city with my favorite food scene for the buck in the country. The scene was built in spite of government incompetence allowing for young chef’s to open BYOB’s and new restaurants with cheap rent. If you are a little too hungover to cook on Sunday I would suggest ordering a Sicilian style pizza from Sarcones or a sandwich from Paesano’s. Jacksonville, I have never been to, I know most Philadelphians that went to the Super Bowl there thought it was a dump. But I have heard since that time it has started to make a comeback and …

Boston VS LA East VS West Blue Collar VS Hollywood Glam Fenway Frank VS Dodger Dog This post will solve none of those battles, but will fill you with gluttoness enjoyment while watching America’s favorite pastime Boston Menu                       LA Menu             Fusion Menu New England Clam Chowda                French Dip Bao Buns            Chorizo and Clams Lobster Roll                                           Korean Short Rib Tacos        Lobster Kimchi Fried Rice Boston and LA are two cities that have had the pleasure of being taken by Tizzle. Both cities I thoroughly enjoyed eating, drinking and rampaging through. Two totally different awesome American enclaves. And that’s what will make this series great to watch even though I have no dog in the fight. I hate Boston fans because they are arrogant and to be …

The feast of the seven fishes is an Catholic Italian-American tradition that goes back generations. Although as a Catholic Italian-American growing up my family never partook  in this tradition, but I knew of many families that did. This may have been because growing up we spent Christmas Eve on my Dad’s side of the family and celebrated Wigilia (I will have to do a Wigilia post in the future), which let me tell you fitting 60 polish people in a row house in Chester is a hell of loud and crazy time and Christmas Day with my Mom’s side, the Italian side. For a deep dive into the seven fishes celebration in Philly you will find a great piece by Danya Henninger of Billy Penn here. This year I decided to check out the feast of seven fishes for the first time, I could only go on the 23rd though since I had family parties on Christmas Eve, so I headed down to my favorite Roman style restaurant Amis.  I ended up getting a seat …

I have never ran a marathon and I never plan on running a marathon, I just don’t get how running is fun. To tell you the truth I look at people that run marathons the same way they look at me, crazy. But after La Panarda, I do understand the strategy that has to be used to finish a marathon. 40 courses, almost half served family style and 9 variety of wines that conservatively I will say I had about 2 glasses of each. This marathon is unlike any other though, if you can imagine with me for a second running 16 miles on a flat surface and then the rest of the way dealing with an uphill climb to finish, that is how the pasta and meat courses at the end of this awesome extravaganza feel. So I don’t bore you I will describe only the dishes that were can’t miss in my opinion and that is still too many and the others were right behind. It was a beautiful fall day for a …

Scratch Biscuits is not the place you go to impress a date about the great brunch options in Philadelphia. I am not writing this to diminish the restaurant because the food is really good, I just want to inform you that the service and interior is basically like a Chipolte, so if you are looking for a quick bite to eat on a weekday or even a weekend looking to get over a hangover and complete the schedule you have planned for the rest of the day this is a good place to go. I ordered a large coffee, which they get from Rival Brothers and I got the build your own biscuit option which I built with eggs, homemade scrapple, garlicky kale and pimento cheese. I also wanted to get the decimated yam fries that are smothered in pimento cheese, crispy bacon and chow chow but unfortunately their fryer was down. The coffee was good but limited in choices and you have to serve it yourself.  The biscuit was delicious, flaky and buttery tasting, …
