You might think you’ve had a rough time this cold and flu season, but one run through my roster of physical ailments—chronic ones, mind you, not seasonal—ought to make you feel better (in mind and spirit, if not body).

I’m not a guy who can easily mask his feelings, and I guess I more or less telegraphed where I’m coming from in that headline up there: along with virtually every one of my Rake colleagues, most of whom I don’t personally know, I have a beef with Andrew Zimmern. And, yes, I know I said up there that I had a bone to pick, but since the topic at hand is food I feel excused in mixing my metaphors, if in fact that’s what I’m doing, or did.
