All grown up! love what you do, keep doin' it. and thanks for making me feel like I'm not alone in my obsession with all things edible/drinkable.
Meal Ticket, you're so grown up now! Congrats to Drew, Adam, Rachel and all Meal Ticket readers! We are fatter and happier because of you :) PS Delicious or Suspicious is one of my personal faves.
I remember back when I used to have to wait until Thursdays to read the CP food section... Feeding Frenzy was so "up to the minute." News cycle timing sure has changed in two years. I remember the launch & being impressed by the logo. Now I can say I'm impressed by the blog itself. Congrats!! & thanks.
Congrats and Happy Birthday... you are a must read everyday and thank you for breaking the monotony of the everyday... more cooking segments with Adam would be great.
Congrats. How time flies.
my suggestion for meal ticket: less food, more pictures of adorable puppies.
