I wish this would be true but past experience REPEATEDLY tells us "law enforcement" will always get a pass, especially when their crimes are against brown people.

Layer 2 doesn't quite fill the dish even though I made extra filling! If I had used the full cabbage, 1lb beef, and 1c rice, I think it would have been perfect.

The book says to pound the thick part of the leaf flat but on the Savoy it rolls up just fine.

Sauce is Trapanese pesto, chili & yogurt.

Cabbage rolls topped with an orange sauce.

I'm sorry, but if you want a restaurant that gives you drama, then you should head on down to Foley, Alabama, and go to Lambert's to get rolls thrown at you (if they still do that).

At least *that* "drama" is edible.

This 'The Bear'-esque dining experience puts you in the center of the kitchen chaos

At Speakeasy Society's 'Family Meal,' curse words are thrown, recipes are slandered and it all makes for fun, irresistible drama.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

India has a festival where a Hindu goddess slays a demon. This year the demon is Trump | CNN

Sitting atop her lion, the Hindu goddess Durga wields a celestial weapon in each of her 10 hands. But her target isn’t the usual demon of deceit, Mahishasura.
