Like every summer, we held a contest to bring our steaks, our grinder, and our Manny over to a lucky family member's house. To make sure everyone understood how special a grill-guy Manny is and how special an evening this could be, we brought a video camera to see Manny one morning in Harvard Square.

Just in case our family needed some incentive to come get the t-shirts we made as a tribute to the most handsome bacon-burger (and Red Sox relief

Some of Uncle Faris' sayings make sense and some don't. Some of his sayings offer profound insight and some provide useless bits of insane rambling from the mind of a great man of leisure and fulfillment. We had Faris try to explain.

Dan, a b.good customer, and his band made up of Megan (our once-tango-instructor-customer) and Alice (our spinach-eating champion), created a musical and visual masterpiece of sweet accordion ambiance.

A young woman by the name of Alice Rouse took more than our beautiful championship belt. She took more than a lifetime supply of free food. That 4'10", 100 pound vegetarian took our pride. (We feel like we are no longer men. We feel like some kind of weird, little rodent that can't eat.)

In a decision that defied logic, common sense, and the rational human thought processes, the Red Sox invited Uncle Faris to throw out the first pitch. It's the kind of thing that you can only believe if you see. So, to prove that all of this actually happened, we videotaped the whole thing.

We wanted to advertise. Unfortunately, we didn't have hundreds of millions of dollars to hire a top-notch ad agency to create a jingle. So, we had to do the next best thing - give a college kid with a part-time rap career a bunch of free food in the hopes that he'd create a commercial for us.
