The Hungry American

Ask me anything   Only in America is my epicurean story even possible. A Vietnamese American poet's life in food.

I just watched a Red Sox game in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts at “Boston Tavern” on the recommendation of an old couple at CVS. Of course, I ordered a lobster roll (my first!) and Sam Adams. Everyone around me talked with a Boston accent just like on TV. I love my country so much tonight.

This is what the Hackbraten German Meatloaf recipe looks like when finished. I realized last night you should add at least 3 more carrots than what I originally wrote in the recipe. Let me know if you try it!
