The Don Stutzke

 

There are times when respect needs to be paid. 

You've seen the movies. A kiss on the pinky ring, an envelope full of money. But for those who know him, you understand that those petty tributes mean nothing to "The Don" Stutzke. He deserves a higher honor. Nothing less than having a sandwich named after him.

You know, like in a deli.

Roasted Fennel with Parmesan

I'm quite fond of fennel. Mostly, I eat it raw - on its own or in a salad. I've put it in soups from time to time, but I also like to roast it. Fennel, like other vegetables when they're roasted, will caramelize and develop a subtle sweetness. The fennel here is roasted simply and the saltiness of the Parmesan cheese compliments it nicely.
