QOTD: If I could get in the way back machine, I'd make Gary what I had tonight. Low Country Boil. Crabs, mussels, shrimp, crawfish, polska kielbasa, corn on the cobb, red skin potatos, all steamed in Rodney Strong Chard with a generous dash of old bay…. yeah that's it.

I wonder if it took 209 episodes to see one of those, how many will it be before a vin jaune pops up on an episode?
