Sean Jordan hates wet things. Kelly Jordan loves wet men. Coincidence?

Every time Sean goes on about hating wet things, I'm reminded of his mom loving the wet action stars of the 80s and early 90s. Is this a deep psychosexual connection for our boy?

Why is O'Doul's Serengeti's favorite drink?

Is there something Chicago coded about this I'm missing? Is the Kenny Dennis alter ego in recovery?

What is "street food"? Is it just bougie code for "cheap"?

In other countries - or even other American cities - there are traditional foods you can buy on the street. I get that.

We don't really have that in Chicago. Excepting tamales, elotes, fruit carts, and late night Sonoran hot dogs - all from Mexican street food culture - the closest thing we have is the occasional food truck.

So... when people say "street food" in Chicago, what do you take it to mean?

What Josh was thinking of when he called Nicole "Gravy"

As soon as he said it, I knew he was referring to this Simpsons (season 12, episode 9) parody of "Davey and Goliath". Unfortunately, he got it backwards; the dog is Goliath/Jobriath and the boy is Davey/Gravey.

Anyway, it gave me one of those rare moments when you immediately know why someone thinks or says some very specific thing. (There should be a word for that feeling.) It was nifty.

Anybody else catch this?

How common is chicken bouillon in salsa?

Was just inhaling some standard red salsa (salsa de molcajete) from the Cermak in West Ridge/Rogers Park. I remembered hearing that chicken bouillon is a common addition and the savory note was there.

So... am I wrong about Cermak salsa and just how common is this practice? Looking out for stuff like this has got to suck for vegetarians!

Are contestants required to set the buzzer down for Daily Doubles? If so, why?

I think I've noticed that before a Daily Double clue is read, the participating contestant *always* sets their buzzer down (it's a pretty conspicuous motion). It's certainly possible I simply don't notice when contestants don't do so but I think it's a pattern. Former contestants, is this a rule?
