  • Amazing ! Absolutely Amazing !

    Oh my god!!! Whenever I heard Keithie, at the end of a Greetings From Allentown podcast , talking about Hands of Z and a podcast where he cooks from the Jim Ross cookbook, I thought he was joking. Then I finally thought. Would look it up for a lark. And here it is and more amazing than anyone could imagine !!!!! Better than a Garvin Stomp!
