Soup’s On Cook-Off

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

I find it ironic that a soup contest is being sponsored by a nursing home. Add to that the list of restaurants competing, and I think it will be more of a who buys the best soup competition as I wouldn't think more than about five of these places actually make ...

Ruhlman Teaser
