My wife's homemade ones are the best - boiled and baked, but I suppose the ones from a national chain would more or less suck equally. . .

Is the candid camera thing around anywhere? I tried to find it without luck - I hadn't heard about it until this week, and it sure sounds like it would great.

Not a big fan of Miller products; for affordable I am okay with Coors products. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my parents' beer of choice, Strohs, was not on the list - I figured it would be because it is considered a cheap one.
