Whoops! CM is getting Knifleyerian censorship!

What to do? What to do? What's Cooking in Adair County causes mass confusement and indecision at Dun Roman; COF has pulled the switch on ColumbiaMagazine.com. Living in paradise of gourmet goodness overwhelms even the colossal cerebellum of the COF; maybe the ruination of ColumbiaMagazine.com as we know it.

Ed,

With regret I gotta tell ya that I'm havin' to censor CM.

If'n Miz Emily wuz to start reading your vittles reviews, she'd be pitchin' a regular hissie fit fer me to be a takin' her to one of these places ever day. As tis now, I've got her convinced that Bakers and Crossroads are as high on the hog as hit gits in these parts.



Fact is I can't quite git my understandin' wrapped around jest how it is that you write 'bout all them eats without swelling up like a hoppy toad at the height of matin season. Why, I swanee, just reading what's gonna be on the table every day is 'nuf to set my mouth a waterin and put my peepers to lookin yonder and down the road apiece.

One minute I'm considerin slippin over to Betty's for a mess of pintos and corn pone and then my eye slides down to Bob's Cheesecake and Snicker's Pie. Just while I'm trying to gauge the closeness of Betty's OK Country via 551 vs Vester via Bull Run, I catch a glimpse of Chef Jim's Bodacious Buffalo Burger and start wunderin' how that would go with boysenberry. 'Bout then I start recalling those awesome Hot Dawgs at the Dairy Dip and think that might be a good compromise. Thank Goodness Ol'Joe's Barbee is closed fer a short spell yet.

What really gits me to thinkin seriously 'bout heading out the back door and telling Miz Emily "going to town, be back directly" knowing all the while I'm headed toward Holmes Bend - is the way you carry on bout Rerun's bill of fare. Now I agree, Chef Cornelison is definitely a good ole boy and having et there oncet or twice mine own sef, I agree with all you say, but Ed, seriously, you must be thar bout ever day to carry on the way you do.

Why last time I caught my self lookin, bless your heart you weren't swolled up all that much. Like I said at the beginning, I jest can't figure how you do it. All thet food you write about every day is right good and I put on a few pounds jest reading bout it.

Well, I hear Miz Emily a hollerin for me so I reckon I'm fixin to cut out the light and see if she wants me to carry her down to Knifley for some rag baloney, a slice of onion and maybe a Moon Pie and RC.

Fact is, it's a Knifley, KY,or at least Chelf-gene problem We're obsessed with eats. In fact, every letter my Uncle Marshall sent from the South Pacific in WWII had to do with the eats back home and he eats he was finding out there. Knifley people just know good food. Ask anybody who ate at Hatfield's -EW
