I don’t know how to make something a meme but this clip of Roger Daltrey making fire in 1985 probably oughta be one

@ScottThe50 Thanks Scott. Keep up the good work.

I’ll never be a rich man, but through some weird stroke of luck and timing, I’ve gotten to live the life of a zillionaire. I’ll never forget how lucky I’ve been. (FIN)

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@darcyjusich Thank you, Darcy. Very kind of you to say.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@edible_words Oh, Maggie, you are too kind. I'm blushing.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@aribendersky @philvettel @stevedolinsky @edible_words Thanks, Ari. Happy to be mentioned among those other Titans.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@stevedolinsky Thank you, Steve. Keep on Dolinsky-ing. It's one thing we can always count on in this world.

I’ve decided to leave behind my post as Chicago magazine’s dining critic. This may seem like a great big So What, considering there isn’t a whole lot of dining criticism to do at the moment …and frankly, the world has bigger problems than whether I liked the dry-aged duck. (1/9)

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@chrissilva81 Thanks, Chris. You're a good man.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@lisashames Thanks, Lisa. I have always enjoyed your writing too.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@livdiverse @robertloerzel Thanks, Jill. May your fork never be forlorn.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@SkywayChicago @robertloerzel Greasy. Always too greasy. Gotta cook out the fat ahead of time.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@bookgossip @robertloerzel Thanks, Anne. It sounds like we both went through the same thing. Glad I'm not an outlier.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@ChrisGerbs Thank you sir. Keep up the fine work.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@morgancolsen Morgan, this is very kind of you. I am humbled and thrilled and all blushy.

[Jeffrey Michael Ruby @dropkickjeffy]

@MichaelNagrant Thanks, Mike. You were ahead of the curve even back then—and you still are. You're like the Velvet Underground of food writers.
