Chuck Klosterman is one of those guys who gets to do whatever he wants and what he wants to do is share his humorous/insightful theories about pop culture. Rico talks to him about his new book "Eating the Dinosaur."

Brendan eats the worst candy in the world. Actually, he eats a little bit of it and then spits the rest out.

Philly is unstoppable right now, and we're not even talking about the Phillies. We're talking about Dr. Dog, Free Energy, Blood Feathers, Alec Ounsworth and now The Swimmers, a three piece that makes clean pop with a touch of Britfluence. We recommend listening to this while cooking dinner at dusk.

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.

Re knuckle sandwich lore: FYI: Spreading wasabi mayonaise on a knuckle sandwich was a Brooklyn delight, back in the day. Good show again. Mostly, though, I love the Carmen Maranda cat as your logo. Make it a poster with the faces of Rico and Brenden on the pineapples, spread on some copy and you rake in the merchandise bucks--and Rico supports his parents. if and when needed. F (dad) G.
