I’m not sure how many times we’ve mentioned gyros over the years, but it’s no secret how much the Nerd Lunch crew loves that Greek delicacy. We haven’t discussed breakfast food nearly as much, but I love it too. I could eat breakfast food anytime and regularly tee up eggs or pancakes for lunch or [...]
Upon returning form Europe most people would probably talk about the diverse cultures, natural wonders, or historical sites they experienced.

Niro's was the choice for hossin' during our day long sessions of DVD watching or D&D playing and the gyro was [...]
The three of us got together today for the first Nerd Lunch we've had in about a year. We're spread out over the country now, me in Florida and the other two in different spots in Illinois. But, Christmas time brings me back to Illinois and Jeeg was able to come down and meet up [...]
