Have you solved the "Murder at Irish Wake" yet? Thousands of people already have, since opening on September 25th, the new Mystery Dinner Playhouse production has been a smash success. Every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, audiences have walked away stuffed, tickled (to the funny bone!) and surprised, and the shrewdest audience-detectives walked to their cars with prizes. If you haven't seen the show yet, don't worry, it runs until March 30, 2010. Surely, your calendar has a free Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evening between now and the end of March. There's no better way to fill in that empty calendar square!

What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than an Irish murder mystery? Solve this Celtic comedy murder mystery while enjoying a four course dinner.

Trappist Beer Dinner Review at Richmond's Can Can Brasserie

Contributed by Brian Artis

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a Trappist beer dinner at Can Can Brasserie, located at 3120 W. Cary Street in Richmond, VA. The idea behind a beer dinner is to pair beer with food in the same manner you'd pair wine with food. At this particular event, a specific type of beer was used -- Trappist beer. For the Trappist beer impaired, this type of beer is brewed under the strict control of Trappist monks. Before you jump to any conclusions, these monks brew and sell their beers to support their monasteries. All profits are used to sustain their modest way of life. Trust me when I say that we should be thankful that they brew these fine beers because they are all very delicious. These days, there are only seven breweries, six in Belgium and one in the Netherlands, authorized to label their beers with the Authentic Trappist Product logo that indicates these beers comply with various rules decreed by the International Trappist Association. Of these seven, we had the opportunity to sample beer from five. That's 71.4% if you're keeping track.

All-You-Can-Eat St. Louis Style Ribs

What makes St. Louis Style Ribs so darn good?

Many experts like the taste of the St. Louis cut of ribs better than baby back ribs and other cuts, because there is more meat between the bones, and it is better marbled. In preparation, the brisket bones are removed from the bottom of the rib rack. Slow cooking over low heat is the key to culinary success with a good, smokey grill.
