Now we’ve gone and done it, taking a swipe at a competitor’s product. “That’s not nice” says one Midwestern engineer. “I’ve used that software for 20 years” says another. To that I say, you can do more and better with CookSelect. It’s an engineering tool, more than a...

Click here to join the fun! I used to visit my twin brother in Madison. Late night, after a hard night of ‘studying’ on a Friday or Saturday (2:00am?). We might hit La Bamba for a ‘burrito as big as your head’. In Chicago, however, it was Taco Burrito Palace. MMM....
