There are times when you just need a chocolate cake, damn it. Say, like after hearing The Beatles song “They Say It’s Your Birthday” on the radio. Yep, that will do it. Or, perhaps like myself and my son, you just had an actual birthday. I turned 48 this past week, and even being the so-called Shirtless […]

Shirtless Chef makes Shrimp and “Grits”
Local fitness enthusiast Jason Murphy remakes favorite meals of his youth into healthy dishes. See the full list of his recipes at www.mysaline.com/shirtless. Of all the meals I have adapted to fit my lifestyle once I gave processed foods and simple carbs the boot, Shrimp and Grits has to be one of my favorites. Sure, […]
Shirtless Chef says “Crikey, it’s The Rozzers!” – Fish & Chips is the recipe this week
I’ve always loved British pop culture. From Monty Python, The Young Ones, and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as a teenager, to Peaky Blinders, Broadchurch, and Top Gear as an adult, I find myself immersed in British culture. Sometimes it’s easy to forget with all the deep-fried battered fish fast food places around here that […]
Shirtless Chef says it’s all gravy, baby – the kind you can feel good about eating
There are some dishes that are required to be on a rotation when you live in this part of the world. I’ve already covered a few of them like Chili and Cornbread, Catfish, and soon Shrimp and Grits will be coming out. Today, though, is probably the quintessential meal of the south, and that means […]

Shirtless Chef: Try making this honey-mustard spinach chicken salad – it’s real healthy, not fake healthy
There are a lot of common lies we all tell ourselves. I can hit the snooze button again and still be on time, the boss will believe me if I call in sick the Monday after the Super Bowl, that warning light on the car is probably nothing… but the biggest of them all is […]
Shirtless Chef has breakfast for dinner
Time. To quote Joe Jackson, it just keeps tick-tick-ticking in my head. If you are like me, it feels like there’s less of it every day. It can be a real struggle to get everything done in a day and cooking healthy from scratch is very time consuming. Most of the recipes I’ve featured in […]
Transportation & Covid blamed for local restaurants short of inventory and employees
The word from Saline County neighbors on social media is that they have had obstacles to getting service at local chain restaurants. As it turns out, the issue may not be just local. Some neighbors were discussing the lack of key items at Taco Bell. “They are out of everything except making tacos and chips. […]
Shirtless Chef makes hot dogs?? No, Grass-fed Cow in a Blanket
If I had to guess, I’d say about 80% of my childhood diet consisted of hot dogs. My first cooking related injury resulted from boiling water for hot dogs as a 5-year-old latchkey kid. I accidentally touched the burner with the palm of my hand, and seared the flesh right off. I had a perfect […]
