It was 2008 and James Morse refused to eat a dish without first adding hot sauce and cheese–gobs of it.

Hot To Squat: Happy Foot Fetish

Hot To Squat: Happy Foot Fetish

I have a thing for socks. A visceral, near-obsession — an unbridled enthusiasm that began back in high school, when a new store opened in the local mall devoted entirely to socks. Socks of every length, every color combination (mid- to late-nineties obnoxiousness), every pattern. I had argyle socks. I had socks with balloons on...
