I don’t just mean your ears perk up and you start to salivate. I mean really excited -- take off your shirt, swing it around your head, jump on the nearest car and howl like a werewolf excited.

No clue why this has not happened yet outside of the Foundry Restaurant over Eric Greenspan’s short rib grilled cheese sandwich.
