Bills DT Marcell Dareus has not been cleared to practice yet being on the Non-Football Injury list, but he also has not been in attendance each of the past two days at training camp. Head coach Doug Marrone explained why on Monday.
"All the players reported to camp. At the present time I've excused Marcell," said Marrone. "He's taking care of some personal stuff, but he'll be like everybody else on the side training getting ready to pass the physical. He's one of the players that didn't pass the running test."
Marrone said Dareus is scheduled to return to camp this evening (Monday).

Marrone committed to getting Dareus on trackPosted by on June 3, 2014 – 3:13 pm
The two latest incidents off the field by Marcell Dareus are certainly of concern to the Bills organization. Even though Dareus will now miss the remainder of OTA practices (7 in all), throwing his full support behind Dareus in an effort to get him back on track is head coach Doug Marrone.
"Obviously, we all know and are well aware that Marcell has made some poor decisions lately and the one thing is that I've been working with him and he's dealing with a lot of personal issues too," Marrone said. "I spoke with him at length and we spent a lot of time together talking about a lot of things. As of now, he's not going to be attending the OTA's, but he'll be attending the mandatory minicamp when we come back.
"I just want to make sure that I'm clear that everyone understands that I believe in Marcell and I will do everything I can to make sure that we can get him on the right track. Really that's the situation. There are a lot of things going on, a lot of personal talk and that's really all I'm going to comment on. The conversations we had are between us and we're working this thing. I'm disappointed in all of our players anytime anyone of us, including myself, when we make poor decisions. It's a reflection of the team, which is a reflection of me and it's a reflection on this organization."
Marrone went on to say that it's more important for him to do right by a person who needs help over everything else.
"When any player makes a poor decision I always think of where I made a mistake," he said. "That's the truth. I just feel that way and when I make decisions to not play people, bench him and all that other stuff, I do it because winning, don't get me wrong my job is to win and winning is important, but it's not as important as trying to help somebody.
"I'd rather lose games and do the right thing in my mind, not everybody else's mind, not the media's mind and not the public opinion's mind. My mind. I'd rather do the right thing and I can live with myself. At the end of the day, I'm the one that is going to have to live with myself. That's the way I treat it. Right wrong or indifferent, it might not be what people want to hear, but that is more important to me. Trying to do the right thing and help people, than it is to win."

Report: Bills pick up 5th yr option on DareusPosted by on April 25, 2014 – 11:53 am
The deadline to pick up the fifth-year option on Marcell Dareus' rookie contract was fast approaching, and the Bills not surprisingly have acted. According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter the club has picked up the fifth-year option on Dareus meaning he'll be under contract through the 2015 season.
Bills picked up 5th-year option for 2015 on former first-round pick Marcell Dareus, per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 25, 2014
Buffalo had until May 3rd to do so. If confirmed by the club Dareus will be paid equivalent to the transition tag at his defensive tackle position in 2015, or top 10 money in the league at his position. The figure for 2014 is currently $9.65M.
Whaley confirmed 5th year option picked up on Dareus by #Bills. Full story here. http://t.co/EkcvYwl48M

Whaley: Extension for Dareus on radarPosted by on February 21, 2014 – 7:17 pm
Bills GM Doug Whaley covered a range of topics at the NFL Combine Friday with the WNY media. And while there are certainly more pressing issues in terms of personnel for Buffalo's front office, Whaley did not deny that extending the contract of Marcell Dareus is on the list.
"It's on our radar, but right now we prioritize things," said Whaley. "With this system there's a lot of things you want to get done. There's a lot of things you can't get done because of the cap situation. Limitations from the cap, not our cap situation. I believe our cap situation we can get done what we need to get done, but you won't get done the laundry list of things that you want to get done."
Dareus is entering the final year of his rookie contract from when the Bills made him the third overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft, but with other personnel matters like Buffalo's unrestricted free agents right now putting the front office under more a time crunch it sounds like Dareus' contract situation is an item further down on the to-do list.

Dareus hoping Pettine stays putPosted by on January 21, 2014 – 11:29 am
Bills DT Marcell Dareus, who is headed to Hawaii for his first Pro Bowl, made an appearance on the John Murphy show Monday evening. After talking about his first NFL all-star game appearance he was asked about the possibility of losing Mike Pettine as his defensive coordinator knowing he's in the running for the Cleveland Browns head coaching post.
"Oh man. I don't know. I have no control over that," said a suddenly serious Dareus. "I would really, really hate to see him leave. At the same time it's still a business and football is football and we've got to just go out there and play."
With Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase now reportedly removing his name as a candidate for the Browns job, Pettine's odds of becoming a head coach in the NFL have improved.
Dareus liked the way Pettine gave him freedom in his role at defensive tackle this past season.
"They pretty much gave me the freedom to do my job and play the game I wanted to play," Dareus said. "He told me to play hard and be myself. Coach Pettine always let us go, let the defensive line go and get after the quarterback when we can and when we know it's a pass."
Dareus finished with a career-high 7.5 sacks in 2013.

Dareus add gives Bills rare 3 DL in Pro BowlPosted by on January 21, 2014 – 11:18 am
With Marcell Dareus added to the Pro Bowl roster Monday it gives Buffalo three defensive linemen in one Pro Bowl for the first time in team history as he joins Kyle Williams and Mario Williams.
It's also the first time one NFL club has sent three defensive linemen to the Pro Bowl in the same year since 2008 when Minnesota sent Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and Pat Williams to Honolulu.
Dareus also gives Buffalo four players at the Pro Bowl (Byrd, K. Williams, M. Williams). It's the first time the Bills have had four players at one Pro Bowl since 2004 when they had DT Sam Adams, CB Nate Clements, KR Terrence McGee and LB Takeo Spikes go.
The last time Buffalo came close to having three defensive linemen in the Pro Bowl in the same year was 1997 when Bruce Smith, Ted Washington and Bryce Paup all went, but Paup was a linebacker in Buffalo straight 3-4 system even though he was often at the line in a two-point stance.

Kyle, Mario got Dareus on right pathPosted by on January 21, 2014 – 10:53 am
When Marcell Dareus came to the Bills as their third overall pick in 2011, he was all of 21-years old. The commitment to being a pro every single day was something the talented defensive tackle had to learn. Fortunately for him he had mentors in Kyle Williams and Mario Williams.
It took until year three of his career for it to kick in, but Dareus prepared like a pro and it made him a more consistent player on the field. In an appearance on the John Murphy Show Monday after he was named as an injury replacement to the Pro Bowl, Dareus tipped his hat to his two veteran teammates and fellow Pro Bowlers.
"To come in the league with Kyle Williams and Mario Williams they showed me so much and they told me just how to stay focused this year and learn the league and watch film and break film down the way it's supposed to be broken down and stay consistent with your work, being with those guys I just kind of blossomed into the player that I always wanted to be," he said. "I've just got to build on it and stay consistent and remain the guy I always want to be known as and that's what I did this year."

Dareus over the moon about Pro Bowl nodPosted by on January 21, 2014 – 10:41 am
Bills DT Marcell Dareus left on a 6 am flight bound for Honolulu this morning. He'll arrive on the South Pacific at 3 pm Hawaii time to prepare for his first Pro Bowl as he was named an injury replacement Monday for San Francisco's Justin Smith. Dareus appeared on the John Murphy show last night and his excitement was obvious.
"Oh my God, words can't even express how I feel about the whole thing right now," Dareus said. "It's almost happening too fast. I'm just trying to get a hold of myself."
Dareus knew he was a Pro Bowl alternate, but didn't know until this past weekend that his chances to go to the Pro Bowl could improve based on how things played out in last Sunday's NFC Championship game.
"My agent called me and said, 'Marcell just be prepared just in case anything happens on Sunday you may be sliding into the Pro Bowl,'" Dareus said. "So we waited to see what the outcome was. It's a great feeling. I can't even explain it right now."
Dareus, who posted a career high in tackles and sacks this past season explained what he felt turned his play around in 2013.
"It was just more focus on myself and stay in the game and not let off field distractions get in the way of me playing good and being consistent," he said. "I just kind of focused in on what I had to do and pulled it off. Talking to my brothers and sisters helped and we just put it all together and made it happen."

Kyle tops NFL DTs in advanced metricsPosted by on January 13, 2014 – 9:44 am
Bills DT Kyle Williams has already been recognized by his peers and opposing coaches as a Pro Bowl caliber player for the third time in his career. The advanced metrics football site AdvancedNFLStats.com agree wholeheartedly in Williams with their figures backing them up.
Williams is rated as the highest defensive tackle in the NFL for his performance in 2013. The veteran DT had the highest Win Probability Added figure with his time on the field for the Bills last season.
In addition Buffalo's Marcell Dareus was rated seventh overall, making the Bills one of just two NFL clubs with two players in the top 10 on the list. The other team was the Detroit Lions, who had Ndamokung Suh and Nick Fairley. They rated second and fifth respectively.

Fan Friday 1-3Posted by on January 3, 2014 – 11:57 am
Happy New Year Bills fans! We can only hope that 2014 will hold much better fortunes for the team. In fact hopefully this Fan Friday edition next year will be talking about the postseason with the Bills in it. Here's your latest edition of questions on email at firstname.lastname@example.com and on Twitter @ChrisBrownBills.
1 - @ChrisBrownBills is dareus being traded for being late to meetings just smoke?
Guy Rosenbarker Jr.@rosenbarker
CB: I did not hear that rumor and would be stunned if that happened. Here's where I believe coach Marrone and Doug Whaley stand on Dareus. He just had his most productive season in the NFL. He's 23-years old. He's done some irresponsible things as they pertain to the team (chronic lateness). Marrone has said they have addressed the issue. Dareus, to his credit, faced the music in the postgame locker room after his first half benching and sounded remorseful. He has to live with that feeling of letting his teammates down all offseason. I think the Bills see that as a motivator for Dareus moving forward and it should be.
Perhaps the most important thing to come out of Dareus' postgame comments last week were his references to being a leader. Obviously coach Marrone told him he expects Dareus to be a future leader on the team, and that he can't help lead a team when he can't be a responsible professional himself. But it's clear the path they see Dareus traveling with this team. Hopefully Dareus can see it too.
2 – @ChrisBrownBills With @jairusbyrd can they start negotiating now?
CB: Yes, now that the regular season is over they can resume negotiations with Jairus Byrd on a long term contract extension provided the Byrd camp wants to negotiate. Byrd's last public comments on the John Murphy Show were that he was open to returning to the Bills on a long term contract. Of course he's open to anything that might come his way.
Bills GM Doug Whaley said this week they will make him an offer in an effort to keep him long term. Whether it's enough to convince the free agent safety remains to be seen.
3 – Chris,
With the roster in evaluation mode, who are the 2014 Bills free agents? How high is Carrington on the Bills list? Will the Bills be awarded a high pick for Levitre?
CB: Hopefully you saw my blog earlier this week listing the free agents. With Alan Branch already re-signed it gives Buffalo some leverage with Carrington. I'm sure they would like to add Carrington back to the fold, but he's got to prove he's healthy coming off his torn quadriceps suffered back in Week 3. I talked briefly to Carrington a couple of weeks ago and he's said his rehab has gone quite well.
The Bills tried to re-sign Carrington right before the season started, but were turned down by Carrington's agent, who also happens to be the same agent for Jairus Byrd. The market will be considerably softer for Carrington due to the injury, so the Bills can probably afford to provide just a reasonable offer to get him back on the roster.
As for a compensatory pick it begins and ends with a net loss of free agents. I don't believe they had a net loss of free agents knowing they signed Manny Lawson, Alan Branch, Kevin Kolb and Doug Legursky while losing Andy Levitre, Chad Rinehart and Kyle Moore (who did not make Chicago's roster).
Levitre's large salary could net a compensatory for Buffalo, but we'll have to see which signings the league qualifies as free agent losses. Moore's small salary upon signing with the Bears may be excluded.
4 – Hey Chris,
My question is in regards to the players during off season. Do the players with injuries going into the off season continue rehabbing with the Bills training staff, Drs., etc at the Bills facility? What about the players whose contracts are up after this year? Is it now their own responsibility to find ways of rehabbing injuries outside of the Bills organization?
Thanks Chris, Tim in Niagara Ontario
CB: To my knowledge it is usually at the player's discretion as to where they would prefer to rehab. Some have chosen to rehab here in town in the offseason (e.g. Marcus Easley). Others have chosen to rehab back home and then come in for periodic check-ups with the Bills medical and training staff.
For players whose contracts are up after this season, they technically can still rehab with the Bills because their contracts do not expire until March 11th. But that is not usually what players in that situation choose to do.
5 – Chris:
Great job of coverage again this year, so thank you for all of your consistent hard work in keeping Bills fans on top of what is going on.
Looking ahead to the 2014 season, it looks like the Bills will be facing the AFC West and NFC North teams due to the rotating schedules. So, that means the Bills will be tested by the likes of Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Drew Stafford, Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Ryan Tannehill, to name a few.
Do you think the upcoming schedule plays any role or factor in how the Bills will view the importance of bringing back Jairus Byrd for 2014, based on the level of quarterbacks that the team will face next year?
Besides Byrd, any news or updates on players that the Bills are trying to sign to contract extensions before they hit free agency? Thanks Chris.
Dan in Cheshire, CT
CB: Thanks for the compliments Dan. Much appreciated.
While the list of quarterbacks for Buffalo's opponents in 2014 is impressive I don't know that it's a determining factor in how vigorously the Bills will pursue a new contract with Jairus Byrd. I think the decision on how determined they'll be to re-sign him has already been made. Now they will simply try to execute that plan. Byrd's value is already established in their eyes. Naturally Byrd has a value himself. That likely wasn't impacted any more or any less by the quarterbacks they'll be facing this coming season.

Dareus regretting misstepsPosted by on December 29, 2013 – 10:56 pm
A week after being benched for the first quarter of Buffalo's shutout win over Miami in Week 16, Marcell Dareus again broke a team rule the following week and found himself sidelined for a half in the season finale against New England. His absence was instrumental in seeing LeGarrette Blount rumble for 189 yards rushing and a pair of touchdowns in the Patriots 34-20 win.
Dareus was remorseful in the postgame locker room.
"It's tough," he said. "I just hate that I put my team in a position like that. As a player I'm just going to get better. Me and Coach talked about it. I'm going to grow as a player in the offseason and continue to work and do the best I can. I hate I put my team in that position."
"Obviously there was a team violation. It was broken. I sat down with him again and talked about it and we're both going to continue to work through it and move forward," said Marrone.
Marrone did admit he missed having one of the leading tacklers at the defensive tackle position in the NFL.
"It would be naïve for me to stand up here and say no. We know what type of player Marcell is," Marrone said. "The more we can have him out there playing the better we are."
Dareus spoke to at least two of the team captains in Kyle Williams and Fred Jackson.
"We just know we can't put ourselves in those situations and he knows that," said Jackson. "He's talked to me and I'm sure he's talked to Kyle and we need him out there. Anytime he's sitting on the bench he's not helping us or helping this team.
"That's a feeling that I know he doesn't like so he knows he's got to come back and be better at it next year and I'm sure he will. I have all the confidence in the world in him. Espeically after a day like this it's something that's going to be sticking with him all offseason and be motivating for him."
Dareus said he addressed the team following his team infraction.
"I apologized to my guys," he said. "Regardless of the situation, I let them know that I'm so sorry about what happened. I'm sorry about the game today, and last week. They know that I'm sorry for what happened and it's done. But it's a team rule and we're all with it. I respect it.
"I'm just going to continue to move forward. Just be a better player all the way around. Come in to camp better and just be a better person. If I'm going to get to the next level to where I'm supposed to be as an elite player in the league and try to be a captain of the team, I have to do the best I can. Continue to get better, be on time, and have no excuse for whatever the situation is."

Kyle, Dareus make PFF Pro BowlPosted by on December 26, 2013 – 4:01 pm
The stat crunchers and film reviewers at Pro Football Focus have released their Pro Bowl teams and Buffalo's two interior defensive linemen both got the nod.
Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus were both honored for their play this season. Williams was selected as a "starter" while Dareus was listed as a backup. Here's what they wrote.
Defensive Tackle: Gerald McCoy (TB), Ndamukong Suh (DET), Jurrell Casey (TEN) and Kyle Williams (BUF)
Backups: Dontari Poe (KC) and Marcell Dareus (BUF)
There are a lot of players who might feel wronged here. The nose tackle types who only play on early downs like Damon Harrison and Brandon Mebane are victims of their own limitations despite their excellent work against the run, while there simply wasn't the room for Randy Starks or Jason Hatcher. It's been a tremendous season for the DT spot, with us treating Kyle Williams as one because it's the role that most closely resembles his on field work.

Sack plan now is get Dareus to 10Posted by on December 26, 2013 – 9:03 am
Coming off of Sunday's resounding season-high seven sack performance, the Bills now have three players with 10 sacks or more on the year with Mario Williams, Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes all in double digits. Their plan now is to get Marcell Dareus to 10 in the season finale at New England.
That according to Marcell Dareus himself, who with 7.5 on the season, will need to have a whale of a day to get Tom Brady on the ground 2.5 times.
"We reached the goals towards the end of the year," said Dareus. "We wanted to break the sack record. The single season sack record with the team. We want all the guys to get 10, they're waiting on me now. They're going to try to get me free so I can get there. We reached all the goals, Kyle got his 10, Jerry got his 10, Mario has his 13—everything is coming together."
Brady has been sacked 39 times this season.

Best matchup for BillsPosted by on December 22, 2013 – 8:53 am
The Bills defense has some premier level talent on their side of the ball and there's one matchup where Buffalo looks to have a decided edge against the Dolphins today.
With Kyle Williams playing a bit more end of late, it's allowed Marcell Dareus to step into the three-technique spot at defensive tackle (outside shoulder of guard). That means Dareus will be matched up against Dolphins LG Sam Brenner.
An undrafted rookie out of Utah, Brenner is a center by trade. He's made three starts at left guard for Miami since Richie Incognito was suspended in the Jonathan Martin bullying scandal. Brenner began the season on the Dolphins' practice squad.
Dareus figures to have his way with Brenner if they're in a one-on-one matchups. The Bills DT is putting together his best NFL season and is a favorite to land his first Pro Bowl berth this season.

Google extends reach into mobile apps with new ad feature
Published on Apr 23, 2014 5:14 AM
SAN FRANCISCO (REUTERS) - Google Inc will allow marketers to run online ads that send consumers to a page directly inside a mobile app, furthering the Internet company's effort to extend its multibillion-dollar advertising business to smartphones.
The new advertising feature helps Google bridge the gap between the traditional public Web pages that have long underpinned its search business and the increasing number of standalone, mobile apps popular with consumers.
Mobile apps, which are dedicated to everything from restaurant reviews to online games, have typically been walled off and difficult for Google to integrate into its search engine results.
Last year Google began to offer so-called "deep linking"capabilities with a limited number of participating mobile apps.

New Year's Cooking/Baking Resolutions 2012
- roxlet Jan 3, 2012 06:42 AM
My New Year's cooking resolution is to learn how to make really good baguettes such that it's easier to whip them up than to drive to the fairly distant store that is the only one in our neck of the woods that has decent ones. If anyone bakes baguettes I'd love any tips you have!
My second resolution is to cook more from the cookbooks I already own, and to cull the ones I know I will never cook from.
Meanwhile, what are your cooking/baking resolutions for 2012?
My baguette tip is to use Peter Reinhart's recipe for Pain a l'Ancienne http://www.crumblycookie.net/2008/07/... (unless you already have one that you love). This recipe gives me amazing results and is surprisingly easy to make.
I'm not really into resolutions, but one thing I started doing in December is to make a (dinner) recipe that I've never made before at least once a week.
re: ecclescake
That's a nice link. I have a couple of Peter Reinhart's book and will take a look. Thanks.
Wasn't there once a thread about the derivation of eccles cakes?
re: roxlet
I like the one in his "Crust and Crumb" that uses old dough, makes a gorgeous bread.
re: roxlet
I'm new here so I haven't seen it, but I'll have a look.
I like the way you think, as I do something similar - each year I try to identify an area where I'd like to improve. I did yeast breads, seafoods, ice creams, etc. This year I'm tailoring it to lighter appetizers, since it seems like so many are carby and cheesy.
I find these constructive resolutions much more inspiring to keep than the resolutions that limit you.
re: katecm
That's a really good point, katecm!
re: buttertart
Rolling a cake is not difficult. I used to make a buche for Christmas, and the trick was to sprinkle it with confectioner's sugar and to roll it while it was still warm.
re: buttertart
A rolled cake will be a piece of cake (so to speak) for you. I'm not sure they're worth the effort but they can be pretty. LOL, I'd think there would be a market for pie crusts the shape of Hello Kitty's face! I'd love to learn to roll dough out into a perfect rectangle instead of an odd oblong.
re: chowser
Rectangle? Map of Italy or Portugal, more like.
Another one: make a smorkage, puff pastry, Danish dough, 2 almond fillings. Hmm, maybe an Iowa project!
re: buttertart
LOL, we could make a map of the US in dough! I took a class in puff pastry and the instructor rolled out the dough, in no time, to a perfect rectangle. I know she does it all the time but it was impressive. I can't get it right and all I think the whole time I roll and reroll is overdeveloping the gluten. I would love to find local CH where I could fool around w/ all the things on your list. It would be so much easier making many portions of one thing and having different hands.
re: buttertart
There's a wonderful-looking raspberry roulade in Malgieri's light baking book. It looks wonderful!
re: roxlet
I got rid of that one in a benighted moment (moving frenzy).
re: chowser
I concur. A rolled cake will present no challenge to buttertart. They are very forgiving and seem much more involved than they really are. I used to make what I thought was the height of elegance when I first started cooking--a gingerbread "roulade" w/lemon filling. Believe me, it was super easy.
To make 'breakfast bread' (a quickbread or muffins) once a week. The resolution's good for at least this week -- I made corn muffins. A *great* companion is jalapeno jelly.
Bake bread every week
Cook something I have never cooked before every week
Eat vegetarian once a week
Buy and eat more pork belly
Learn to trust my instincts more in the kitchen
re: bayoucook
What kind of bread are you trying to make? I spent a year conquering my fear of all things yeast, so can help with some of the early recipes that really worked for me.
re: bayoucook
This is also one of mine. Ten years ago I was on a roll with my bread making and circumstances derailed me. I even created my own starter using grapes back then. It's time for my stone to earn it's keep.
Every year I resolve to cook more from cookbooks I already own; problem is, I keep buying new ones.
--Make a delicious mole
--Eat more quinoa, farro, amaranth, other whole grains
--Eat more grilled fish
--Use my new tagine
--Use my newly acquired pop-over tins
--Find and use fennel pollen
--Shake up my vegetable repertoire
--Learn to make some fantastic breakfast dishes
--Make ravioli at least every couple of months
--Convince my husband to be sous chef

Hamburgers were on Eric Ripert's mind last weekend at the Watermill Center benefit auction as he talked up the version he serves in his D.C. restaurant, Westend Bistro. Though in New York Ripert is revered for his fish, his is no dummy when it comes to America's iconic food. I know how to cook meat, too, he says. Read on to see what Ripert learned from the fast-food industry about burgers.
Whats the best burger youve eaten lately?
Im going to be self-promoting, because I think we have a great burger in Washington, D.C., at Westend. The reason why is because we went after McDonald [sic] and Burger King and all those brands, and we look at what was great about their burgers and what was bad about their burgers what we think was not the strongest point. However, the strongest point is the way the proportions are amazing. You can take a burger in your two hands and eat, and you dont, have the burger all over. The way they cut the pickles, the way they cut the tomatoes, the way they slice the salad, and the size, obviously make those burgers perfect. Except the quality of meat. So what we have done is we went after them, we look at it, we study the proportions, and then of course did it with great meat.
What kind?
Were using sirloin mostly. Its the fat content. And I dont give the proportions of that because I think thats the secret of the burger, to be juicy, and to be tasty. So this is a secret. The only reason is, it makes the burger fantastic. And then the quality of the bread. We find a great baker and he understood exactly what we wanted and was very consistent on the size.
Is the bread a secret, too? Because we cant all go to Washington to try a burger.
I know that. But I think what Im saying is something for anyone thinking about burgers. Because I hate going to a place and having a burger I cannot handle. And I hate to have a pickle in the plate, because Im looking at the pickle and I dont know when Im supposed to eat the pickle. Am I supposed to bite the pickle, then have the burger? What am I doing with that pickle? And then sometimes the onion is cut too thick and I am like, I dont want that. So what Im saying here is that maybe you cannot go to Washington, but Im saying get inspired by what we have done and maybe someone can do even a better burger than we do. But I think proportions are the secret of a good burger.
Will we ever see it in New York?
No! [Laughs] No, no, no. Because in New York is Le Bernardin, and it will be the only one. And on top of that, we specialize in fish, as you know.

Spiced Roasted Chicken Menu
While it's easy enough to buy a rotisserie chicken, roasting chicken at home allows you to control the sodium, flavorings, and quality of ingredients. Preparation is simple, while cooking is hands-off. Serve with Quick Carrot and Raisin Salad and mashed potatoes.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Remove and discard giblets and neck from chicken; trim excess fat. Starting at neck cavity, loosen skin from breasts and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat.
Combine oregano, cumin seed, garlic, oil, salt, and ground cumin in a small bowl. Rub seasoning mixture under loosened skin and over breasts and drumsticks. Tie ends of legs together with twine. Lift wing tips up and over back; tuck under chicken. Place chicken, breast side up, on a rack coated with cooking spray, and place rack in a roasting pan.
Bake at 375° for 40 minutes.
Increase oven temperature to 450° (do not remove chicken from oven); bake an additional 12 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the meaty part of thigh registers 165°. Remove chicken from pan; let stand 15 minutes. Remove skin from chicken; discard.
Cooking Light JANUARY 2007

Ironman will take over the city's streets this September, and it's already causing a ripple of excitement among Chattanooga's outdoor enthusiasts. Thousands of athletes will gather on September 28 to swim 2.4 miles in the Tennessee River, bike 112 miles and run a full marathon throughout North Shore, Southside and Riverview.
In honor of this momentous event making a home in the Scenic City, Get Out is following five local triathletes as they train for race day. Each month we'll bring you updates on their stories, advice from experts and more. So pick up some tips, be inspired by their sheer determination and check back each month as we live vicariously through these locals while we find out what it takes to become an Ironman.
Age: 41
Weight: 115
Body fat percentage: 17 percent
Biggest Fear: An injury that would prevent her from attempting the race. "I don't have any fears for race day. I will finish or they will have to pull my lifeless body from the course," she laughs, adding she should probably take the time to learn to change a flat bicycle tire just in case.
Most excited about: The start of the race. "I've been to seven or eight to watch friends. The start takes your breath away," Dana says. "It brings tears to your eyes."
For Dana MacCorquodale, Ironman is all in the family. Three times she watched her mother complete the Ironman in Kona, Hawaii, each time more emotional and thrilling than the last. "In Kona, we volunteered so we could be at the finish line. It was awesome to give her a hug and have her collapse in my arms," Dana reminisces. "It's a very emotional thing, the Ironman. It's about the heart, the will and how bad you want it."
She grew up around the triathlons that both of her parents competed in, beginning her own affair with the race at the age of 6 while running cross country. She completed her first half-marathon when she was 7, and though she's always wanted to race in the granddaddy of all triathlons, the Chattanooga event in September will be her first attempt at an Ironman. "When I heard there would be an Ironman in Chattanooga, I knew I had to do it," she says. "It's a huge movement; you'll never find a better-run race in the world. It will take over the city. It's electric. I get excited just talking about it."
Today, Dana's a single mom to Mercey, who is likely to be an echo of the MacCorquodale legacy. The 7-year-old raced in the Chickamauga Junior Marathon for the first time last year. Both currently live with Dana's parents while she trains full time. It's the perfect situation, really. Who better to have around during training than a mom who's already completed the Ironman three times?
Dana says she's currently working on gaining strength in the weight room to avoid later injuries, but once March hits, so will her Ironman-specific training. She's also looking for a new bike as she is currently using her mom's 1992 Trek from her days in Kona. "It still has pieces of the Queen K road in it; it makes it a bit magical," laughs Dana. "It would get me through the race but I need a faster bike."
The distance of the race doesn't worry her. "I've found I'm all endurance; the longer the race the better I do," she jokes. "The swim will be my best event, the run will be my second best and the bike will be my nemesis."
Age: 44
Weight: 188
Body fat percentage: 20 percent
Biggest fears: "My biggest fear with Chattanooga is the elevation, I think," Scott says. "One of the toughest things to do is to run up a hill or ride a bike up a hill—the amount of energy it takes out of you."
Most excited about: "Being able to sleep in my own bed," he laughs. "Being in my hometown and having support from everyone here—that alone is unbelievable."
The Chattanooga Ironman in September won't be Scott Wilhoit's first. It won't even be his second or third. When he takes his place to dive into the Tennessee River on September 28, Scott will be well on his way to completing his fifth Ironman. And he completed this feat only in the past four years.
The local general contractor tried his hand at a plethora of other sports over the years, including professional golf, motocross and wake boarding. In the aftermath of a divorce, Scott says he got into a party scene that was lacking direction—that is until he discovered the art and culture of the triathlon. "Starting triathlons gave me a new life because it gave me new friends and goals," he explains.
He dove into his first triathlon at the 2010 Beach to Battleship in North Carolina and has been hooked since. That same year he completed his first Ironman race. "I would never advise that to anyone," he laughs, explaining that he should have trained more strategically that year. In 2011 he raced another two Ironman races in Florida and Kentucky, and he's currently still coming off the high (or depending on how you look at it, the exhaustion) of the Florida Ironman last November.
His best event is cycling, he says, explaining that it took time to build up his stamina as a swimmer. The coming weeks will feature a 100-percent focus on running as he renews his training schedule. "It becomes your life," describes Scott of the training regimen. "I've done it for so long it just seems kind of natural for me. The mind overcomes the body in so many ways; you have to keep telling yourself to push forward."

Biggest fears: "There is a little bitty part of me that says 'What if I don't finish?'" Alexis says. "That can't be an option for me."
Most excited about: "I'm excited about how my body is going to transform and I would think I would be a lot stronger mentally," she says.
In fall 2012, Alexis Willis told her mentor how cool it would be if Ironman came to Chattanooga. "If it looks impossible, I want to try it," she says. So when the announcement came in last summer that Ironman was coming to Chattanooga, she got her wish.
Like thousands of other hopeful triathletes, Alexis scrambled around online for those three minutes to try to sign up for the event—and failed. But she found another way, signing up as a charity entry and she is now racing to benefit the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America. On top of all the training in the coming months, Alexis must also raise $5,000 for the organization. "It's a little bit of pressure but I think I can do it," she says. "It's been a daily dialogue with myself. Everyone has a reason why they can't do something, but I picture myself crossing the finish line every day."
And she has good reason to do so. Not only is she running to benefit the national foundation, she's also racing with a platform in mind—to get more black men and women in Chattanooga to participate in events like this. "I'm excited about building up buzz that healthy is cool," she explains.
Alexis owns an online business called Natural Beautiful Me, which empowers women to embrace natural beauty, and she's also a single mom to 6-year-old Riley. She says she's always been active but she's never attempted a race like the Ironman. "I'm really starting this close to ground zero. I've never done a triathlon before," she says. "I'm best at running; it's the one I have the most experience with, but that open-water swim is a big one for me. I have never even put a toe in the Tennessee River.
"Not knowing how intense it is, is kind of cool right now, it keeps me optimistic," she adds, laughing. She says she's starting to hit it hard this month—running, biking and swimming every week, increasing her training as race day looms closer. "I heard a quote said by Nelson Mandela; he said, 'It always seems impossible until it's done,'" says Alexis. "That's my Ironman quote."

Biggest fears: "I try to block out all the negative things, but injuries can happen," he says. "I'm still kind of timid being on the road [on his bike] with the cars and I haven't swam in the river yet."
Most excited about: "I really, really hope we can raise so much money and so much awareness [for Emily's Power For the Cure and the Make-A-Wish Foundation]," he says. "It's going to be a great feeling crossing that finish line and accomplishing that goal."
Of all the things Jason Greer thought he would do during his lifetime, Ironman wasn't one of them. "I've always been intrigued about it, but I never dreamed I would do something like this," says the Chattanooga firefighter. He played sports in high school, but then he grew up and life happened—marriage, kids and about 100 extra pounds.
So what inspired him to take the leap? His son Tristin, who has cancer. Neuroblastoma to be exact, which develops from immature nerve cells and is most often seen in infants or children under 5 years old. Imagine the utter shock of Jason and his wife Bronde when their teenage all-city soccer player received such a diagnosis. "Your world is just kind of … there's really no way to describe it. It's the last thing you'd expect," Jason says.
Tristin, now 17, has been fighting the cancer for the past four years, and Jason's been looking for a way to join in the fight alongside his son. "I really wanted to do something that was totally way out of my league," he says, explaining that he thought about running a marathon to raise funds and awareness for Emily's Power For a Cure and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of East Tennessee. Then he heard the Ironman is coming to the Scenic City the same month as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and he was sold.
A former high school athlete, Jason isn't exactly experienced with the outdoor sports that make up the Ironman race. "I wish I could say I was good at one more than the other but I'm actually not," he laughs, saying he's starting with the basics. "I'm a pretty good swimmer but I'm hoping cycling will be my strong point. I'm going to put a lot of effort into that one because that's the one that will make or break you."
Jason's already dropped 40 pounds since he started training last September. "I can tell my strength and endurance is getting a lot better. My biceps are starting to show and I haven't seen them in a long time," he jokes, adding, "I have so much more energy." For the first month of training he was on his own, but Greer quickly realized he needed experts to step in. He enlisted the help of Andy Sweet at Hub Endurance and strength trainer April Baker to help him reach his goal.
Getting Tristin healthy is his priority, says Jason, so he'll be training in between traveling to treatment clinics and putting in shifts at the fire station. With such a personal and emotional journey ahead, how on earth will he push through to make it to race day? "That's the million-dollar question," Jason says. "I've thought about it a lot. If I have to wake up earlier, I will. If I have to stay up later, I will. You just gotta do it. I'm really doing this for Tristin. I'll find a way.
"I hope that it inspires him to never give up," he continues. "I hope that Tristin sees me doing this and it really inspires him to not give up either. It will be a great feeling to have him there at the finish line."

Biggest fears: "I'm afraid first of all that I'd finish and my wife doesn't. I'd much rather her finish than me," Dan says, adding, "I'm not worried about the training and putting in the time, I'm concerned about the things I can't control—injuries, GI tract issues, which are supposedly a big thing during the race."
Most excited about: "I'm pretty excited about that finish. Coming through Chattanooga, heading toward the aquarium and seeing thousands of people cheer you on. I think it'll be pretty cool," he says.
The name "Dan Henry" might ring a bell. Perhaps you've spotted it in small print beneath a picture within this very magazine or in the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Yes, Dan's with us. He's our very own multitalented, kayaking, bike-riding, lens-wielding photojournalist. And we are so excited that he signed up for the Chattanooga Ironman that we couldn't resist including him in the series.
"I'm not doing this for fitness or bragging rights. I'm just doing this for me," Dan says. "Pretty much everything I've done, I kind of knew I could do. This is the first event that I've signed up for that I didn't know whether or not I could complete it. Even now it seems really daunting." Admittedly he's also doing this for his wife Crystal, who's starting out 2014 by turning 30 years old this month. With the milestone birthday comes a desire to spend her year doing something momentous—namely the Ironman.
It makes date nights easy, Dan jokes. "All the training can be hard on other relationships but since we're both doing it, one person isn't going to feel left out," he says. "Getting through it apart would be way harder than getting through it together." Instead of the tired dinner-and-a-movie duo, it's a 14-mile run. Or a weekend getaway to New Orleans in February where both will run a full marathon (just so they know how miserable a full marathon is, of course).
Dan knows he's soon to find out that a marathon is child's play compared to the ultimate goal in September, and there's a lot of work to do. "I pretty much only excel at cycling," he laughs. "It's what I enjoy most." He started out in competitive cycling at the University of Georgia but became even more competitive after college and over the last eight years while riding with Scenic City Velo.
Running is what he and Crystal are focusing on now, he adds. "Out of the three legs of the race that is the most intimidating to me," he explains. But there is some comfort to be had. "Being able to train in my hometown and know the courses … having the comfort of knowing where I'll be racing, it gave me the confidence to actually sign up for it."
