Barstool Chicago Makes Hot Coleslaw With Carl's Dad Hank: StoolGating Episode 9 Presented By Miller Lite (VIDEO)
This is a famous recipe from my great-great grandmother that gets talked about a lot in Barstool Chicago. Another thing we talk a lot about is drinking in garages, specifically my dads. He's lived in the same house since 1983. This is his sanctuary - a place for endless beers, cigs, cigars, smoked meats and grilled whatever. Very nice of Hank to let us into his home to share this famous recipe.
Obviously I get progressively hammered as we make the recipe. That's kind of the point of drinking in the garage. It's. Shoutout Miller Lite for fueling a great Christmas Eve with my folks.
