Handy Hambone Bar & Grill Bellflower, CA While growing up, I enjoyed baking cakes as well as cooking breakfast -LSB-...]
You couldn't paint a clearer message — treat others with kindness and compassion for best results — yet execution is
never hambone or Hallmark cheesy.
The
veteran hambones starring in «Quartet» get away with murder most fair, through eye - bugging delight in a double - entendre in close - up (Billy Connolly); charmingly distracted line readings...
There's much to enjoy in «Lovelace,» from the period R&B hits to the outrageous furniture and fashions to
hambone performances by Chris Noth, Bobby Cannavale and Hank Azaria (as the sleazeball trio who made «Deep Throat») and bit parts for James Franco as Hugh Hefner and Adam Brody as Harry Reems, Lovelace's impressively endowed costar.
Of course, that film had two of the all - time
greatest hambones, John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, operating at maximus overacti.

Alas, I did not have
a hambone in my freezer (used it up for lentil soup, yum yum).
However
my hambone wasn't very meaty, so I added some of the cooked ham that we'd saved for lunches.
I think
the hambone also contributes to the delicious meaty flavor of this soup.
But if you're making your soup with a meat - stock base (I used chicken stock), then the stock helps to stretch the protein that is in the soup from the split peas and
the hambone, because the stock helps your body to absorb and utilize the available protein more efficiently.
Lunch, however, is the real show: Nearby office workers vie for tables in the tile - floored space, gobbling down sandwiches like
the Hambone (a kind - of Southern take on a Reuben, with house - made tasso ham).
What to order:
the Hambone, the Hudbano (a take on a cubano), freshly pulled mozzarella with grilled bread; Newman Farm ribs with peanuts, puffed rice, and fried garlic; daily butcher's cut (tomahawk chop, cowboy rib eye, etc..)
Keeping in perspective when it was made the film is not bad, Muni a fine actor when not in costume, say in Chain Gang, brings
the hambone out as Zola ages and many of the rest of the cast are stiff and overly grand.
Wiseau whisks Sistero from San Francisco to Los Angeles, where he puts the young man up in his expensive one - bedroom apartment and exhorts him to act with his heart, soul, and, alas,
hambone.
I fully expected him to transform into
a hambone.
