Adam you make me laugh. I love comic books with epicurean themes. I admire people who eat Tartare, I had a food poisoning scare in the 70's at a party with Tartare and I now run from it. Yet I eat meat rare. Odd paradox.

Funny and informative! It does give new meaning to the term "couch potato!" Where will you explore next?

Oh Adam, you totally rock! Love the post and the food looks delicious. (I thought I was the only one who Tivos the View!)

I like eating at Mekong rather than getting delivery, since, yeah, they give you all the produce in little bags. It almost feels like you did grocery shopping instead of take-out.

Awesome, especially the Miss Saigon references.
I'm not sure I would eat Tartare take out though - that seems pushing it a bit.

Someone please, please tell me that "Pho Shizzle" is a photoshop job? ... Please?
I miss New York! Anything cuisine you want, delivered right to your door! I don't think I'd have any more problem with Tartare delivery than with sushi delivery, which we used to get all the time... Yay for adventurous eating!

Adam, I love your comic book series! They are so entertaining and fun. The food looked terrific, too. I look forward to seeing more of this comic style from you.

Another fun distraction from paperwork! Great as always. :)

Adam! Great posting, as usual. I love your comic book series; it's informative and funny,
I just question about eating tartare from takeout, though...

Pictures, text, a story -- comics are perfect! The dishes look great, but I have to say you're really brave to do the Tartare. I'm not sure why I think that's different than sushi, but there you have it -- I make irrational snap judgements. Also, pho is very close to the perfect food; it is the nectar of my gods.

Love the Pho Shizzle!
today the column

I'd buy it.

Great comic post -- as always. And very daring eating tartare from a takeout joint!
If you guys haven't tried many Southampton brews...you should explore a bit. The IPO is good, but their Secret Ale and Saison are also pretty damn good.

How about weekly beer reviews penned by Diana?
