Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 124: Eating Hell Week Strategies
I'm going to come right out and say it. The past seven days (eight, really) constituted hell week for this serious dieter. An extremely pleasurable hell week, but a hell week nonetheless. Why do I say that? Consider the following meals of fried chicken in Nashville, pulled pork sandwiches at Big Apple Barbecue Block Party, and our office taste tests this week involving kettle chips, chocolate chip cookies, and sliders.Video: Chipwich Ice Cream Sandwich Commercial
Richard LaMotta, creator of the Chipwich—two large chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream smooshed in between—died last week at the age of 67. In 1982, he first dispatched 60 street-cart vendors selling the dessert sandwich and a few hours later, all 25,000 of them had been gobbled—"the start of something big." If you don't have two cookies and some ice cream nearby to honor the Chipwich inventor, find some later, and in the meantime, watch this old commercial.The Obsession with DoubleTree Hotel's Warm Chocolate-Chip Cookies

Find out how much you know about this favorite indulgence.Chocolate Chip Cookie Timeline
Illustration from CakespyIt's hard to believe that the chocolate chip cookie is less than a hundred years old. (Some commenters really don't believe it.) But in its seventy-odd years of history, it's come an awfully long way. Cakespy has an illustrated timeline of the chocolate chipper, including such landmark events as the launch of Chips Ahoy (1963), Cookie Crisp (1977), and refrigerated cookie dough (1980), and the opening of City Bakery (1990). Biggest surprise for me: Cookie dough ice cream didn't appear until the '90s? I'd definitely projected it much farther back into my childhood....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
