No Knead bread call to arms.

I made the NYT bread twice this past weekend and I agree..the crust is great (I used cornmeal) and the inside tender. My only problem is how sticky the dough was while I worked with it. I worked on a Silpat with flour and still was struglgling to fold and form into a "ball". I was afraid of over-flouring in fear of a tougher bread. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it is?

New York Pizza - which one?

Bleecker Street Pizza - on the corner of Bleecker and 7th Ave. Try the Nonna Maria slice.

Cook the Book: 'Southern Belly'

I second Jestine's Kitchen in Charleston SC...go for the fried chicken, fish & grits, sweet tea and corn bread with butter & honey....and definitely stay for the lemon pie!

What's Your Favorite Local Cheese?

Jonathan and Nina White make amazing cheeses at Bobolink Dairy up in Vernon, NJ. (I believe they also attend the Union Sq. Greenmarket on Fridays). The cage aged cheddar is outstanding and the one they call Frolic might be the best cheese I've ever eaten!!

Favorite Brand and Flavor of Potato Chips?

Pop into Trader Joe's and pick up a bag of their blue chips. You'll be licking your fingers and stabbing at the bottom of the bag until every last crumb is gone!

Water Street:

http://www.waterstreetcoffeejoint.com/catalog/coffee.php

they are based in Kalamazoo Michigan. us Kalamazoo-ites are somewhat cultish about our love and obsession with Water Street Coffee (yes, the original location is on Water Street). and Starbucks wonders why they can't make any money in this town.

I went to costarica and went to the Britt coffee platation. It was a very cool experience and I noticed that the coffee they grew was categorized by the land or placing of the beans. It let me learn alot about coffee not only as a drink but as a plant.

The website is down at the moment but a good company in TX is Addison Coffee Roasters. If you like flavored coffee this is one of the best in my opinion. You don't get a chemical aftertaste like you get with so many. "Jamaican Me Crazy" is my favorite! The website when it is up is www.addisoncoffee.com.

I'm a Peetnik and have been for several years now. I live in Ohio and get my coffee fairly quickly. Also, I get little freebies about once a year, which is always appreciated and they when have a special anniversary blend or their holiday blend, they'll send you a free sample of that. They're also really easy to deal with on the phone.

i'm surprised that no one has mentioned Barrington Coffee Roasters. is anyone familiar with Joe The Art of Coffee in NYC? this is where they get their coffee from. it is amazing.

I recommend the following:

Intelligentsia -- particularly Zirinkana (Rwanda) and Finca Matalpa (El Salvador) for drip, and Black Cat for espresso.
Metropolis in Chicago
Terroir Coffee
Counter Culture

In L.A., try Monkey and Son (www.monkeyandson.com). You can buy their coffee at Surfas Chef's Paradise (www.surfasonline.com), which is open to the public. It's in Culver City.

Thank you everyone for these great suggestions. There is a new Intelligentsia shop in Silverlake (suburb of L.a.) and while I've heard great things about them I didn't know they deliver. I'll take a stroll over there and give them a taste! Of course, I may have to oversee a large-scale tasting between all of these operations--I'm just committed that way.

Sweet Maria's! They're the best, roasted or unroasted. I'm sipping their Sumatra right now. Yum!
