Do You Do a Thanksgiving Dress-Rehearsal?

Jesus, Byrdbrain. It's practicing to make food better, not kicking puppies.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 106: The Knee Replacement Diet

Water Aerobics! Yes, you'll be the only guy there, and probably the youngest overall, but so what. You'll still get exercise, it won't hurt you, and it's fun. Your pride or your knees, baby.

Pizzeria Mozza Just About as Good As You've Heard

A sad truth about almost any wildly popular restaurant is that going on friday/saturday night will insure a suboptimal experience. Lunches, or mid-week dinners are wonderful at Mozza. The service is lovely and the food is sublime. But the idea of a weekend dinner there makes me shudder with dread. I've been burned by too many of my favorite places that suddenly went all Mr. Hyde on me because of the weekend crush. I can't even fault them for it. Saturday customers can be a little, ummmm, not interested in the food? Not you guys, obviously, but man can it get ugly.

Fancy Restaurants Should Implement an Early 'Baby Seating'

Look, I'm going to have to play the I-hate-babies-more-than-you card here. No, really. I had my tubes tied at 25. Any of you had horribly painful surgery because you hate kids? No, because that would be crazy. Ahem.
Anyways, my point: This is a great idea. I don't want parents to give up dining out. I don't want them to have to lock their children up at home for the next 10-25 years either. But I really, really don't want to listen to even one god damn scream from a baby when I am paying money to have other people make and bring me food in a peaceful environment. So yes, please, have a lovely meal with your child at the restaurant of your choosing. I will make it my business to find out when I need to avoid the place. Just like I do with live %$#@*& music.

Uh, I cannot describe in human words the carnage that would result were I attempt this.

Serious Grape: What Sherry and Sourdough Have In Common

I like learning new, delicious things. But man, I really did not need another reason to drink.

Snapshots from Chile: Hot Dogs and Sandwiches at Rapa Nui

That cross section of the completo both excited and repulsed me. It looked delicious, yet instantaneously fatal. I am so impressed by your eating on this trip. Impressed and envious.

O'Connell's Pub; St. Louis

Great. Now I have a new city I need to visit.
There are few combinations better in life than a truly excellent burger and a walk in the park.
That burger looks beautiful.

Guide to Gelato in Bologna

Man, I don't know what it is about how you describe food, but it always makes me ravenously hungry. I have never wanted gelato more than when I finished reading this article. And I have wanted gelato in the past. But now I crave pistachio like my next breath.

Rachael Ray - love, hate, ignore, pity, envy?

I find her useful. Cooking once or twice a week is easy, doing it every night requires a totally different skill set, that I did not have, much to my surprise. I can make pasta by hand, but I can't make a quick meal?!
And a lot (not all) of her recipes work for me.
But. But.
I just can't watch her anymore. Stop saying EVOO. Stop cooking with EVOO. It's not for heating! And, please, for the love of god, stop giggling.
