Harissa: What do you do with it?
I just bought some really good harissa, and I can't stop eating it. I put it in an arugala pesto last night and it was awesome. I've also been eating it on crackers constantly. What else does everyone use it for?
Jerusalem Mix?
I recently returned from Israel and wanted to replicate something called "Jerusalem Mix." It was basically a pita or a baguette filled with griddle cooked gizzards, livers, hearts, etc. Does anyone ever make this dish? It was so good and I want to try it at home.

I'll never forget a waitress calling my buddy a "pussy amateur" after he couldn't finish his burger on new years day. Their bacon cheeseburger cooked medium rare is a thing of beauty.

Totally disagree with Richman on JG Melon. The service can be surly, but once you actually get a seat its pretty fast. I'll never forget a waitress calling my buddy a "pussy amateur" after he couldn't finish his burger on new years day. Their bacon cheeseburger medium rare is a thing of beauty.
Sharing (or not) a Whole Roasted Duck at Peking Duck House
I've been here a few times...so good. You definitely should try it with the rice flour tortilla with the duck pieces (plus extra skin), cucumber, green onion, and hoisin. It's sublime. I haven't had it recently, i really should.
Happy Meal Toys Not Making Rock Band Devo Happy
Its hard to show damages, especially in a trademark case. At best they'll be able o stop the production of those toys, unless those toys dilute the strength of devo's mark. Not very likely, but who knoed. They'll probably be a collecters item soon.
Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki at Otafuku
Any other recommendations for other okonomiyaki places in the city?
Eating in Columbus, Ohio
Go to Japanese Oriental Restaurant on high street, just north of osu for great korean food and sushi.
I agree with all the comments about north market, that ice cream place is delicious. Graeters is really good too, more of a cincinnati thing but you can't go wrong. If you want wilder flavors go to the place at north market, but it closes early.
Behind the Pitmasters of the Big Apple BBQ Block Party: Ed Mitchell and Chris Lilly
You posted the same story on eater. I had a good time. I just mde a surgical strike. Waited in line for an Ed Mitchell whole hog sandwich, i was tasty but the sauce may have been a little too vinegary (or it was just me having bad reaction from drinking too much friday night). Also had some brunswick stew from a place that had no line...they ere from virginia. The stew was delicious, everyone should check it out. Huge serving for only 4$.
Sugar Rush: How Sweet It Is on the LES
That torrone bar looks awesome. I buy these french nougat bars at amish market sometimes that look like that and also have honey... they're so good.

I love these street fairs...I live right by them and there's always good cheap food to be had.

I have tried this joint twice.
I find Nothing Special about JG Melon. The burger incites no cravings.
I just understand why this place gets such high praise!
I will admit I prefer the thinner burger format(shake shack devote), however the Wollensky's Grill has a thick burger that I do really like.
(Wollensky's Grill also has better fries)

So much delicious burgerness. Too bad I don't live in NYC, I'd be at these places every night.

Nick, I will have to second scooter's comment. Whether one loves or hates Melons, your description of the pros and cons of the food is 100% accurate. On my arrival to NYC, i commenced to explore the city using a constructed google map of the "top burgers". While Melons was not originally in my top 20, after dozens of visits, it is currently my "favorite place to eat a burger" and the burger firmly in my top 10.

Nick, Again spot on review. I visited JG 3 times in the past year, mostly to satisfy my craving for a great burger but also try to figure out how the hell two guys crank out thousands of burgers like that in a kitchen no bigger than a shoe box. The cook throws meat from a white bucket on the grill and cooks it perfectly on the flat top-the other cook is doing dishes and emptying the grease buckets and frying fires- Symetry at it's best!
Sharing (or not) a Whole Roasted Duck at Peking Duck House
@NYminknit: Thanks for the tip! I'd rather have buns. And if I ever go to Beijing, I'll have to get duckies...and a gazillion other things. If I don't die from the pollution.
Sharing (or not) a Whole Roasted Duck at Peking Duck House
You can get buns instead of wraps if you ask. I like this place (even threw my own b-day party here) though I think it is still not as top-notch as the best Peking duck places in SF or, duh, Beijing.
Obnoxiously,
A Peking-duck lover.
Happy Meal Toys Not Making Rock Band Devo Happy
...and don't get me started on American Idol.
Happy Meal Toys Not Making Rock Band Devo Happy
Not surprising at all..."Devo" is named for "their concept of 'de-evolution' - the idea that instead of evolving, mankind has actually regressed, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society." IMHO, what McD thrives in.

Go Devo!! Whip it-- whip it good!!!
Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki at Otafuku
Yeah I just tried this for the first time tonight because of this article. It was not my thing, but I am sure people who like this stuff will like it.... Well, at least I made the effort to try it.
