I thought about the Seinfeld episode, too!

I'd almost be afraid to use their restroom...

In Videos: Locavore on the Game Show 'Duel'

I've never heard of a 'locavore' before, but I guessed correctly what it means!

Kraft Reformulates Oreos for Chinese Palates

Heh! I wonder if the idea of a Kit Kat bar came up when they were discussing what to do.

Snapshots from Chile: Hot Dogs and Sandwiches at Rapa Nui

That would be something I'd try only once because it looks interesting and I don't typically care for mayonnaise. But the green beans on the sandwich sounds very good.

Snapshots from Chile: Café con Piernas

Huh, interesting. I think there are coffee stands similar to this in Washington St., according to a show (20/20, Primetime?) I watched, but it always included boob shirts... Because that's what American men are into... lol

How to Decode PLU Stickers on Produce

Pretty interesting. I always knew the codes meant something, I just didn't know what exactly it meant.

The Changing Face of Starbucks

I once went to Starbucks and found one of those cardboard sleeves without the logo!!! Stupid me, I forgot to save it. :( I should have taken a picture of it and me in the store.

I suppose I'll have to try this new coffee to see if it's really improved. The logo does not make the coffee, though.

Serious Eats Gift Guide: For the Cookie Baker

I completely agree about the cookie press. I use my mom's because I don't have my own, but unless I found one exactly like it I'll keep using hers! Every Christmas, we use it to make bizchochos.

How to Make Macarons

Ok.... I have way too many egg whites left!! I am going to try this!!! Hopefully it'll turn out!!

Got some question, how do I do different flavor Macarons? I was searching around.... and would I be correct to say that you subsititue the granulated sugar for what ever flavor you want? ie cocoa powder.

As for the filling, is there a special name for it when I goggle for different flavors? Or would you by chance have those recipies too?

That is the best restaurant bathroom I've ever seen.

I don't think I'd ever touch those books, but it's such a clever touch to put them there that I might try to get a reservation just to see the bathroom. (Of course, it doesn't bode well for the food's expected effect on diners.)

@David: AH, you've found the secret to his genius! It's all in the bathroom.

@Annie: That's why I didn't go to the bathroom until my meal was finished; I didn't want to risk missing anything! ;D You'll have to thank Raphael and Adam for asking me to take photos. I don't think I would've come up with that on my own. I mean, as though it's not weird enough that I take photos of all my food...next, the bathroom!

@minoric: It looks like too much, but I swear...it's not!

...Okay, I really love mayo.

Haven't had a potato salad sandwich before! If only I were in Japan. :(

The beef sandwiches look AMAZING! They sorta remind me of Vietnamese sandwiches. There is a great place in Williamsburg that makes them really well.

How to Make Macarons

My second attempt - I made lime and rose macarons. The batter seemed a bit dry.. but they turned out beautiful. I immediately froze them and havent tried them out yet after leaving them for three days now.. the ones I did try soon after the baking were.. crunchy and not chewy inside! *grumble grumble* :-/

How to Decode PLU Stickers on Produce

This is very helpful. I've seen the organic codes, but never GMO. Guess I'll have to check the produce section of a huge supermarket if I want to catch a glimpse.

How to Decode PLU Stickers on Produce

you really don't have to remember even that much though, because any organic item will almost always say "organic" on the sticker along with the PLU code

i have yet to see a GMO item though.. and since i work at Whole Foods Market, i thankfully never will lol
