Lou Malnati's: Home of Flawless Deep Dish
Visiting Chicago for the first time real soon. The timing of this article is perfect! I'm so so excited to try the Lou and that butter crust! Butter crust! The word butter associated with anything instantly makes it sound good.

I don't understand how people who are fans of this very website could be against taking photos of food in restaurants. Aren't the pictures, the visuals, a big part of why we read it?
If you enjoy food porn, how can you be waggling your finger at the people who make it?

Batali.
Can I try some of that?
French Fry Holder For Your Car
Depends on what you mean by serious: serious=frowny or serious=expert. And maybe GingerSnap confused this with the Oxfam website somehow? This is a great gag gift for "serious" fry lovers.
Red Carpet-Worthy Popcorn
is this nitpicky? for the bacon cheddar it just says 1/2 cheddar. I'm assuming this is 1/2 cup?
Food Podcasts: Do You Listen? What's Your Favorite?
Splendid Table is my favorite. Other shows often let their very learned (but very monotone) guests yammer on in jargon for too long with no interruption, but she is good about asking clarification questions and keeping things interesting. I listen to it in the car and gym, both places where I don't want to fall asleep!

buttermilk chocolate with any type of chocolate frosting. If the frosting has a little coffee in it, even better!
Cook the Book: The Serious Eats Chocolate Lover's Library
Rosie's Bakery Chocolate Babycakes - they're like miniature chocolate souffles. yum!

My fam from out of town will place an order for a 1/2 cooked pizza which they can pickup, freeze and reheat in a home oven. It's as close to the real deal and better than the pre-packaged ones in store.

I grew up with Malnati's and it's always been my gold standard.

I went to the Lou's on N. Wells in March 2007 when visiting Chicago, not impressed at all. I've heard that location is not their best however.

Of course it's DC's perogative about banning photos, but did we really need another reason to think he's kind of an overrated jerk? I heart food photography.
On Banning Photography from Restaurants
Am I the only person who doesn't understand why this is "antisocial"? I mean, I take the photo, then I get on with my meal. And yes, that means eating the food and conversing with whoever I'm eating with. It's not like the photographing lasts the duration of the meal. Am I missing something?

Don't quote me on this, but I think that photography is banned at starbucks...I vaguely remember someone telling me that she was kicked out of a starbucks for taking pictures. (she was working on a project for a photoagrphy class, and apparently saw some great lighting that would work well for her assignment)

I was one asked to leave a Burger King for taking photos.
And I'm pretty sure they sent around a flyer to all their stores with my picture on it, because I was trying to snap a few shots of their food storage room one day when the girl working the front counter invited me to ... "have a look around".
Turns out the Store Manager and Corporate don't really want people back there, despite what the friendly counter girls says. :)
Yes, this hardly compares to Momofuku but...

I understand how this must affect so many in the blog world, but in all fairness this isn't about the right to photo the food you've bought. Ko's is an independently owned restaurant, the owners can set policies or choose not to serve someone.
Some restaurants ban cell phones or demand gentlemen wear jackets while dining. I was once in a private dining club that prohibited the presence of papers, newpapers, contracts, legal pads, etc. on the tables. Banning photos is Chang's perogative.
