Kenji, I've been told by my reliable West Coast source that you may have missed one (minor) menu option: it appears you can order the burgers "no salt", which will spare you from them adding it during the grilling.

Apparently, though, it doesn't make a significant difference in the taste.

Great article!

The irony with Krispy Kreme availability is that there used to be one just down the block from where Rub BBQ is located. Sad it closed!

Is this the first time in history that there has been a sandwich that was named after California but did not contain avocado?

Skirt.

It's less about the cut of meat and more about how it's prepared. I've had some great filets as well as some great skirt steak over the years.

(For whatever it's worth, I've been coking a lot of flank lately...)

I've heard a lot of talk that Papa John has been pallin' around with terrorists, but this site is obviously too afraid to mention it. When will Slice stop it's liberal bias and let us know the truth about "Papa" John Hussein Schnatter?

Ha - thanks for the love, Adam. I saw the pictures appear on your Flickr account and wondered if you were going to finally give them the review they deserved!

I didn't eat at Michael Angelo's as much as I would've liked before leaving Astoria, but I will miss it being an option. More consistent than Forno Italia, undoubtedly.

They also had a pretty amazing antipasto plate when we at in the restaurant last, but that was a few years back.

(And for whatever it's worth, the train tracks over the Ditmars station are Amtrak's, not the LIRR's.)

Always happy to help the cause of inappropriate uses of technology for food related purposes!

I'm sorry, "pizza playlist"? Who greenlighted THAT?

Chen Kenichi, for his classic reaction when the ingredient was revealed during Battle Yogurt. I've never seen a chef look so dumbfounded.

I fear a lot of people are taking "Trans fat free" to mean "fat free" or "reduced fat".

No, silly, they've just moved it all into other fats.

(I inadvertently ate a McDonald's meal while in Maryland a month ago - where there is no such ban - and can I just say how much more platable the fries are with trans fats?)

Definitely the Onion Burger.

I had high hopes for the Butter Burger, but by the time I got to sit and eat it, the butter had soaked through the bun. And the plate. Blech.

Pimento Burger was better than I expected but didn't dazzle me.

The two times I've eaten there, I can't recall anything being bad; the menu changes regularly enough that I can't locate anything on the current menu I've had.

Live a little - it's pretty much all good.
