Gordon Ramsay Is Not a Jerk; He Just Plays One on American TV
I actually had a chance to meet Gordon not long after his NYC restaurant opened; The London was offering kitchen tours after the meals, and he was working at the pass.
Needless to say, he was polite, appreciative, and actually fairly chatty for someone who was in the middle of dinner service. So I can completely agree with Koppelman's elegy.

My cat. "Ooh, what's this hot thing over here?"
Morimoto's Cookbook Can Be Yours This Weekend
Chen Kenichi, for his classic reaction when the ingredient was revealed during Battle Yogurt. I've never seen a chef look so dumbfounded.
Fage & Kashi
While I love regular Fage (especially the one with the cherry sidecar), the no-fat plain version is to be avoided like the plague.
Of course, the regular stuff is full of delicious fats, so I guess there's tradeoffs everywhere.
You Sure That's Trans Fat Free?
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?)
Who went to the burgerfest @ the water Taxi?
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.

In Defence of British Food
I lived in England for two years and lost weight, and loved the food--loved Tescos, Marks and Spencers, Sainsbury's and the ease of finding good vegetarian food. I loved the gastropub atmosphere and the emphasis on talking and pub quizzes rather than just drinking.
I don't eat meat or drink beer and there was lovely Indian food, the chips were great for junk food, and snack food like crisps, flapjacks, and chocolates were divine. Ditto jacket potatoes with cheddar and butter--now that's awesome street food!
The problem with British food is not that it is bad, but that when it is bad it is grotesquely, epically bad food, bad food like none other I have been served in restaurants--like the pub where I asked if the soup was vegetarian and the man said, "oooh, I'll have to go back and have cook look at the tin" and the soggy white bread, Nescafe, and so forth. And because tourists don't know where the good British food is they eat at such places and go back without seeing how good it can be, particularly in supermarkets and out-of-the way places.
Gordon Ramsay Is Not a Jerk; He Just Plays One on American TV
I don't think people quite understand. I think it's reasonable to believe that Gordon is a an ass in HIS kitchens and is also a proper, decent human being outside of them. I don't think these are mutually exclusive. If you read Marco Pierre White's memoir, White states with certainty that the environment inside of top kitchens is not friendly or politically correct, and may be considered darwinian if nothing else.
Gordon Ramsay Is Not a Jerk; He Just Plays One on American TV
How come the American talkshow hosts seem to enjoy being "funny" and talk all kind of nonsense and act stupid when they invite Ramsay over to their show? I just watched 2 different talkshows via SE and they were pretty unbearable - the hosts i mean. Gordon Ramsay was genuinely interested in the cooking and they weren't.

Chocolate is my favorite, but it's chocolate with meringue not whipped cream or that stuff sprayed from the can. Also like banana cream - again with meringue.

America's Favorite Pies Pie Chart
The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink mentions cream pies briefly: "On the great dairy farms of the Midwest, cream and cheese pies became favorites."
Maybe some of our Midwestern friends can answer to the popularity of chocolate cream pies in that part of the country?

I'm questioning the chocolate creme following...I've never seen it here in TX, is it a east coast pie?
