Going to Hilton Head, South Carolina! Recommendations?

I'd second the vote for Hudson's....of course "fresh", but more than that, cozy, warm "glad you're here" service!

Hmmm, incredible poor timing with the press full of stories of people being killed in Haiti and other countries for want of even the barest staples...

oops, never mind...I guess I expected to "see" more in the serving.

Eating out in Chicago!

For a great breakfast spot, don't overlook "Yolk" on South Michigan Ave. Fantastic breakfast choices, unusually friendly and prompt attention by the wait staff, and close by the museums...what more could you ask for?? Well, except for the Bacon Batter Waffles that is sllluuurrp.

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

It save me time to go on that "cooking frenzy" every now and again...multiple meats on various heat sources and some great storage containers and I've got a week's worth of lunch AND dinner in the fridge waiting for me.

Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway

Gosh, I'd have to say, uhm..."a big box of John & Kira's" chocolate easter eggs...at least after I win a box this year! Seriously, gotta' be a nice ham with the ginger/orange glaze just past that great carmely, almost crisp stage....slurp.

They should follow food boy over the years and see how fat he gets from an endless choice of food - there could be promise for sequels already in the works... Maybe food boy could morph into Takeru Kobayashi and eat everything that appears in his hands! I love the comment - "just think of what this boy (if real, obviously) could do for countries experiencing famine". It is funny we are even wasting this much comment on some lame Disney movie....

OK is this a joke or a real movie? Can you imigine the meeting to come up with this idea!

Excuse me, but I think I was using the FoodBoy name first. They have a lot of nerve.

Thanks, Debbie Downer. But I'm sure that the production company didn't have a crystal ball when they began production or set the premiere date. Besides, just think of what this boy (if real, obviously) could do for countries experiencing famine.

Do a search on Serious Eats for the recent post on Hot Dougs - sounds amazing, wish I could go! I've never been there myself.

Definitely go to Hot Doug's on Friday for their french fries - fried in duck fat on Fridays!

Blackbird for a dinner.

Alinea for a 24 course one of a kind meal.

When I buy a bag of lemons I zest them and then juice them all. I freeze the zest in little baggies and the juice I freeze in ice cube trays and then place in baggies in the freezer. It's very convenient for baking and cooking.

Best Deli: Manny's Coffee Shop on South Jefferson St. near Roosevelt Rd. Pastrami and corned beef sandwiches a foot high and great homemade brisket, short ribs, chopped liver, potato pancakes, etc. Lots of "movers and shakers" chowing down in this throwback to the 50's.
