Do Not Eat These Monsters
Wow. I am terribly amused at the thought of a collaboration between Mr. Bell and Ursula Vernon :-)

In Videos: Tour of Intelligentsia Coffee in Los Angeles
Incidentally, Intelligentsia sells tickets to tours of their Chicago roasting works on Fulton, near the United Center, on the first Saturday of every month. It's informative and interesting, and a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning. Plus you get a half pound of freshly-roasted coffee (and they have a neat variety of coffee-related swag available for purchase, too)!
Cook the Book: Nigella Express
Pre-weighed boneless skinless chicken breasts, frozen in vacuum-sealed Food Saver bags. The greatest thing ever for work day evening meals!
Serious Sandwiches: Hot Doug’s Citrus Burgundy Pork Sausage
Oh, heck yeah! Hot Doug's ("The Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium" - you missed that last part, Michael :-) is one of the first places I like to take an out-of-towner to show off some of the unique Chicago eateries. Yes, they close at 4 PM, and it's cash only ("Just cash, my friend"), and on most days there's a line out the door. And it's totally worth it. My favorite there so far has been the cognac-infused smoked pheasant sausage with truffle sauce moutarde and foie gras "butter". Delicious!
Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway
Call it a throwback to simpler days, but my mom always made the Bisquick Impossible Bacon Pie for Easter brunch. Delicious!
Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'
I don't really have a chicken story per se, but I will say that Cook's Illustrated butterflied chicken roasted over sliced potatoes is purely divine! All the chicken juices fall down into the potatoes, infusing them with meaty goodness. If only there was an easy way to make a bunch of these when company comes over! (I know, get a bigger oven...)
Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'
My father, who learned from his first-generation Italian mother in St. Louis, Missouri.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Secret Ingredients, the New Yorker Book of Food and Drink'
Yep, Harold McGee. No question.

Do Not Eat These Monsters
That's how I always pictured the Hamburger Helper. How is an animated hand NOT scary?
Cook the Book: 'Top Chef'
Chicken Piccata with lots of fresh lemon juice and capers.
Cook the Book: 'Top Chef'
Ancho Pork Tenderloin Enchiladas with a Red Chile Sauce - different and incredible! It would make Bobby Flay jealous
Cook the Book: 'Top Chef'
I would make my favorite comfort food - baked mac & cheese. There's chicken, walnuts, mushrooms, and a roux of gorgonzola, white cheddar, and bleu cheese. Topped with scallions, this is divine.
For a dessert, I would make rice pudding with lemon zest. It would be a carby, heavy entry, but everyone would be bursting with happiness and cheese.
