Portland Essentials: 10 Must-Visit Food Carts

Shout-out to Tabor and The Frying Scotsman. So gooooood.

So You Want to Pitch a Food Article? What to Do (and Avoid)

@Kenji -- Is this the place where I can go to talk about how much I miss your lustrous long hair? The servers at hairlinewhisper.com seem to be down.

Also, Max is a gem and editor extraordinaire. As a full-time food writer and editor for the past three years, I can say (not that he needs my help) he is absolutely right. Craft those pitches, y'all!

How Katz's Deli Makes Their Perfect Pastrami

Kenji being the first to comment on this, and so honestly, really brings a smile to my face.

Where to Eat Outdoors in Washington, DC, 2014 Edition

@Liz B. Are you a Mustang alum? I'd LOVE to make that list happen (aka I'd love to sit at Gus' for the rest of my life).

Taste Test: The Best Frozen Puff Pastry

Lookit ol' Max Falkowitz, showing his true colors again. Way to be in the pocket of Big Pastry!

Yes, You Want to Watch This Tiny Hamster Eat Tiny Burritos

Thanks everyone! What a funny thing to be happening!

Lunch in the Loop: Perry's Deli

Am I just now reading that "Smellen Keller" joke? Priceless.

First Look: Leghorn Chicken Brings 'Socially Conscious' Fried Chicken Sandwiches to Ukrainian Village

This place looks unstoppable.

Does Mission Cantina Make the Best Burritos in NYC?

New York, I love you, but you[r burritos a]'re bringing me down.

Chain Reaction: We Try Papa John's Double Cheeseburger Pizza

@Dennis I forgive but I don't forget.

@Dennis no side-slice shot of all the cheeseburger-as-pizza madness? I thought you cared about my needs.

Lunch in the Loop: Rock the Naanwiches at Naansense

Dennis Lee: national hero.

Where to Drink Beer in Montreal

Vices & Versa is the best!

Leftover Pizza + Waffle Iron = Delicious Crispy, Gooey, Cheese-Stuffed Snack

@monopod - Kenji's definitely in the pocket of Big Gadget. Or at least Big Waffle.

@Osomatic - It was definitely a pork-heavy event, so there was almost no avoiding the stuff. That being said, pork = yummm.

Los Angeles: We Tried Every Taco at the Tacolandia Taco Festival

@StreetgourmetLA - Tamales Elena should definitely be in there, but the Mexicali tripas weren't available by the time I made it to them, sadly. As for La Tiendita and La Monarcha, I couldn't possibly have eaten more non-taco delights without doing serious harm! Thanks for putting on a great one!

Lunch in the Loop: Eppy's Deli

I can't say it enough: I love Lunch in the Loop.

Lunch in the Loop: Pierogi Heaven

Man, these are always really, really great.

I has a sad.

My 8 Favorite Carne Asada Tacos in Chicago

Minus that beans, rice & ... cole slaw... abomination at Taqueria El Milagro, these look fantastic. I'm excited for the day that we get Freaky Friday'd and I start eating all the Chicago tacos and you chow down in L.A.

Santa Ana, CA: Try the Whole Pig at Tacos y Carnitas Sahuayo

@DPiez - Although I'm certainly not an expert, I'd have to say that the likely answer is that penis just seems more shocking. It's also something that comes a bit more camera-ready, shall we say. And when it comes to uterus, I would imagine that it would look much like any internal organ, which doesn't offer the same visual value as a roasted up tube of you-know-what.

San Francisco: Excellent Burgers and Booze at Dear Mom

Everything about this looks fantastic.

Julia Child Was Right About La Super-Rica in Santa Barbara

@Lorenzo - that's the al pastor quesadilla. It's not a big, loping burrito-sized quesadilla; they use the same tortillas as their tacos to make it, just double-stacked.

@Notoriousjoe - I do think that La Super-Rica has done an excellent job of selling the Julia Child angle, and I would agree that it's not my favorite Mexican food in the world, but I certainly found their simple recipes to be an absolute delight.
