Photo of the Day: Chilean Churros

Robyn, I recently experienced a Portuguese donut in Hawaii and it totally reminded me of the mexican churro I know so well having grown up in San Diego. I wrote a silly review on yelp about it http://www.yelp.com/biz/leonards-malasadamobile-laie# but I'm also now very interested in the variations of frying dough...gotta love it!

Grocery Ninja: Pomelos aka the Answer to 'What on Earth Is That?'

Thanks for this post! I grew up eating pomelos but didn't know until recently that they were called pomelos. In vietnamese the same word is used for both grapefruit and pomelo! I too had a grocery store confrontation which resulted in a mother (with her child) buying a pomelo for the first time. I left feeling happy and hopeful that they learned about a new fruit that they would enjoy together for years to come - maybe even generations to come!

Snapshots From Hawaii: Spam Musubi

weeeee! I'm heading to Honolulu tomorrow so your post could not have been more timely! :) I'm a fan of fried spam with rice and a fried egg on top! My friends and I have been known to get together for spam nights! Thanks for the post and for getting me ready for my vacation!

Snapshots from Vietnam: Cháo Lòng, Awfully Good Offal

Cathy, nice post and lovely pics! My folks always made chao ga (chicken porridge) for my siblings and I when we had a cold - so it's very much a comfort food to me. I was never a big fan of the congealed blood (huyết), but it could be that I should re-taste it as an adult ;) Oh, and what's not to love about carb on carb action of the fried dough (giò cháo quẩy) in the porridge? Mmmm...feed me now!

Not too many restaurants in San Francisco offer this fine dish...wish they would.

Best Fish Tacos in San Diego

I'm also a native San Diegan and love that you put together this list! I've been to El Zarape but I haven't tried their fish tacos yet. If you go, add some lobster dishes to your group's selection -- they're awesome!

'Top Chef' Sodoku

Got it. I finished the easy level but I'm not going to attempt the advanced...I'm already feeling a bit dizzy. I'm a big sodoku fan as well as a top chef fan but the combination is much more difficult. Tip: choose nine pictures that are very different like the curly haired guy with glasses on the green background is an easy one to spot.

Adam, try pomelo's. They're the sweeter, juicier friend of the grapefruit. Nice chart.

When I'm stressed I crave Chinese take-out. "American-Chinese" food that is. Specifically, any chicken dish that is breaded, deep fried, and coated with a sweet, spicy glazey sort of sauce! General Tso's or sesame chicken type dishes. The oily, battered, sticky, yumminess of this less than healthy dish comforts and soothes my soul =)

Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'

Where do I start...with my dad and my stepmom, my mom, my uncle - Gioi, my aunt - Lien...the list goes on and in truth I haven't stopped learning. I love asking people how they prepare meals and I gather tips and suggestions in my everyday life and on an on-going basis.

The Art of Making Bánh Tét

This makes me hungry and nostalgic. My dad makes this every year (actually banh chung http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banh_chung, the square version) and shares stories of how his mom (my grandma who I never had the pleasure of meeting) painstakingly spent days making tons of cakes to give out to friends and family for Tet. I won't be making it home this year, but hopefully I can plan better next year to spend time with my dad to learn the tricks of the trade.

Snapshots From Hawaii: Spam Musubi

We went to Maui and my son had to stop and get his fix every single day that we were there along with Po'ke. We have made this musubi and we added thinly sliced avocado and egg omlet cut to size and ate it like that.......It was superlicious............

Best Fish Tacos in San Diego

not sure how Rubio's gets on the best fish taco's list. Maybe on the best fast food fish taco's. The brid in Delmar had awesome fish taco's and you could order them at the bar so you don't have to get dressed up.

In Videos: How To Peel a Kiwi

I was taught this trick by my Exec Chef years ago. People are still amazed when I show them how easy it is.

In Videos: How To Peel a Kiwi

This is good if you're needing slices for presentation purposes. (And new to me!)

But the easiest way to eat a kiwi is just to slice it in half and scoop it out with your spoon.

Grocery Ninja: Pomelos aka the Answer to 'What on Earth Is That?'

Thank you SO much for this article! Having never had one, I enjoyed your story helping me define this jumbo mysterious citrus fruit. Shortly after reading this, I saw a pomelo in Whole Foods. The peeling of the fruit can be a bit laborious, but is worth every bit! The way the juice was misting from the fruit's pith as I peeled it, the scent with which it filled the apt. (even unpeeled, it's pretty yummy scented!) & the light citrusy flavor was amazing! I bought another 1 the next time I went to Whole Foods. For now on when I see this delicious fruit, there will always be 1 in my bag to take hm.!!! Thx SO much!

Oh, we get it all right. Beyond *offal* mystery meat likely to be literally swept off the factory floor, (is there anyone who hasn't yet seen that USDA video on slaughterhouses?) forced upon trusting islanders by the military industrial complex that took over their islands. Just because some company hired chemists to create an addicting concoction of flavors to mask highly questionable 'food' doesn't make it something you want to put in your body. That's what we 'get'.

After eating a few cans worth of Spam musubi (they're too easy to make!) it did start to wear me down, but the first few were AWESOME!!!

Man I wanna go to Hawaii so badly.

Even though I grew up in So Cal, I grew up with Spam (happens when you're Filipino) and all kinds of other islander goodies. I think I'll head out to L & L's for dinner tonight...

Best Fish Tacos in San Diego

To JeremyPB; 100 miles north of SD sounds like you are probably in L.A. I too am from San Diego, North County actually, and am now in L.A as well. You may already know about it, but if you are looking for fish tacos up here, try Tacos Baja Ensenada. IMO, better than anything SD had when I lived there. Might be worth a shot. A bit divey, but many swear by their cuisine.

'Top Chef' Sodoku

Meh it's kinda confusing but I like it.

Another game that Top Chef fans would like is at http://www.fafarazzi.com/topchef

You pick 3 contestants and get points for things they do in an episode, fight, win challenges, etc. It's fun!

I agree with and appreciate his distinction of the seeded and seedless grapes.
I wish he had added lichees...high taste, slightly difficult...hmm, reminds me of someone I know...lol.

'F*** Grapefruit'

Unfortunately, I was just prescribed Vytorin yesterday, so I can't eat the two grapefruit I bought on Sunday.

I think that durian far surpass grapefruit as being the most untasty and difficult fruit, any day. They're covered in spikes!

'F*** Grapefruit'

My drawing would be lopsided, with all but 3 on the top line of the upper right quadrant. Just below would be pears and plums. I'd leave pomegranates exactly where they are.

From Serious Eats

'F*** Grapefruit'

I think that the judgments are rather subjective... especially for the taste axis. I would easily put bananas higher, and both apples lower... still that's just me.

Oh yeah FeedMe mentioned pomeloes. They really are sweeter, and juicier than grapefruits. There's some folk wisdom around our place though that advises not eating too much pomelo at one seating (gastrointestinal distress, maybe?).

'F*** Grapefruit'

Adam and Ed, have you tasted the Cara navel oranges that have been at Fairway and other local markets recently? It's a very juicy, very sweet navel orange with a reddish fruit and just the slightest hint of grapefruitiness.

I had to give up grapefruits and their juice when I went on lipitor a couple of years ago. I used to have one or the other or both every day, so these are a nice substitute. Even a GF hater like you might like them, Adam, although I still wonder if you've ever had a really good GF.

A very expensive meal at a sushi bar... or a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup. Guess which one I usually eat?
