Manhattan Special Espresso Coffee Soda

My local bagel shop in Austin carries it and I bought a bottle to try a couple of weeks ago. However, it's still sitting in my refrigerator. I like a Topo Chico with my espresso, so I'm thinking I'll like this.

And I love the idea of a faux-affogato with it!

What's Your Favorite Mexican Soda?

Does Topo Chico count? I drink 2 cases of plain, 6oz. bottles of Topo Chico a week. It's a very expensive habit but one I refuse to give up. I also like the hint of lime Topo, but they don't sell it in the 6oz. bottles by the case.

Thanksgiving: What's Your Stuffing Approach?

Growing up it was always Pepperidge Farm bag made into patties and cooked on a cookie sheet as well as a batch done in the bird. I'd only eat the patties.

Now that I'm older, I admit to having never made stuffing/dressing as someone else always seems to do it. My favorite is cornbread and I'm going to give it a shot this year, so send me some good recipes please!

Cook the Book: Pan Sauce for Roasted Chicken

I've followed this to the letter using my cast iron skillet twice now and have had fantastic results and no loss on my non-stick patina. It does take more like 20-25 minutes to do the sauce, but it's totally worth it.

A Sandwich a Day: Lucky's Puccia in Austin, TX

I tried Lucky's for the first time the other day. They are, indeed, delicious. My only problem is the price. It's kind of insane for a sandwich of that size when I can get something close at Whole Foods across the street for less.

We Sit Down with Alton Brown

@DingleberryPiez-- I used to like him a lot, but like @gamingwithbaby, he really turned me off later. And doing things like attaching the pasta machine to the ironing board? So much for not uni-taskers eh AB? It just got ridiculous.

I met him briefly at a book signing and that's what turned me off of him for good. He was, quite frankly, a pompous ass. Then I read his article about his rules for signings and now I can't stand the guy (and no, I didn't violate any of his rules when I met him). A little too big for his britches me thinks. However, my uncle, who's good friend works for him, says he's a wonderful guy. So what do I know?

Ferran Adrià's Roasted Chicken

@MikeK I'm with you. There's no way I'm throwing that out. It's the first thing I eat when I pull a roast chicken from the oven. Chef's treat for sure!

That being said, I did Rhulman's on Monday night (been doing it for years, though the Keller version) and the rustic pan sauce. I wish we weren't using the leftovers tonight or I'd be going to get another bird and doing this tonight!

Oh well, there's always tomorrow...

Cook the Book: Perfect Roasted Chicken

I'm also a fan of the Keller recipe. We do it pretty close to once a week, using leftovers to make other stuff, like Chicken Pitas with feta and olives.

The Best Way To Eat Breakfast at McDonald's

I have always done this with the Sausage McMuffin. Ordered without egg, and add the hashbrown on the sandwich. Yum.

I also do it with the Whataburger sausage and cheese biscuit. They have hashbrown sticks and 3 fit perfectly on the sandwich.

Coffee Profile: Cuvee Coffee in Austin, Texas

Hands down my favorite coffee anywhere. We can get Inteligentsia here, I've had friends ship me Stumptown, and I've sent them Cuvee. It's the best there is. We brew it at home and we tend to patron Once Over (an amazing coffee shop in Austin, mentioned above).

I can only hope that more and more people get familiar with the wonderful beans of Cuvee nationwide. It beats anything else I've had by a mile.

Market Scene: Downtown Austin Farmers' Market

We got some burgers from Dai Due a couple of weeks ago that were venison, bacon and caramelized onion, all ground together to make 4 4oz. patties.

We had them with the Dai Due Fireman's 4 (a local beer) mustard, gruyere, arugula and a little mayo. While I wish we'd combined two patties to make two 1/2 pound burgers, they were still some of the best I've had.

Reality Check: Wendy's Bacon Mushroom Melt

Agreed.

Wendy's used to have a Mushroom Swiss burger in the late 80s that I adored. It would come around upon occasion then disappear for a while. I missed it so, but then they provided me with this and I nearly forgave them.

San Antonio: How to Make Puffy Tacos

That's it, I'm making ManPartner go get puffy tacos for dinner tonight. There's a place up the street from us that has the most amazing stewed, shredded chicken puffy tacos in the world.

That being said, I need to get down to SA to try these.

How To Grill a Gigantic Rib-Eye Steak

Wait, so I've been doing it wrong all these years? First, I use a gas grill. I'm too lazy for charcoal. Second, I have basically adapted the Alton Brown iron skillet method to the grill.

The steak sits out, salted, for around an hour. Then I sear over high heat, then move to another part of the grill and turn the heat down for about 3 minutes. Rest for about 10-15 minutes and I get perfect medium rare every time.

This makes a lot of sense though, so I'm going to try it next time I make a steak.

Dinner Tonight: Sweet Potato and Gruyère Turnovers

We just finished these for dinner. They were so easy and we really enjoyed them. I bet you could make a batch or two of them and then just put them in the freezer so you could pop them in the oven when you wanted one.

East Side King: Beet Fries and More from a Food Cart in Austin

I'm so happy to see this on SE. This is not only my favorite food cart in Austin, but probably one of my top 5 places to eat (two of the others? Uchi and Uchiko) in Austin. The pork buns at East Side King are directly on par with Momofuku and they should be...Qui staged with Cheng. I wish this place were brick and mortar, or at least, open for lunch because I often crave it when it's not available to me...you know, like Chick-Fil-A on Sundays.

36 Hours in New Orleans: Where to Eat

I love Drago's and Pascal Manale so much. I'm trying to get The Man to agree to an eatin' trip this fall or next spring. August and Cochon are the top two on our agenda, as well as Vietnamese since we hear that it's one of the largest populations in the country.

Poll: Did You Take Home Ec in High School?

Mid-80s middle school I know I took home-ec and shop. I remember sewing pre-cut surfboards, but that's all I remember (I remember making coasters in shop). We moved to a different state when I was a sophmore in HS and all the other kids took driver's ed in the morning, but I had taken it at my old school so I took a class called "Microwave Magic". The only thing I remember from that class was making chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese icing from a box and can one Friday. In 11th grade, I took Adult Living which was balancing a checkbook, paying bills and budgeting. I only remember having to write a letter to myself that the teacher mailed to us 5 years later.
