It's actually even better if you use the home-made mayo recipe in the book too. If you're going to go to the trouble of frying your own chips, making your own mayo is surely worth it.

Miami is indeed trying to become a pizza town - we had a pizza crawl that covered 11 mostly new places, including Sosta, plus there are still more that came online after the crawl. There are some decent pies to be found here these days, though I'm not sure any of them are quite world class yet.

I wish I could share in your euphoria, but I tried the bagels at Brooklyn Water Bagel last week and was underwhelmed. Sure, they're superior to an Einstein's bagel or something out of the frozen section of the supermarket, but I thought they were too light and fluffy, and lacked the density and chew that I look for in a real bagel. I did a same-day taste test against one of the better long-standing South Florida bagel sources, Sage Bakery & Deli in Hallandale, and thought Sage's were still superior. BWB wasn't bad and I wish them the best of luck, but it's for my money it's not even the best bagel in South Florida, much less one that compares to a real deal bagel with a NY pedigree. So I'm still not convinced that it really is the water (though I'm sure that makes for great franchise sales material).

Here's further comments on my bagel face-off:

Pig ears can be awesome. I've had a great crispy pig ear salad at Michael's Genuine in Miami where they are fried, puffy and crispy. My 11-yr old son won't stop stealing them off the plate. I've also had a great stew of ears and trotters at an asador in Segovia. If anyone was at a disadvantage it was Pawlcyn just because tripe usually takes a long time to cook. I could have sworn at one point I heard Ludo say "I am coming for you, Ricky Bayless."

I'm glad I'm not the only one so entranced by Threadless' food-related t-shirts. I actually came up with a list of a whole bunch of them - You Got Food on Your T-Shirt There.
