AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat LaFrieda Burgers

Accidental and unchecked undercooking not detected until the burger has been fully dressed.

Cook the Book: 'The Adobo Road Cookbook'

Hamburger Helper beef stroganoff, chicken breast with boxed mashed potatoes and jarred gravy, spaghetti and pizza. So, mid-Michiganese, I guess

AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat LaFrieda Burgers

I think it was an El Reno-style burger done in my own kitchen.

Got Extra Popeye's Biscuits? Save'em For Breakfast Sandwiches

Sunrise's biscuits are a chore to eat. The biscuit-to-filet ratio isn't right. Bojangles is the truth. The spicy filet compliments the biscuit perfectly.

Maple whiskey: yes or no?

Maple whiskey? No. Cinnamon whiskey? No. Honey whiskey? No. Whiskey whiskey? Yes.

I miss Taco Bell's three-olive enchirito - what do you miss?

Not fast food, but I miss Weaver Chicken Turnovers more than anything. Little pot pies minus veggies, basically. I bet the last time they existed was 1983.

What's the best chocolate chip cookie recipe?

Every time I have tried to follow the Toll House recipe, I end up with really flat cookies. So thin you can see light through them. Chewy, but in a bad way. Haven't tried to make any since about 2005.

Cereal Rant: Why Buzzfeed Is Wrong, These Cereals Should Not Be Obliterated

Ban all blueberry-flavored cereals? But that would get rid of Blueberry Muffin Tops, and just couldn't have that. And Life and Cinnamon Life are probably the two best cereals ever. Maybe exaggerating there, but the Life brand is wonderful.

Cook the Book: 'The Chinese Takeout Cookbook'

General Tso's Chicken, but only if it ISN'T served with broccoli.

Staff Picks: The Best Things We Ate in February

I want to go to Shopsin's. Never been, but I'm dying to go someday.

Cereal Eats: What Are Your Favorite Cereals?

Hell yeah on the Blueberry Muffins Tops, PinkCupcake. That and Cinnamon Toast Crunch are best eaten dry. Also, I gave Blueberry Muffins Tops as Christmas gifts to family members a few years back, and everyone still seems to love me. As a second also, my favorite cereal ever is Team Flakes.

Licorice: Where to buy and what kind to get?

Get something Dutch. If they say they like salt licorice, then that is the way to go. I couldn't even get one piece down. Nightmare food.

Chip-Faced: We Try All the Flavors of Larry the Cable Guy's Tater Chips

Unless he is making Donner Party-flavored chips, I think his tagline of "Boy that's good eatin'!" needs a comma.

In-N-Out President Lynsi Torres is America's Youngest Female Billionaire

I love that she is three-time married and assumedly Christian based on the wording on their packaging. Keep printing those bible verses and let other people live them in your stead, Lynsi.

Valentine's Day Giveaway: Win This Prime Rib

Usually small bites. Nobody wants to get busy with a full gut.

Staff Picks: What's Your Achilles Heel in the Kitchen?

Chocolate chip cookies. I follow recipes, yet they end up spreading too much. Like you can see light through them if you hold them up. I haven't tried to make them in over a decade because they always suck.

I need a ginger substitute

I'd suggest a blonde or a brunette.

Need Help Naming My Food Blog!!1!

"Tails of a Paladin Chef." BOOM! Nailed all three!

Burger King Cuts Off Horse DNA-Contaminated Beef Supplier

They should've just said they were Gangnam-style burgers.

Best Frozen Chicken Wings?

Those Banquet wings are fabulous for frozen. They crisp up nicely, and you can absolutely douse them in hot sauce after cooking. Best of both worlds.

You are what you eat.

They call me...Totino.

End of Year Lists

Gotta say, bitching about free articles you don't have to read is pretty pointless. Is it just me, or does anyone else think it is totally absurd to expect these writers to create new content all holiday long to satisfy a couple readers who had the time to memorize every article generated in 2012?

The Joy and Economics of Cooking Pizza At Home

Dear Mr. Yglesias,
Boy, have I got a crust to pick with you. I'm talking, of course, about your post on Slate yesterday called The Folly of Cooking Pizza at Home, a post whose title alone could potentially stir up the regulars on this site to demand that you be forced, heretic-style, into the mouths of a 1,000°F converted kettle grill pizza oven. Or, at the very least, to start thinking of creative ways to repurpose their pizza cutters and baking steels. More
