Baked Mochi. It's best when it is a little bit warm but fine at room temperature as well.

Wow - this is unbelievably detailed and meticulous research. I like the Mizza...I want it now!
Sunday Brunch, No Waiting: Bar Stuzzichini
I go here all the time - so easy and so good. My favorites are the Orechiette with caulfilower...simple but lovely in flavor and textures with the breadcrumbs. Also, if you go for lunch they have a sausage "burger" - they form a burger patty from a variety of sausages and serve with a finely chopped onions and peppers. Get it with the potato croquettes (kind of like Ore-Idas but perfect)

New England Clam Chowder: Awesome or gross?
Awesome - I've had in two forms. The most common is very thick, glutinous and best when crammed with clams or fish and potatoes. The other, however, I've only had at Champlain's in Point Judith, RI. It is basically clam broth (real, intense pure clam broth) with super-super fresh clams and small bits of potato and then cream added. It is terrific but probably dependent on getting the clams right off the adjoining clamboats.
Man Bites Dog: Serious Critic Reviews a Chain Restaurant
Although I agree that there are quite good meals to be had at upscale chains - I had a particularly memorable fried loup with a lovely half bottle of sancerre once at the legal seafoods in Logan airport - I don't think that these restaurants need to be reviewed. The entire point of these high end chains - just like low end chains - is that they are serving a predictable meal. You should be able to have the same experience at the Legal's in Faneuil Hall as the one in Philly as the one in Palisades Mall. What purpose would a review serve? Quality control? Yup - same as the one in Boston, check. Independent restaurants, on the other hand, are presenting a new experience and a review is necessary to interpret this experience and guide the diner...and the restauranteur.

Slow poached, massaged octopus. So tender. Wow.

This question is like asking to choose between children!
If I had to choose just one dish as my favorite in all Japanese cuisine, it would be the pairing of hot, steamy salted edamame with a cold quality sake. That would be perfection.

Top Ten Crazy Asian Pizza Crusts
I was in Korea this past summer and I ate at both Mr. Pizza and Pizza Hut. I can say that Mr. Pizza's Hanchi Gold is vastly superior to Pizza Hut's Rich Gold (the Hanchi Gold has squid! And twice as much sweet potato mousse!). What was stranger than the pizza though was the fact that Mr. Pizza was marketed towards women --- as health food!
