Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
The Palace Burger Royale at Seattle's Palace Kitchen.
Hand-ground beef, grilled to medium rare. Topped with bacon and Beecher's Flagship cheese.
With each bite, I cry a single tear...so, so good.
Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
I ate nothing but tacos for 4 straight days in La Paz, Mexico. Chorizo, steak, and the freshest seafood pesos can buy.
Cook the Book: ''Wichcraft'
One sandwich stuffed with two other sandwiches.

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Salisbury steak, gravy and homemade french fries. The fries must be shaken in a brown paper bag.

Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company: Home of the Pizza Pot Pie
There's a place in Seattle called Wallingford Pizza House that's been doing pizza this way for years. They call them pizza domes. In fact, their slogan is "Home of the Dome."
I wouldn't necessarily consider them Chicago pizzas but they're pretty good nonetheless.
Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'
Pain au lait, especially in form of...dinner rolls!
Weekend DVD Giveaway: 'Bottle Shock'
Smell of soil and earth
The tantalizing tannins
Drink and be merry!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

2007 Most Serious Eater Award: Call for Entries
I'd like to nominate Seattle chef Tom Douglas who provides us with 5 restaurants (and a bakery) from which to get some truly serious eats. His menus change based on what is in season and each location offers something different and delicious.
In addition, he has written several books, hosted a culinary camp, and opened a venue a few years back for hosting private events. I met him briefly once and he is a down-to-earth, nice guy.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
In the Seattle area, there's a place off the beaten path called the OK Corral. Just ask for "the Hook Up" for some ridiculous good eats.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Are you kidding me?! I sleep on a bed of bacon!
Crispy, of course.
Eating in Vegas
I'll second the Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay. You get to pick your meat and choose from a ridiculous amount of toppings including lobster and even foie gras for the adventurous.
Another hidden favorite is Ellis Island. It's an old casino off the strip but they have awesome bbq ribs for under $10 and they brew their own beer for $1/pint.
Cook the Book: 'Savory Bread From the Mediterranean'
When I was a kid, I used to tear the crust off Wonder Bread and flatten it into a pancake. It was ten kinds of delicious.
Now I tear into pieces of fresh garlic naan and onion kulcha. And foccacia. Oh and hot, handmade tortillas. Heck, if it's bread and it's flat, I'm in!
Food Lovers' Guide to Portland, Oregon: Add Your Own Favorites
Meriwether's is a must. They use seasonal ingredients so while the menu may change, the service and food are consistently fantastic. I've never had a bad experience here and make it a point to stop in for a meal whenever I'm travelling from Seattle.

Cook the Book: 'The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook'
Chicken fried steak, double portion of fried okra with an extra side of country gravy. And I always save a space under my ribcage for a heaping dish of banana pudding.
Cook the Book: Taming the Flame
Any grill that gets a taste of my tongs.
Cook the Book: 'Texas Cowboy Cookbook' Giveaway
I trek back to my hometown in Texas and then fly back to the Great Northwest with a suitcase packed with Wolf Brand Chili. By the time I get back, my own chili is finally done simmering and I chow down on the best of both worlds. The battle is fierce - twice the chili against one man - but I prevail. Next time, I'm making cornbread.
