@rainbowbrite An excellent question. Suggestions on what we should add to our morning rotation?
Wow, that crust really does look super!
@crispyduck, you should see what eating it does to your brain!
Yum! I want to try my hand at making that Highland Park poptail!
@Koffe They weren't making Scotchmallow the day we were there, but I'm told they mix equal parts honey marshmallow and butterchew caramel in their main kitchen (the room picture in the CBC pix.) Once formed, that mixture goes through the enrobing room to get coated in dark chocolate.
It really is so, so good. The sage really is venerable, and really puts this pie over the top. And as @L.A. Pizza Maven says, the addition of some of Mozza's fennel sausage doesn't hurt...
Oh Wawa. They can make even a plain old turkey hoagie taste like heaven. I can only imagine what they can do to pepperoni pizza...
Precisely right. While I usually have some measure of brand loyalty, on PB, I'm a house divided -- creamy goes to Skippy; crunchy is decidedly Jiff.
@Dcarl1 Right you are. I was told that it can go both ways--to the sweet or savory treat, but that often refers to dessert snacks, as is primarily the case at Bhan Kanom. Thanks for the clarification!
@cucumberpandan Yep! Simpang has all three of those. Do you have a go-to between Es Teler and Es Campur? Also, as a side note, I love the Es Duren (and other durian treats) while I'm actually imbibing, but then I always find that durian gets stuck on my palate for days after and I can't taste anything else...
@Foodie Fatties, depends where you are, but often the local paper's food blog has good listings...
@Mike N. Thanks for the catch. Wonder what that means for the validity of the good doctor's degree...
@Kelly Bone, wow! Great tip, that sounds like pie meets salad, which is perhaps an introduction that should have been made ages ago!
Man I love pide! So warm and good. Can't wait to go check this out! (and maybe brave making some of my own...)
Oh man that Russ & Daughters bagel pudding makes me weep.
When we moved to SC when I was a kid, my dad was so disappointed by the available franks that he had to incessantly nag Piggly Wiggly and the other grocery stores to start carrying Hebrew Nationals. But then we found Sandy's and our dog needs were met. However, I've never had the pimento cheese dog! I can't wait till my next visit to Columbia!
@SinoSoul at Ondal or Ondal 2?
I'm definitely not a fan of over-cheesed pizza, but your description of "brown blistered lattice of salty mozzarella" is so lovely that it makes me hungry anyway...
So funny, I had almost this exact same sandwich last night at Simplethings in Los Angeles -- roasted sweet potato, avocado, thin sliced apple, with a schmear of chevre spread. Served on a mighty fine pretzel roll. Some serious sweet potato sandwich synchronicity...
@Osomatic Sadly, Spitz's doner, even a la carte, is just over $6. So many great ones are...
@IchHeisse Mmmm! I love Xinjiang Uygur food. Can't wait to check it out...
Yum. Made this tonight. Was delicious, and since the grapes and sausage looked near identical once cooked, there was mystery in every bite...
How have I not been getting chopped chili on my In-N-Out? Tomorrow is a new day.

I come from a long line of New Englanders. Hearty folk who've weathered close to three centuries of blustery Maine winters. They're no fuss and no nonsense. And they like Grape-Nuts...for dessert. If that sounds a bit austere to you, don't feel sorry for them, Grape-Nuts Pudding is wicked simple to make and as comforting as any dessert you might find on your Nana's table, if your Nana was from Down East.

Though it's across the street from legendary sandwichery, Cole's, JJ Sandwich Shop in downtown Los Angeles is the sort of nondescript city deli you could easily walk by for years without ever really noticing—but then you'd miss a menu of simple, satisfying, affordable sandwiches, served in a neighborhood that tends more toward tasty-but-pricey lunch eats. Despite its modest storefront digs, the mom-and-pop shop has developed a loyal clientele who stop in not only for the menu of classic deli sandwiches, salads, and a few hot teriyaki dishes, but also for a little TLC from the quiet but affable owners, who will offer you a slice of watermelon or part of an orange while you wait for your lunch.

I suppose I should start by saying that peanut butter and jelly has never been one of my favorite sandwiches. I've always been more of a turkey or tuna girl. But this jelly roll-like loaf made of peanut butter dough and lined with jelly from My Bread by Jim Lahey looked way too delicious not to share, no matter where you stand on PB&J. More
@Calimom and @Leah B, so sorry for the confusion with the price on the Got Kosher challot. That price was for several loaves. The new slide more clearly reflects the price of the two kiddush-sized loaves pictured.
