Awkward Moments With Paula Deen
My boyfriend would leave me for Paula in a heartbeat.
I wonder if this will change his mind or speed up his departure.

Molly's, yeah!
But in the interest of not just being a parrot... I'm rather fond of The Old Town Bar's burger.
And... Molly's!
They both make me a little angrier than I should be at people I don't know. And I'd never buy a pre-chopped onion, but for Pete's sake it's the one vegetable I can think of that is actually miserable to chop!
Bad example, Tony. Pick on something that doesn't bring me to tears to prepare.
Twitter makes my brain hurt. Am I that old?
Ergh, not that India isn't in Asia, or anything like that.
I'm fond of anything and everything with Chinese Broccoli, especially Pad See Il/Euw.
All the best vegetarian dishes I can think of happen to be Indian or Asian. Why is that?
I always cringe when people insist that MSG is affecting them after eating. Didn't we disprove this a long time ago?
Finally, the book I'm afraid to win! Please, don't pick me!
The best I can do is chopped liver. I'm a wimp; this stuff scares me! I think of what my grandparents ate and loved, and I'm embarrassed at my own reluctance.
Then again, I don't feel at all limited by the parts I will eat, so there's that.
Enjoy your offal, everybody. I'm backing away slowly...
One of my favorite things is seeing Dachshunds dressed as mustarded up hot dogs. Nothing about a baby lobster bothers me.
In fact, I'd consider borrowing someone's baby just to dress it up like a lobster. Well, no.
Whataburger (the Texas chain)
I love hamburgers and never miss a chance to try a new one and never had a hamburger I didn't like. I read about hamburgers from all over the world.
But I never enjoy any hamburger at any price as much as a Whataburger. If I eat a Whataburger and nothing else I don't care if I eat another thing the rest of the day.
The Black Angus burger at Stoudt's brewpub in Adamstown PA is sublime. It's all about the bakery fresh roll baked on-premise
what a dumb article. if you are so concerned with the inhumane treatment of pigs. get out in the street and do something. dont just write bitchy articles. i feel like the idiot because i actually read it.
I'm a Tony fan, I have Kitchen Confidential and His, Les Halles cookbook. Tony is a ass, he knows he's one, you and I know he's one--so why so surprised he mentioned R.R? I cook from scratch too, always have even as a single mom.
Personally I think pre-chopped onions or diced garlic taste odd, ...and odd is not good flavor. They put preservatives on those things and they alter the flavor.
Tony is a classically trained chef so he expects his peers or people who impersonate his peers to cut up the onion all by themselves. Simple as that. He's not going to rag the home cook, with kids underfoot. Okay he might...but he's going for the jugular on some of these tvcooks.
Pony, try cooking somethings on the weekend like a chicken or roasting some vegtables for a dish you'll use later on, so that you can cook more easily on the weekdays. I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time getting past that your husband "INSIST" at a 7 p.m. meal. I say tell him to help, and it would be easier on you.

Thanks Fillippelli! I started to look for options to Food Network shows when they ran the Smithfield Farms ads. PBS has an incredible line up with great chefs and cultural insights.
Paula Dean's deal with Smithfield is, in every sense, reprehensible. Smithfield is a massive polluter whose factory farms in North Carolina and elsewhere are environmental disasters. If you're unfamiliar with them, read this recent Rolling Stone article and you'll get a better feel for how slimy this company really is.
Do yourself a favor, find some local farmers who raise pastured pigs, and buy their pork products. I guarantee you they will taste better than any pork product you can get in the grocery store, many of which come from Smithfield, and you will know that you aren't supporting companies who trash the environment and make the people who are unfortunate enough to live near their factory farms very sick.
Love The Burger Joint in Le Parker Meridien Hotel (W57th St)!! It's in the lobby but is hard to find. Look for the neon burger sign to lead you down the hallway. Nothing fancy - very pub-like.
