Favorite bottled BBQ Sauce?

Stubbs and Sweet Baby Ray's are both available in major supermarkets in the Boston area. My Tennessee-raised SO prefers the Stubbs of the kinds we can get up here; my California-grown sweet tooth prefers Ray's.

What's the deal with whole wheat Krispy Kremes?

At a mere 10% fewer calories (180 as opposed to 200), it's got a long way to go to persuade me that there are actual health benefits to ordering the whole wheat version as opposed to the classic. If the whole wheat flour provides more fiber, that's going to make a texture difference, and to me half the point of eating a Krispy Kreme is that it's so light and airy.

Delivery in Boston?

It's going to depend on your neighborhood what restaurants will deliver to you. Foodler.com and DiningIn.com are centralized services that will pick up food and deliver it to you from various restaurants, though there'll generally be a minimum, plus a convenience charge on top of that. Oh, and if you live near Davis Square/Powderhouse Circle, http://www.tuftslife.com/dining/ , though it appears to be down at the moment.

Otherwise, you're probably best off walking around your neighborhood and seeing what's available. What neighborhood do you live in?

Question of the Day: So you've finally started your own restaurant -- What's your signature dish?

Ice cream. All variety of flavors and textures, from pea sorbet to spumoni to mint-chocolate Dippin' Dots; everything from milk shakes to sundaes to appetizers.

Scandalous Admission from Pizza Blogger

Oh, pineapple on pizza is HEAVEN. But when ordering out, never with ham. (I'm picky about my ham, and no pizza place yet has had ham I like.) Either pineapple by itself, or with fresh halved cherry/grape tomatoes, or with bacon, or sausage, or pepperoni.

You never know what you have been missing in a great BBQ Sauce until you have tried Benny's BBQ Famous Sauce.

Benny's BBQ found the secret of what BBQ sauce lovers have been looking for years. Benny's sauce is vinegar based with, of course, their special secret ingredients making their sauce "Simply the Best."

Benny's BBQ also makes Benny's Famous Texas and Benny's Famous Peanut sauces that also enhances any BBQ on the planet.

Benny's BBQ is located in Richmond, VA and has been a Richmond tradition for over 15 years.

Visit BennysBBQonline.com and ask them to ship a bottle of one of their sauces to you.

I would stick with the more reliable delivery services:

www.diningin.com
www.takeouttaxi.com
www.eatnow.com

All the other delivery sites suck. They will make you wait at least 2 hours if not more.

My dad used to travel for work and every time he was in KC he would pick up a case of Gates BBQ sauce. Many happy summertime memories. Also like Hoboken Eddie's.

My first choice is Maull's out of St. Louis, but it's not available here in SW Florida, so I've found KC Masterpiece a suitable substitute. I'm also a big fan of Maurice's BBQ sauce from Columbia, SC.

Bob Evan's wildfire bbq sauce. Sweet and sort of spicy. Like me. :) I know you can buy bottles at the restaurants and I think I've seen it in grocery stores.

I 2nd the Famous Dave's nomination even though I've only had one sauce and I can't remember the name. I ate there for the first time last week and throughly enjoyed the beef brisket sandwich.

Will definitely try Stubbs and Sweet Baby Ray's as both, miraculously, are readily available in my area.

Excellent question, thanks for posting it!

I highly recommend Head Country BBQ Sauce made in Ponca Cty, OK. It's a small company and an offshoot of their excellent BBQ restaurant, also named Head Country. They have three varieties – regular, hickory (which I'm addicted to) and hot. They also make a killer Seasoning Rub that I use on everything from beer can chicken and grilled fish to veggies. I think it blows away any of the mass market sauces like Stubbs or Sweet Baby Rays.

My favorite brand is Sticky fingers.
The "habenero hot" is the perfect combination of spicy and sweet, perfect for grilled wings, and Carolina Sweet makes ribs taste like heaven.

I'm partial to Sweet Baby Ray's, too. Maybe the sweet-hot-tomatoey preference is California-centric? (It would be about time something around here was.) ;-P

I was a Stubb's fanatic for years, but just did a blind tasting with my wife with 3 sauces; Stubb's, Butch's Smack Your Lips BBQ Sauce and a homemade sauce. We were very surprised that Stubb's came in last, mine in the middle and Butch's was our favorite, so my choice is Butch's for now.... but I'm still working on my own!

Sorry but light and airy doesn't really describe KK to me. Last time I had them, they were like leaden sugar bombs.

Wonderful! And I loved the Snapple reference. Remember the Snapple lady? I wonder whatever happened to her...

Fabulous story! Brilliant. Inspired in any way by Michael Pollen's recent NYTsunday mag article on eating like our great grandparents?

Another vote for eggs in a basket.

this was the first dish i learned to cook, and it was called, by my children's cookbook, "the gashouse special."

I know them as Eggs in a Basket, but a friend of mine calls them Cowboy Eggs. Who knew this dish had so many different names?

"Egg in the nest"! I first had this when a post-college housemate of mine made it one morning. I'm surprised I had never seen it until that point.

This dish by any other name would still taste as awesome.

Toad in a hole!
But Adam, perhaps cage free eggs are one thing it's worth insisting on. Cruelty toward defenseless animals does not make your breakfast taste very good, even if it saves a few cents.
