Serious Eats: Neodymium's Profile

Who amongst us, has the best pickiest eater story?

My little brother was a very picky eater when we were growing up, all he would eat is beef flavoured two minute noodles, and peanut butter on toast. I think that it was psychological as the family was in a lot of turmoil and it was possibly the only place he could establish control. He's fine now though. If children are very picky eaters I think some time with a child therapist would often be beneficial.

Is there one thing you must order if you see it on a menu?

Prawn (shrimp) cocktail (I'm especially interested in getting it at fancier restaurants & seeing the variations they've made with it) and suckling pig. Fried calamari is up there too.

@BreweRepublic
Who are you to define what burgers are or are not? Perhaps you find the "lectures" "too much" but there are many others that don't.

Pulino's: The Nation's First Breakfast Pizzeria

Here in Australia egg on a pizza is not uncommon, likewise an "Aussie" burger will have an egg and a slice of beetroot (pickled beet). I love eggs in pretty much anything, especially if there's tomato sauce (ketchup) involved! :)

Tackling the Five-Pound Giant Hamburger at Ed Walker's Drive-In Restaurant in Fort Smith, AR

What do you mean the bottom bun is "attached by sheer gravity"? That doesn't make sense?

McDonald's Sweet Chili Sauce for Chicken McNuggets: How Does It Taste?

In Australia we always have this at McDonalds. KFC as well. We don't have "duck sauce" anywhere though. However, we do have "plum sauce" at some Chinese restaurants which I have read is the basis for the "duck sauce" thing.
