The best airport restaurant I've been to is Gordon Ramsey's Plane Food in Heathrow. I had eggs benedict there with real hollandaise and medium-poached eggs. Plus, they sell lunch boxes to take on flights.

Love this series, Josh. Keep up the great work! I'd be very interested in a Chinese restaurant edition. I know you did mustard, but I'd love to see spicy Chinese mustard. Maybe also 'duck sauce.' Sweet and Sour would be very cool, too.

I can't eat a grilled cheese sandwich without jelly on top. Sometimes ham in the middle. My mom and her siblings ate this as a kid, and they named it after the afternoon show they always watched when they ate lunch: The Batman. Now me and all my cousins like our grilled cheese the same way.

@shoneyjoe, this wouldn't be a proper Boston BBQ debate if nobody mentioned Red Bones. Maybe better ribs, but Blue Ribbon, esp. the one in Newton, blows away for everything else.

Also, I'm not sure about Naked Fish in Faneuil Hall, but the one in Framingham is great.

Can you tell I used to live off the Mass Pike?

I went to Craigie on Main with a small group. It was great. At the end, they had a selection of desserts, but they chose for us. Somehow, they brought us each exactly the dessert we were hoping for! We suspected that they were paying attention to our table conversation when we talked about which one we preferred. Or maybe it's just magic. Either way, it was a very classy effect, and I'm curious is anyone else had the same experience.

Believe it or not, there's awesome BBQ in Boston, too. On your way out of town, find Blue Ribbon BBQ in Newton (also one in the city). Great, meaty BBQ, and the best side dishes of any BBQ place I've ever been.

I am SO with you, but I take issue with your claim about "fake" grape flavor. Go out and get yourself some fresh concord grapes. You'll be amazed. That's where the flavor comes from. Except for the seeds, which are tough to deal with, these are the perfect "real" grape, because they taste just like grape blow pops (my favorite grape candy).

I used to like Life cereal as a kid. Now that I'm an adult, I still really like it, but I've gotten much better at milk management to make sure it doesn't get soggy in 10 minutes. Also, I still love Count Chocula when I can find it.

I think the worst thing about Whole Foods is the fact that their prices are often difficult to find, especially in produce. When I found ramps there earlier this summer, the three employees I asked didn't even know what they were (though baby leeks was probably a close answer), nor did they know the price. And often, conventional price tags are placed near the organic produce, which is very misleading. Caveat emptor and all, but this is bordering on criminal.

Mmmmm, I miss Clyde's. I used to live near the Columbia, Md location. Nobody really went for the burgers. They have an open-face sandwich that is filet mignon on an english muffin with sprouts and hollandaise. It's freakin' awesome. Chili's good, too, though a bit sweet for my taste.

Smoke. It's all about
Wood, Apple, mesquite or oak.
Not heat, but pork fat.

I always find myself turning to Alton Brown, sometimes accidentally. Like, I accidentally did an Alton Brown Super Bowl this year.

Good to read you on Serious Eats, Josh. Let the Meatwave begin.
