David Chang Is So Stressed Out
I completely agree, OneWallKitchen. I feel stressed now, someone pour me a drink. And get me some noodles. :)

Are these the new MRE's? Because I remember seeing something about the whole menu being revamped with better food. Curious if this is what's considered "better."
Good job, Ed. Going on vacation to Spain, or anywhere, is normally an excuse to really indulge in good food and pack it on -- unless you really hoof it everywhere, which balances it out.
Oranges in Seville. Noted.
Nice to meet you! Thanks for introducing me to the idea of a table of food brought to you -- I have a new goal. Why hasn't this caught on this the US? :)
Fontina, roast turkey, arugula, random crusty bread. :)
I like it crisp. I usually use chopped maple bacon in my potato salad recipe, which doesn't include any eggs or onions. It goes over pretty well.
My favorite is a 4-cheese lasagne with béchamel sauce. It uses fontina, parmigiano reggiano, mascarpone and ricotta cheeses with walnuts for texture and additional flavor.
It's really amazingly amazing! I think I'll make it tomorrow night -- you know, after a lazy Sunday.
Emily Koh's friends love going to Emily for all of their food outing recommendations :)
Ain't it the truth, foodinmouth.
Well I, for one, am glad he's this neurotic and fearful as long as it stays at a level where he can still function, perform, and find happiness when appropriate. A little neuroses and fear within the sphere of your career is good when you're still young, no matter how successful you've already become. It'll push him to keep reaching higher and farther and we, as diners, will only benefit from that. Plus, if fear and anxiety are what created the delights at Momofuku Ko, then by all means, keep it up, Chang.

At least they don't have military chocolate any more : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_chocolate .
"The New Yorker" never puts its freelance writers' works online. It has to do with their allowing the writers to keep their copyrights.
MREs may not be so good, but the MRE heaters are kinda cool!
I wonder if Pellegrino makes them taste better ...
Don't forget Sicilian blood oranges and Bartlet pears,,,roast your own almonds and walnuts as well....
Ed, I know Seville. I lived about 60 miles from that city from '68 to '74
and the tapas were top notch as well as the sit down meals. Had to watch
what I ate to avoid getting obese even though I was in my early 30's back
then. I am also familiar with Lisbon having vacationed there in 2002. I
agree that it is difficult to get a good meal there if you are not Portuguese.
Most of the major offerings are uniquely keyed to native tastes which are
difficult to assimilate to as a foreigner.
glad you enjoyed the city!!! it really is the best. and that orange blossom smell...truely wonderful!
pluots at Fairway - a typical 5 oz pluot has 80 calories
spain is awesome, but im kinda surprised they let you pick out your own oranges! every place i went to picked them out for you. hope you can find a replacement snack here...i have been hooked on the little minneola tangerines with a few roasted almonds.
