SE Staff Picks: Our Detox Foods

You all know alchohol is a toxin right? So if you take "detox" in its literal sense then actually it's not far off base, as a lot of holiday indulgences include alcohol...

But, I couldn't say it better than @Kerosena - the term is not meant to be taken literally!

Minneapolis: Dull Flavors Trump the Hype at Black Sheep

Wow, I need to come out to NYC and try some real pizza I guess. I like Black Sheep. I think it's good for what we have in the Twin Cities though, there's only a handful of Neapolitan (and coal oven) style pizzerias around here.

@goppenheim glad I'm not the only one who thought so! No thanks. I like the King better than this...

Yea or Nay: Coffee and Hamburgers

Eh why not. Especially if I'm having a burger for breakfast - which I will do once I find a place that serves breakfast at 8am!

USA Today's '51 Great Burger Joints'

Disappointed with Minnesota's pick. Minnesota always gets poor representation when it comes to burgers.

McDonald's Hamburger Barely Changes After Sitting Out for 137 Days

I'm sure lots of things look like that after 137 days. No bigs.

Hidden gems of the cereal isle...

Kashi is getting a lot of love here. I really like the Kashi heart to heart cereal. Bear Naked is also great. Very healthy, tasty and filling.

Bedtime Hunger

I can't sleep if I go to bed hungry, so I'll eat a snack if I'm feeling hungry. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night HUNGRY and I get up and eat a piece of cheese. I think that happens when I don't eat much during the day, eat a lot for dinner, and then during the night my blood sugar crashes. Or maybe I just like cheese :)

The Trouble With Food Travel

Absolutely. That's part of what makes traveling such a special experience. If I could have everything at home that I've experienced when I've traveled it wouldn't be inspiring, or profound, or memorable. I don't often go back to places I've visited either, and I try not to be disappointed about not being able to have ____ again, because I know I'll have something just as special/great in a new place!

Thoughts on Culinary School?

Don't go. It's REALLY expensive and while it teaches good technical skills it doesn't do any good if you don't have practical experience. To be a chef you have it or you don't. Get some cooking / restaurant experience FIRST - and if he still wants it and can handle it then he should be able to advance his career by going to school, if need be. But many many chefs just work their way up. The culinary world is not like the corporate world. You don't need a degree.

AHT Poll: Have You Sent Back Burgers for Not Being Cooked to Your Requested Doneness?

This happens to me ALL the TIME (I usually go medium), so I usually tell the server so that they are aware. Sometimes they don't care, sometimes the manager comes out (and comps something), sometimes the server convinces me to send it back. But I never want to wait for another order to come out, unless it's absolutely horrible or expensive (for a $10+ burger I'd expect it to come the way I ordered it).

Grown-ups should not eat SpaghettiOs

OH come on. I'm actually a pretty snobby foodie - maybe so snobby that I admit that I love Spaghetti-o's and Chef Boyardee ravioli. You just gotta have it once in awhile.

Don't think you're too good.

AHT Poll: How Many Burgers Do You Eat Per Week?

I said one a week, though when I make burgers at home I usually have leftover meat so I end up eating burgers two or three times that week. But I don't eat a burger every single week, so it all evens out.
