Yes, that well kept secret of tacos. A crunchy taco shell.

At first I was like...Hey! Where's the beets? And then I read the post and realized they were those gorgeous yellow kind. Beets are a much varied and beautiful thing.

I have two WF stores very near me for most of my work and school. I go for lunch and usually cringe at what I pay, but I find that I can still cook meals for multiple people at home affordably and with good quality ingredients. It's just that damn salad bar at lunch that kills me, I can spend $9 for lunch on myself or $15 for an awesome dinner at home for 4 people.

Totally cliche and yet still totally true: there are pizzas, and there is Pepe's. The original in New Haven is still like something else entirely, something that transcends pizza-dom and just becomes something so delicious it's almost other worldly. I turn into a drooling, inarticulate eating machine as soon as I enter the doors.

I don't think I'd care. There's enough other things to worry about, I might find it slightly annoying or something but I doubt it would really bother me.

What did used to drive me nuts was in school. There was a class I took a few years ago, one of my classmates ate a full meal every other class. It was crazy. I mean have some snacks or a soda or whatever but she would come to class with containers full Mexican takeout. Totally distracting.

Raphael, you're dancing around the SE offices right now, jamming to that video...

Aren't you? lol

YTMND got to it: Makes my taco pop.

This is really insane. I can't believe this is on Serious Eats.

@joanpieroni - we have beautiful candy stripe beets right here in ny state.... but maybe it's easier to get them shipped from california.

migliorelli farm in dutchess county grows the candystripe, along with white and yellow beets. all varieties are extremely delicious.

your salad sounds delicious btw. love the combination of orange & olive oil myself.

I watched the whole season of The Next Food Network Star, and thought either Lisa or Adam deserved to win. When Aaron won I was blown away. His first episode was lousy and not innovative AT ALL! At least Lisa and Adam brought something different to the table...Lisa's class and expertise and Adam's fun-loving goofy-hip talent. Lisa is the kind of person I would watch, just to aspire to her level. Sure, she's a little odd but interesting and intelligent. I like the quirkiness of her fine clothes and super type A personality. I'd also watch Adam because he's so darn entertaining. I hope the FN doesn't stomp out his personality by giving him a stupid show concept. I think he had the chops to do a cooking show, even if Bobby Flay didn't "believe" in his culinary knowledge. (Bobby is the self appointed all-knowing food God or something!) Go Adam! And as for Lisa, she' probably too classy for the FN anyway.
