I like sharing when we share, I like eating my own food when we don't. It really is that easy.

I made the cheese balls from her TV episode with Amy Sedaris where she cooked with A-1, aka bong water, except I decided to use real bong water and never got around to the recipe and just ate a pound of cheese.

You know what else is wrong? Starting wars that nobody wants to fight, America's Next Top Model, tank tops on men, fanny packs, and the entire mySpace community.

On the grand scale of crimes against humanity, this registers barely a blip.

Methinks there's a backlash against Mrs. Seinfeld because she's Jerry wife (not that there's anything wrong with that). Are we going to reserve similar venom for the Middle East's pulverization of the chickpea into hummus? Is spanakopita just a trojan horse for spinach? Are we getting the vah-pours and clutching our pearls because V-8 Splash has carrot juice?

Face it, kids are picky little bastards. In a perfect world, you'd want your kid to enjoy braised cardoons and beet carpaccio all the while reading Proust and expanding the tenets of string theory, but sometimes you just want the petulant knave to eat something and go to bed so you can drink some strong Belgian ale and play your Wii in peace. Sheesh.

Waygu beef tenderloin from cows that have been blessed with an easy life of Belgian blonde ale and pasture pornography.

It's much easier to hit the local Vietnamese market and pick up a can of French pate. That's what we always ate growing up - and most banh mi places use the canned stuff. I imagine in DC there's a few markets, if not (most definitely) in Northern VA.

Sliced avocado, stacked in a mold with crab meat, topped with microgreens and a colorful sauce/dressing from a squirt bottle, and you've got an instant crowd pleaser.

I see it as the barriers to entry have changed or morphed. Instead of toiling in low-level editorial jobs or knowing someone who knew someone, these people instead used their own gumption to build readership and a voice, which was then noticed.

Arguing whether or not their respective voices deserve to be heard is a another discussion altogether, but one that could — and should IMO (with much more regularity) — be applied to "traditional" media voices as well.

I'd hit that burger. I assume the mayo adds around 15 grams of fat and 140 calories or so, and considering I don't ever do mayo on a burger, it's not that much of a gut bomb.

Vitello Tonnato gets my vote for most level-headed post yet on Serious Eats.

I would try any place that serves meat.

K-Y warming gel and crystal meth.

China is a very large country. People there everyday eat food and are alive.

A few unscrupulous industrialists have gamed the system, and the FDA allowed them to do this.

You can't lay the blame on 1.2 billion's people's doorsteps.
