Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
Bernie's Southern Bistro in Portland, Oregon makes great fried pickles and fried green tomatoes
They're Ba-ack! 'Top Chef' Gets Windy
A quick defense of Pizzeria Uno: Unlike the locations of the chain across the country, the original Chicago location is still producing excellent pizza. I prefer it to Lou Malnati's, Giordano's and Gino's East. Unfortunately, the miserable fare served at the other locations— along with that McFunster vibe— have given Uno's a bad name.

About TheMangoLassie

Location: Chicago, IL
About: I am a freelance writer, focusing primarily on business and food- and drink-related topics. My blog, "The Mango Lassie" features reviews of inexpensive eateries, recipes and other food musings.
Favorite foods: Pungent cheeses, pickles of all kinds, artisan breads, ice cream, fresh fish, traditional Spanish tapas
Last bite on earth: Wild salmon with flavorful oil olive, salt, pepper and dill

I love all of these foods, although I don't usually shell out the dough for pomegranate juice. I use turmeric in my homemade pickles. It adds pungency to these already fantastic garlic dills. As others have noted, the thing to remember about turmeric is a little goes a long way. Also, don't use plastic utensils with it unless you want to dye them yellow.
