French in a Flash: Rustic Roast Duck with New Potatoes, Sugar Snaps, and Spring Onions
... better to eat, even. Ha!
French in a Flash: Rustic Roast Duck with New Potatoes, Sugar Snaps, and Spring Onions
This was just fantastic to read. I bet it'll be even better to read. Thanks so much.
That's Nuts: Is Kung Pao Chicken Authentic?
Authenticity bores me. I enjoy things that taste good and use their ingredients properly.

AHT Poll: What's Your Favorite Mass Market Burger Chain?
Couldn't vote in good conscience because Whataburger isn't there (which makes sense, it's a regional chain.)

Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table
Pancotto, the bread soup of Puglia (Apulia.) Bread stewed with tomatoes, green veg and, of course, lots of garlic, olive oil and chili.
Substandard Sliders at Fern's White Diamond and Better Burger in New Jersey
Looks awful, that slider from White Diamond. The beef looks like it's been cut into a flower shape and left in a pit of lukewarm fat for a week.
AHT Poll: How Do You Like Your Buns Done?
Count it as buttered, I should say.
AHT Poll: How Do You Like Your Buns Done?
A very, very small amount of toasting. Do we count the oil used by fast food chains? Coz, to be honest, I love that shit.
Burger from Standard Tap in Philadelphia
The onions look ridiculous. Didn't they overpower it?
Chart of Big Burgers from Chain Restaurants
Excuse my ignorance, but the agencies who came up with these... did they develop the recipe, or do the restaurants bring them the recipe and tell them to promote it? How does this work, exactly?
Sneak Peek: Bill's Bar and Burger, Meatpacking District, NYC
Can someone explain exactly how smash grilling works? It seems to be very popular. I see it was described as what Steak & Shake do... I'm really not a fan of Steak & Shake, as I find their product to be too greasy.
McDonald's Coming to the Louvre Next Month
It's so weird. French people stereotypically are said to hate McDonalds but I have never seen so many McDonalds in one small urban area as I have in Nantes.
Hamden, Connecticut: A Half-Century of Charbroiling at the Glenwood Drive-In
The balance of tomato and onion to beef looks all wrong to me.
One of L.A.'s Best Burgers at Rustic Canyon in Santa Monica
This is the best write-up I've seen on here in weeks. Great work - and what looks like a great burger. Twice-fried fries look awesome too.
J. G. Melon
The bacon coming in 'shards' is a really good idea. I'm surprised more places don't do it.
Zaharakos: A Wonderful Trip Back in Time with Burgers and Floats in Columbus, Indiana
This is a really good post but... can we stick to burgers?
Burger Nirvana at David Burke's Primehouse in Chicago
Truffle fries, give me strength.
Burger looks awesome, though. I don't think I've ever seen a 40-day aged burger.
Almost got through a whole review without a ketchup jab, maybe next time :)
The 'Hamburger' Was Not Invented in Athens, Texas
Excellent work, particularly regarding a Texas food museum - something long overdue.
Grilled: Daniel Zemans, Chicago Correspondent
Oh great! Another ketchup snob. Enjoy your blue cheese with a bit of beef underneath.
AHT Poll: What Drink Goes Best With a Burger?
It's got to be beer - a lager or pilsner at that.
Sneak Peek: Bill's Bar and Burger, Meatpacking District, NYC
OK, this Bostonian be in the Meatpacking District/Chelsea for one afternoon next weekend, and cannot decide whether to go to Bill's or Shake Shack for a burger.
I'm leaning toward SS. Anybody want to convince me otherwise?
Thanks!
Burger from Standard Tap in Philadelphia
From my experience (I was a 5-year Philly resident), there are only 3 really good burgers in the city
1. Sabrina's Cafe (910 Christian St.)
2. Caribou Cafe (1126 Walnut St.)
3. Triumph Brewing Company (117 Chestnut St.)
I don't know who told you that you'd get a good burger at Standard Tap... that place has an OK beer selection (better off at The Foodery around the corner), and the food is pretty average.
