A Bar and a Restaruant: Recs for Great Spots in New Orleans
second Cochon. great meal!
Aging Wine
I was under the impression that sweeter white wines don't age well. Is that not correct?
The Ghosts of Sex and the City
In Northern NJ you still see the Sopranos tours on a regular basis. Kind of annoying when they roll up to my tiny local ice cream joint clamoring for onion rings.

Best Foodie Moment?
8 courses at Blue Hill @ Stone Barns. They invited us to see the kitchen after the meal. It was heaven
Drink Straight Booze?
I do! Pour whiskey in glass the end. Please don't screw up my whiskey with any of that mixology nonsense.
Egg(nog)cream?
Adding seltzer will lighten eggnog but won't get you an eggcream, that's a totally different animal.
How to store opened peanut butter jar?
I store my natural peanut butter, with the lid on, in the fridge. I does get a bit hard but if you pop it in the microwave for a couple of seconds it loosens up and spreads easily.
Italian Ices
Yup, they're all over the place here, nothing special. If you want italian ice head down the shore to Strollo's
Anyone ever had Meatloaf Cupcakes?
wouldn't that just be meatballs?
Vegan sandwich ideas
make sure you use a vegan friendly bread, no eggs.
Thanksgiving Day Feast- when do you eat it?
Usually around 3.
Growing up every Sunday dinner was around 3. Then you go back for a meatball sandwich around 7-8
Enough with the writing about the superstar chefs already
I'm alway interesting in reading about what very talented, very acomplished chefs are up to. Food wouldn't be very interesting without them
Happy Hour/Drinks by MSG
Tir Na Nog is good.
Stout on 33rd.
The Flying Puck on 7th near 30th.
The Molly Wee on 8th at 30th.
But be forewarned, all of those places will be PACKED pre-show or pre-game.
Cutting Boards.
my go to board is a large plastic one with a gutter around the edge. I like the size, the feel, and the easy clean up.
Talking to strangers in restaurants about food they're eating.
Sure. all the time. It's not that hard to tell if someone will be receptive to a quick little chat, I obviously don't bother people who clearly don't want to be bothered.
Restaurant tables in the northeast tend to be pretty close together so it's not like you're yelling across the room. It actually seems kind of odd to be sitting 2 feet from another person without acknowledging their existence.
Large Wood Cutting Boards??
My mom has one like that. Her's is probably about 3ft square. She inherited it from my great grandmother. I think my grandfather made it for her. I'm patiently waiting my turn.
WORST BURGER in NEW YORK
worst grammar on Serious Eats?
Are you a serial menu changer?
I stick with the menu as presented. Someone put a lot of thought and work into it and I'm eating there because i'm interested in their point of view.
I'm also annoyed by everything "on the side" people. Just freaking eat it!
@salpico, i would be absoluetly horrified to be with someone who sent something back at Jean Georges. I can't even begin to imagine what she though was wrong.
Cereal Eats: Grape Nuts, Neither A Grape Nor a Nut—Discuss
I think you're all crazy! Eating Grape Nuts is like eating gravel, just less sweet.
Autumnal Dinner Party Ideas
I agree with @veggieout. Fall = pork to me. Maple glazed pork loin wrapped in bacon with braised red cabbage, roasted root veg and wild rice.
I was just thinking of SE talk
Overall I really enjoy the tone and varied discussion and opinions around here.
What I really really don't like are the constant "what should I call my blog?" and "Check out my blog" posts.
@hsryan, can you share your source for organic, virgin unicorn sweetbreads, sounds divine! ;p
Don't Eat This: Fried Bubblegum
i'm nauseous just thinking about that.
Need a catchy name for a food blog to register the domain
I wouldn't spend the money to register the domain if I didn't already feel strongly about the branding/name.
Traditional Guacamole Recipe
no tomatoes, vinegar or lemon (just lime for acid) for me. Add a bit of minced chilis for heat.
