Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife

I go through phases. Sometimes the 8" santoku is my favorite, and sometimes the 11" chef's knife is my go-to.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: The Sriracha Lover's Ultimate Gift Pack

Gift Guide: Food-Related Art Prints

I just ordered some gifts for myself from the Etsy shop with the meat section prints. Cool stuff. I'm not a huge art fan, but I have a few food art pieces around the house.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage, Chicken, and Steaks

I haven't been to a good barbecue place in quite a few years, but I have very fond memories of the time I ate at Gates in KC.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

I think my fondest pork memory involves the first time I made my own bacon, and realized that I was on the verge of a new obsession.

Your favorite bacon

I've been making my own for close to a year, and in my mind it's hard to beat. As with anything, the "I made it, so it must be good" thing is probably in effect. Either way, any bacon is delicious, and it is quite satisfying to make it myself.

Poll: Squash on Pizza, Way or No Way?

Whenever I make grilled pizza, I always make one with strips of grilled, marinated zucchini. Grilling leaves it fairly crisp, but takes a lot of the moisture out.

Thanks for More Fantastic Reviews of the Serious Eats Book!

It will be nice when Amazon finally ships it to me. I don't understand why a pre-order isn't shipped as soon as it's available. Anyway, all of the reviews I've seen are making me more anxious.

Vegas - suggestions on the strip

I live in Las Vegas, but I don't eat on the Strip all that often. I'm glad that Lotus of Siam is in the plans. That's a great restaurant. I would also recommend Bouchon. It can be a really expensive meal if you want it to be, but of course you can also keep it reasonable. Their weekend brunch has terrific prices, but you might have to wait since they don't take reservations for brunch.

Cook the Book: 'The Family Meal'

I know that good restaurants have a nice staff meal prior to evening service, but I picture the chefs and servers at most restaurants eating packets of saltine crackers and whatever soup was left over from lunch that day.

7 Great Bites at Oxbow Market

I visited there a couple of times when I was in Napa a couple years ago. Pica Pica was a great place for lunch, and my wife fell in love with the Dad's Cardamom ice cream (she ordered it along with a scoop of orange-chocolate ice cream). In fact, we went back the next day so she could have more.

The Pizza Lab: The Complete Updated Guide To Grilled Pizza

My favorite grilled pizza combination is grilled zucchini, mozzarella, Parmesan, and chive oil. Delicious.

How The Best Mapo Dofu is Made

I could eat mapo doufu once a week, but my wife sees it as more of a once-every-couple-of-months meal. I like to make a fairly large batch so, when we do have it, I can eat the leftovers for lunch for the next two days.

Dinner Tonight: Cauliflower Macaroni and Cheese

I threw together something like this a few years ago. It's surprising how creamy pureed cauliflower gets. I made a cauliflower-based "mulligatawny" right around the same time.

Hot Dog Of The Week: The Froman from Gilbert's Craft Sausages

I suppose since these are "uncured" hot dogs, they are being careful about how they will be shipped since the unpredictable process of natural curing makes temperature a bigger concern.

The Pieman's Craft: How to Unstick Your Pizza from the Peel

I've used rice flour on the peel the last couple of times I've made pizza. It doesn't have the gritty cornmeal texture, and it doesn't have the unpleasant flavor of raw wheat flour. I've become a pretty big fan of it.

Grilling: Zucchini with Parmesan and Garlic Chili Oil

I like to let zucchini marinate in olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for a few hours before I grill it. I bet that approach would still work well with the garlic chili oil and parm. I've also made a grilled zucchini pizza that was pretty similar to this recipe, but on top of pizza.

Guiness substitute

Go to a liquor store that sells individual bottles. Or, if you go to a decent liquor store, you should be able to find a larger bottle (common sizes are 22 oz. and 16.9 oz.) of a different kind of stout. There are numerous other kinds of stout available.

The Ultimate In-N-Out Secret Menu (and Super Secret Menu!) Survival Guide

A bit of a nitpick: sport peppers are longer and much thinner than the chiles they have at In-n-Out. I don't know the name of the peppers that they use, but they are the same as the Mezzetta Hot Chili Peppers. Not what I would call a sport pepper. Also, they are delicious. My normal routine is to bite off half the chile and chew it a couple of times before taking a bit of the hamburger. That lessens the throat-burning, and it also seems to amplify the flavors.
