A Sandwich a Day: Chicken Jibarito from Papa's Cache Sabroso

This sandwich is great, but it's tough to order on Saturdays when you have Papa's roast pork available. Mmmm.

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams in Columbus, Ohio

They sell pints of Jeni's ice cream at Goddess + Grocer in Chicago.

'Slice' Poll: Dessert Pizza - Way or No Way?

It seems like the aversion has more to do with calling it pizza than whether it is delicious or not. So, feel free to not call it pizza, but pizza crust + desserty toppings is great! Spacca Napoli in Chicago does a mean version with nutella. Mmmmm.

Cook the Book: Beef Marrow Bones with Oxtail Marmalade

@thoomin -- Agreed. I think I'd rather just fly to NYC and let Blue Ribbon make it for me!

Bring On The Ice Cream!

And nice picture and all, but ice cream belongs in a cone!

Bring On The Ice Cream!

Cones. They're all good, but I recommend a scoop of dark chocolate and one of coconut. Mmm.

Taste Test: The Best Babka in New York City

YUM! Must have lots of chocolate swirls inside, and enough goodness piled up on top that you can pick some chunks off without getting noticed (and in trouble, when growing up) before it's served.

Poll: Are You a Fan of White Pies?

Love 'em but they don't match with the same toppings as red pizzas - you can't just swap one for the other. And now I want some Pepe's white clam + garlic. Mmmmm.

Standing Room Only: Redhot Ranch

Went last weekend. Not a bad dog, but especially after reading this, I expected much more of a good hot dog snap, and didn't get that at all when biting into it.

Standing Room Only: Hannah's Bretzel

And that delicious ham sandwich has a mere 66% of your daily sodium needs (without the chips)!

Burger at Chaise Lounge in Chicago: Elegant, Simple, Incredible

Where are those "excellent dill pickle slices from a local producer in Chicago" from, and how can I get some?

The world needs more good pickles.

Seriously Italian: Lavender Honey Spice Cake

Worth noting as a honey-based Jewish new year treat. Looks better than those brick-like honey cakes that find their way to the table every year.

Damn Good Frozen Custard from Scooter's in Chicago

Reading this makes me want to drive 4.5 hours south to Ted Drewes. Is it Great Pumpkin time yet?
