Cook the Book: The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper

I would talk with Alton Brown about his video-shooting chops. More specifically, I would ask him how he 'constructs' the shots for a given show.

Cook the Book: 'Mario Batali Italian Grill'

I would say olive oil as it makes everything it touches on a grill tasty and delicious.

Six minute chocolate cake (via a Moosewood cookbook). It is yummy.

I Drove 40 Miles for a Taco

A recommendation, if you will:

I know from previous posts that you, Mr Nagrant, are a fan of tacos al pastor ["Where Alice Waters Should Get Her Tacos..."] so next time you make the trek out to Bien Truche for their delicious tacos (I just head a set of tacos on your recommendation and they were grand), I would suggest that you head north to El Puente, just east of the the Fox River, on Route 64 in St Charles.

These are truly some amazing (the best I have ever had) tacos al pastor. They are simply presented and garnished (as they should be) with only cilantro and onion.

Everything at this restaurant is good but the pastor is worth driving 40+ miles out from Chicago.

I hope you give them a try...
