NYC's Burger of the Month Club (BOTM)

I would like to point out that people from New York might prefer "pub style" burgers because that is what we grew up eating. "Balanced burgers" or what I like to call "California drive-up style" weren't popular in New York until recently. They just don't appeal to me as much as a fat juicy burger and they always leave me hungry (but not hungry enough to eat another).

Ed McFarland Holds a Press Conference: Life Goes On

"This fight is not about diners enjoying unfettered access to delectable lobster rolls and Caesar salads. It's about a violation of trust, resentment, and betrayal behind the counter and the stove at a couple of restaurants in New York."

Not to me it isn't. What if Rebecca wins, this changes everything. What if there was only one place in NYC where you could experience a "seafood shack".
Not fair, not right, I demand unfettered access to lobster rolls!
Their squabbles are nothing to me. Violation of trust? Should he have just stayed there the rest of his life, working for her?

Rebecca Charles is Mad as Hell and She's Not Going to Take It Anymore

I think I will never go to Pearl Oyster Bar again. I guess until POB opened there wasn't such a thing as a new england seafood shack otherwise some one would be suing her. She really needs to get over herself. Does she really think two more "lobster shacks" are going to hurt her bottom line? She gets plenty of business.

Brown Sugar: Just as Unhealthy as White Sugar

Are we talking about the brown sugar that is made of regular refined sugar mixed with molasses, or that unrefined "cane sugar"?
The nutritional value may be the same but how much energy does it take to refine sugar? I'll bet unrefined sugar is greener than white sugar. That's reason enough in my book. And everybody, let's stop buying those wasteful, planet ruining, plastic bottles of water.

Further Proof that the Best Chinese Food in America Is in Southern California

Can someone name a place or two in L.A.? I would love to put this assertion to my own tastebuds when in L.A. later this year.

Introducing Serious Sandwiches

A cuban is not a cuban if it has proscuitto and gruyere. What you are describing is a great pork sandwich.

59 and a Half!

I wish I didn't know this: Kobayashi beat Joey Chestnut in a Krystal burger eating competion. What made it special was that Kobayashi had won the event last year eating maybe 65 burgers. When he beat Chestnut the next year he ate closer to 100. (beating chestnut by Iess than 10). The point being, Kobayashi eats enough to win. I will be interesting to see if he can amp up hot dog consumption by 33%. My money would still be, if I cared, on Kobayashi.

Is Imitation Always the Sincerest Form of Flattery?

I don't know how many people there are in NYC. I do know there are not enough lobster roll places. So while it may not be right, it certainly won't put anyone out of business.
