Chicago's kings of local and nasty bits eating, Mado, serve seared beef heart Detroit "coney dog style," open faced, with fried onions, chili and a mustard sauce on the side. awesome.

From Hedge Fund Manager to Pizza Delivery Driver
look, even if he did live "rent free" for two years he's still technically liable on the mortgage. Maybe he never pays it, but it's not like he's getting off scott free.
take this story as a lesson we all can learn from.
Celebrating Mardi Gras with King Cake
"I had never heard of a king cake until my roommate's parents sent her one from their home in New Orleans this past week"
How can someone who doesn't know what a king cake is qualify to write for this website?
Alice Waters Proposes New School Lunch Program
Can only work in a school like Geoffrey Canada's in Harlem NYC. You need to grab the parents by the ear and make them understand what you're trying to do. Otherwise without home support no one will get it.
'Top Chef' Season 5, Episode 13: Mardi Gras in N'Awlins with Emeril Lagasse
Does TVFN own bam! like it owns yummo?
I suspect they've been hiding Carla's ability from the viewers all season to make it seem like Stefan and/or Fabio had it in the bag.
Money-Saving Tips from 'Confessions of a Butcher'
Get Rich Slowly is the last place anyone reason this site should look to for food related advice, unless he's advocating farming or something similar. But budget shopping meat? Yuck.
Hershey's to Close Scharffen Berger Plant in Berkeley; Robert Steinberg Spinning in Grave
spreadsheet jocks run the world .... into the ground!
Local, Not Preachy, Goods at Green Grocer Chicago
also I wish this post was more positive. the store deserves better.
Local, Not Preachy, Goods at Green Grocer Chicago
great store, nice people, excellent products, awesome ethics. no more throwing away egg cartons! think of it as shopping potluck, you'll never know what's there until you go in -- that is part of the fun.
best eggs in chicago, without a doubt. and your dog always gets a treat.
Sunday Brunch: Hot Chocolate Simon Hopkinson Style
this should do wonders for your diet.
City Bakery's New Bad Economy Beer Menu
that is the most ridiculous menu I've seen in a while.
Grocery Ninja: Sticky, Caramelly, Stroopwafels
I've been lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Holland over the past few years, and call a lot of Dutch folks as close friends and I've never actually seen someone place a stroopwafel over a coffee cup. I don't doubt that it's true but would say it's no longer common.
If you want them hot just go to a street market and hope someone is making them fresh. Really delicious.
Best Destinations for Beer Lovers
Spuytin Duyvil and the grocery are not attached. They are not even on the same street. The grocery is in the mall on Bedford Avenue; the bar is at Metropolitan and Havermeyer.
Photo of the Day: Rainbow with Pot of Gold Cake
I'm gonna rent me a back ho and upend that tree. I wanna know where the gold at! I want the gold. Give me the gold!
The Cartoon Kitchen: Gado Gado (Cooked Mixed Vegetables with Peanut Sauce)
was a staple when we lived in Amsterdam. Great dish.
we used a lot of leeks, bean sprouts and (ALWAYS) sliced hard boiled egg.
Jersey Dispatch: A Beer Mecca on Oak Tree Avenue
"Affligem (I saw somebody order that at Per Se a few weeks ago), Cantillon (what the person should have ordered)"
This statement is just strange on a lot of levels.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 23: The Peanut Butter Conundrum
Cream-Nut is the only american made peanut butter I've found that tops Calve "pindakaas" (aka dutch peanut butter). awesome stuff.
In Videos: Sneak Peek at Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow's Spanish Road Trip
gwyneth paltrow is paint dry boring in any interview I've seen. Bittman looks like he lost wait. His last show was an ego trip, I wonder if Batali can keep him in line.
The Blumenburger -- The Most Labor-Intensive Hamburger Ever
great post. i watched the fish and chips show on a plane to south africa, really enjoyed it. but making fun of vegetarians and their prepackaged food options is boring. why not laugh at a frozen hamburger from walmart instead?
Momofuku Ko: Does the Service Matter?
i wish the cooks were more interested in discussing the dishes. i asked what the "vegetarian caviar" was three times and never got a definitive answer.
New York City's Best Dining Experiences
I love eating at the bar at babbo but sitting at a table is not a huge deal to me.
Late Saturday lunch at the bar at Otto is actually my preferred Batali meal.
