Few close friends. Great beer. Home-made burgers with good potato rolls, good thick cut bacon, and a few other condiments. perfect weather on the deck.

*sigh*. gotta make this happen.

"But my favorite method was to cook the steak in a cast iron skillet."

Ask the Food Lab: Can I Start Pasta In Cold Water?

no mention of the microwave pasta boat? :) i've seen it on way too many infomercials....but never actually bought it... thoughts?

Ask a Bartender: What Cocktail Should Disappear Forever?

my word... I've always loved a good long island iced tea back in the day, when my tolerance was a bit higher...never had anything bad happen afterwards either...

Haven't had one a a few years, but now I really want one again (though now, I'm afraid something really bad will happen if I try to order it now)

What Gross Food Stuff Did You Do as a Kid?

Peanut butter and rice.

The Food Lab Mini: Crispy Taco Shells Made of Cheese? Yes!

love it, but serving seems to be difficult if they're going to soften up real quickly. it's like you need to line them with a protective layer so it won't soften...then maybe, you can make them a bit larger...

What is this...a taco for ants?!? It has to be at least.... three times as big!

The Joy and Economics of Cooking Pizza At Home

lol!

So...does this mean if I write up a "well thought out" article on why you should buy pizza...I could get invited to a pizza party in ny? :)

12 of Our Favorite Food Movies

I know big night is a classic, but to me, the movie dragged and was incredibly frustrating to watch.

Watch Kenji Make Muffulettas With Katie Quinn on Now This News

that was kind of an awkward man-hug that you had with the host...

Valentine's Day Giveaway: Win This Prime Rib

Steak, wine, chocolate, fire.

The Food Lab: Can I Dry Age Beef At Home?

Oh, and you had talked about salting meats long before cooking before... Would salting before aging keep the bacteria away so that you can get to 9 days?

The Food Lab: Can I Dry Age Beef At Home?

no questions to Alton Brown? I had always dry aged my rib roasts after watching his bit about dry-aging on good eats... :(
I guess I'll stop that practice now...

Godfather's Pizza?

Just saw in the news that the CEO of Godfather Pizza was going to run for president...and i guess i'm falling for it, but anyone ever try godfather pizza? Just curious and I kinda want to try it, though ... being a chain, i'm going to guess it's not really a good...
just curious though. none near me, though i see there's some on the way to my parents house so if it's good, i may stop by and check it out

Sauced: Homemade Ketchup

Heinz has totally spoiled me. When Erin asked if I'd be interested in starting up this new "Sauced" column, I started racking my brain about what condiment to tackle first. I could think of nothing more fitting, more ubiquitous, than ketchup. You hardly ever stop to think about what goes into making ketchup. Usually, a bottle of Heinz is just hanging out in the fridge and, well, it tastes exactly the way it should. Is it even work making a version from scratch? More

Grilling: Stout Barbecue Sauce

Winter is a call for us to beef up the heartiness of just about everything. Though I'm not normally a huge fan of stout beers, when the frigid cold has set in, there's something appealing to drinking what feels like a meal in a bottle. I wanted to take that appropriate seasonal heaviness and apply it to a barbecue sauce. So I married the two to create a stout barbecue sauce. More

Serious Heat: 10 Things to Do with Kimchi

While you can always stir kimchi into rice for an easy side (with no complaints from me!), sometimes I crave kimchi fusion. Kimchi is fermented vegetables, most often cabbage, but there are varieties, one of my favorite being made with radishes. Seasonings can include garlic, ginger, chiles, fish sauce to make for a condiment that's fiery and salty with a pucker-worthy tartness. Because of this acidity, it greatly complements richer dishes. Here are 10 fusion-inspired ideas on what to do with kimchi. More

The Food Lab Thanksgiving Special: Brussels Sprouts Worth Eating

After they're done charred in the bacon fat, I season them with plenty of salt and pepper (I don't like to do it before because I find the salt from the bacon fat penetrates the sprouts as they cook, making it hard to judge salt level), then toss them back together with the crisp bacon. If you're feeling extra plucky, you can go for a full half-and-half bacon-to-sprout ratio. Trust me, you'll be popping them like scrumdiddlyumptious bars. More

Kenji Alt's Homemade Pizza Hack

Last week, Kenji Alt of the blog Goodeater (and a writer for Cook's Illustrated) sent me a cross-section photo of a slice of pizza he had made in his kitchen with the promise that he'd soon reveal a new method of achieving brick-oven-like pizza at home. He has now unveiled his pizza hack, and it doesn't involve the self-cleaning cycle or a super-hot iron skillet. After taking us through the three different ways food can cook (via conduction, convection, or radiation) and explaining clearly how they each apply to pizza, Kenji reveals his plan for cooking both the top and...
