Cook the Book: 'How to Roast a Lamb'

When I first moved to Washington, DC, there was a cheap (intern-affordable) Greek restaurant called The Astor, on M Street. My favorite menu item was Lamb Tas Kebap, which is a hearty stew.

The restaurant is long gone, unfortunately, but this article has prompted me to find a Lamb Tas Kebap recipe on the Web.

'Advertising Age' Talks to Condé Nast CEO About 'Gourmet' Shutdown

"Do you shut down the title that's beautiful and smart with good writing, the employee asked, and go for the title with recipes and pictures of cheeseburgers?"

Hmmm. If you look at the next most recent entry on today's Serious Eats, you'll find a picture of cheeseburger.

Bovine Bliss Found at Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, Virginia

1. If you go by Metro, you can avoid the "sweaty uphill walk from the Rosslyn metro station" by getting off the train at the Court House station. Rosslyn and Court House are about the same distance from Ray's, and the Court House walk is downhill.

2. Ray's burgers are good, but this DC resident prefers the Colletti's Smokehouse at Spike Mendelsohn's “Good Stuff Eatery” near the Capitol, or the Bistro Burger at the Matchbox (Chinatown and Eastern Market locations.)

"Konichiwa what's up guys s'Joe."

The first sentence of the video--no, the first WORD of the video--tells you everything you need to know about the reviewer. Nothing to see here.

Five Guys Burgers

About a month ago, Mrs. Obama took about 25 staff members to a get-acquainted lunch at the Dupont Circle 5 Guys.

$29.95 for America's Test Kitchen website?

I dropped CI because of terrible customer service.

1. When I first subscribed, they sent me 2 copies of the same issue.

2. One of their telemarketers called me to offer a book "on approval." I told her--twice--not to send it, but she did anyway. I returned it w/a complaint letter.

No apology from CI. No reply of any kind.

I thought the issues were both useful and beautifully produced. Same for the web site. But not worth the irritation.

Dear AHT: The All-In Burger at Red Hot & Blue in Dallas, Texas

Red Hot & Blue isn't just a Texas chain.

Click the "outside Texas" button on the linked site, and you'll find it in a number of other states. I'm in Washington, DC, and regularly visit a Virginia branch. This write-up made me realize I'm overdue for another visit.

Served: My Plea To Tip Kindly

No matter how bad the service, I always tip enough so that when I later realize that I left my gloves in the restaurant, I won't be too embarrassed to go back for them.

My favorite lamb recipe is roasted leg of lamb with mint jelly.

I have a pretty good lamb chops recipe. I also have a leg of lamb recipe we use for dinner sometimes on special occasions. Lamb is BY FAR my favorite meat!

Lamb stew. Based on the comments above, however, lamb burgers might have the potential of being a new favorite if I can find the right recipe for preparing them well.

Other than Gyros I haven't had much lamb. My husband is a big Lamb eater. I am slowly learning to appreciate it.

I had some awesome lamb chops in Spain with lots of garlic. I wish I knew how they made them.

my sweetie loves rotisserie-ing a leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic stabbed into it.

Hard to decide between roast leg of lamb or lamb shanks. Love them both!

Take butterflied leg of lamb. Add rosemary, garlic wine. Wait. Grill. Yum.

I'm an Aussie who misses weekly Sunday lamb roasts (so much more expensive over here and more of a hunt to get the right quality). However, when I do cook up a lamb roast I am 100% for simplicity - garlic and rosemary and lots of roasted veggies in the same pan to absorb the juices. I also like some simple jus or gravy from the juices at the end.

I used to make candied ginger and use the syrup for ginger ale. Then we made ground lamb patties with chopped candied ginger and mint leaves mixed in one night. Mmm...gotta do that again.
