Blue Hill at Stone Barns: The Most Important Restaurant in America

Cassaendra- Shiitake is not misspelled. It is a Japanese word, so it is not natively written in Roman characters. Shiitake or Shitake would both be appropriate ways to translate the Japanese Kanji characters into English.

When the vending machine calls, what do you choose?

The vending machine where I work just got the most amazing fried fat and salt concoction ever: Burger King Ketchup Fries.

Let's not get bogged down in debates about how to spell certain varieties of mushrooms. I think we can all agree that eating at Blue Hill at Stone Barns is a unique and delicious experience.

Cassaendra, it doesn't matter how you spell Portobello when referring to the mushroom as different distributors in the US and Europe may employ either spelling rather than the other.

Maybe you should have a drink.

Anybody remember Sprinkle Spangles? Anybody? It was a cereal made of star shapes, sprinkles and lots of sugar. Beautiful rocket fuel.

If you want the experience, but can't pay the big bucks for dinner, try a brunch. It's as incredible, in it's own way, as the more expensive meals. Not to say that it was inexpensive, but it was well worth the money. The one annoying point was the extra charge for a basket of bread.

I just found some cookies that are a lot like Magic Middles at a truck stop in Italy. They're called Grisbi. Google them online.

Does anyone remember the little potato chips that came in a box? They looked like little uninflated balloons. They were really crispy, and it seems like there was a hot air balloon on the box. They were always near the Bugles. They kind of tasted like Munchos. I have been thinking about these for years.

Had to join up just to add this comment: I totally miss Fizzies, the fruity tablets that you dropped in cold water to make instant carbonated beverages. The chemists couldn't get it to work or taste quite the same after cyclamates were banned in 1969. Although is supposedly reformulated good as new in 2006. http://www.oldtimecandy.com/fizzies.htm
