A Pizza Snob's Approach To Toppings

I'm with @joshcalvi. This is prescriptivist nonsense. Pizza is a deconstructed hot sandwich. Anything appropriate on a hot sandwich is equally appropriate on a pizza.

San Diego: Burgers at Knotty Barrel Are Just Plain Good

I am glad to see that an AHT reviewer liked a burger for once. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that most reviews concentrate on how the burger fell short in some way. Even a bad burger is still pretty good.

Cook the Book: 'The Book of New Israeli Food'

My first falafel in the Marais in Paris. I thought that I'd had a falafel before that. Not even close.

Dinner Tonight: Pork Chops with Pear and Vidalia Pan Gravy

How can you taunt us with this in the middle of winter? There won't be any real Vidalias around for months.

Brunswick Stew, Hush Puppies, and Hash: Sides on the Carolina Barbecue Trail

I think the first picture is mislabeled. Po Pig's is on Edisto Island, not in Cayce. And it is worth the trip out there.

Cook the Book: Ad Hoc at Home

Blue Cactus at Five Points in Columbia. It's Korean/Mexican/Slow Food genius. With a motto like "Arrogantly Slow" you know that the food must be good or no one would ever go there.

From Recipes

Essentials: Guacamole

I definitely second the shallot idea. It's like a little onion and a little garlic at the same time. Also, a generous dash of cayenne will give it a little kick.

Rediscovering the Rickey

Pimm's #1 Cup with ginger ale and a slice of cucumber. Very very refreshing.

The 'New York Times' Is Not a Fan of Ted Allen's New Food Network Show

I'm not sure that I'd put all the blame on the host. While Ted's a bit grating, it's the mute oompa-loompa food helpers who really put me off this show.

Espresso on Ice Is Not OK, and Other 'Restaurant Policies'

If you take yourself and your coffee (too) seriously, you frequent establishments like Murky Coffee that take their craft and themselves just as seriously. To some people, it's not just a cup of coffee. From the barista's point of view, this guy is like the one who asks the waiter for ketchup to put on his filet mignon. So what if it's elitist? Don't go to a snobby coffee shop if you don't like coffee snobs.

'Exotic' Meats: What's Your Pleasure?

Definitely the delicious Suntown Sunbird. Hot and tasty!

From Recipes

Essentials: Collard Greens

I like to get the ham hock in the simmering water at least 30 or 40 minutes before the greens to make a kind of ham broth to cook them in. Don't forget the splash of hot pepper vinegar on the cooked greens for a little zip.
