Yay!!! I love this!! Candy cannibalism is the absolute cutest.
Hoboken, NJ - great town, getting tired of the food.
I love Ibby's too! I love Hoboken's bakeries though, I must say.
What would your restaurant be?
I think I have you all beat. My concept is to renovate old abandoned churches into theme Mexican restaurants called "Ay Mi Dios". The decor would be Day of the Dead Style. Mmm hmmm. Genius.
Best Fro-Yo Shops in SoCali
I know it will sound incredibly childish of me, but I WANT TCBY BACK!
Kosher Cheeseburger: Sacrilicious or Sacrilegious?
I guess it's more the act of eating it that seems offensive--like people will be offended by sex or violence in movies even though it isn't "real". Personally though I think said offended people should chill out.

I think the packaging might have scared me off but luckily you took the test bites for me! I will have to check this out!

What a beautiful way to induce a heart attack!
Snapshots from Italy: Crema di Gianduja
This looks like a creamy, decadent dream. Damn Europe for having creamier Nutella too--I never knew that!

Who knew there were so many Hobokenites on SE?
I used to eat at Charrito's, La Isla, and Zack's with some regularity, but Zack's switched chefs and went totally downhill and I got tired of all of the food at Charrito's tasting basically the same, and La Isla, well, La Isla is still pretty great if you're in the mood for it.
Margherita's is also pretty fantastic.
There are still many restaurants I haven't tried in Hoboken and I was hoping there were some hidden gems out there that I don't know about, but it doesn't sound like it. Interesting idea to try JC (will have to check out Ox!); I always just go to the city for eating out when I'm too lazy or I'm too tired of the places in town.

The Chicago Tribune held a similar contest, and look! A similar, yet way more graphic, depiction of Peeps cannibalism! That one got much messier.
Also, I represented us on Washington Post's Peeps Show-inspired live chat today with writer Dan Zak. Amidst all the anonymous "Washington, D.C." askers in the chat, this one was mine. Continuing the candy cannibalism dialogue, of course. As you'll notice, Dan chose the right response.
Washington, D.C.: I was a big fan of the "Suicide Food" entry where some campfire-side Peeps sit in a circle, roasting marshmallows. Would you consider this acceptable cannibalism?
Dan Zak: I would consider this acceptable cannibalism if Peeps tasted good. They do not, so I am duly repulsed by the diorama.

Cakespy: I love Carlo's bakery so much! Their M&M cookies are to die for, and the cakes are just out of this world!

La Isla is pretty great, and the Mongolian place on S1st is good too. I also love Di Palma in n bergen.
What would your restaurant be?
@PerkyMac....All food is my passion, and I will never have a single theme. I guess that would make my cookbook a bit of a challenge! I will think on that. I am all over the threads tonight. I am trying to catch up with the interesting topics! I live in the Ambler/Montgomery County area.
What would your restaurant be?
Peruvian bistro. Very few items on the menu. It would reflect a Limeño influence. You'd see typical items like sancochado, causa, empanadas, ceviche, quinoa, lomo saltado, ají de gallina and roasted chicken with screaming green salsa de ají.
Most recipes would be adapted from this.
Without funding from some wealthy patron, I couldn't afford a liquor license, so no chicha or pisco sours. That's life.

good for you, this is serious eating !
Fu Yu : is good with plain hot white rice, already mentioned with Ohng Choi, with some chilli and sesame paste, great with Asian eggplnat.
Nam Yu : Lor Hoon Jai, pork belly, Hong Siew Pork trotters, a final basting of home grill BBQ Char Siew or Pai Gwat.
Good Eating ;-)
What would your restaurant be?
I grew up in a restaurant. My parents and my mother's two brothers opened a restaurant/cocktail lounge in 1963, and I can tell you that operating a successful restaurant is about much more than the food, which is why I went to work for a newspaper (BTW: a newspaper is second on my list of businesses I never want to own.) When you think about restaurants, think about cooks calling in sick, wait staff calling in sick, health inspectors, liability insurance, the rising cost of food stuffs, and employees with their hands in the till. My favorite restaurant story involves a friend of mine whose parents also owned a restaurant: He was called out of bed to fill in for the breakfast cook who wasn't sick, but had been shot dead by his wife a few hours earlier.
What would your restaurant be?
comfort food and home cooking all the way! sweet and sour brisket, roast chicken with tarragon and bread sauce, leg of lamb, noodle kugel, spaghetti carbonara, chicken matzo ball soup, roasted potatoes, very homey desserts like pumpkin spice cake, chocolate layer cake, cheesecake...
