Standing Room Only: Al's #1 Italian Beef

Nick, have you tried Johnnie's? I certainly haven't sampled all the Italian beef in Chicago, but Johnnie's is incredibly delicious.

That, my friend, is amazing. A monstrous kudos to Mr. Solares. I'm gonna go eat it this weekend.

Chowhounder Has 'Best Pizza Ever!' at Co. Company

Good comment, but it would have been better if he had said "lowbrau" instead of "lowbrow".

Watching NFL

Metromix *just* put up their list of top sports bars.

The ones I know on that list are all good ones, so I think you're safe trusting the rest. I'm also a fan of Stout, if you're close by. Lots of TVs, pretty decent food.

AHT Poll: What Cheese Do You Like Most on Your Burger?

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to make a hamburger cheese. Something that has the low melting point of American, but with a bit more flavor. That would be a worthy cause.

Mr. Kuban, you definitely have a way with words. Even with a site update, you entertain.

Tucson based Serious Eaters - posting?

I don't live in Tucson, but my wife grew up there and I'd also love to see more on SE. There's so much great Mexican food there. My favorite is Micha's. I could eat an echilada style machaca burro every day of my life. Whare are some of your favorite spots, @missvenuz?

Chiono, where did you end up going? I'm heading there this week and am also looking for spots.

Cheap dinner recommendations in Cobble Hill

I missed this when it came thorugh, but here's my 2 cents!

Yemen Cuisine is amazing. There are two other spots on Atlantic that are also good, but this one is my fave. Try the Chicken Gahloub.

Building on Bond only opened a few months ago, but they have relatively cheap sandwiches, a decent burger and great ambiance. They've also got beer on tap and pretty good coffee.

Nicky's is a known commodity, but not everyone remembers it's right there on Atlantic! Great, cheap bahn mi.

Fast and Fresh Deli on Hoyt Street has killer tacos and tortas but nowhere to sit. It's only a block from my place though so grab something to eat and come on over!

A New York Original Closes Its Doors After 22 Years

As we get ready to move our offices back to the neighborhood, I'm mourning Kitchen/Market all over again. Ed, let us know if Dona and Stuart are doing anything now! I want to eat their food.

Shake Shack UWS Madness On Tap: Let the Frozen Fries Start Flowin' in My 'Hood

I'm with Mr. Kuban. These fries are mediocre on their best days. Spend your calories elsewhere.

Thank the lord for a hot dog bun steamer. They've always had funky buns and steaming them should go a long way to improving the experience.

Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, a New Classic?

Ugh, I wish they wouldn't call these cheeseburger rolls. Ground beef and cheese does not a cheeseburger make.

Snarkiness aside, these sound f'in delicious.

Soda Pop Stop: One-Stop Shopping for 450 Different Sodas

I am a root beer nut and I'm disappointed that no one serves Sprecher or Weinhardt's in NYC.

As an aside, I'd love to find somewhere in NYC that has this kind of selection. I'd love to order, but shipping prices kill you. Anyone have any good leads?

Hershey's removes Cocoa Butter from candy.

cybele - thanks for all that info. As for Scharfen Berger, I visited their factory in Berkeley about a year ago and the chocolate was as delicious as ever. Of course, this was obviously coming direct from that location. They did say that no recipes or sources have changed, so I bet your suspicion is correct. Either way, I'm not going to stop eating Scharfen Berger — it's damn fine chocolate.
