Taste Test: Grapefruit Soda

Embarrassingly, I drank the US, diet version of Fresca for almost ten years before I knew it was diet. My taste buds have awoken since then.

Mapo doufu

Here is Fuchsia Dunlop's recipe that Hassouni mentioned. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Kenji's recipe. Fortunately, I was able to find some other goodies:

I couldn't wait. I went to Old Town and got this:

It was very delicious.

Staten Island: Lee's Tavern

Thanks for the report Nick! Have you checked out Pier 76 yet? It's by Joe & Pat's family members and is walking distance from the ferry. I've only been once, but it was fantastic. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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?

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!
