Which post/restaurant is that picture from? That steak and broccoli rabe look amazing.

How recent is the Mikey Rourke picture? He just did "The Wrestler" so his physique was a little different for that role.
The Omnivore's 100
So are the things in bold the things that you HAVE had? So Alaina has never had a hostess fruit pie? Are you kidding me? Go to a bodega or a newstand and pick one up for that poor, deprived girl.

Jersey Dispatch: A Beer Mecca on Oak Tree Avenue
Interesting, since when does South Plainfield, NJ qualify as "New York"

I'll take the Fanta girls over this anyday.
Best Ice Cream in New England: Roadfood's Search
Strange that they missed Somerset Creamery as well, which is very close to Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium on the Cape.
Eggsperimental Ice Cream
Yes, bacon-and-egg ice cream is one of Heston Blumenthal's dishes at Fat Duck. He even showed how he made it on TV.
Sugar Rush: Nutella Ricotta Calzone at Toby's Public House
And there is a similar dish at Coals in the Bronx, with marscapone, I believe.

Why would foie be on the list of "forbidden" foods, given the recent change in legislature?

The Real-Life Restaurants in New York City from 'Grand Theft Auto IV'
For those that haven't played GTA, there is not always a real-world counterpart to the things that they put in the game. However, the names that they make up are always meant to be over-the-top (and more-often-than-not, filled with sexual innuendo, i.e. the 69th Street Diner) and usually a parody of commercialization in general.
How to Eat Cupcakes
I'm going to preface this by saying I actually like the idea. But it's a sad sad statement when we need to have a howto on eating...

Hey, there is nothing wrong with Per Se! I loved it! =)

This Magazine Is Made of Meat
Wouldn't it be neat if it actually was made of paper?
Grilling Tips
Well, my first recommendation would be to clean the thing. The grates in the picture above are disgusting, and I would never grill anything on that. =)
Gordon Ramsay Makes Scrambled Eggs Without Yelling
I wouldn't say that these eggs are his recipe, or Daniel Boulud's either. This is just the classical french way of preparing eggs. The technique is explained in the "Professional Chef" cookbook put out by the Culinary Institute of America.
As for the consistency, they are very, very creamy. Ramsey hit it on the head when he said you have to treat it like a risotto, and consistently stir.

@casperOne - locanda verde! the first link.......YUM

Ditto: that beef is so tantalizing it may as well be porn. I'm currently imagining what it would feel like to sink my teeth into it...
Best Ice Cream in New England: Roadfood's Search
Great food places smell good. If they do not, walk out. I walked out of Herrell's without ordering. If there had been no other ice cream in Cambridge, I would have ordered, but I'm not a masochist.

The devil has claws? I thought the devil had hooves...
In Videos: Robert DeNiro Peels an Egg in 'Angel Heart'
The explanation is all well and good, but it doesn't change the fact that those nails are horrific (and horrifically distracting). Poor Bobby D. Good thing he doesn't always look like that. =)

Cat lady=Jocelyn Wildenstein. VERY SCARY.
O'Rourke had facial damage from his unsuccessful boxing career, which led to a series of even more unsuccessful plastic surgeries. A shame. He was quite charming when he was younger.
In Videos: Robert DeNiro Peels an Egg in 'Angel Heart'
Robert DeNiro's nails were that way in the movie because his character was the devil. The shape and length of the nails represents the devil's claws.
Also, if you want to know what happened to Mickey Rourke's face, check out the website awfulplasticsurgery dot com.

I have to add my voice to the chorus of those who are creeped out by the nails.
I tap the hollow (large) end of the egg on the counter and peel from there. It goes pretty quickly and the shell usually comes off easily in a few large pieces.
"WTF happened to Mickey Rourke?"...I've wondered the same thing since I saw a similar-looking Mickey picture a couple years ago. Too many cocktails and too much plastic surgery gone awry would be my guess. Wouldn't he make a charming dinner date for that cat woman lady that's addicted to plastic surgery? Scary!

Yeah, well, you're supposed to be creeped out--Di Niro is playing the Devil
In Videos: Robert DeNiro Peels an Egg in 'Angel Heart'
yeah, i couldn't think about anything other than those digusting nails.

@casperOne: That photo is from The Wrestler!
The Omnivore's 100
I made a Visual Omnivore's Hundred on Flickr. It is a set of photos from all over the place of all the food found on the original Omnivore's Hundred. I also added descriptions of each so people don't have to look up what the food is. (I also added 6 more to the end). Please check it out. It took me two whole days to complete. :-)
Sugar Rush: Nutella Ricotta Calzone at Toby's Public House
Could this be New York's third-best dessert (behind Fleur de Sel's caramelized granny smith apple crepe and various warm valrhona chocolate cakes, most notably @ JoJo and the...sadly...now defunct Mark)? Well, we took a group of six on a mission to answer this question. One member of our party, for whom English is a second language simply declared "this is ridiculous!!" For her, 'ridiculous' is akin to 'bad' of the 70s. She recalled eating Nutella out of a jar with a spoon all during high school. This, she declared, would retain similar memories. All agreed, ricotta and Nutella in a calzone shell was Nobel Prize-worthy genius. Toby's is a keeper: the pizzas, while not perfect, were fine. Dips and small plates were like the pixillations on an Impressionist canvas. The beer selection will please all and the dessert calzone......

my dad serves croc in his eateries.. its ok. fried anything is ok.
The Omnivore's 100
Falafel isn't on the list. Not worth the read.

Who would risk eating Fugu? I don't trust anyone enough to cut me a piece of a fish that could easily cause me to asphyxiate and die.

@w --
Your formatting isn't only different - it's not formatted at all, from what I can see. There are no bolds/strike thrus (viewing on Moxilla Firefox 2). Maybe there are and your bold font is just indistinguishable from not bold?
The Omnivore's 100
Yes, I've had crocodile in Johannesburg, South Africa, at a place called Carnivore -- one of those Brazilian all-you-can-eat type joints where they specialized in farm-raised game meats.
The Omnivore's 100
I have 76 done and 24 to go, assuming that crocodile and alligator are the same (aren't crocodiles a protected species in the USA?).
The Omnivore's 100
I'm at 82 but excited to finish off the list and make another 100 must eats!

The Omnivore's 100
here is mine http://organicandnaturalmom.blogspot.com/2008/08/just-for-fun.html I am 41/100 I did it last sunday but I am jelous of all the things you guys have had.
The Omnivore's 100
My list is a mere 29. Though, I plan on moving to SF soon, so that should expand my food horizons. Some of them aren't things I haven't wanted to try, I just haven't. Like eggs Benedict and Huevos.....I usually order waffles for breakfast.
I do also find it funny that less people have had a Jello shot than I thought. We made Midori Sour Jello shots in college, but you have to find lemon Jello for that.
The Omnivore's 100
Yay I hit 81! (See my post here - but there was something wrong with my blog so the formatting's a little different.)
The only two things I wouldn't eat are roadkill and umm rocks/dirt/wtf?!! Now I have a goal, foodwise :)
The Omnivore's 100
Not bad, I've had 66 and there are only a few things I would pass on (Haggis, Head Cheese, the cigar, umeboshi and horse)
The Omnivore's 100
It's amazing what is totally normal to eat for "us" that is considered disgusting to "them". I was chatting with a new friend the other day who lives in Wales and the idea of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made him want to puke.
That said I think that the list is a good one and am happy to report that I only have 12 items to check off before it's complete. Try everything! Twice if the first time didn't quite take.
