nymilk Organic Milk Available at Eataly and Fresh Direct

@Kenji:

Did you do any research at all for this? Organic Valley sells both UHT and HTST milk as a 15-second Google search revealed, and is a farm cooperative. Oh, and Horizon Organic also sells both UHT and HTST....all 1/2 gallon cartons of either will be labeled "Ultra-Pasteurized" if they are UHT.

This is not to say I don't support local products; in fact I have NYMilk in my fridge right now. I just don't support shoddy research!

Taste Test: Dark Chocolate

I.e. @Everjean, the TJ's IS Belgian and @scatteredsong it IS Callebaut....

Isn't TJ's just relabeled Callebaut?

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: 40s of Malt Liquor

My brother in law recently received a 40 of Colt 45 as a birthday gift and after consuming half of it he broke out in hives. Dirty beer!

Yea or Nay: Coffee and Hamburgers

@square_pie:

Maybe you are just going to the wrong restaurants in New York City? Or maybe it's just you....

Regardless, I don't think anyone would ever complain about you ordering a coffee with a burger at most places which serve burgers in New York City!

Yea or Nay: Coffee and Hamburgers

Why wouldn't you order coffee with a sandwich at lunchtime? It's delicious, healthy and caffeinated.

The real question is why anyone would link to/send traffic to an egotistical blowhard like Ozersky?

Nathan Myhrvold's Modernist Burger

@Blank Reg

You win the comment war.

All snark aside, that looks like a great burger. I'd love to eat it and I'd pay good money to do so. Cooking it seems like total torture, but that's why they have restaurants!

Meet & Eat: Loren Brill, Sweet Loren's

"With most cookie dough, there's the needling worry about salmonella poisoning from eating raw eggs"

Isn't it only something like 1 in 20,000 eggs that is actually infected with salmonella?

James Beard's Champagne Punch

Mmm, yes, how appropriate to post this recipe on January 3rd. I'll make sure to use it for my Superbowl party?

Sugar Rush: Pacifikool Ginger Syrups

My mom gets these for me for a little taste of home....they're pretty good, but frankly not much better than homemade simple syrup infused with ginger. A nice gift, but not a "must buy" IMHO.

Daily Slice: Semi-dried Cherry Tomatoes at Di Fara

@seriousb: Di Fara makes really great pizza, both the round and the sicilian pie. The price and hygiene are not really an issue for me (for some they might be); the line is a very big deal for me. I recommend trying it, but planning to visit on some off-hours time during the week when the line will be much shorter or nonexistent.

Otherwise, look at it this way: the DiFara hype has been around for long enough that the anti-hype backlash should be settling down.

Detroit: Motz's Burgers Serves Some of the Best Sliders in the Country

@Holly Moore:

While I normally delight in leaving comments criticizing Kenji for various sins of pseudoscience (it makes his scientific method a much truer simulation of academia), he's criticizing Louis Lunch on the basis of their AHT review, which I would say makes the criticism the opposite of a cheap shot.

Also, Vernor's is amazing.

Sponsored post = bad idea. When I read a sponsored post, I don't know if you are shilling for the restaurant or being objective.
