Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham
My favorite ham sandwich is ham from a left over spiral ham (not deli ham!), spicy mustard or horseradish, and tomato - on a big bulky roll! YUM!
Burger King Releases the Angry Whopper
It was alright. Nothing crispy about the onions, and not very spicy - oh except for the somewhat spicy bit I got from the TWO jalapeno pieces I had on mine.

A Tale of Two Bakeries: Boston's Flour Bakery and Clear Flour Bread
I was walking back to my car with my son after leaving the Children's museum and saw a sign for Flour out of the corner of my eye. "Hrm, sounds familiar, I remember seeing that on SeriousEats!". So glad we decided to stop in for lunch. The sticky^2 buns were awesome and my son was nice enough to share a bite (or two...) of probably the best PB&J either of us have ever had. I had the roast beef and horseradish - awesome. I'd definitely go there again!

Boston's Best Lobster Rolls from 'Gourmet'
Growing up in CT, but now living in Boston for the past 8 years, I'm extremely happy to find out that Nepture does them Connecticut style - Hot and buttery is the way to go! Hold the mayo and celery for me.
Budweiser's New American Ale
Bud's been trying to penetrate the craft beer market for year's with their Michelob line - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelob Interesting that they're doing it with the Bud brand now too. Anyone interested in some history of craft brewing and the passion first/business second aspect Bunnyman mentioned should check out the "bockumentary" American Beer.
Mott's Selling 50% Juice For the Same Price as 100% Juice
They also sell the same thing (I think) branded as "motts for tots". Their marketing says that watered down juice also waters down the amount of vitamins the kids get, so the watered down "motts for tots" adds additional vitamins in (making the juice taste kinda weird to me...).
I'll stick with watering it down myself thanks. I'm lazy, but not THAT lazy.
12 Burgers in 8 Hours, a Burger Bender
Great write up! But, as a fellow Bostonite, I wonder if you have tried The Upper Crust for pizza? Or what about B.Good for burgers/fries? And there are Five Guys in MA too, closer than having to travel to NYC =)
Glad to hear Shake Shack is worth it though...I have a NYC trip planned soon and have been debating standing in the line!

Do We Really Need Organic Potato Chips?
I don't care if the Kettle chips are organic..I pay more to buy them because they are awesome! The Sea Salt + Black Pepper are some of the best potato chips ever..

What happened to my comment?
Dear Slice: Thanks for the Tip on New Haven
"Hello, it's 95 and humid why aren't you all at the beach?" - Clearly, you have not been to the beaches in New Haven before? =) All this Pepe's talk has me missing home though...
Food Critics and Anonymity: Does It Impact Reviews?
The Phantom Gourmet is very popular in Boston and is my number 1 destination when I'm looking for an honest opinion on some local food. Plus their TV show on weekend mornings is always a good way to get my appetite going!
100% agree - I'd be too suspicious of a good review from a non-anonymous and well known reviewer.
Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
Firefly's BBQ - 3 locations in Massachusetts! AWESOME southern food and bbq. You guys should definitely check them out/review them. Dave and Buster's used to have them too (a national chain) but I just checked and it's not on their menu.
Drank, an Anti-Energy Drink
They took a page out of the Cocaine energy drink's marketing playbook. As pointed out on BoingBoing, the marketing for this is clearly a hat tip to the "Purple Drank/Sizzurp/Lean" drink of downing prescription only cough syrup as popularized by several rap songs.

Oooo...This kind of seems like a dish I had at Garlic Jo's in newport beach. Great place if you're a garlic fan! I'll definitely have to try this out.

12 Burgers in 8 Hours, a Burger Bender
You are not a nut, Kenji !!
I, too, had a VERY BLAND burger at the CORNER BISTRO..
and I DID take mine out in that brown PAPER BAG !
The place is so tiny, nowhere hardly to stand, much less sit, so I took it out, and ate it on a nearby sidewalk...
I found the burger VERY mediocre!
And I like your comparison , when you said that one can still tell a supermodel looks like a supermodel even on her worst day!
I write lots of trip reports, complete with pics on Roadfood.com
mostly regarding burgers and pastrami...

Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
I love fried pickles but I thought your comment about spears was really weird because I find the exact opposite to be true. The chips tend to get soggy and cold much faster than the spears. Which made sense to me because the spears are crunchier in the first place. I actually avoid places that have chips. Hooters for example has the chips. Which almost everywhere has a hooters so there you go but I don't go because I want the real thing. The full on spear and if you're lucky and you're at Little River BBQ in Townsend, TN then you get the special sauce too (some sort of sweet mustard). It's absolutely the best. Chips really?!!? So confusing....

I like Miller's...how about Nathan's?...I've only had their hot dogs from the grocery store...I enjoyed watching 'A Hot Dog Show' on PBS
Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
How did I ever miss this? Toots was my first exposure to fried pickles back in college over 10 years ago! Now, Jockamo's is my place to get my fix!

What I want to know is: is it Lewis Black doing the Angry Whopper's voice on the Angry-grams?
15 Illegal Immigrants Found in Tanker Truck of Cocoa Powder
Adam makes a very good point. Who were they? Why did they do it? This brief article touches on the fertile topic of illegal immigrants but fails to delve into the topic at all. I would like to see a longer article, to give this important subject the space it deserves.

see, this is why i prefer fair trade chocolate: it *never* has illegal immigrants in it.

While it is fantastical -- in that it sounds like something out of a dream or zany skit, it is sad. They put themselves in serious danger and must have had no other options if they'd resort to going inside the tanker.

A Tale of Two Bakeries: Boston's Flour Bakery and Clear Flour Bread
Finally got over there last week. All I can say is OMG!!!!! One of the best things I have ever eaten and I have eaten alot of good bakery treats. Will have to save all my calories for my next trip. Was not as impressed with the other baked treats, but this would be worth going back for. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I am in Boston two to three times a month, so this temptation will have to be carefully dolled out or I will look like the Pillsbury dough boy!!!!
Without a doubt, very much worth the trip-especially in the am when they are fresh!

12 Burgers in 8 Hours, a Burger Bender
@kismetized
Thanks! I'm actually heading to the druid for an official burger tasting next week. I'm doing a similar sort of roundup on Boston burgers (with a slightly different slant). Keep your eyes tuned on the Sunday Globe Magazine in a couple weeks - the article should be out then (I've had 8 burgers in the last three days. ouch).
12 Burgers in 8 Hours, a Burger Bender
Great write up! I am a Queens transplant to Boston and I must agree with you on the lack of good dogs, burgers, and pizza. I have yet to find an acceptable dog or slice, but definitely check out the Druid Pub in Somerville for a great burger. Flame grilled and beautifully seasoned, these guys have it down pat. The only thing I would complain about is the bread to meat ratio - the bun is a little fluffy for my liking. However, the patty is simply delicious and I think that you will enjoy it. They also have wonderful hand cut french fries, mmm.
