Shake Shack: A New York Spin on the West Coast–Style Burger

For some reason I seem to recall that you can't get shakes on the B-Line. Anyone out there know?

What I refer to as "cocktails with the kids" - cherry lime rickies. the tartness of the limes mixes perfectly with the sweetness of the cherry syrup (though I admit sometimes I'll use grenadine). My kids love helping me mix these up.

A Burger with a Side of History at Old Town Bar

My favorite story about the Old Town is from the 50s.

A few of the Giants were there and Kyle Rote and Frank Gifford excused themselves. The waiter came by to take an order and was met with the reply, "I'll have what the backs in the boys are having"

Dried Cantaloupe from Economy Candy

Is it me or is this recipe lacking in Mango?

What Are You Doing With Your Pee?

My favorite use for urine is to make phosphorus - the cold fire:

And yes, I know this has nothing to do with food either.

Real Women Eat Steak; Why Can't I?

I took my wife on our first date to the Corner Bistro. You want to talk about a trial by fire. She dug right in.

We go back regularly and laughed one time when we saw a woman on her first date attempt to use a knife and fork on a Bistro burger. My wife pointed at it and my immediate response was, "There probably wouldn't have been a second date if you did that."

It was, however, the last time I saw her drink a beer.

Milkshake terminology

Okay, so what the heck is a "phosphate"? (Anyone who read "Our Town" hit that one, so that means anyone who went to Junior high school)>

Do British Candy Bars Taste Better? Serious Eats Investigates

Anyone here remember the older version of Joyva;'s Marshmallow Twist that would get hard as a rock and crack when frozen. I wonder what they did to the recipe to change that?

Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.

Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.

Give me a refreshing Gordon's Cup made with cucumber and limes - you can add a splash of Midori for extra pizazz!

I love a Sea Breeze - vodka, cranberry juice, and a squeeze of fresh lime. Ahhh!

Cherry limeade, made with club soda and not plain water. Fizzy and fresh and cold, it hits all the right spots.

Forgot to mention that 5 Guys is pretty good, in my opinion. It is a welcome sight after a long, long flight home into Reagan National. I still prefer the Apple Pan, though.
