Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'
I've done my share of barbecuing and eaten a lot of it all over the country, but a couple of years ago I finally made the roadtrip to Mike Mills' 17th Street Bar and Grill and it was like a religious experience! Hands-down the best ribs I've ever had.
Hamburger America: Rossi’s Bar & Grill in Trenton, New Jersey
Holy crap that's beautiful!
Although at 87/13 I'm a little skeptical that it might be a bit dry for my tastes.
My (Sort Of) First Taste of White Castle's Burgers
The one thing I've always felt WC got right was the bun. I think that little squishy bread is the perfect vehicle for a hamburger.

Hoosier Mama: A Truly Great Big Northern City Pie Baker
Ed,
You may have been in Chicago, but Paula Hamey is from Indiana and really good pie is one thing we do really well (along with breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches). What surprises me, though, is she doesn't have sugar cream pie on the menu. That is very much a Hoosier pie and when done well (and I'm sure she could do it well) is hard to beat.

Dear AHT: 'Help! I'm Allergic to Beef"
Bryan,
You may want to check with an allergist to make sure you're not actually allergic to corn. A good friend of mine found out last year she had a corn allergy that was causing her problems and it even goes so far as eating beef that was corn-fed. The beef solution is easy (simply buy grass-fed beef) but it's amazing how much corn permeates the food world.
And just to nitpick (because that's what I do) nobody is eating buffalo... it's all bison that we eat here. Buffalo are a different animal.
LaRosa's: A Tradition Cincinnatians Should Not Be Proud Of
I have to agree with this review. LaRosa's is nothing special and I can't figure out why it's so popular. When I'm in town I'll usually go for Dewey's if I want a pie.
Also... don't go to Montgomery Inn unless you like BBQ that's not actually smoked. And Columbus is North of Cincinnati, btw.
What are you planting in your garden this year?
Expanding a bit this year and we have quite the plan:
Chadwick’s Cherry Tomato

Leftover BBQ
If I have leftover brisket I like to make chili with it.
Airport guilty pleasure?
I connected through Dulles a couple of weeks ago and was elated to see a Five Guys in the terminal. After a couple of weeks out of the country that was a welcome sight.
If you're ever traveling through Indy, the new airport has several outposts of local joints that are fantastic - Shapiro's deli, Cafe Patachou for breakfast-type stuff, King David Dogs and Harry and Izzy's with the world famous St. Elmo shrimp cocktail to name a few.
Celebrate Steak 'n Shake's 75th Anniversary with 15-Cent Hamburgers
This is weird that it's only happening in Georgia. I'm in Indy (where SnS is headquartered) and they're not doing it here. Boo!

Yikes... that texture looks like something that's served in school cafeterias. No thanks.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks
Dry-aged, bone-in ribeye of course!
I eat ____ because it's good for me (but I don't really like it)
Every morning I have avocado and olive oil. I can't really stand avocado (except when it's guacamole) but I do it anyway.
In Videos: How the Shake Shack Makes Its Burgers
@steelecity beat me to it - this is exactly how it's done at Steak n Shake and I've used the same technique with my cast iron griddle as long as I can remember.
Gino's East: One of the Best Deep-Dish Pizzas in Chicago
I agree with you Daniel (and the previous comments as well)... they make a very good pie, but I would still prefer Lou Malnati's if I have the choice.
bud american ale
I tried it and it was just O.K. It definitely tasted like an ale (although not a good ale) but still, somehow, had flavors that were strangely like other Bud beers. Are they using rice to make it too?
Cast Iron Heirloom
I've found a good way to recondition old cast iron is to scrub it using oil and kosher salt.
Cast Iron Part 2: The Using-It Edition
Great for searing steaks and then to the broiler to finish them. Fried chicken and pork chops, obviously. Hamburgers. I also have a small cast iron pan that was my grandmother's that I use exclusively for corn bread.
Any good restaurants in Cancun?
If you don't mind getting out of Cancun proper, travel a few miles south of town to Puerto Morelos and go to John Gray's Kitchen. John was the chef at the Ritz Carlton in Cancun at one point and really knows what the hell he's doing. Creative menu, very fresh ingredients (especially seafood - most was caught the day it's served) and the town itself is still pretty unspoiled.
Seattle restaurant recommendations
They're not off the beaten path, but every time I visit Seattle I try to hit one of Tom Douglas' restaurants (www.tomdouglas.com). I've eaten at every one and won't hesitate to recommend any of them, but I'm particularly fond of Serious Pie and Etta's.
Black Iron Burger Shop Doesn't Live Up to Its Potential
One question for you Nick (or anyone else for that matter) - Do you know if there are commercial cast iron griddles on the market or are they all stainless? I've done a lot of searching and it doesn't appear anyone makes them.
Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks
I make a lobster and roasted red pepper pizza that does, in fact, rock!

4. NY style cheesecake
5. Key lime pie

Labor Day Eats - What are you making?
@jonfoxx:
It's still a few days away - you have plenty of time to drive to Indy! Just bring some of those meatatarian kabobs along with you and we'll get along fine. I have plenty of sweet corn growing in the garden and it will go in the smoker along with a few other surprises.
Perfect Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes with lobster this year. Yum.
Perfect Mashed Potatoes
Sounds perfect! Yukon gold potatoes have the best flavor & a little garlic... yummy! It sounds like I'll be skipping the turkey and having 2 helpings of potatoes!!
Perfect Mashed Potatoes
ooo!! this looks like a tasty classic.
Perfect Mashed Potatoes
We, too, love mashed potatoes as our favorite Thanksgiving side and as pure comfort foot. I use a ricer for the smoother consistency, and also use heavy whipping cream. I must say, though, that the sour cream sounds like a great alternative. We'll have to try that.
Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?
I love pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, and I will eat butternut squash right out of the rind once it's roasted. I bake pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie in autumn, not really for the holidays so much. I generally love squash. I once made pies from a squash in Peru just because it was a novelty. These squashes/gourds are so big it takes two people to carry one. It's important to remember that pies aren't just a desert - they are often the main course, filled with meats, vegetables, and spices. My family usually has pumpkin pie around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we also get tired of traditional holiday foods. Frequently, for Thanksgiving or Christmas, we will decide to have something different at the table. Last year we had an incredible Italian dish that my father prepared for Christmas, and I smoked chicken and baby back ribs for Thanksgiving. It didn't change the spirit of the holidays at all for us. So, I guess the important thing is that you enjoy what you cook and eat during the holidays.
What's the Best Cheese for Cheeseburgers?
It has to be French Doux de Montagne cheese. It says so here Pork cheeseburger with avocado :-)

Dear AHT: 'Help! I'm Allergic to Beef"
I just had an allergic reaction today with itching, hives and trouble breathing from a buffalo burger at a restaurant. I also have allergic reaction to beef with same symptoms. I've had this happen after eating a steak at a restaurant. That was my worse one, Beef tips and hamburger from restaurant and beef from store. I recently started getting the natural beef(Krogers-Laura something brand) and so far I've not had any allergy symptoms when I had this It says on the package that there are no hormones or antibiotics in it.. I took a benadryl and it makes me tired but I've heard that you can take the non drowsy claritin. I'm also wondering what they are giving to the animals now that is causing this as I never had this happen for years. This started in the last year or two. I think they are loading them with hormones and antibiotics. I've never had a reaction to chicken but I heard they use hormones on them too but it must be too small to cause a reaction. Sorry I have no solution as I miss eating steak esp. when I go out to a restaurant. They do have natural steak in the store and again no allergic reaction. I do not know about the usda labeled beef in stores. I read their info. and can make no sense out of it. Also I did not realize that bison and buffalo are different
Dear AHT: 'Help! I'm Allergic to Beef"
Hi I finally found someone with the same reaction to ground beef that I have. I have not always had this allergic reaction but it has been in the last 13 years so it makes me wonder what they are doing to our beef now that they didn't do back then. I don't always have this reaction but when I do it is severe hives. I have wondered if I sometimes get a batch that has some of the cleaning solution in it or if it is foreign beef and they have added someting to it to make it safe for USA. I can never eat at McDonalds because i always have this reaction.
Dear AHT: 'Help! I'm Allergic to Beef"
OMG....Since about May of 2008 I also have an allergy to beef/pork. At first I had no clue to what my allergy was with. I would get hives...swell up...and itch like crazy. The itching would stop if I layed down in the tub filled with warm water. I cant even eat bacon or ham....its been chicken and turkey for over a year now. Worst thing is I am sort of over paranoid about this...the itching is pure hell. I found out its not just eating...but if steamed and I am over it while being steaming...I get the reaction but not as intense. Thank god or whatever higher being you belive in that I can still drink MILK. Thank you everyone for your comments...I at least know others are in the same boat...maybe there is hope.

These pies look incredible. I'm extremely envious as I can't seem to find decent in central NJ.

Hoosier Mama: A Truly Great Big Northern City Pie Baker
I remember Poppin' Fresh before it became Baker's Square. I still have one of the pie plates with their logo on it. Growing up, a po'boy burger followed by a slice of French Silk was always my idea of heaven. And I knew mum would buy a whole pie to take home.
