Haggis, Coming to the United States?

That's good news! I was just thinking about haggis. The wife went to St. Andrews so I have had lots of haggis here and in the UK. I love it. Although I will agree with other comments in that I could do without the lungs ('lights' as they are called in the UK). To me the best haggis is the heart/liver variety. Happy Burns Night!

The Food Lab: How To Make The Best Chili Ever

Great article! And very nice flavor thought process. And I am glad you eschewed ground beef and went with chopped seared short ribs. True bolognese sauce is made this way also, the braising breaking the beef down so that it falls apart into beautifully textured little strands. Ground beef does not easily allow for this and, as you mentioned, rarely ever browns. For my chili I like to try to get a little pork in there somewhere as well. But I will definitely use your chili pepper puree process in the future. Thanks!

The Food Lab: Is Good Pizza Really All About the Water?

Excellent article. Thank you for being so rigorous with such an important topic. I actually conducted my own pizza experiment with 'all purpose' vs. 'double zero' flour. Check it out here: www.demianrepucci.com Thanks again. And keep up the great work!

What's the Worst Burn You've Endured While Eating?

Eating dim sum in Hong Kong I bit into a soup dumpling that shot molten broth onto the roof of my mouth. Everyone at the table, including my wife, was laughing at my pain contorted face. They stopped laughing, of course, when I showed them the quarter-sized blister that then blew up there. But I guess it was a good excuse to eat ice cream popcicles for the next two days.

Quality thai places in the city

Sripraphai without a doubt. The crispy fried watercress salad is a must. Our last dinner there we brought a visitng aunt and uncle after an afternoon at the US Open. I suggested we get off the 7 and go to Sripraphai. The wife was fuming at me because she was tired and just wanted to go home and have leftovers. To her defense, she was pregnant at the time... but, hey, when guests are in town I feel the need to make sure that NY food blows them away. And Sripraphai nailed it that night. Even with just the few dishes we ate. I was initially bummed when uncle ordered vegetable curry. I thought it would be one of those 'just-in-case' dishes on the menu for non-meat eaters. I wasn't interested in trying it buy when uncle said it was a little too spicy for him I gave it a try to test it out. Amazing! Even after a super delicious crispy watercress salad this vegetable curry was the best dish of the night. Depth, complexity, heat - it had it all. Sripraphai truly has a lot going for it. Evidently I need to explore the menu further. And the wife has come around too since aunt and uncle still rave about the meal. I can't wait to find another excuse to go back there!

Jim Lahey Pontificates on Pizza

Interesting interview...
I recently wrote my own review of Co.
The restaurant is pretty similar to its pizza - super ingredients and passion for purity... but rough around the edges.

Snapshots from Meatball Madness

Thanks for the photos. With all that bun-age in the shots, it looks like several chefs whished they were in the burger competition. Too much bread! Michael Cirino of A Razor, A Shiny Knife looking sharp as always. But what happened to Josh Ozersky's noggin? Did he get into a food fight? Their meatballs had a molten veal tomato sauce suspended within the fried pork and panko shell. Super delicious (I helped make them). I posted about A Razor's dinner on Saturday night at www.demianrepucci.com
