@spiced ham - great idea and I'd love to, but Adam beat me to it! Take a look here.

Where to Eat Frozen Custard in Milwaukee

That blueberry shake photo is killing me. Why must the nearest Culver's be over 5 hours away? *weeps*

What's the Best Way to Brew Iced Coffee?

Aeropress over ice with some mint chocolate chip ice cream is pretty much the best thing ever.

Staff Picks: Design Your Dream Ben & Jerry's Flavor

@jordanu: there actually was a carrot cake flavor a few years ago (Walmart exclusive). According to this review, it was awesome.

I'll share the idea I passed along on my B&J's trip: "Totally Fried" - cinnamon ice cream with a honey caramel ribbon and chocolate-covered cornflake crisps, like Mexican fried ice cream. Make it happen Ben & Jerry's!

Share Your Sweets: Your Best Sweet Recipes

This might be the best Share Your Sweets ever! I love Tipsykit's idea of using the second pizza dough ball for a dessert pizza.

@absolutebrent you are correct. I had the wage/burger cost backwards. It's fixed now.

Coconut Rice With Chicken Thighs

I have the same question as fusionor. I made this last night and had to add at least an extra cup of stock. Is the 1/3 cup of stock a typo?

Are These the Top 10 In-N-Outs in America?

@FuzzyWater: you are correct! I have made the adjustment. Thank you :)

The 'Influential' Burger (That Influences You to Order Chili Dogs Instead) at The Varsity in Atlanta

GROUP HUG. Bring it in, guys. Those burger photos are truly the most depressing sight I've seen all year.

Poll: Pineapple on Burgers: Way or No Way?

@ eilonwy: funny you say that because I've never had pineapple on a burger! Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something?

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Perfect One-Layer Cake

@Elizabeth: I share your love of one-layer cakes, a love that was also inspired by my mom. This recipe reminds me of a gluten-free version of our standard family cake, which was called a "Cheap Jack" for reasons I never questioned. Buttercream icing is definitely the way to go. I'd sometimes add a drop of red food coloring to make it look more like a birthday cake.

Big Brew Pub Burgers at Sprecher's Restaurant and Pub in Milwaukee

Does that burger in the top image really have a mini burger speared into the top as a garnish? So adorable. Can't stand it.

Get King Cake Burgers from Food Drunk in New Orleans

@kgavins: thanks for the mini-review!

Supermarket Sweets: We Try the New French Toast Goldfish Grahams

@Tipsykit37: the cookies and cream were awesome, but I have to give the French toast the edge, since they were more flavorful and I could stop at a small handful. The rest of the sweet Goldfish flavors (and any graham-based cookie, for that matter) only fuels my craving for MORE COOKIES, Teddy Grahams being one of the worst offenders.
