When on the Jersey Turnpike, Eat at Popeyes

Going to Roy Rogers to eat fried chicken is like going to a steakhouse and eating a salad.

You go to RR for a burger with all the fixin's piled on high.

The Prize of Winning 'Hell's Kitchen': Executive Chef by Title Only

Just to add... I thought I heard during last week's episode (part one of the final) that the Executive Chef of London NYC was going to be THE Executive Chef at London LA and that the winner would be working under him. This was when Ramsay introduced the London NYC EC right before the EC tasted and cast his vote.

Massachusetts Supermarkets May Remove Individual Prices on Items

I was reading this article, and was sort of astounded that there was a state that didn't have price tags on the shelf. Is this really the case?

How can consumer make easy value comparisons without the unit pricing info on those labels? Individual price tags can be so deceptive. It's even worse now that some manufacturers are shrinking their packages.

This should probably should have been clarified in the original post.

New Green Milk Jug Design Cuts Costs But Is Difficult to Pour

Love the new size. It looks efficient in so many ways. But yeah, the pouring really threw me off for a while. I remember the first time, I had milk all over the table. But rock-n-pour... sounds like a winner.

The Great Strawberry Ice Cream Debate

I'd love taking the D train into the city, picking up a pint of Haagen-Daz ice cream from the little newsstand at the station. I always finished it before the train crossed the East River.

I'm not sure if anything with artificial flavors or colors is not worth mentioning as "Strawberry Ice Cream" in this discussion.

The Vanilla Ice Cream Wars

I'm not sure why people say it's just a psychological thing. The specks have a texture that is pretty obvious. And since we don't blend our steaks before eating them, I'd say that those specks can make a difference.

All other things being equal (air %, ingredient list, etc) I prefer specks.

Tiramisu. I got some "to go" last night and had it for breakfast. Do I feel guilty? Yes. Will I do it again, first chance I get? Yes.

My guilty pleasure is that I can't pass up a piece of cheescake. Any kind! Plain, fancy - as long as it is cheescake...new york style, any style - love it. Thanks for this opportunity!

I am a sweet freak with very little guilt, though every now and again I get sad for no reason. The other day I ate a spoon of Duncan Hines fudge frosting right out of the container. It was all delicious and trans fatty. Does that count?
