Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Filet Mignon Roast from Pat LaFrieda Meats

Always love myself a good rib-eye.

I assume the contest deadline (Dec 31, 1PM) needs an update?

The Crab Pot: One Crab

Even though most of your pieces make me cringe, I've loved reading them all. The enthusiasm shown through the writing is pretty fun.

My (Sort Of) First Taste of White Castle's Burgers

I love White Castle, but even I am hesitant about going to the hole-in-wall joints that may or may not share space with other brands.

I also get them sans ketchup or pickles. The steam grilled beef, cooked onions, and soft juiced buns are what do it for me. Tempered with hot fries and unlimited carbonated drinks to balance any overwhelming factors.

Late night type snack food occasionally eaten during actual meal times. That's all I expect.

Fasta Pasta, The Microwavable Pasta Cooker

Wow. I didn't know Serious Eats was so filled with quick-to-judge haters.

Considering you're boiling 1/4 the water for 1/2 the time, this is a great way to do one's part.

Same results in less time and less energy and all people want to do is bash it uninformed or with unbelievable nitpicks. I'll give some respect to the health concern (though this is a different plastic), but I'm not going to concern myself with a POTENTIAL 0.00001% risk factor at this time - cell phone use should probably be a bigger worry.

My McDonald's Shamrock Shake Journey: An Emotional Roller Coaster

Aww. I would have picked one up for you at the Atlantic City McDonald's (the one right off the AC Expressway) this morning. Or at least ordered one in your honor. They have them there and lots of signage to that effect.

Blogwatch: Lobster Bisque

Yum. I never would have thought to make lobster bisque on my own. I'd probably to end up getting impatient and eating all the lobster before the soup part was done.

Blogwatch: Clementine Granita

Darn it. I was just at the supermarket and was going to buy a box of clementines, but me, being dumb, decided not to.

Blogwatch: Polynesian Glazed Wings

This is perfect! I needed an idea for 3 pounds of wings without doing the soy-garlic thing again.

Blogwatch: Grapefruit Curd

Everything good in the universe? Then where is the bacon and curd recipe?

Blogwatch: Jam Cake

I would have called "five-second rule" before baking a whole new cake. Especially if no one else was looking, and my stopwatch was broken.

Blogwatch: Roasted Garlic and Winter Squash Soup

Mmmm. Yum. A nice bowl of roasted garlic goodness sure would go down good right about now.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks

Love me a good ribeye. But two porterhouses from Peter Luger will do in a pinch.

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.

From Sweets

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.
