Bottom Shelf Beer: Which Is The Best Superlight Beer?

Lots of craft brewers around the country are making low alcohol beer options but I guess that wouldn't fit the "bottom-shelf" name. Jester King's Le Petit Prince in TX comes to mind.

We Ate at Pop-Tarts World in Times Square

I have to agree with a few of the other folks on here. Why would you send someone who does not like Pop-Tarts to review Pop-Tarts World? Is this a new slant to be seen more on SE? Perhaps a new reviewer for Slice who doesn't like pizza?

Chick-fil-A's Spicy Chicken Sandwich

I also find Chick-fil-A to be quite delicious. However, it is the great customer service that puts them over the top.

Lastly, even as a non-Christian, I commend Chick-fil-A for standing up for their beliefs.

'Slice' Poll: Pineapple Pizza - Way or No Way?

Chain Burger Brackets: Whataburger vs. Five Guys

@Redfish

I find your comment a bit confusing. You've eaten at a Whataburger and it is good but only for people whose other experience is at McDonald's?

So, do you not feel at home at Five Guys?

Beloved Texas-Based Chain Whataburger Makes a Fine Fast Food Burger

I've been in Texas 4 years now and didn't really care much for Whataburger at first. However, a double meat/double cheese with jalapenos is now required a couple times a month. I guess it has just grown on me.

The crowning achievement of Whataburger in my opinion though is the patty melt!

Poll: Is It Pizza If It Doesn't Have Cheese?

@Damian I do not think I'm missing the point. I just don't think it is necessary to belittle those who think this is not pizza.

@Lou Wow, "Americanized Pizza Hogs" is pretty rough. You must be an angry little man who some American did something bad to somewhere along the line.

Poll: Is It Pizza If It Doesn't Have Cheese?

Lou T - I have tried a marinara pie made by someone that knows what their doing and I still prefer mine with cheese. I'm betting a lot of people on this site have as well for the simple reason that they are reading and commenting on this website.

I see a trend here in that you must make a disparaging comment on just about every thread these days....

Poll: Is It Pizza If It Doesn't Have Cheese?

At my house pizza must have cheese on it.

However, in a restaurant or at someone else's house I am happy to call it anything they want as long as it tastes good.

The Burger Lab's Top Ten Tips for Making Better Burgers

Kenji,

First I must thank you in guiding me to make the best hamburgers our friends and family have ever had. However, I have now been designated the burger guy for all future cook-outs which will cut into my beer drinking time during said events..

A few comments to each of your points.

1. I used equal (2lbs. each) parts sirloin, brisket, and short rib which was incredible. I put it in the freezer a few hours before starting to make the chopping a bit easier.

2. Great comment about keeping everything cold. I tried to make homemade sausage one time with the KitchenAid and it was a mess due to the fat gunking up the machine. I now realize it was because everything was not cold enough.

3. I bought the weigher and knocked out a good bit of 6oz, 4oz, and 3oz patties such that I could experiment with different size burgers. We did the 6oz patties on the grill, split the 4oz patties between the grill/cast iron skillet, and did all of the 3oz patties in the cast iron skillet. (2) 3 oz patties from the cast iron skillet with 2 slices of cheese seemed to be the most popular burger with the 6oz from the grill close behind.

8. I think this is a great comment as well. After grinding the meat, I weighed out all of the patties and put them onto a cookie sheet. I then got an assortment of those plastic patty makers to make the burgers. I think a lot of people laugh at these patty makers but it sure seemed to work well.

Anyway, I think I'll have one of these leftover burgers for breakfast..

Discovering the Fifth Taste at Umami Burger in Los Angeles

I have to give 2 thumbs up to Umami burger. We tried it earlier this month when visiting for the BCS championship. All of our friends met at LAX and thought I was crazy for leading them to Umami late Wednesday night. Everyone agreed these were some of the best burgers we had in awhile. We ordered every burger on the menu so everyone got to taste different ones. We also enjoyed all of the desserts.

The owners and waiters were also really nice about giving us suggestions for other places to eat and party during our visit.

Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria

Thanks for the pizza tips!

We tried Antica Pizzeria while out for the BCS championship game earlier this month. I may be a bit limited in my pizza experience but that was the best pizza we had ever had.

We had a Pizza Quattro Formaggi w/proscuitto and Pizza Calabrese.

The owner waited our table after we mentioned we heard of his place on slice. It was also really nice sitting outside enjoying the CA weather and a Crimson Tide NC.

One of Houston's Best Burgers at Stanton's City Bites

Hello All,

I'm a long time AHT reader from Houston but have never commented before. However, this is my favorite burger place in Houston and at $3.50 for a bacon cheeseburger it is quite a steal. I like to pick up a bag full of these burgers for our employees every now and then.
