Our Favorite Pies in America

That chocolate haupia pie from Ted's is indeed fabulous (as is pretty much everything from Ted's). Your description is backwards, though: the chocolate layer is topped with haupia, not the other way around.

Are Carl's Jr. and Hardee's the Same?

I've never been to Carl's Jr., but FWIW I can state unequivocally that Hardee's is absolutely horrendous. Worst fast food burgers/everything else ever.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham

With some spicy brown mustard, on some hearty wheat bread. That's it. Don't need no stinkin' cheese or nothin'.

Hot Dog of the Week: 24-Hour Dog

The hot dogs at QuikTrip (a gas/conv store chain in the Midwest and South) are quite tasty. They're a guilty pleasure, as are the QuikTrip taquitos. Horrible and delicious at the same time.

Large-Scale Enticing Food Smells

The Folger's plant is still open in Kansas City, isn't it? I work in downtown KC and if the wind is right, the coffee smell is fabulous (and I don't even drink coffee.)

There are some lofts in the building next door to the plant. They're called the Coffee Lofts.

The Good Pie, Bringing Neapolitan-Style Pizza to St. Louis

Geez, stewmeat, like St. Louis pizza much? That Velveeta-and-ketchup thing was a little joke. I apologize that the Internet does not allow you to see that my tongue is ensconced firmly in my cheek.

(I will say this, though: It's okay not to like something. The kind of pizza you like or do not like says nothing about how intelligent or open-minded you are. So take a deep breath, friend, and ease up on the insults just because someone you've never met made a joke about a thing you like to eat.)

Look, my wife's family is from St. Louis, and I have tried St. Louis-style pizza--Imo's, Cecil Whittaker's, etc.--more times then I care to count. And every time I try it, I think... maybe it'll be tasty this time. And know what? It never is.

It's not the crust: I actually kind of like the crust. It's that nasty provel "cheese." Melts nice, sure, but it's as much "cheese" as Velveeta.

But hey, my wife loves the stuff. Doesn't mean I think she's stupid. Doesn't mean she's ignorant or closed-minded. It means she enjoys the taste of something that other people do not necessarily enjoy.

The Good Pie, Bringing Neapolitan-Style Pizza to St. Louis

St. Louis-style pizza is so awful, this Good Pie has to be an improvement. (St. Louis-style pizza is easy to make at home: ketchup and Velveeta on a saltine cracker. Enjoy!)

I hate to repeat an answer, but great minds think alike: spicy brown mustard.

I finally made it over there to my local Five Guys here in KC... One of the best burgers I've ever had! Good call.

Do Restaurants Get A Political Voice?

sarag22: Well, that's different, obviously. I would not fault anyone for avoiding an eatery owned by that lunatic!

From Serious Eats: New York

Do Restaurants Get A Political Voice?

Restaurant owners absolutely have a right to say whatever they want, just as consumers absolutely have a right to choose to shop wherever they want.

That said... if being around people with different political views makes you "uncomfortable," then perhaps you need to get out more.

Five Guys Opening Soon in Chicago

They just opened a location in Kansas City, but I haven't had a chance to get over there yet. Any good? Worth my time?

Cook the Book: Grill Every Day

Definitely something in the sausage family. Bratwurst, frankfurters, etc.
