This is $31 per person, right? Because I'd love to go here with my boyfriend but $31/person is pretty expensive, especially for broke college students like me :(

My birthday always falls on/around thanksgiving, so my family often celebrates it on thanksgiving. I'm sick and tired of crappy dry oven baked turkey. Buffalo fried turkey? Now THAT is something I'd have for a thanksgiving/birthday combo dinner, especially since one of my favorite foods is buffalo wings! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it... Great article Kenji!

Wow, everyone who is complaining about the Ads needs to get a hold of themselves. If you don't want these Advertisement Recipes, why don't you just NOT READ THEM? Is it that difficult to scroll a little extra and ignore them? If SE needs money to continue running, then let them do what they need to do to get some cash. Seriously, way to be elitist, just because a corporate sponsored recipe happened to "take over" and "taint" an insignificant fraction of SE content. It's Campbell's fault they chose to use a recipe so unappetizing...

Happy Birthday belated birthday, Kenji!

For a second when I saw that picture, it looked like the results of a prank involving ordering a dozen pizzas and delivering it to somebody without their consent. Good thing it was delicious pizza :)

I had takoyaki for the first time this summer at Osaka. I would do anything to have some good takoyaki again! Anyone know someplace that sells takoyaki in NYC?

Oh yeah, and there's this unbelievably cute takoyaki song I heard at some of the gift shops in Osaka:

I love Abba-Zabas! I haven't had one in a few years, but now I might just go buy one the next time I find them. Usually I would freeze the bars and eat them. The taffy would be hard to bite into at first, but then it shatters into bits and pieces, just barely sticking onto the peanut butter filling. As I chewed the taffy, it just became a sticky, dentist's nightmare. I swear I felt cavities forming after each bite.

Thanks for introducing me to Momo's, Sara!

I went to Bhim's cafe with my boyfriend yesterday afternoon, and we got a plate of chicken and a plate of beef. I'm a big fan of thin-skinned dumplings, since I've pretty much grown up on gyoza my grandmother makes. The momos were extremely satisfying, and the orange sauce was delicious! We're definitely coming back during the winter though, because we feel the curry heat and hot dumplings would be great when it's freezing out :)

You biters are no fun. When I see somebody bite string cheese instead of string it, it's like as if I just witnessed a person chomp off the head of a squirrel or something. Pure horror

I would always tell myself to take a picture of what I eat, but most of the time I forget because I'm starving! Also, my cell phone camera is terrible and I have pretty poor skills with my DSLR (I should force my bf to teach me), so I don't take a picture that often. It's a shame because I've made great looking food before but photo-documenting it slips my mind :(

Self checkout all the way, though, I wish people who don't know how to use it would do us self checkout-savvy customers a big favor and NOT use it. I get extremely impatient when I'm next in line and the person in front of me is taking years to get whatever they want. I should help the people in front of me though, since the workers at my local supermarket don't pay attention to the self checkout at all when they're on shift for it. Damn my extreme shyness!

Oh man, thanks so much you guys :)
Due to lack of judgement and eating 7 white castle burgers the night before, I wasn't feeling well enough to go to the City. However, I'm going tomorrow, and hopefully the weather will be okay enough ...

THANK YOU!!!!

A few weeks ago when I was eating at an all-you-can-eat brunch on my college campus, they gave me a giant pile of bacon along with my sponge-eggs, and I picked up a brownie with a ton of icing. My friend and I decided to scrape off some of the icing since the brownie tasted terrible, and try it with the bacon...

Least to say it was... "interesting" :O

I couldn't stop staring at the peninsula of hair on his head...
