When I first had Dick's, I intensely disliked the fries. Over the years, though, I have come to appreciate their limp, salty greasy charms. Two cheeseburgers, a fry, and a (hand-dipped, individually whipped) chocolate shake: yum.

Best of luck. Now I'll have to find out when and where I can see the show.

I found your article teaser to be very misleading regarding grass-fed beef. Mr Ozersky expresses distaste for grass-fed beef in vague, unsupported terms: "Most grass-fed beef tastes worse than its corn-fed rivals. It tends to be dry, chewy, flavorless and has no more marbling than a block of tofu." I'll pretend he threw in "in my experience", and fully expect that his experience is broader than mine. My own experience with Australian grass-fed beef is markedly different. He also offers the qualified statement that, because so much grass-fed beef is from South America, "Depending on where it comes from, [it] may not be better for the environment." I'd like to think we can most of us agree that rainforest beef is to be avoided. Serious eaters should be serious about the provenance of their food.
What Ozersky does not address, though, is whether grass-fed beef is better for the eater, and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that the higher proportion of omega-3 fatty acids and lower saturated fat content make it likely to be healthier food than the oddity that is corn-fed beef.

Swiss and dijon (and, well, ham)

Who could fail to love Perfect Mashed Potatoes?

Ham in Coca-Cola -- with Mexican or Kosher Coke, to avoid the HFCS.

Cook's Illustrated's Roasted Brined Turkey looks good to me.

I [heart] my Soda-Club carbonator, though something is wrong with it (it inappropriately lets gas escape), so we'll be testing the warranty service shortly. I [skull], though, the flavors they offer. Even the non-diet varieties include sucralose, which is entirely uncalled-for. When we feel like flavors, we just use DaVinci or Torani syrups.
