Is Locavorism For Rich Folks Only?

It's definitely for people that are better off, financially. The price difference,availability and education of the consumer on the topic being the main reasons. I love a nice delicious locally grown tomato, etc but I cannot justify the price difference to a working single mother of 3 or 4 struggling with a shoestring budget. Can you? If you can, you are being sanctimonious and are just as oblivious as Alice Waters,et al. to any real struggle happening everyday. Also, the inner city population is not going to listen to some hippie locavore talking about 15 dollar grapes. Sorry not gonna happen.

Went to this on Friday. Lined up at 6:45 and got in around 7:20 or so.

I loved the soup,as well. It was incredible on the slightly chilly night. Broth was almost pho-esque. Went back 2 more times for it while a friend waited on line for the steak cubes. Which,in turn, I thought were ok, but seemingly phoned-in. Bo-Ssam was tasty, as was the fried corn w/ scallop butter. The cheese course was good but a little too cold out. I thought the chicken-neck thing wylie did was just ok and I skipped the ribs because the line was long and it didn't sound all that exciting. Glasses of wine at 12 bucks was a little crazy and skimpy on the pour. A friend was told that they had to get 6 glasses out of a bottle. yikes. All in all it was a good time and if you didn't drink, not a bad value at all.

The Stuffed Cheeseburger at the Iron Horse in Westwood, New Jersey, and the Failbun

I remember the mason jar in mahwah, near ramsey, had a pretty good burger (this was about 10 years or so ago)... but I don't remember it being on focaccia... eek,

The Carney's Burger Trainwreck in Studio City, California

I've only eaten at the Sunset location, but yeah the burger here was just ok, I preferred the dog to be honest. I'd hike it to Irv's for a much better burger in that area.

Irving Mill: Praise the Lard!

I ate here for dinner a few weeks ago... The burger was really awesome and it was one of the few things about the place I liked. But the rest of it was unimpressive. I didn't really like the room. It almost felt like I was in a gussied up Outback. I think the waiter we had kept forgetting or taking forever with beers that we ordered and in general wasn't really attentive. the rest of the food we had (gnocchi,blanc dog,raw bar stuff, the flap steak amongst others)was just ok. The other people I was with did not order the burger. They probably won't be going back. I would stop by if I was in the area for the burger. It was really rich and full flavored. Can't fault it at all.

You guys are nuts. I LOVE Carney's. I have been going to the one on Sunset for 30 years now. That kind of food will kill you, so I try to keep it down to once a month. But I just love the Double chili burgers. You have to ask for Cheddar cheese, otherwise they will give you American cheese, and I HATE American cheese. The fries are better than McDonalds (The only good thing that you can get at McDonalds) The Chili dogs are Ok, but I prefer the Polish sausage with chili. Along with Fatburger, Carney's is absolutely the best!!!!

Honey-Brined and Smoked Turkey
Smoked turkey is a huge favorite of mine! Last week we made smoked turkey legs for our weekly BBQ soaked the hickory chips in beer and then finished off with a glaze of bbq sauce. A grill does just fine for a smoker, gas or charcoal.

I decided to give a recipe a test run before Thanksgiving, so I made the corn bread dressing with pecans and bacon last night and prepared it with chicken.

Delicious! This one is definitely going on the table Thanksgiving day.
