feel bad for the person that gets the knife that you send back after using it.

Burger Nirvana at David Burke's Primehouse in Chicago
nice review.
spinach and crispy shallots sounds pretty good.
(sorry if things got a little harsh on your "grilled" interview.)
Grilled: Daniel Zemans, Chicago Correspondent
"I just don't get the thought process that would lead someone to ask that their food have so much of its flavor cooked out of it."
... yet you will completely obscure and overwhelm all other flavors with blue cheese.
very questionable.
I like your pizza reviews though.
Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'
Kreuz's with my extended family in 1983. I was eight years old.
It was awesome.
Dessert Fail: Raspberry Beignets from The Little Owl
@ grace kang -
I read you, and I do respect your opinion as I did not eat them.
These sound way too tough.
But as I read it the first time, you were negatively criticizing the desert for two characteristics--hollow inside created by steam and chewy texture--that are inherent of beignets. and called them doughnuts. Sorry I felt that deserved a comment.
Dessert Fail: Raspberry Beignets from The Little Owl
Never been to the little owl so I'll have to trust your opinion, these might have been really bad.
However, important to note that a beignet is not a doughnut. Pretty sure a beignet is supposed to be a little chewy and hollow like the way you described, with a light crunch on the outside, at least until they get cold.
maybe you don't like beignets?
Dinner Tonight: Palak Aalu, Palak Paneer's Cousin
looks pretty good. I like peekpoke's suggestions.
but "all you need is rice"?
to serve with your potatoes?
seems like all you need is some protein.
Seriously Meatless: Caramelized Onion, Potato, and Blue Cheese Tart
great.
have enjoyed reading the herbivoracious blog before,
look forward to your column here on SE
What would be your last beer?
can a six-pack of Lone Star tallboys count as one?
How Do You Eat with a Beard?
@tynanch8 has it right. been eating with a full beard for 7 years now. found #1 to be the most helpful. can still have a long moustache and not look disproportionate with the rest of a full beard while keeping the moustache trimmed and it helps so much with drinking especially.
Three things I've found helpful:
1. Keep your moustache neatly trimmed just above your upper lip.
2. Start using your napkin more frequently and more vigorously than you have in the past.
3. When eating something sticky, use whatever you're drinking with it to clandestinely lubricate said moustache and then use your napkin to wipe it down.
Cook the Book: 'Burger Bar'
american cheese.
pickles.
raw onion.
mustard and ketchup
please.
thank you.
Video: "Which Way to Paulie Gee's?"
video worked for me.
a recap of anyone's trip to Paulie Gee's is always a treat.
that the food looked excellent is no surprise.
I thought the background music also contributed nicely to the montage.
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
Little Bombay in north austin (no longer there)
South Indian street food much loved by my vegan friend.
Mysore dosa so good.
Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking, Vol. 1'
beef fajita,
on homemade corn tortillas,
with late summer pico de gallo.
and a carta blanca 32 oz beer.
Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
4 layer honey cake for my girlfriend with a pecan-cream icing.
it was good.
The Making of Michael White's Fusilli at Marea
really interesting.
great post.
Serious Salsa: (Not Exactly) My Uncle's Salsa
great news.
as a fellow homesick texan,
her blog has long been a consoling voice.
excellent recipes too.
Slim Jim Shortage in Effect
I hear you.
I didn't think Robyn had any intention of being insensitive,
honestly.
I really didn't want to be a downer,
also being from the area, the tragedy was just more on my media radar and some the stories of of the employees' experiences were pretty intense and stayed with me.
thanks Robyn.
Slim Jim Shortage in Effect
a deadly explosion.
http://www.newsobserver.com/102/story/1563341.html
"Police have identified the victims as Barbara McLean Spears, 43, of Dunn, Lewis Junior Watson, 33, of Clayton and Rachel Mae Poston Pulley, 67, of Clayton. Wednesday's news ended an agonizing night for Pulley's family."
maybe tone down the joke a little.
sorry to be a downer, I know the linked articles don't really mention the loss of life, jobs, and injured employees and firefighters.

Wonderful news indeed.
You are some lucky SOBs in Greenpoint.....although luck had nothing to do with it.
Paulie, you know where my feelings are, but congratulations again on a dream come true. Now, make sure the pie is on point when I come up there! :)

Openings: Paulie Gee's, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
SPECTACULAR news! This is going to be a prime destination. I can't wait!!
Openings: Paulie Gee's, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
@captpizza Thanks for the good wishes. As far as ruining things goes, I'm taking a different view of it. I've been doing what I don't even like for 30 years just to earn a living. Now it's time to do what I love. All the complications in the world can't take away the feeling I get when everything goes right and I get to watch people dig into a good looking, tasty pie. Go find the picture I think Adam took of me gazing at one of my pies as I pull it out of the oven and head inside to serve it. As long as I keep focused on getting that result, the other stuff that gets thrown in front of me will be worth putting up with. And now I get the added pleasure of putting a place together for people to come and enjoy. Through my interviews, I have already met a small army of people from North Brooklyn who I can sense have a real excitement about what we'll hopefully create for everyone to enjoy. And all the red tape in the world can never take away from all of those kick ass comments just above this one.
Thanks again,
Paulie Gee
