@joyyy My kids tastes are very adventurous.

Is Attman's Deli any good?

Glad to see my neighborhood finally getting some recognition as the food mecca it has become! Mimi's is the best hummus in the city, hands down, and Mimi herself is also great. She always gives my daughter a free almond cookie when we eat there.

There's also a Japanese restaurant and a branch of Bagels by the Park coming soon. Now they just have to start getting rid of a few of the many fast food Chinese places...

Thanks for the great recs so far! I'm going to have my 5 month old with me, so not sure Craft will work :) Attari sounds very interesting. Would also be interested in cheap but good Mexican & Vietnamese.

@jpolk, you are not off base, which is why I said in the post, "I probably should have started with a well-aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, which has very little lactose left in it after all that aging..."

Ingested many thousands of calories during college here. Salpepporegano?

@LikesToEatJunk, I think using McDonald's as a gauge is a smart approach. I wouldn't be surprised to see goat cheese in their "premium" salads, sometime soon.

@maxcriden, eat it with a spoon!

Deborah Madison has a similar, vegetarian recipe that's absolutely delicious. It's in her Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone book.

I absolutely think that print critics will go the way of the dinosaurs. (Print itself will go the way of the dinosaurs--it's far too expensive to produce relative to websites.) But there will always be influential people on the web whose voices carry farther and louder than others. Whether that's people being paid to write on a blog like this, or people doing it for free on Yelp, doesn't much matter.

What does matter is that restaurants won't be able to get away with preferentially treating critics over regular customers anymore. Hopefully this will mean we all get better food and service! Restaurants will be on their best behavior, frightened that any disappointed guest could air their grievances so publicly.

@kate9019, Where are you located? I would recommend finding a good local cheesemonger, if possible, and asking them to help you through this process. It can certainly be overwhelming. You can also check out my continuing "101" series of posts here, which give you a background on some of the different types of cheese. Do a search up at the top of this page for 'cheese 101' (without the quotes).

@mncheese, Have you tried Wacky Mac? http://www.noyolks.com/mac_cheese.html

What a waste of sauerkraut.
