Home Slice Brings a Slice of NYC to Austin, Texas

So stoked to see Home Slice get some love. It's one of my favorite spots in Austin. The folks who work there are incredible. Also the staff of Home Slice are taken to NYC every year or so to eat pizza. They are dedicated folks.

Who Likes Grape Soda?

Yes! My name is Jess and I am a lover of grape soda. While I am with you and don't drink a lot of soda, when I do I like to enjoy a fruit flavored soda. I especially love grape but I also like strawberry or black cherry flavored sodas. Orange sodas can be hit or miss but I really love Cactus Cooler, orange/pineapple soda, which is something I drank during my youth in southern California.

Dear AHT: Best Burgers in Philly?

As a California style lovin' burger eater, PYT and Evolution Burger (just outside Philly in Wynnewood) come closest to those delightful west coast burgers. My favorite gourmet pub burgers are at Pub & Kitchen and Johnny Brenda's. Also a nod to SquareBurger for cranking out a simple but tasty burger and to Butcher and Singer for their weekday lunch deal.

Burger at Royal Tavern in Philadelphia

The traditional burger at Good Dog constantly gets overlook because of their stuffed burger. While I like the stuffed one, I especially love their regular old burger.

I second the suggestion for Rouge. It's a fancy burger but it's really good.

So, What Did You Make?

I made the Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon that was listed here and it was a big success!

Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'

I make this really excellent spinach and artichoke dip that my family is always asking I bring. For Thanksgiving I am always asked, by my in-laws to bring the green bean casserole. They never had it until I brought it along during my first Thanksgiving with them. I use fresh green beans and mushroom which makes such a difference.

What foods are uniquely '80s'?

To the person missing cherry 7-up they still make it. I get it in Philly all the time.

Having grown up in southern California in the 80's I desperately miss Cactus Cooler. I also loved Monterey Jack Cheese Doritos.

I did a lot of dining at Sizzler in the 80's.

In Videos: 12-Mile Walk for Free Cheeseburger

Living in Philly, there are many days when I would walk 12 miles for a double double at In-N-Out.

Blue 9 Burger

Thank you for this! I crave a double double at least every other day and being in Philly doesn't help. At least I know I can get something similar without having to fly 3000 miles to my hometown.

What childhood food do you wish they still made?

Oh yes I miss Planter's cheese balls, Keebler Tater skins and the Pizzarias. I also miss Monterey Jack cheese flavored Doritos. Chicken Little's from KFC were also great.

Serious Sandwiches: Chick-Fil-A's Chick-n-Minis

Oh how I miss the chicken littles. A few years ago, my friend was still able to get them at a KFC in her hometown in Indiana. She would get a bunch and bring them back to Philly for us. I guess they soon realized that they were like 15 years behind on not serving them and stopped. The mini's are a decent substitute though I always crave them on Sundays when chick-fil-a is closed. Sigh.

My favorite store-bought cookie is _____

I am currently enjoying Trader Joe's candy cane Joe Joe's. While it is a seasonal treat I also enjoy the basic Joe Joe's occasionally. Oh and both must be enjoyed with a large glass of milk.
