Dinner Tonight: Club Sandwich
I love club sandwiches....they MUST contain mayo and bacon, or dammit it just isn't a club!
The Super Scooby, UK's Biggest Burger
A free can of diet soda???? LOL, this will be a CINCH for a competitive eater.
Should Restaurants Be Allowed To Ban Laptops?
I don't see a problem as long as management makes the rules clear up front. There should be a time limit if the restaurant is busy but other than that, I don't see an issue.
iVillage Knocks off the Chick-fil-A Lettering?
Don't really see the comparison; similarity yes, but not enough to say its ripped off.
Throwdown: Chick-fil-A vs. McDonald's Southern Style Chicken
I really hate pickles on a chicken sandwich period, no matter who makes it! I always pick them off!
Throwdown: Chick-fil-A vs. McDonald's Southern Style Chicken
Chick-Fil-A definitely has the better sandwich but McDonald's is not a bad second if you can't get to CFA! McDonald's is open later and on Sundays!
The Fish in Filet-O-Fish Sandwiches at Risk
Come on now the Filet-o-Fish has never been a candidate for FRESH FISH but I must admit I find it tasty!

Leftovers: The Day's Stray Links
B-more on the map! This is my hometown and Kooper's Tavern has pretty good food!
Haven't had the burger yet though so I will be chasing down the truck!
The Best in the West: A Rib Sampler
Ribs are definitely one of my favorite foods....and all of those above look totally awesome!!!
Those are clearly baby backs in the pics and though I will devour those too in a heartbeat, I prefer the St. Louis cut because they are meatier!

Looks seriously rare to me! They should've been more accomodating...
The Brunch Dish: Vermont Banger at DBGB
Maybe include an egg too.....
The Brunch Dish: Vermont Banger at DBGB
I bet this is great but clearly overpriced! At least two sausages, a bigger wedge of hash browns AND some toast would make this worthy of $14.
Chicago's Honey 1 BBQ
I adore BBQ and this looks so tasty! Making me want a slab right now!
Grilled: Daniel Zemans, Chicago Correspondent
Rare??? Totally disgusting! Why not just eat a chunk of raw ground beef-it's essentially the same thing!
Reality Check: Burger King's Double Cheeseburger
I hate some of the burger snobs on here!
It's a f**king dollar--wtf do you think you are going to get? Kobe beef??
BK has the better tasting double cheeseburger and will do if your funds are really low! Shame on you if you think you are too good to eat a $1 hamburger!
How many times a day do you eat?
Is this a trick question?? Whenever I'm hungry!
How Do You Define a Grilled Cheese Sandwich?
Grilled cheese is just cheese, plain and simple!!! Anything else on it disqualifies it from grilled cheese status!
The grilled cheese in the 1st pic looks soooo scrumptious! I wanna break out the frying pan right now!
World's Strangest Fast-Food Items
I know a lot of people that love McGriddles but they are just too sweet for me! After going through the list, I think Burger King's "Chicken Fries" are weird; haven't tried them but BK doesn't have good chicken products so I bet they ARE disgusting!
Dinner Tonight: Okra Curry
nithya is correct - the key is to avoid having any water at all left on the okra after washing it. And it's very difficult to dry. Dry it completely!
Once dry, and sauteed Indian style, you will have no problem with glueyness or ooze - it's a totally different thing from the okra many Americans have encountered growing up - texturally delicate, with rich, meaty flavor.
The Best Fried Chicken Recipe Ever?
I'd like to comment about something Dave Faris wrote: "Bacon, butter, AND lard? Come on. My cardiologist just had a heart attack hearing about this recipe."
Let me try to put Mr. Faris' fears to rest. In 1900 heart disease and heart attacks were so rare that the adverage doctor didn't know how to treat it.
In 1930, when the population of the US was 123,000,000 there were 3000 heart attacks deaths recorded. Which means the odds of having a heart attack that year was 42,000 to 1. In 1960 when the population of the US was 197,000,000 there were 500,000 heart attack deaths. Why? Answer: Diet. Everyone was using "Bacon, butter, AND lard" back in the 1800's with no heart disease as a result. It wasn't until after 1930 that everyone started using "heart healthy" vegetable oils and margarine, low fat this and low fat that. The result? The odds of dying of a heart attack in 1950 was about 3500 to 1.
Got Lard?
iVillage Knocks off the Chick-fil-A Lettering?
You must be kidding. chick fil a loses hands down with no contest. They will not even put ketchup in pump dispensers. Their management in Royersford Pa. claim after talking to their consultants that the packets cost more and are more environmentally friendly. Yes that is right a unit volume of ketchup in a packet costs more than a unit volume of bulk ketchup. But wait if no one goes to open the inconvenient packet then the packets are cheaper because no one uses them due to the nuisance. The packet is environmentally friendly until opened. If the bulk ketchup is dispensed into the french fry pouch at McDonalds how is that environmentally unfreindly. Shame on the loser.

Photo of the Day: 28-Layer Rainbow Cake
wow! that's magical. I've also wanted to make a rainbow cake, but this goes beyond rainbow...it's more of a paint palette.
Photo of the Day: 28-Layer Rainbow Cake
Really lovely. I wonder how many food colorings/dyes they used. And how big the layer is? looks almost like a little tart pan?
Photo of the Day: 28-Layer Rainbow Cake
To me, this is nothing short of stunning. I love it. It must have been a real labour of love.
