Your Dining Companions Faux Pas at the Table
@MMinNYC: LMAO!! at bringing your own veggies to chop up and put into your salad! I have NEVER heard of anything like that.
At that moment, I would've wished for a black hole to swallow me up!
Poll: Cornmeal on Pizza Crust, Way or No Way?
The pizza chain Two Boots serves pizzas on cornmeal crust and they are quite delicious! So I'm gonna say WAY!
Valentine's Day Failures
I don't think you should go out on V day unless you have a reservation somewhere and know what to expect.
It's like going out on Mother's Day or Father's Day; EVERYONE wants to go out to eat and the service usually sucks.
If you're smart, you should stay home and cook your sweetie their favorite meal. Splurge and spend those extra bucks on his favorite cut of steak or a nice lobster tail for her. If you can't cook, then go out the weekend before or a few days before the actual holiday to save headaches and long waits!

National ( Food of Your Choice) Day!
Though I think there's already one, I'm going with Fried Chicken & Biscuits Day! This will include nuggets, tenders, bites, etc. Also, flaky homemade biscuits with honey butter are required.

Reality Check: New Bacon Shake from Jack in the Box
Shakes are fattening whether its candy or bacon lurking in them; I avoid them altogether.
New Sandwiches at 'wichcraft
I would eat every last one of these! Especially the aged gruyere....because I love French onion soup!
Poll: Pizza vs Wings Super Bowl SnackDown
I had wings on Friday, so I didn't want to repeat on Sunday. I ordered a pepperoni, mushroom and sausage pie from Pizza Hut and it was very good!
Here's 50 bucks....
Grilled or fried calamari and raw oysters to start
2 (7oz.) Jumbo lump crabcakes with hand-cut fries and a veggie of your choice
Baby spinach salad w/all the fixings
Grace/prayer at a dinner party
I personally don't see anything wrong with it! It's a blessing! Just roll with it and enjoy the food!
Coolio gave me a stomach ache
And it must've been good because you admit to eating alot.
We have all eaten stuff that has given us a stomachache!
Coolio gave me a stomach ache
This is your fault totally. You gave yourself the stomach ache, not Coolio.
What are YOUR Game Day Sandwich Choices?
I like grilled sausages (bratwurst or italian style) and hot dogs.
Other than that, I prefer WINGS! Best game day food!
Tipping for Carry Out?
I'm not tipping for carryout...sorry. I'm doing the work driving to and from to pick up the food.
Now if it is a large order maybe...other than that, no way!
Top Chef: What It's Like to Be a Diner at the Taping
Padma is just eye candy for the show...her cooking skills are minimal at best probably and I doubt she could ever go head to head with any real chef.
No one should be surprised at her demeanor; her attitude is always apparent on TV. She never struck me as friendly or approachable; she's a nose-in-the-air type woman!
Omaha Steak: Worst Hot Dogs Ever
Wow, that's too bad.
Hebrew National and Nathan's are my absolute favorites!
I always grill my hot dogs...its the best flavor to me!
A Sandwich a Day: The Radical Reuben at Chicago Diner
Why is a meatless version costlier???? That means it had better be DAMNED good!
Outgrown Foodnetwork ????
Snobby viewer, yes! I pose this question to most of you on here...since the overwhelming consensus about the FN is that it is no longer entertaining....what kind of shows or entertainment do you want or expect from them???
I agree some tweaking needs to be done...like cutting a few folks and some shows. (I personally love Chopped- I think its the best show on there.) You complain that the recipes are too easy but if they are too hard or complex no one will watch.
The mainstream audience are working people who I doubt have time to come home and prepare fancy meals that take hours. Most people want quick and easy meals they can prepare for a family in a reasonable amount of time. Fancier meals are usually reserved for the weekends or maybe special occasions.
If you want to cook like a five-star chef in your home all the time, by all means tackle it. They are plenty of intricate cookbooks or perhaps an advanced cooking class could help you.
Let's be real. Most recipes are repeats and reworked versions done over and over. But it is often WHO presents them and HOW they present them that makes a difference. This is why competition cooking has become so popular....it can be creative and you often see chefs using ingredients in a way you may have never considered.
Serious Entertaining: NFL Team-Themed Platters (Crackers and Toppings)
Go Ravens!!!!!
I plan on making some crab cakes....but will be purchasing Old Bay wings and some BBQ for the game!
A question of online tipping etiquette
The driver is probably getting screwed....but this isn't your fault since you have already tipped and the driver probably isn't aware of this.
I would call the restaurant and ask the manager how the online tipping works. If he assures you the specific driver who actually delivers the pizza receives the tip, then I wouldn't worry.
Otherwise, I would let the driver know next time that his tip was included with your online payment and that he needs to discuss it with his MANAGER if he doesn't receive it!
Making offhand comments to customers is rude and could cause him to lose his job.
The case of the $15. glass of wine....
I would've asked the price up front. The price seems excessive to me but in a high-end restaurant I guess that's to be expected.
Paula Deen's Diabetes Reveal
After a certain age, you know what's healthy and what isn't. Holding Paula responsible for America's health is just asinine. Her health condition is on her and no one else.
Anthony Bourdain should've kept his opinion to himself from the get go. Every chef on this planet isn't going to cook or even MEANT to cook healthy food all the damn time. If all chefs were the same, where would the excitement be in trying different foods????
AB is an arrogant prick is all!
Super Bowl Party Giveaway: Baby Back Ribs and Pulled Pork
Pigskin and pork are
Really game day perfection
Pork-a-pa-looza!
Taste Test: Grapefruit Juice
I must confess I'm not the biggest fan of grapefruit juice at all. But Simply Orange makes tasty juices so I'm more likely to try this one.
Home Slice: All-Edge Sicilian Pan Pizza (with a Nod to Detroit)
I totally love this!
