Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace in Columbus, Ohio
I'm in Columbus for a conference. We ate at Dirty Frank's last night. I had a Ohioana dog and a Zippidy Zam (good but the pepper juice melted the bun a bit). My partner had a Chicago dog. All good. One of my friends at the conference enjoyed the Nikola dog and Seoul dog. He wanted to try the Hot Bollywood dog too, but thought three hot dogs would be a little too much. :)

Very tasty, in all its forms: thin-cut and thick-cut; strips and little pieces; good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; can wrap it around other tasty things or layer with other tasty things. It's good salty and sweet and peppery (at Christmas, everyone fights over the candied thick-cut bacon that's served as a appetizer).
What Fall Foods Are You Excited For?
delicata squash, all things pumpkin, Cortland apples

Persian/Palestinian Sauteed Vegetables
I ate Persian food last fall in Louisville (Saffron's - highly recommended). I ordered Khoresht Ghaymeh (beef stew) - the predominant flavor was something really earthy. I haven't eaten henna, but that was the sense that I had. I asked the owner about the earthy flavor; he said it was the dried lime.

Cinnabon-Esque Cinnamon Rolls
I remember seeing recipes for CInnabon-y rolls that called for dry pudding mix...though I think that might have been in the pre-Web days. :)

Ethiopean, Indian, and authentic Chinese.
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
Not so hip on McDonald's but I do like FOF - always have.

101 things to do with chick peas...including chick pea flour
Chocolate-Covered Bacon for Breakfast
At my mom and stepdad's, everyone fights over the candied thick-cut bacon that's put out with holiday meals. At first taste, it's a little odd, but it grows on you.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekday Edition
We love the Hot Dog Program! I had no idea that there was so much geographic hot dog diversity.
Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
Tony Packo's in Toledo, Ohio, offers their original pickles and peppers deep fried, with an assortment of dips (ranch, salsa, or spicy ketchup). The pickles are a spicy dill, but personally, I'd rather eat the fried pepper pieces and leave the fried pickles to my dinner companions!
Fewer Laminated Paper Menus, More Periodic Tables
Almost as good as the periodic tables of the veggies and fruits/nuts that I have hanging in my kitchen!
ISO veggie burger recipe...
I like "Beet this Burger" - an oat-based burger w/ beets for color, not taste. You can find the recipe here: http://www.johnrussell.name/recipes/burgers.htm. I have to admit that I haven't been able to get them to stay in a burger-sized patty, so I make little ones in a pan with a little oil, then eat them tucked in a pita or without bread.
Banana Cream Pies in New York City
In some parts of the country, you need to be careful when ordering BCP. Here in Toledo, Ohio, Smuckers Pie Kitchen makes a BCP that is more like a stiff banana custard with merengue. Quite a shock when one is expecting pudding and whipped cream!
What are some of the best meals to freeze?
Meatloaf...plus you can make them the right size for the family.
Cook the Book: 'The Tex-Mex Cookbook'
wings and Cool Ranch Doritos (about the only time of the year I eat Doritos...)
Cook the Book: Frito Pie
When I was at Ohio State (late 1980's), one of everyone's favorite dining hall suppers was Texas Straw Hat: a handful of Fritos, a scoop of taco meat and a trip to the topping bar: cheese, sour cream, onions, salsa, taco sauce, etc.
For vegetarians, this works with TVP crumbles seasoned with taco seasoning, though RDH never offered a vegetarian option for Straw Hat when I was there.
