The Serious Eats National Doughnut Honor Roll
Not only is Zingerman's not the best donut in Michigan, it's not even the best cake donut in Ann Arbor! (That would be Washtenaw Dairy.)
Paper or Canvas? (Adios, Plastic)
how will I pick up my dog poo?!
A change of heart concerning Sandra Lee.
I didn't watch the show, but I've always been a little uncomfortable with the personal vitriol directed at Sandra Lee (and Rachel Ray, and a few others). I certainly don't watch her show, and wouldn't make any of her recipes, but that doesn't mean she's not a good person. Good for FN for humanizing her.

America's Best Ice Cream
I prefer Graeter's to Jeni's...though I also prefer Denise's to Jeni's. As far as I'm concerned, Jeni's is vastly overrated.

Asking for "odd" amounts
I'm confused. It's not a question of math or fractions at all to know that "nine-tenths" is the same as "point-nine." I think that's pretty standard. I think the poor deli worker's confusion was not that she didn't get the math, but that she had never heard someone ask for such a specific amount. To speculate about her education is frankly uncalled for, particularly in a post with spelling errors and a complete disregard for capitalization and other grammatical niceties.
Back to the Grind for Starbucks
if you want me to hang out, starbucks, two words: free. internet.
Boneless Skinless Fried Chicken.
As one of the previous commenters said, I've done it with chicken tenders and also with chicken breast cut into chicken finger-size strips. It's worked out quite well, but they're more like chicken fingers than like good-ol' fried chicken even with the same battering process. Something about working around the bones makes it what it is, I guess.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Fortune Cookie Chronicles'
My favorite was "the crying baby gets the milk" which I assume is the fortune cookie version of "the squeaky wheels gets the grease" but somehow more disturbing and more hilarious all the time.
It also came true.
In Videos: Creepy '70s McDonald's Commercial
They were sued for these ads, too, and lost--the court found they infringed the copyright on H.R. Pufnstuf. So creepy AND unoriginal. Good work, Mickey D's.
In Videos: Jennifer 8. Lee on 'The Colbert Report'
so, her middle initial is the number eight?
Pickle Sickle, Anyone?
I'm feeling a little sickle to my stomachle just thinking about it.

Wow.. none from Missouri? Even Alton Brown knew of the legendary spots in St. Louis.

Thank you homesicktexan. I agree and was pretty much shocked that Shipley's was not even mentioned that it is from Houston. Some of my favorite glazed doughnuts when they are fresh!!!

No Sweetwaters?? Thats my favorite shop of all time. http://www.sweetwatersdonuts.com/default2.asp?active_page_id=130
I like the peanut butter and jelly donuts, and Reese's is always a crowd pleaser.

The warm, cream-filled brioche doughnut LAMILL COFFEE (1636 Silver Lake Blvd, Los Angeles) is an LA thrill comparable to David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. Hours after you're done you're still thinking about it, still trying to figure out what it was. The doughnut does not seem quite large enough to hold all that pastry cream filling. Maybe there is magic in those specks scraped from Madagascar vanilla beans. The fact the LAMILL serves great great coffee makes this the ultimate donut experience.

If you ever get to Lexington, KY (or are traveling through, I75 and I64 meet here..) and you love good doughnuts, you have to try Spauldings Bakery at 430 W Vine St. Lexington, KY 40507 (859) 233-4567 - call first if it is during the summer, they close for two weeks for vacations and are closed on Tuesdays year-round...and there is a big line to buy doughnuts EVERY time I go - stretches around the whole inside of the bakery and sometimes you have to wait outside! I have lived a lot of places and never had doughnuts that come close to these!

Terrytown Donuts is a great neighborhood place in New Orleans. Oh, and Shipley's isn't just in Oxford, Miss.; it's been a Hattiesburg, Miss. staple for decades.

I'll have to try Teo's sometime soon, according to their website they also have the best Espresso in Austin. We'll see!
America's Best Ice Cream
Unassuming, simple, home-made, organic and heavenly delicious Moorenko's in Silver Spring, MD is a hidden gem. Try the white chocolate pistachio and you will discover why. YUM!!
America's Best Ice Cream
capogiro is truly bananas. best gelato in the US.
but ciao bella? just okay. and no chintatown ice cream or labratorio di gelato in NYC?
America's Best Ice Cream
I have never been there, but Penn State University has an ice cream shop that is legendairy (ha!).
America's Best Ice Cream
I was worried that people were going to get the wrong idea about Ohio, but it looks like Jeni's and Denise's are well represented!
America's Best Ice Cream
I said this before, but I'll say it again: LaSalle Vanilla or Cherry Vanilla is the best ice cream in New York that you buy by the pint. Unfortunately, not too many places carry it. In my neighborhood in Midwood (Ave J) there's just one store that carries it, and even there, I can't find the complete selection of flavors. In my opinion, LaSalle is better than Hagaan Daz.

Columbus (Ohio - for people not Ohio Hip) - is the ice cream capital of the World.
We have Jeni's, Denise's, Graeters, Handels and more.
Check out the ice cream category on my blog.

Graters is good - but Serious Eats needs to do some more reasearch.

Funny story - The guys who own Toscanini's and Rancatore's are brothers. Mr. Rancatore, the older brother, got to keep the name, but their stores are very similar. I'd say Toscanini's has more adventurous flavors, but Ranc's is def a local favorite, too. Locations are in Lexington and Cambridge
America's Best Ice Cream
The Juice Bar on Nantucket serves up some of the creamiest homemade ice cream ever! The flavors are fantastic and it's always so difficult to make a choice!
I totally agree with the call for adding Brewster's in Atlanta to the list. Even though it's a chain, they are fantastic!
My mouth is watering....perhaps tonight will be an ice-cream night!
America's Best Ice Cream
While I certainly agree with the nomination of McConnell's in SB (living here, I suppose I'm biased), the best ice cream I've ever had is at Screamin' Mimi's in Sebastopol, CA. Mimi wins award after award...her blod orange sorbet is to die for, and the Cookie Galaxy ice cream is phenomenal (with Oreo bites, graham cracker pieces and another that's eluding me right now...Nutter Butters maybe?). Yum, yum, yum.
America's Best Ice Cream
I'm surprised that Ciao Bella Gelato is on the list. I've never been to an actual location but the pre-packaged stuff in supermarkets is not very much like gelato and about on par in terms of flavor with any other premium ice cream.

I lived in Texas years ago, and I still pine away for Bluebell icecream. Do they still use that cute jingle? "Bluebell is the best icecrem in the country!"

Brewsters in Atlanta....must have in the Peach State!
America's Best Ice Cream
Oh man, they neglected to include Bubbies Ice Cream in Hawai'i!

Add me to the raves for Jeni's and Denise's in Columbus, Ohio - I find both far superior to Graeter's.

Found a wikipedia article about Vics...

America's Best Ice Cream
There is a lot of California north of San Francisco.
I really like Vic's on Riverside in Sacramento, it dates back to the 1940's, and still has a lot of original "parts." Burr's on Folsom is owned by a former Vic's employee and uses ice cream from Vic's.
America's Best Ice Cream
I'm with nantaylor--any list that leaves out Dr Mike's in Bethel CT cannot be a serious list.
America's Best Ice Cream
Never heard of Glacier's. Lik's has the best ice cream in Denver, hands down, especially their Jack Daniel's Chocolate Chip.
