Debunking Food Myths
One night in a deli line, I heard a 20-something gent holding forth to friends about how Yogi Berra used to own the Yoo-hoo company. I was able to, in all honesty, turn around to him and say, "Well, I actually work for Yoo-hoo and while he was a spokesman, he never actually owned the company."
I gave out free key chains. Everyone seemed to leave happy.
How Do You Feel About Valentine's Day?
My husband and I just use it as an excuse to buy each other bottles of really lovely bourbon & rye. It's unofficially become Bourbontine's Day. Otherwise - screw it.

>>Rhetorical question: If a restaurant were designed to look like Fabio, would the kids flock to it? If they didn't who would and where would the best seats be?
Not so much kids as Romance Readers, and the best seats would be nestled within the taut, tender crevasse between his rigorously waxed man-bosoms, or possibly 'neath the tangled, tawny waterfall of his untamed locks.
Nowhere near his pants, for they may burst aflame at any moment.

Hee! The writer of the piece, Steven Stern, is actually a pretty darned serious food fan/writer (and a good friend of mine). He writes food stuff for the grown ups as well as for the Nick crowd, so I suppose his worlds are bound to collide.
National Meatloaf Appreciation Day: End Pieces
Aw - LPC - I'm linking to this whole round of meatloaf coverage from AOL's Food section this weekend, and I'll make sure you get called out specifically, 'cause DAMN, that looks good.
I can't tell you how giddy this whole meatloaf fest made me. What's the next one gonna be? Casserole? Sauce/gravy? I can't wait.

Awwww - did we miss the cut? Here's one by my pal Spencer Beggs and here's my IKEA Meätlöaf Loved all the posts today!
Cook the Book: Apple Pie
Black Cat Cafe & Bakery in Sharon Springs, NY. Vanessa Daou, the baker there, has magic in that there rolling pin.
And emptyage - I would say "Mom" but I don't think my Mom's ever made an apple pie in her life. My Dad, on the other hand, rocks at pies, but cherry and chess are his forte.

I'll Take (a) Manhattan
Are you a Martini or a Manhattan person? And how would you like it?
Manhattan, without a doubt. The best Manhattan I've ever had is the Midtown Manhattan at Bel Ami created by J. Morgenthaler made with Rittenhouse 100 rye and Carpano Antica Formula vermouth.

I'm an avid eater however, I'm not a food blogger. I WILL add a food post to my blog if it will help me get in on this. I have the game and would love to play it with some real live people online.

katkinsman (if you happen to check in and see this post) I am curious. Is this Steven Stern the same person as this Steven Stern ?

Ha, ha, ha!
A restaurant designed for Romance Readers! I love it.
Place it in a big shiny mall somewhere in middle America - Cincinnati (the name even sounds right) and have the furniture designed as you so aptly describe above. Molded high-quality poly-something-or-other, lovingly silkscreened to resemble the "real thing". Banquettes, individual seats, tables . . . the servers would be head-hunted from Abercrombie's across the mall floor and the food would be listed in two foot high purple velvet gold and rhinestone trimmed menus with entrees that promise to hold aphrodisiac qualities. Forget the entrees. My goodness, that place would sell desserts.
There's a fabulous bathroom in a DC restaurant Mie en Yu with a close to perfect design for this theme - you walk down an exotic-seeming set of stairs into a dark, romantic, candlelit slightly strange (particularly after a couple of glasses of good wine) room with a bare-chested man standing near this copper cistern thing who offers to wash your hands for you.
Aaaaah! I love it.
Excuse me. Must go make dinner. Still trying to keep the kid's minds off Moto.

Actually (just let me keep adding more comments to my own topic, it makes me feel so accomplished in a backwards sort of way) to move away from FabioLand for a moment (a scary place) I wonder if Moto is serving a special Thanksgiving menu.
Fun to imagine what that would be.

Sometimes I think restaurants (of a certain sort) are the new Disneyland.
Rhetorical question: If a restaurant were designed to look like Fabio, would the kids flock to it? If they didn't who would and where would the best seats be?

And please forgive my misspelling of 'apparently'. Thinking of Fabio's nose obviously affects my language capabilities.
