I'll try cooking anything once, but the worst thing....

I tried making whoopie pies recently and needed to use Karo corn syrup for the filling....so I heated the Karo...and then let it sit for a few minutes too long. My spoon was completely stuck in the pot, the corn syrup was basically like plastic. Luckily, soaking it for a bit dissolved all of the hardened corn syrup but I will not be cooking with it again!

Fast Food Cheesesteak Challenge

D'Angelo's is the only cheesesteak I will eat out of these choices, it is pretty delicious for a quick meal. I wouldn't go so far as considering it a "Philly" cheesesteak because it doesn't compare. I wouldn't even call it a cheesesteak - it's a steak and cheese.

JH Ford: That's what she said.

DVD Giveaway: A Connecticut Hot Dog Tour

Sauerkraut and sometimes a slice of cheese. Or at Blackie's, their relish only. Different toppings for different hotdogs.
I live in CT and can't believe I haven't been to more than half of these places, I've only been to Blackie's!

What's the worst/weirdest thing you found in restaurant food?

Remind me never to read posts like this while/right after eating lunch. I don't feel so good.

What's the worst/weirdest thing you found in restaurant food?

I found strips of steel wool in my pasta at Macaroni Grill. Luckily, they are out of business now.

I also found a button in my pasta at a local restaurant.

Maybe I should stop eating pasta. Or just stop eating at crappy restaurants.

Top Chef D.C.... Alex is a RAT

he absolutely stole the pea puree. I can't believe no one called him out on it. I would have said it straight to the judges if it were me. I am mad and it didn't even happen to me!

Las Vegas restaurants?

I would skip Craftsteak in MGM...unless you want to pay high price for a cold, overcooked steak. Tom Colicchio, please pack your knives and go.

Food lover or food snob?

I think I'm a food lover. I will eat anything. However, I do think I am a "tomato sauce snob" because I refuse to have jarred pasta sauce. I have been eating homemade since I was born, nothing compares! If that's what other people eat, I don't hate, but it's just not for me.

Secret food pet peeves that you keep pent-up

1. lip smacking, finger licking, soup slurping
2. people who won't just TRY something. You're not going to die (unless you have an allergy). Just TRY it and if you don't like it, spit it out!
3. dry chicken, overcooked meat
4. when someone cooking takes a taste of what they are making and puts the spoon back into the pot. GERMS.

One Day in Philadelphia - Where Should I Go?

Reading Terminal Market - DiNic's.........you will NOT be disappointed. Better than any cheesesteak you will have. Roast pork, broccoli rabe and provolone on a hoagie roll, so amazing.

Cook the Book: 'Recipes from an Italian Summer'

Everyone is pretty much saying the same thing.
So I'm going to go with plain old figs...My grandfather used to grow his fig trees and I would check them everyday to see if they were done because I could not wait to eat them. So good.

No nuts in my salad! And no fruit either. Gross, I can't mix.

Hot Dog Toppings

I like mine with sauerkraut and a little mustard. But sometimes just ketchup, mustard and relish are enough. And if I'm making it at home, I might add a slice of cheese on there for good luck.

basic mac salad

I put tuna, mayo, a little olive oil, celery, hardboiled eggs, black olives and red onion. So good.
