Serious Eats: louisralph's Profile

I agree, $28 sounds like too much for a pork shoulder. But so much of that feeling is because the $8 shoulder has so much hidden cost. I have no empirical evidence but my gut feeling is that in an unsubsidized, non-feedlot food system the market price would be closer to $28.

thanks for the interview

Please stop helping to legitimize the industrial food chain with articles about McDonalds and Coca-Cola. Thanks.

Coca-Cola Redesigns Packaging

It doesn't deserve a respectful comment on a site called Serious Eats; Coke is bad, they've spent so much money that even adults think it's okay to drink sweetened water. It's not okay.

What's Your Favorite Food Book of All Time and Why?

"Serious Pig" by John Thorne and Matt Lewis Thorne. It has much intelligent, literary writing and recipes and if for no other reason is worth having for the essay on the (possible) history of chili.

McDonald's Angus Third Pounder

I had the Bacon Angus Burger the other night on my way home form the golf course. I would much rather have a burger from Hardee's. I think they are far superior. I admit that McDonald's Angus burger is the best thing on their menu, but I still would go across the street for something else.

McDonald's Angus Third Pounder

I just ordered the Bacon Angus burger and took one bite and noticed it was cold. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the burger was not cooked all the way. I took another bite just to see if it was the outer perimeter, but the middle was even bloodier. I don't mind rare meat, but not with hamburger meat, especially fast food hamburger meat. I tried calling the Micky D's I ordered from, but no one answered. I took the extra time out of my lunch and drove back to the location. I spoke to the manager and she agreed that it was not thoroughly cooked. She offered me a new sandwich, but I felt at that point a new sandwich for all my trouble was not enough. The only thing she said she could offer me was my money back. I took the money. I will say the first time I tried the mushroom n swiss, which was good, but make sure that when you order this thing it comes cooked.

Wolfgang Puck's Lox & cream cheese pizza. I think it even has a few capers on it. Anyway, it is a great twist on the traditional lox, cheese, & bagel.

My favorite NY breakfast item would have to be bagels with cream cheese and lox. When I was little, my mom used to eat that too and I couldn't stand the taste of it. Now though I love it. I actually love pickled herring in cream sauce now too and I couldn't stand it growing up. Thanks for the contest!
