crab apple chutney?

Here's the recipe I found:

http://www.grouprecipes.com/25133/crab-apple-chutney.html

Never made this myself, I would probably increase the ginger (which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be fresh). It'd definitely a good idea to mix crabapples with standard apples ... pure crabapple would be too intense.

Overrated hot dog joints Part 2

I've had dogs in most of the major cities in the U.S., and imho the most overrated is Pink's in Los Angeles.

By overrated I don't necessarily mean awful. If Pink's was in my neighborhood, and if it didn't have valet parking and slow service and filthy tables and seventy-five to a hundred people in line on a Friday night, I would probably frequent it. The dogs aren't bad, but the place isn't worth it for what you have to put up with.

Reuben Sandwich, Step-by-Step

Wonderful article ... too bad he didn't make a Reuben sandwich!

A Reuben, by definition, is made with corned beef. What we have here is a Rachel sandwich with sauerkraut (most Rachels are made with coleslaw -- honestly I can't imagine combining pastrami with sauerkraut).

It's also generally accepted that traditional Russian dressing (as opposed to thousand island) is so named because it should include caviar.
