Serious Cocktails: Best Bars in America
All the bars in New York are in New York City??? Gotta add the Old Pink in Buffalo to that list. That place is classic.
Cook the Book: 'On the Line'

New Year's Brunch: Mâche Salad with Pomegranate Molasses Dressing
I made a pomegranate molasses dressing for Christmas Eve dinner by cooking down POM brand pure pomegranate juice with some agave nectar. Reducing it to about half and a thick molasses. It was tasty but seems more cost effective to buy this molasses. Did you find it in New York and if so, what store carries it?
Thanks!
Sunday Brunch: Marian Burros' Macaroni and Cheese
Anyone that lives in the New York area and thinks they have the best mac and cheese should sign up for the s'MACdown! Or just come down and eat 10 lbs of mac and cheese. http://smacdown.tumblr.com/ That gruyere and onions mac looks AMAZING!
Looking for fresh quince in NYC

How to Survive a Tasting Menu in Six Easy Steps
drink the wine too!! my friend was OD'ing on water at our last dining out and was getting soooo full. i, however, was drinking a bottle of wine and enjoying every last bite of food!
It's not worth it to make _______ when I could just buy it
Completely disagree about the stock! Not utilizing a whole chicken when you buy it to make stock in my mind is a waste of food (maybe I'm just too cheap to shell out 4.99 for a little container of organic stock when I already have a chicken).
Dinner rolls. I homemade dinner rolls for Thanksgiving this year and it wasn't worth it. The turned out too dense and not even as good as store bought rolls. Actually, any bread making is a waste of time for me. I live in Brooklyn, we have excellent bakeries for these sorts of things.

Sweet Potato Fries -- Who Likes These Things?
sweet potato fries are the reason i first started liking sweet potatoes! more proof that if you fry something (or wrap it in bacon) i will eat it.
The perfect BLT
organic, no nitrate bacon, rustic whole wheat toasted, spicy arugula as the L, striped german heirloom tomato and homemade garlic aioli.

Anyone watching the Batali/Paltrow show on PBS?
I happen to like it. It's shot beautifully and I love the Bittman, Batali and Paltrow trio. Claudia, however, should be thrown to the wolves. She is not entertaining and I hate when she tries to "teach" Bittman spanish. It's probably the most uncomfortable and annoying thing ever televised. The food and the wine look delicious!
Who Should Pay at a Birthday Dinner?
I don't do birthday dinners. I am a struggling student in new york and I always get stiffed on the birthday dinner thing. I just make plans to meet the group after dinner for drinks and make sure to buy a cocktail or two for my birthday friend.
Is there any such thing as summer comfort food?
potato salad, hamburgers, spare ribs, hot dogs, macaroni salad, pasta salad, summertime bbq food is the ultimate comfort food! i'll take a burger, rare, with avocado and homemade mayo over a chicken pot pie or braised anything, any old day.
The Most Disgusting School Lunches
Fun Fish Fridays. Catholic school vegetarian fridays. Fish sticks in the shape of actual goldfish, nuff said.
Zuni Cafe's $8 Nectarine Dessert Is Just a Nectarine; Diners Left Confused
is this some sort of political statement about rising food costs? because if it is, then ok. but i would still want a least a dollop of ice cream or my 8 dollars back cause a WHOLE nectarine is not dessert, it's a midday snack.
Is Whole Foods Becoming Costco with a Side Order of Trader Joe's?
whole foods is actually pretty cheap when it comes to stuff like seafood and meat. some non perishable stuff you can probably find cheaper if you bargain shop. but all in all, people have gotten used to food costing a LOT less than it should so get used to the whole foods prices. america's "dirty little secret" is the amount of our income we spend on food.
buy what you can local and head over to whole foods for olive oil and flour.
On Banning Photography from Restaurants
I just got back from Corton. The website asks guests to refrain from using flash photography and cell phones. I accept that gladly. You quote Drew here as saying,
"No, we're not going to stop people from taking photos," Nieporent said. "We'd just like people to be considerate of the other people in the restaurant.""
So why, when I entered, was I told that no photography was permitted. I asked nicely and was told, "no". The host asked the chef and reiterated that it was not permissible. I explained that I would not use a flash. I explained that I would not use the photos online nor for any commercial purposes. Still, my request was refused. I feel lied to based on the website only saying that "flash photography" was not permitted and also the quote here from Drew. So Drew, why is this?
The food at Corton was good but, just like Momofuku Ko, I won't be back. I see no reason to reward restaurants who don't consider my desire for a permanent memory, valid. They can make any policies they like but I still get to chose where I dine. I also chose to deal with people who advertise honestly. Drew said that, "we're not going to stop people" but that is just what they did. That to me is deceptive.
In the interest of full disclosure, the host did comp a round of drinks for us because of this. Still, it, (please, please, pardon the pun, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Whataburger taquitos: bacon, egg & cheese (with picante) or a Philly cheesesteak. Depends on whether I am in Texas or NJ/PA at the time of said drunk.

I don't know that it's actually considered food, but I can kill some Taco Bells after having a few "pops". Grease is GOOD!!! LOL!!!

Oh man, thanks so much you guys :)
Due to lack of judgement and eating 7 white castle burgers the night before, I wasn't feeling well enough to go to the City. However, I'm going tomorrow, and hopefully the weather will be okay enough ...
THANK YOU!!!!

When I was in Korea, the food trucks with the spiciest dukbukki were the best...the raging heartburn the next day, not so much
What's your favorite food when drunk?
Cheese fries with feta dip from The Grill in Athens, GA (open 24 hours, and they don't mind my drunken revelry!) or animal style from an In N Out. Although I'm pretty sure everybody likes about anything from LaFonda dogs by the UGA library, in terms of nasty-ass street food. I'm nursing a gin and tonic right now, and getting absolutely ravenous reading your posts!

What's your favorite food when drunk?
It's strange no one's mentioned Montreal's poutine. It's the best food for a hangover -- the starchy French fries topped with cheese curds will help you sleep like a baby. When the bars start closing in Montreal, restaurants serving poutine are absolutely packed!
What's your favorite food when drunk?
Doner kebap on a toasted baguette with loads of mayo and french fries.
And pad thai.
@GirlFromJetCity - couldn't agree with you more about the side of hot man.

What's your favorite food when drunk?
I'll eat anything that I don't have to cook myself. Or wait a long time to eat. Fast food is definitely high on the list. Pizza, burgers, hot dogs (I have to be REALLY drunk to eat those), french fries, tacos, nachos....Mmm mmm mmm.
What's your favorite food when drunk?
Cheesecake bites from Taco Bueno. Then french fries with ketchup from Whataburger.
Take any pretentious foodie, get them drunk, and they won't know the difference from foie gras to Big Macs
What's your favorite food when drunk?
Chili Cheese Fries from the Fleetwood Diner in Ann Arbor, Mi is my all time favorite post drinking food. Pizza or Taco Bell works if I'm not able to hit the Fleetwood.
