I find this concept to be much more of a standard practice in NYC than any other city in which I've lived.

Awesomely genius. I lived in an apartment above Lawson in Osaka and subsisted mainly on its nikuman and gyoza from one of the great chains in my connecting subway station.

We now have a bunch of Famima!! stores here in LA, where one can get one's meat bun fix.

I never thought this was a controversial topping, and judging by the poll results, it isn't, really. For what it's worth, La Notizia in Naples tops one of its pies with eggplant slices.

Wish you had posted this a couple of weeks ago, Kenji. I never got around to trying this joint while I was living there, though Richman had included it in his 20 burgers to try before you die list. (I have been to Sidetrack in Ypsi a few times, which is okay, but not great.) But I was in A2 the last two weekends and would've had the time to make the trek, but the idea didn't come upon me.

When I go, though, I think I'll order medium to be safe.

I knew I was going to be tortured by that picture of the Holeman & Finch burger, but I just couldn't look away. That, IMO, is the #1 burger porn shot of all-time. I must crush that burger someday.

Pink's absolutely should NOT be on this list.

You can't judge the "doneness" of sous vide-cooked meat by the color of it.

Meh. I will admit that I used to enjoy a Stouffer's french bread pizza now and again. it was my favorite frozen pizza growing up. This...neither looks nor sounds so great.

I never thought I'd see this day. As a CRLS graduate, I had my fair share of Angelo's slices, during lunch break, but only because I was jonesing for some french fries. Angelo's would serve hundreds of paper bags of fries during the break, and if I suffered through the line, I would usually take a slice as well. My preference, however, was for the slices on the other side of the school, at the now-closed greek pizza joint on Cambridge Street.

A couple of notes: 1) Angelo's had a period in the early 90s where some major fights went down during lunch, along with accusations of other illegal activities, and so the school administration deemed it "off-campus" for several years, meaning students were not allowed to go there for lunch; 2) the slice in the photo does not resemble the Angelo's slice of my youth, which was much floppier (and much bigger).

It's impossible not to like this guy. Thanks, Paulie!

Those look like mighty fine burgers, and I'd like to hit those brussel sprouts, to. This might be worth a trip to the west side.

Did I miss the part of the post that said what kind of temperatures were reached?

Is anyone else seeing all posts in mini font size? TS; CR.
