Best seafood in Boston

A second vote for Neptune Oyster, one of the best lobster rolls in the city and their menu all around is amazing. I would skip legal, the atmosphere is underwhelming as well as the food. If you're looking for best seafood overall, I'd recommend Woodman's in Essex (a little out of the city, but totally worth the drive). All around best place for whole lobster, steamers, fried oysters etc (apparently Best seafood in america according to forbes magazine?). Pick your own in front, they throw it in a big pot and comes out with bibs and red plastic trays. Best onion rings I've had in my life.

Third for Lou Malnati's for pizza (sausage and mushroom). Hot doug's is great. Frontera grill and the publican are fantastic.

What Cookbooks Would You Recommend To Others?

The Zuni Cafe cookbook. It's beautifully written and talks a lot about why they do certain things in addition to providing a wonderful range of recipes. I've only skimmed through it, but ad hoc at home by Thomas Keller looks intriguing. I agree with the Rick Bayless suggestion above also, his books are fantastic.

Sauces for Belgian Fries

I love the horseradish sauce. I think it's mostly sour cream + prepared horseradish?

Nice dinner out in SF?

Zuni cafe is pretty good. How about Chez Panisse cafe? The prices are quite reasonable - I think they had a 30 dollar three course tasting last time I went plus a bunch of a la carte items.

Kimchi

How long has it been on the counter? If only a couple days, it is fine. Most people leave it out at room temp overnight to ferment after bringing a jar home from the store. As mentioned above, the kimchi will be on the more ripe side (more sour) and as a result will be perfect for jjigae or kimchi fried rice.

Korean rice and beans?

The beans are called Komjung kong (검정콩) or black soybeans. You just soak them and throw them in the rice cooker along with the rice. You can find them at most asian grocery stores. They also sell multi grain mixes to add to your rice as well.

Dry Age meat at home?

There is an alton brown episode where he dry ages beef though if you have access to a great butcher, why bother with it at home?

For salami etc... Michael Ruhlman has a great book called charcuterie with all sorts of advice.

Old Tahini?? How to tell?

Smell it. You'll know if the oil has gone rancid or not. If it was not opened previously, it should probably be ok since it hasn't been in contact with oxygen.
