New York's First Steak 'n Shake Opens Tomorrow

SnS is ok, it's no Five Guys. The quality of the meat is lacking, but I do like the taste. I'd probably go to SnS more, but their service is lacking.

Cream Cheese Cookies

I've made a few batches in the past week and it depends. If you don't roll the dough and form little balls, they're chewy. If you roll it out and make it thin, they'll cook up like a hard shortbread.

Good recipe, I've made some w/ cocoa too and they're good little cookies.

Is $5 Too Much To Pay For a Coke?

$.75 a can, $2 for a bottle. $2.50 for Mexican CocaCola. Beyond that, there better be some rum included

Taste Test: Peanut Butter, Creamy

Wow, a lot of Peanut Butter snobs here. I grew up on Peter Pan but married a "Jif" girl, then the Pan scare happened and I moved to Jif. Peanut butter is a wonderfood, it helped me recover and gain weight after an illness left me malnourished and sickly thin.

Recap: Top Chef All-Stars, Episode 15, Last Supper

I wish Antonia was in the finals, mainly so that Mike wouldn't be. She had a habit of over seasoning her dishes and in the end, that cost her. Mike, on the other hand, has his ego going for him. Richard will cook as he does and it will be wonderful and will hopefully win.

The Search For America's Best Hot Dog: Down South

In Chattanooga we have Good Dog where, aside from a bunch of other gourmet dogs, they have a pimento cheese topped dog that is wonderful.

But nothing can beat a Varsity slaw dog or their chili dog. Seeing that photo makes me want to drive a couple of hours and fight through Atlanta traffic.
