A Sandwich a Day: The Radical Reuben at Chicago Diner

Willy, chazmo, Burger365: Why do you feel the need to make these negative comments? Do you believe you are providing a public service; an aha moment to those of us who choose to eat veg/vegan? ("OMG. What WAS I thinking - I'm so grateful my errant ways have been pointed out to me. Although I am a sentient adult, obviously I didn't have the brains to make my own dietary decisions.")

I ate meat, fish, you name it, for many years - probably for more years than you've been alive. I then chose to alter my diet. So what? Am I hurting you?

I read and enjoy SE articles, veg and not. No matter the topic, I have never felt the need or desire to write negative, derogatory or preachy comments just because the focus of the entry might be about meat.

Frankly, I don't care what others eat, and I only wish authors and commentors of veg articles would be accorded the same courtesy.

SE Mods: Can you please consider deleting anti-veg comments when a contributor is writing about a veg dish/resto/recipe? I, for one, am totally sick of the bashing and I don't think it adds to the conversation.

The Vegetarian Option: Home on 8th

Totally my pleasure, Howard. Have you been to the veg Chinese places in Flushing? And there's an interesting veg market in Flushing:

Looking forward to your future posts!

The Vegetarian Option: Home on 8th

Just wanted to mention that most or all of the veg ingredients are available (in their "raw" state) at May Wah.
For example the fish fillets:

Seriously Asian: Why I'd Rather Eat Vegetarian Chicken than Mediocre Meat

Quorn makes the best "fake chicken" I have encountered. It's not soy based, but a mycological (i.e., mushroom) based item. Naked quorn cutlets lend themselves to so many dishes it's hard to justify eating chicken (but i'm veg, so consider the source).

Canned Tomato Taste Test, Round 2

When I took Mark's pizza making class, he used San Marzano strained tomatoes with basil, which comes in a bottle. Scroll down this link and you'll see the product:

Has Mark changed his methodology or was this a non-pizza related tasting?

Mount Vernon NY: Johnny's, Revisited

Giant fan of Johnny's.
Tried Pepe's in Yonkers a couple of times, and hated their burnt, unbalanced offering.

What's Your Favorite Frozen Food?

I guess I'm more of an ingredient person than a fro meal person. I love the convenience of frozen chopped onions. If I know I'm making something requiring onions, I'll buy fresh, but frozen allows for spontaneous prep.
Also like frozen tiny peas and frozen chopped spinach. And TJ's fro corn is good to have on hand.

Ovest Pizzoteca, an Italian Lunchtime Oasis in Far West Chelsea

Went to the website and clicked on enter. Not happening.
Tried on both Chrome and Foxfire (I'm just that kinda gal).
Maybe it's just my computer.
Hope so - if it was my business, I'd want to know the website isn't functioning.

Super Bowl Giveaway: Wings and More from Rack and Soul

Superbowl? Um, I got nothing. But my son and his frat brothers love themselves some wings. The guys at the frat have been through a rough patch recently. It would be great to send these great menshidich boys some chicken cheer. Even though I'm a vegetarian!!

The Chick-fil-A 2010 Calendar

I'm sorry but I find this a problematic post. With all due respect to Mr. Cathy, his values are not mine.
"We don't expect every operator to be Christian," Mr. Cathy said, "but we tell them we do expect them to operate on Christian principles." Mr. Cathy said his crew is diverse, including women, blacks and Jews, "but we've never had a conflict as far as our religious practices go."
Yeah, no conflict...except his settlement of violation of child labor law, and his financial hamstringing of people who are in no position to speak out. Just sayin. I find his principles consistent with the old South. And that's not a good thing.

Did the Internet Kill 'Gourmet' Magazine?

Blaming the internet for the demise of Gourmet (or anything else, for that matter) is a self-serving, short-sighted and pointless tantrum. Markets are fluid. Consumers pay for value. When the value dissipates, the market votes with its dollars. Progress hinges on the evolution of product and service.
Combustion engines killed the buggy whip business. PC's made secretaries of us all.

Dinner Tonight: Club Sandwich

How about using a thinner slice (of the same kind of bread used in the sandwich) for the center? Unsliced loaves allow for thickness control. For pre-sliced (i.e., supermarket) loaves, look for the "diet" or "thin-sliced" options. I seem to recall Pepperidge Farm has or had a thin-sliced white sandwich loaf.

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

I eat writers who use "dearth" instead of (wealth?), confuse "pairing" with "paring" and who deny a semi-colon its rightful place
(; no pleasing other people's ...).
