Location: New Hampshire

About: 19 year Soldier who has entertained with what I am told is good food all over the globe. I also love to cook for my family. I am a cookware snob, its got to be hevyduty stainless. I also love my Henkel knives.

Favorite foods: I will try anything. I have eaten goat in Iraq, Bulgogi in South Korea, and have tried every type of BBQ imaginable(for me North Carolina is the best). I am a Beer nut.

Last bite on earth: Suasage with Peppahs and Onions, but it has to be at Fenway Park, with a cold Summer Seasonal from Sam Adams. I think that would be a great way to go.......

Chain Restaurant Burgers

I dont know if this has been discussed in the past but here goes. Most often when my family and I got to a chain restaurant I get a burger, which leads me to ask which chain has the best burger? INMHO I think that Ruby Tuesday's prime buger is best.

Corn on the Cob is best when ______

Corn on the cob is best with steamers!(Or should I say Steamahs). Something about the clams brings out even more sweatness in the corn. I serve them with melted butter, a bowl of the pot liquer, and some apple cider vinegar. I think i'll do that this weekend , thanks for the idea.

How to Cope with the NYC Rental Kitchen?

I agree with bobcatsteph3. I have a countertop convection oven and use it all the time. I also like the old fasioned NESCO type cookers for tight places as well. When I was stationed in Korea I used for all of my Sunday meals and my buddies loved me for it. Just be creative and have fun!

Maybe they should copy our M-16's and get into the fight in Afganistan! A French burger? What a sham.

Chips on Bologna W/ cheese and a slather of French's mustard. Now that's what I grew up on!

I also like it on Tuna, but never thought of a burger, but its got to be good. My only trepidation is the cooking to medium only. Could make for a dried out salty combination.

July Birthdays!

My daughter's is 29 JUL and she loves pineapple upside down cake. Seems wierd but that is what she asks for. As for the dinner, its usually a hot dog and hamburger affair. Since this is her Sixteenth B-day, I might do something a little more memorable for dinner, but she has told me there will be pineapple upside down cake.

The closest thing to an In-N-Out Burger is at the new Great American Hamburger and Hot Dog Company in Great Barrington, MA. I think that it comes wrapped in wax paper is key.

had my first experience with bbp last week. i got a large order for takeout - 8 burgers and 6 sides and had to wait about 20 minutes. it was very busy. there were 2 kids at the registers taking orders and even bussing tables to keep everything moving. it is not a big place and i thought the set up was sort of odd - half booths, half counter. i think they definitly need bit more organization at the front, especially when busy..people were stacking up on line and at the takeout area. not that the wait was bad, but its difernt when you are alreaday sitting and hav to wait for your food than if you have to wait just to order while standing in line. (one dirtbag refilled his soda while his friend blocked anyones view and walked out with the glass)

foodwise - its a burger joint. don't think of it as mesa grill...the prices are very reasonable and the food is basic and good. i personally don't like rare meat of any kind, so just the wee bit of pink in the middle of the burgers was fine. the onion rings were good...fries were the weak part - very dull - they need spice or crunch - something to perk them up....the 'hot chips' i thought would be spicy, hence the blue cheese dip, but i think they just mean hot tempature-wise, so by the time i got home, they were just chips. the blue cheese dip was good though - nice and chunky. the burgers were a decent size. we tried the crunchburger, l.a. burger, napa burger (all good), blue burger (very good) and buffalo burger (my favorite!)

the bottom line is i will definitly go back for the couple of burgers we really enjoyed, when i am in the area. the best burgers i have found yet are in a hole in the wall called 'american burger' in rockville centre - check them out!

Corn on the Cob is best when ______

...Parmesan cheese and a 'southwestern' spice mixture are added along with the butter...it sure works for a local vendor I find at festivals and sports events (they'll sell you containers of the spice here, tho I think most of you can come up with your own)

what kind of knives do you have and how do you sharpen them ?

Thanks, Purrkins. I confess that I bought it because CI liked it. My remaining question is how often do I sharpen my knives? My knives are Wusthof and Henckel products if that makes any difference. I hope I'm using the sharpener correctly....I do follow the directions exactly but even with directions I can make mistakes!

Is Cutco only available from door to door salespeople?

Corn on the Cob is best when ______

left aside for the corn lovers. Can't deal with it, myself.

From Talk

Corn on the Cob is best when ______

Boil in water until crisp but tender. No butter, no salt. It is sweet perfection just the way it is.

I really don't like butter on my corn (greasy and messy)...or salty corn for that matter. Corn was intended to be sweet!

We have used the Chef's Choice sharpener for many years. I use a steel every time I use my knives, but when they need to be sharpened we do it with the Chef's Choice. Works great. I have Wustoff Trident knives.
