Any suggestions for someone whose dearly beloved doesn't like almonds? (Just omit?)

We stopped at Skyline on our way to Cedar Point because I wanted to try Cincinnati chili. Ugh. Awful. It stuck with us, and not in a good way. I don't know how people can eat that stuff regularly.

Steak n' Shake does a chili 5-way, and though it isn't the world's most perfect food, it's still better than that crap we had at Skyline.

I agree, I think the lamb's an awesome idea for those of us who like a little game in our meat. Bravo!

Thai food. It never comes out right when I do it at home.

Bah. St. Louis. Ignored again. I know the provel has convinced people the city's the pizza antichrist, but I swear we've got good pies here so long as you avoid the ones who think velveeta is a cheese.

Simon Pegg, ladies and gentlemen. Simon Pegg. (dreamy sigh)

C'mon down to Spatula City!

You don't need seven reasons, just one: Zimmern isn't a very good host.

I don't agree with the Village Voice. The one or two episodes I've seen, Zimmern was fairly respectful, just not natural in front of the camera the way Bourdain or Batali are.

The show's production quality is good, and the writing is fine, but the host just doesn't thrill me.

In short: I think he'd be fine as someone's "sidekick", but he doesn't temper his goofiness enough, and he sounds like he's reading a script. Find someone who's more natural in front of the camera, and Bizarre Foods might be watchable.

A tiny mystery solved! Thanks, NYSE!

Another thumbs up for the Pi in St. Louis. They are delicious, and not a shred of provel in sight.

(Anyone who does't know what provel is...oh, I just don't even want to talk about it. It is the Devil's cheese.)

There is nothing finer than a baked potato cooked slowly in the oven, with a nice, crispy skin and sweet, fluffy insides. Yuuuuum.

Anything overloaded with sugar: cereal, pixy sticks, you name it. I remember mom telling me that someday all that sugar wouldn't taste so good, and she was right!

Just made this. Super yummy! I served it without the fried eggs (in a house without dishwashers, every dirty skillet counts), and I added about a 1/4 teaspoon of Thai red chili paste along with the chilis/shallots/garlic. Also, couldn't find ground chicken so I thin-sliced two chicken breasts and then chopped them up into leetle pieces. Also, only used 1 tbs of oil, and a full pound of chicken so we would have lunch leftovers! Mwahahahaahahahaha!

Yay yum and fast!
