Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: The Sriracha Lover's Ultimate Gift Pack

In college, the nadir of both fiscal security and personal drive, I would often discover my then roommate, a now avid serious eats reader, eating a putrid combination of instant rice and sriracha. "Sriracha Rice." My personal favorite application of sriracha is to simply glaze roast chicken and tomatoes in a combination of sriracha, dijon and honey.

The Crisper Whisperer: A Seriously Delicious 'Green' Smoothie

Green smoothie every morning. I like a mix of banana, berries, extra frozen blueberries and a ton of frozen spinach with almond milk and oj. i find that the oj really brightens up the flavors. Sometimes i'll add tj's mango puree.

Great Airline Food on Air France (Yes, Really)

My grandfather had a rule that was imparted to me growing up: always fly the home airline of the country you are visiting.

I have added a corollary to this rule: if you can afford it.

An Old-Fashioned Burger at Jack's Classic Hamburgers in North Hollywood

i'm ashamed to say they never tried it... when i was growing up there was a jacks (i believe the original location) on coldwater between riverside dr and the 405 not 4 blocks from my house, but i never tried it--although the hugo's tacos it made way for was a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

i will check out jacks next time i'm on my way to toluca lake

Snapshots from Italy: Making Burrata, the Meta-Mozzarella, in Puglia

There are two places in LA that do fabulour things with Burrata. Angeli Cafe on Melrose has an incredible Burrata and Beet salad appetizer, while Mario Batali´s Mozza on Melrose does a Burrata and Zucchini flower pizza. Both are fantastic.

McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?

having never tried a fillet of fish sandwich, i think the sandwich sounds mostly great save for one thing, ready for it (raphael), THE CHEESE! I'm all down with squishy bun, deep fried fish and tartar sauce. In fact, there are very few things in this world i am more down with than that.... but.... CHEESE?? fish and cheese is, in my opinion, a truly vile combination, though having never tried the sandwich in question and given that mcdonalds foodstuffs rarely interact with each other as they would in the real world-- i will withhold judgement. though please, mcdonalds employee taking my order--hold the cheese.

Is Panettone the New Fruitcake?

As a nice jewish boy, my introduction to panettone came by way of my italian ex-girlfriend. My verdict? as an ardent fruitcake hater, and christmas scrooge, i think panettone is all right. definitely edible, possibly tasty, and a great last resort dessert. i've even been tempted to pick one up at trader joes several times in the last few weeks. that said, i really find it to be fairly mediocre, if only because of my disdaine for the fruity bits that are never particularly delicious. the brioche is always delectable, and i would really like to try a pandoro, but can never seem to get my hands on it.
