It's enjoyable and informative as far as it goes, but it's like his other books. I skimmed it after reading closely the first few pages and gathering the information he gave the reader: a list of today's great chefs. After that it seems like I'm reading filler. I saw give a reading and I think he's very charming.

I have to concur with everyone who says Trader Joe's. I get their shade grown organic French roast (yeah, that's a lot of adjectives, but I like the flavor better than the regular French roast, so I wanted to specify) - it's great, and priced well. Their nitrogen-flushed cans really do keep unopened containers of beans fresh longer than the bags.

We have a winnah!

LEMONS, come on down! You've won this bird.

Someone from Serious Eats will contact you shortly for shipping info.

Thanks to all who commented, and for the rest of you, we just started another bird contest and will be doing one a day from today up to and including Nov. 18. So try again!

In the oven in a casserole dish

Not in the bird, not on the stove. I bake it as a casserole, using a favorite family recipe that is full of butter, sage, celery and onion. It's the best Thanksgiving smell for me!
