From Behind the Bar: On Whiskey

Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey -- neat or in a Manhattan. It's good enough to overlook that it was bought out by some Jersey-based megacorp.

A Sandwich a Day: The Bandit from Back Country Pizza and Taphouse in Boulder, CO

The advantage to the pizza at Backcountry is that it's a pretty good value -- they have huge pies for pretty cheap. It's not great pizza, but it's pretty much there to soak up all the great beer. I'll have to try the sandwiches, though...

Cook the Book: 'Guy Fieri Food'

I had the displeasure of being on a flight from DEN to SFO two rows in front of him. He's as much of a d-bag attention whore in real life as he is on TV...

Our Search for the Best Margarita Mix

I almost always squeeze my own limes and certainly think that's always going to be a million times better than any mix, but in a pinch, the frozen limeade/tequilla/bit-of-Cointreau gets the job done pretty well (and is much cheaper than any of these above mixers).

How to Make Homemade Chocolate Pudding Snack Packs

I've done the same thing but used the Ziplock, Glad, etc. 1/2 cup plastic containers. They're a good size for a small pudding and they're cheap enough I don't care if one gets lost/broken/accidentally thrown away.

'Chipotle BBQ Bacon Angus' at McDonald's

When the Angus burgers first came out, I thought they were pretty good and the quickly became my new standard. The past couple, though, have been just painfully dry -- makes me long for my previous standard, the Big-n-Tasty, with its gooey overabundance of mayo.

Curious about this new one, but not getting my hopes up -- the picture looks kind of dry still.

Poll: How Picky Are You About Coffee?

Every time I see the tired old "Starbucks is burnt/overroasted" complaint trotted out for the umpteenth time, I weep for those otherwise food-cultured people who for whatever sad reason still prefer weak, wuss-ified light roasts...

Thanksgiving Sides: Onions

It's not Thanksgiving for me without creamed pearl onions with (baby) peas. It's an awesome combo.

Oddly, like many other t-day dishes I love, I never really make them any other time of year...

Cakespy: Creamed Candy Corn

This is great! But do you really need to add the cream and butter*? Doesn't instant pudding mix get thick enough as is?


* I have nothing against cream and butter, just seems like unnecessary extra work.

Poll: Crisp Pizza Cheese

I always love the little cheese shreds that end up on the edge of the crust and end up browned/blackened. This sounds like that effect, intentionally done better.

10 Ways to Dress Up Cottage Cheese

My whole life I've stirred bottled French or Russian (or Catalina, in a pinch) salad dressing into my cottage chees, along with a hefty grind of black pepper. It's basically the only reason I keep commericial bottled salad dressing around -- I don't like either of those on actual salads.

Sounds gross, I know, but it's better than the Nixon-catsup thing, IMO.

Name Change for HFCS: 'Corn Sugar'?

One problem I see with this is that there's already a product on the market called "corn sugar" which is what you might expect it to be, a corn-derived glucose powder. It's commonly used in homebrewing (my exposure to it). Calling HFCS the same thing will be highly confusing...

We Try The Denny's Fried Cheese Melt

Are those fries supposed to be like that, or did they get all stuck together? Weird...

I'd eat this, once, just to say I did. Just like I did with the KFC Double-Down.

Culinary Ambassadors: Pizza in Sweden Is a Sloppy Outlet for Individual Choice

For some reason this reminded me of a trip to Australia where I was scolded for eating bacon with my fingers, American-style. On the same trip I was laughed at (better than scolded, I suppose) for eating a meat pie with knife and fork. When in Rome...

Poll: Do You Like Chili Burgers?

I'm a big fan of the New Mexico-style Green Chile burgers. They tend to be simpler, with a thick, chopped-chile topping with maybe a slice of cheese. This thing looks a bit too sloppy.

Poll: Should Coffee Shops Ban Laptops?

'Slice' Poll: Fresh Mushrooms or Canned?

I grew up with canned mushrooms but have since switched to fresh. Mostly because canned 'shrooms are really only good on pizza, whereas fresh can be used for a lot more things.
