Serious Sandwiches: The PMB at Sullivan Street Bakery

i work near the bakery, and try to pick up one of their sandwiches (or their amazing pizzas) at least once a week. the PBM (or PMB, as i think they call it there) is out of this world. they've also got a roasted beet, goat cheese, and arugula sandwich that sometimes makes me weep with joy.

Ithaca, New York: What/Where to Eat?

definitely glenwood pines! a lovely view of the lake + their burger/fries got me through 8 years of grad school up there.

and i second louie's lunchtruck -- (ask around the cornell campus; just about any undergrad can direct you to where the truck is parked). good, solid, greasy grub. can't be beat.

enjoy the gorges!

Best bring-home food vittles from the UK?

for indian/curry/kebab -- avoid brick lane, and head a little further east to a place called new tayyab. (http://www.tayyabs.co.uk) amazing lamb kebabs, fairly inexpensive, almost always a wait .... but completely worth it. (note -- it's byob.)

Question of the Day: Other people say it's 'gross,' but you love it. What is it?

Benlee, as I stated in my post, gas was the very least of my problems! Cold sweat, cramping, and other things too gross to get into here.

The comments on this post have really degenerated into an all-out shetshow in just a matter of minutes. You fart-huffers need to get it figured out before you finish off what's left of the ozone layer.

Baha, I have lactose intolerance too. The key is to learn how to release your gas rather than let it sit in you. Sad to say, but I can fart on command. It allows me to avoid all the pain that used to get to me after drinking milk.

I do have lactose intolerance, and it's a lot more painful and exhausting than just farting, believe me. If anyone read this actually does have lactose intolerance, Ganeden's Digestive Advantage for Lactose Intolerance (available just about everywhere) changed my life. I was always able to tolerate pizza, but now I can have egg creams! Sour cream! Cream cream! Oh, and by the way, you take it like a vitamin, One a day, and you're good.

I must admit you got me with that.

Frank Pepe couldn't eat cheese OR tomatoes, and look what HE did for all pizza-kind....

Hey, I think that lactose intolerance causes you to fart before eating
the pizza, while standing in line for your slice. This could be an
advantage at a busy place by possibly thinning out the crowd.
You almost had me there, Adam. Nice try! I almost unsubscribed,
but decided to see what others had to say first. Great blog!
Stick around. Best Regards.

Hah. Thanks for the clarification, Benlee. I didn't know that—since I don't really have lactose intolerance.

From Slice

Lactose and My Adios

haha, all lactose intolerance means is you fart after you eat some pizza. Small price to pay for the greatest food in the world.

Nice try, Adam.
If that were true for me, I would contemplate suicide. I cannot live without cheese.
