just a quiet superbowl with the boyfriend...some fried chicken margaritas and perhaps some nachos

on its own

simple, on its own, perhaps with some cheese

sounds amazing, but time consuming for me to make after work, and I just made a turkey on sunday...anyone think this could be made in a slow cooker, at least for part of the process?'

I don't know any philadelphia natives who like pats or genos, just transplants that don't know any better. I happen to be a transplant to philadelphia was was schooled in the fine art of eating a cheese steak and d'alessandros has been my favorite ever since. Its a little bit of a hike where I live so for a good one nearby I hit up tony Lukes, I should probably make my way up 76 and visit it soon though

I worked at applebees. I had a great time till a manager said I needed to do something to him if I wanted to keep my job. I quit. Anyway our assistant manager used to be a su chef and would make the most delicious things from regular applebees food. Everything he made should have been on the menu. Ugh. Chicken sandwiches with cilantro and fill mayo. Steak sandwiches with Cajun potatoes and a spicy dipping sauce

How many people do we think 3 lbs of cocktail hotdogs feed? I guess I'd rather have too many than too little. These sound rocking by the way.

I took a hiatus from serious eats when my laptop broke. Now that I got a new one, I'm back. Making this recipe tonight was the perfect welcome home. Although my grocery stores suck and I used two jalepenos instead. I also didn't wipe off the marinade which recipes usually say to do. The skewers were hot as hell (if i wiped it off, they probably wouldn't have been), but they were awesome. The sauce I didn't love (not a sour cream fan) but was necessary and still tasty. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Food wise, totally Rick Bayless. I love all the recipes I made in his other books. Drink wise, Semi-homeade's Sandra Lee. On her show the only thing she really seems to care about it the cocktail. Which is awesome

brownies!

@meggie, I completely agree, what did Monica Pope say between tears at the end. I believe it was her quoting Marcus saying thats why you need to only help yourself (It was something along those lines) and his cocky little smile at the end going, I knew i wasn't gonna lose. Ugh I hate him.

Scripted or not scripted I enjoyed it. I thought it was interesting to see what the school guidelines are (best part, "jaime where's your bread?" I have brown rice" "Well you need two breads." "Where are yoooouuuur two breads" "the pizza".)

It is amazing sometimes to see what people eat. If they had dumped all the food I ate in a week on the table, you would see a variety of color (meats, veggies, breads), and probably a lot of whiskey and vodka. A balanced diet minus the booze.

When I watch something like this, I always try to keep in mind that it also had a lot to do with geography (i'm not sure if that was the right word, but whatever). I read in an article and assume that it is a well known fact that people in wealthier areas tend to be healthier and maintain a better diet than those in "poorer" areas. In my opinion this has a lot to do with food prices. Salads and healthier options at delis and fast food restaurant are always way more expensive than everything else. I think that we need to even the playing field a bit and lower the price on the healthier items, not impose higher taxes on the bad stuff.

Seeing that family last night really terrified me. Those kids never stood a chance. Hopefully they will be able to make a change, especially for that 4 year old girl.

I'm a member of the clean plate club when I eat at home. I control my portions at home and I know exactly what when into the food. When I eat out, I try to leave at least half of my plate so I can take the rest home. Also I feel kinda bad if I clean my plate at a restaurant. I feel like the server is judging me. As a former waitress, I know that they aren't (I barely noticed whether or not customers ate everything. I just noticed if the food seemed untouched.). I just feel kind of awkward.
