Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks
a perfectly medium rare bone-in ribeye
Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'
an Arnold Palmer...which is made even better with a teensy bit of vodka :)
Cook the Book: 'Mario Batali Italian Grill'
Lemon and olive oil are the standbys. Sometimes I like pesto on grilled veggies...and I've started using scallion oil for grilled meats.

Serious Sandwiches: Chick-Fil-A's Chick-n-Minis
i'm pretty sure that they put something in the breading that starts to cause cravings - particularly on sundays, when they're not open. hateful.
i love the minis because the bun is the sweeter yeast roll and not a biscuit that is, sadly, never made with as much love as the chicken is.
i will also go on record as saying the chik fil a milkshake is the best I have ever had - anywhere.
Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate
Any sort of goat cheese...but lately I have been enjoying aged Gouda and Mimolette.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
crispy, crispy, crispy!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
Fox Brothers in Atlanta, GA
Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate
right now its mimolette...but im really wanting to try the truffled Humboldt fog i recently heard about...
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Any kind of bacon is good...but if I had to pick...crispy over chewy :)
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Heritage Smoked Ham
prosciutto, sweet butter, parmesan cheese, and fig jam. ridiculous good.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Bacon is good either way...because...well...its bacon. If I have to pick, I prefer crispy to chewy most of the time.
Dinner Tonight: Easy Pea Soup
I saw this recipe about 20 minutes ago. Threw some stock in a pot to boil...added the peas. While that cooked, I did the dishes in the sink. When the peas were warmed through, pureed with the balsamic. Topped it with the cheese and EVOO...and now I'm sitting on my patio with a bowl of delicious soup and a glass of wine. What a wonderful recipe - thank you so much.
Morimoto's Cookbook Can Be Yours This Weekend
Morimoto. He doesn't do enough of them...but when he does, its pretty spectacular.
Cook the Book: 'Southern Belly'
Carver's Grocery off Marietta Street in Atlanta. Under the guise of a corner "grocery", you get some of the best meat-n-three around...and iced tea in a cup the size of your head. Off the beaten path and a real find.
soup season....
Over at my blog, I just hosted a soup event! I had 54 entries...so there are lots of interesting (and global) recipes to check out. Here is a link to the Soup roundup:

Best Find from Trader Joes?
I must add to the post I made previously. Yesterday, I bought a container of Trader Joe's "Gourmet Chicken Salad": white meat chicken, almonds, and currants. I just polished the last of it while sitting here. Straight out of the container. It's sooooo good.
Beet It
I love them roasted and in salads and such. I made a beet carpaccio that was really simple and delicious:

Favorite Kind of Cake and Icing?
Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese icing. Actually, anything is a vehicle for cream cheese icing...
What's Worse???
I say A-1...although either of them could be a dealbreaker.
Best Find from Trader Joes?
i'm on the bandwagon with the "greens with envy". i keep a bag in the fridge for impromptu pastas and such. i also like doctoring up their Chicken Chili Verde soup. They have a Chianti and a Pinot Grigio sausage that are very tasty on a cheese or meat board. All flavors of coffee that I have tried from TJ's are very good, also.
My 'Local' list
An Atlanta, Georgia short list:
- Nick's for the best gyro in Atlanta
- The Vortex for my preferred burger...and some of the best service around.
- Ecco...because it's good.
- Taka for sushi
- Rosa's for the best pizza ITP....Bella's for OTP
- Fine dining: Quinones as the best in town...then Bacchanalia....with Eugene (although its been slipping as of late) in third...Rathbun's for a group event...
- Element to get your molecular gastronomy fix and a great margarita made with nitrogen
- Krog Bar for an authentic tapas experience...what a great patio.
- Bhojanic and Panahar for Indian food...
