Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

Just a quick edit - in the preview, it reads "getting negimaki—scallions wrapped around thinly sliced flank steak in a teriyaki sauce—thinking of it as "meat sushi.""

It's just a small prepositional error about which I thought I'd make you aware.

Man, I can't believe those guys! Did you give them the book of Best Practice Safety Rules? Or did you not have your traveling copy? It happened to me once; This deli lady gave me a free sample of something she *clearly* had breathed on. I chose a reprimanding look over a lecture as I had a very important book club meeting to attend.

Plus the Cowboys game. Perfect. Anyone ever tell you you're a pretty smart dude?

I was impressed to see that the top two got nearly 50 percent of the votes (I voted #2), and it occurred to me that rotating menus are heavily underrepresented here. Until I realized the audience that had answered this poll ... I'm supposing that most of the people who read Serious Eats also like to cook, and imagine themselves in both the position of the chef and the customer (maybe jumping to conclusions, but that was my thought process). And no one wants to imagine him or herself as a chef who has to cook the same thing over and over ...

It's funny, I found Salty Seattle a few days ago and marveled at a lot of the stuff she's got on that blog. This might take the cake, though ... or take the pie, as it were (Get it? Pizza? Pie? ... crickets ... )

Phyllo dough stuffed with beef confit and mole sauce. That man is crazy. Crazy and awesome. I wish to attend said competition, but I live in Dallas. Is there any way to transfer taste via webinar?

I feel like my desire for this sandwich would be inversely related to how much I've had to drink. Sort of beer goggles for food ...

Fuel City might be the best in Dallas, maybe, but even then it's got Tacos Y Mas to contend with. Most people believe those Texas Monthy Best Of articles are predictably fallacious. But determining the best taco in Texas? Sorry, that's impossible for any publication. The state's too big and the task too tall. You can't swing a cat by the tail without hitting five taco stands.

@Kitchenista: I'm also from Texas, and I notice you also spell 'sopapilla' sans the first 'i'. And your description how they're served matches the one with which I am familiar. So is there a slight difference in the sopapilla and the sopaipilla? Or is the different spelling just a Texas/NM discrepancy?

I drink several different types of coke: Dr. Pepper, IBC, and sometimes Coke.

Ah. Ketchup rage. It's like talking about race: no matter how delicately you put forth a well-reasoned point, people are going to get offended even for perceived slights that aren't really there.
It's a good piece, Nick.
Haha - Peacenik.
Anyway, hamburger condiments are quite obviously becoming a taboo subject. We might want to threow that topic in there with politics and religion ...

Porterhouse.
