Where can I find Mex-Mex in Dallas, Texas?
I just moved to Dallas. I'm much close than I was (Chicago) to the Mexican border, but all the places I see are Tex-Mex style food. Where can I find some real Mex-Mex food? Thanks.

A cuban sounds pretty good right now ;)

I keep hearing about this sandwich, but have never had one. Can I get this at any Vietnamese place?

These are all great suggestions. Thanks for helping out a northerner :) If you guys are ever in chicago and need tips on pizza, you know who to ask :)
I add _____ to macaroni & cheese
Wow, Truffles sounds like an excellent ingredient.
For me though, I usually dash in some herbs and some extra cheese, and if I need some protein I'll throw in a can of tuna.

What's your favorite local funky dive?
The LaundraBar in Chicago. Freaking awesome food, and of course, superb drinks. The owner usually buys a couple of rounds at night. Oh, and you can eat and drink while your laundry is running it's cycles.
Pickles...refrigerate or not?
...this is why I read this blog. Now I can make my own pickles. Thanks!
What to Watch This Week
Did Bourdain give permission to do this? I would suspect not. Though, did he even have to? I would suspect not.
Manufactured vs homemade version?
Ok, so now for my comment on the actual post:
I am a strong believer in childhood memory induced food. It is a really powerful thing. This is why most of us eat the way we do. I still eat Kraft Mac & Cheese on a regular basis. There is a large part of our brains that connect those kinds of foods to happy memories. Happy memeories will sway your purchasing much more than marketing. If you helped out as a kid making that Mac & Cheese, then I'm sure your hooked for life. I always helped out making sandwiches, and boy 'o boy, I have sandwiches all the time. I'm also a sucker for catfish because of the same reasons. So if you have kids, get them in the kitchen and get some happy , lasting memories in their heads about the nutritious foods you eat. It will really pay off in the long run :)

I have used both MasterCook and Living Cookbook. I prefer Living Cookbook particularly since they released their 2008 version. Very nice interface and Vista-compatible. I am using it to create a family cookbook for Christmas gifts.
I found them at www.livingcookbook.com.

@kristyandjamey...wow...thanks for posting a comment on my post from over a year ago :) Gorgonzola is one of my favorite cheeses.
SE's....any other new additions to you mac & cheese since talked about it last year?
I add _____ to macaroni & cheese
I like Gorgonzola cheese and diced granny smith apples. I got this idea when a friend took me to a restaurant in San Francisco called Solstice. They do it there and let me tell you...Oh My Gosh! It's the best ever!!!

To Annie's - probably the Mexican version is best for this, but others'll do, too - I'll add a can of black beans, some frozen corn, and salsa.

I just like it with some cracked black pepper. That's all.

Chew on That
Is Bahn Mi sandwich heaven? If not...what is sandwich heaven?
Authentic Italian-American sub on a chewy, crusty roll with lots of hard or dry salame, capacolla, sharp provolone, chopped dill pickles, red onions, tomatoes, a shake of oregano, salt and pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. MMMMmmmmm...
Jambon beurre, but only in France. So simple but so amazing. With local wine, of course. (baguette, ham, butter)
Bagel (preferrably sesame seed), cream cheese, lox, red onion, and lots of capers. No tomato. Ever. Ruins the flavor of the lox.
A well-made Monte Cristo. Almost never see these awesome old-school treats anymore, but when I do, they're usually grilled or pan-fried. Huh? Guess the food police didn't tell them that they must be completely dipped in batter and deep-fried to be really good.
The club sandwich at the Hotel Astoria in St. Pete, Russia... and I don't even like club sandwiches!!! With hot shoestring fries dusted with black pepper -- they tasted like they dug the potatoes just 10 minutes before we ordered. (poached chicken breast, back bacon, hard-cooked egg, tomato, mayo, and a touch of dijon)
I add _____ to macaroni & cheese
Ooh, Sriracha! Liquid Smoke! I might need to make some mac&cheese just to try those out.
I usually just gussy up the usual sharp cheddar with dry mustard, cayenne, and chopped garlic, and whatever other cheese (pecorino, gorgonzola, fontina) I have around.
I don't like to taint my mac with alien chunks of meat or vegetable. Keep 'em on the side, please.
I add _____ to macaroni & cheese
A1 Steak Sauce. OR BBQ Sauce if A1 isn't avaliable. It's the only way I would eat it as a child.
