Dinner Tonight: St. Joseph's Sawdust with Pasta

way back when on Molto Mario he did this dish. It's a traditional Italian preparation that loosely translates to "pasta with sand." I used to make it a lot with spagetti. All Mario used were the crumbs, garlic, oil, and red pepper flakes, though, if I remember correctly.

Coke floats are called a "Brown Cow," here. Maybe this is a "Brown Bear?"

Alton Brown's Sardine-Avocado Sandwich Diet

Yes, calories in = calories out. It's as basic as that. The hard part is self control. Our brains reward us for over-eating! It's evolutionary! Combine that with all the nutritionally empty food that's cheap and available and you exactly what we're faced with now, the obesity epidemic.

On Alton, the guy's been teettering on hubris for some time. Lots of self-indulgent b.s. now, imo. For example, F.O.A. and R.O.W. were little more than vacations with no new ground covered. Being a know-it-all and not being annoying is a tough thing to pull off. He's not doing it very well, these days. I miss the early days of Good Eats.

Alton Brown's Sardine-Avocado Sandwich Diet

Most depressing episode of Goode Eats, ever. He acted lethargic, sickly, and joyless. An instructional on how to deprive oneself hardly belongs on Food Network. Dare I say Good Eats jumped the shark? Maybe Alton could just exercise rather than starve himself.

Tips for Choosing Supermarket Coffee

Best whole-bean bang-for-buck here is 8 O'Clock Colombian. I'd love to try the other roasts but I can only get Original and Colombian, locally.

Stop 50 Wood Fired Pizzeria: Small-Town Indiana's Gift to the Pizza World

holy crap, my friend lives right there in the dunes... he told me about this place when they opened, he's friends with them. I just found another reason to go visit! I have to say, one of the tastiest pies I ever had was delivered to us on the beach up there. They know their pizza over there on the South shore.

In Videos: Mark Bittman On His New Book, 'Food Matters'

I can't stand this guy. He is derivative, boring, and rude. He lacks originality of thought, but not opinion and ego. A supreme complainer with a "one-better," always. His books are pure hubris. Nobody nobody sent, indeed.

Hamburger America: Crabill's Hamburgers in Urbana, Ohio

Go for doubles, skip the cheese, buns dipped. The brown mustard, relish, and onions are a must. You'll pay for the onions but it's it's worth it. I swear they much ferment them or something, they're super strong, white onions.

Here's a funny aside... At the old location, when I was a little kid, I used to go in with my dad and be mezmorized by the technicolor layer of chewing gum stuck under the counter. I had to be inches thick. They used to paint over it. Frida Crabill always asked if you wanted your buns dipped in the grease.

Hamburger America: Crabill's Hamburgers in Urbana, Ohio

I hipped AHT to Crabill's a few years ago. There've been some local write-ups and tv pieces due to their recent inclusion in "americasbestonlie.net." I assume this is more trickle-down from that.

Yeah, those women clearly don't have high school "degree[s]." I applaud their rejection of coffee shop phoneys.
