What's your favorite food when drunk?
Mexican most definitely. Anything with sour cream, cheese, beans, and meat. That is the perfect drunk food.
BYOB of the Week: Cube 63, Sushi on the Lower East Side
A friend of mine who lives in NYC took me there a few years ago. It was horrible. The a/c was blasting so it was freezing balls cold and we were the only diners in the restaurant. The staff was extremely inattentive and the sushi was mediocre. I've had better sushi in a strip-mall in my commercialized hometown.

Besides SE, Closet Cooking would have to be my favorite.

New York City Wine and Food Festival: Ticket Giveaway, The Grand Tasting
Since this is a fantasy I would say Rick Bayless. Mmmmmmmmmm...
Barbecue: Pulled Pork
I concur that it is nice to see some posts from a real barbecuer and fellow SMC owner. After looking at the rest of your photos it appears theres a recipe for baked beans and one for guacamole that you need to post in the very near future. Like now. :)
I've never brined my butts. I'm not huge on sweet for pulled pork, I save that for the beans and ribs. I've tried an injection recipe a few times and found it's more trouble than it's worth. I don't let my meat rest after rubbing it either, I've read from multiple reliable sources that it doesn't add anything. On the other hand I know serious barbecuers swear by their methods so to each his/her own. In the end all that matters is if it tastes good, right? Post more soon.
Dungeons and Dragons-Themed Jones Soda
@thedilettantista: Yep you caught me, I also have a love affair with all things steampunk. You're probably the first person to make that connection. :)
Dungeons and Dragons-Themed Jones Soda
That is freakin hilarious. Here I am about to leave for my weekly D&D session and I see it featured on SE. Wow, I have to get my hands on some for the group, their mouths would hit the floor.
favorite stoned snack
We were smoking in a treehouse at a field party when rumors surfaced that the cops were on the way. How someone knew that, who knows, it was probably just an excuse to end the party. Anyway, we were driving around and I expressed my desire for cheese pizza and chocolate cake. We got a call that a friend of ours was having a birthday party so we stopped by. I walked into the kitchen and no joke there was a huge cheese pizza and her chocolate birthday cake sitting on the counter. I swear I heard angels singing. I ate them simultaneously, a piece of cake in one hand a piece of pizza in the other. They tasted great together at the time...

Thoughts from Di Fara First-Timers
Check out my recent visit, I had a much different experience...
What would be your last beer?
Swashbuckler Brewing Company's Oktoberfest. We guzzle it every year at the PA Renaissance Faire in Manheim, PA.
Serious Eats City Guide: Philadelphia (Way Beyond the Cheesesteak)
DiNic's was severely disappointing. It has absolutely nothing on Tony Luke's. Read more.
What is your fantasy food business?
I want to open my own restaurant featuring hot wings, tacos, chili, and barbecue.
Or host Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. That's definitely my dream job.

I wish I could've found this lovely guide before I went a few weeks ago...
Bachelor party needs suggestions for Sat. nightlife in Philly
I really like Triumph, that place looks great. Upon searching other places nearby I also found Eulogy Bar. These places look along the lines of where we want to go if we can't do waterfront.
Any opinions on Monk's versus Eulogy?
Watch It with Us: 'The Next Food Network Star,' Episode 7
Jamkia needs to STOP F-ING BLINKING!!! She always blinks when shes getting critiqued and it annoys the hell out of me. Terminate her.
Getting from Port Authority to UPN
Also, if we fail to make it in time could you suggest a place nearby to go for dinner? We're two guys who will pretty much eat anything but are looking for something different. We'd like to keep the bill under $80 for the two of us. No Italian, French, or seafood. Dessert will be a toasted marshmallow milkshake from the Stand. I've been dreaming about it ever since I saw if featured on SE.
Locanda Verde: The Best Breakfast in New York?
I'll be in NYC next weekend. At what time do they stop serving breakfast on the weekends?
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
My favorite restaurant burger was the double cheeseburger I had at Shakeshack a few weeks ago.
My favorite homemade burger would be my dad's burger which contains worcestershire sauce and red onion topped with cheddar and ketchup on a nondescript roll.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Baron VonFunburger's Haunted Castle Cavalcade
A carnitas fajita burrito with black beans, green salsa, corn salsa, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and guac from Chipotle.
Anything worth seeing/doing this Sunday?
Wow that is pretty sweet. Well, if nothing else I can walk around and listen to free music hehe.
Anything worth seeing/doing this Sunday?
Also, anything to minimize walking since it looks like its going to be a very rainy weekend. I was going to do the walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to hit Grimaldis and The Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory but that's probably not happening in the rain...

http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ is one of my favorites (along with SE, of course!) - her entire blog receives several visits a day from me as I check to see if there is anything new - I discovered this delightful site this summer - I've tried several of her recipes, and am smitten - I'd really love to win her cookbook!
