Dallas: Smoky Half-pounders Done Right at Kenny's Burger Joint

Kenny's is great (both at the Burger Joint and the Wood Fired Grill) but the ciabatta is almost a deal breaker. If not for the fantastic service, I would hesitate to recommend it. They welcome you to bring your own bun, however.

I would add the burger at The Grape and the Room Service burger at Neighborhood Services Bar and Grill as great high end burgers, along with Lee Harvey's and Angry Dog. Please don't waste our time with Back Yard Burger.

The In-and-Out in Las Colinas is about to open across the street from Five Guys--a head to head Texas showdown might be interesting, too!

Chain Reaction: Chili's

Before they expanded and went national, the Chili's Trip (cheeseburger with homemade chili on it) was a thing of beauty. I still dream about one, but no way would I go to a Chili's now for a burger. Dream Burgers are just that, sometimes--a dream. We remember them fondly and move on.

Daily Slice: Zia Gourmet Pizza, San Diego

I haven't been able to have pizza for months because of a diet, and I still would not eat this on a bet. Turkey pastrami? No way.

The Best Surface For Baking Pizza, Part 11: Lodge Cast Iron Pizza Pan

I have this pan and it bakes great pizzas. I heat it up in a 500 degree oven for about 15 minutes and it is ready to go. In my opinion, it works better for the thin crust, NY style pizza than a thicker crust.

There is a "Lodge" emblem stamped on the back, and if you put your super hot pan on your wooden cutting board by mistake, it will make a brand on your cutting board!

More on Fleischmann's Pizza Yeast

I made this again after a bad day, when I just had to have pizza. Rise was a little better this time--this is a viable alternative to takeout pizza, but does not make the most complex crust.

Using the second half of the dough improves the flavor quite a bit for the "next" pizza. For those of us who have to control our cheese intake and/or toppings. this is a good way to have homemade pizza in a hurry if you don't have dough rising already in the fridge.

Pizza Protips: Yeast

I tried the pizza crust yeast last night. You need to use fairly hot water (130 degrees)--there's no rise time, just a little kneading. It does stretch easier than regular yeast or rapid rise, but there is very little oven spring or developed yeast flavor (duh!). The second ball of dough (recipe makes enough for two pies) should result in better flavor--will report back.

Daily Slice: Settebello, Salt Lake City

i've been here on a ski trip, and the pizza really is fantastic. Not Bianco fantastic, but very, very good.

Philadelphia: Pub & Kitchen's Windsor Burger

I used to be one of the cooks here when it was Chaucer's Tabard Inn, and we were, in fact, voted "Best Burger' in City Paper. Sounds like the change of ownership has changed the burger, and not in a good way. Sorry you had a bad burger Nicholas, I wish you could have had one of mine!

Dear AHT: Burger Recs in Las Vegas?

I am still dreaming about my burger at Burger Bar in the Mandalay Bay shops years 3 years later. Absolutely one of the top 5 burgers I ever had. A must do, especially if you like caramelized onions.

The Good Pie, Bringing Neapolitan-Style Pizza to St. Louis

sorry stewmeat, I agree--St. Louis-style pizza is the worst. Doesn't mean you are a bad person, just that pizza is St. Louis (especially Imo's) is horrid--it's that "cheese".
