I think a little Angostura Bitters on the rocks is pretty tasty. Try it!

Dinner Tonight: Pork Chops Braised in Hard Cider

Simple & effective braising recipes like this are always a winner. You can easily replace the hard cider with an amber ale or lager or a punchy Riesling or Gewürztraminer to mix it up as well.

Another vote for Buffalo here. When you have a well-grilled (charcoal only!), good quality hot dog on a fresh roll, there's no need to pile a pickled salad on top of it.

Peanut Butter (natural, unsweetened) and Nutella sandwich on whole wheat with strong black coffee. Food of the gods...

Take away the condiments and fancy buns and one hot dog stands alone, the Kogel Vienna from Flint, Michigan period.

PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

New York System weiners can't be beat. Onions, mustard, celery salt, topped with meat sauce on a steamed bun. Don't forget about that delicious "snap"!

I'm sure if you like bland tomatoes, plain yellow mustard, and raw onion, etc etc... then Chicago dogs are fine. I personally don't like drowning a good beef hotdog with all those condiments. Give me a delectable grilled Hebrew National topped with a slightly spicy mustard and some homemade relish...absolute perfection! If you go this route with a Vienna dog, you will soon realize where it pales in comparison to the much superior Hebrew National dog. Sauerkraut can also be a good option, but it's an acquired taste. I find tomatoes and yellow mustard to be a clash of flavors in any situation. Long live Hebrew National, king of the hotdogs!!!!

Lately I've been obsessed with Wine based Amaros and Quinquinas like Barolo Chinato.

These things are so cool, delicious, and complex, especially after dinner.

I second the opinion on Hot Doug's. Absolutely a must stop place, especially when they have the French Fries cooked in duck fat. *Sorry, I'm salivating on my keyboard*. Rabbit hot dogs with blueberrys and creme fraiche. Worth the wait.

Next time you're in Katz's get a pastrami sandwich AND a hot dog. Just take half the pastrami sandwich home.

Pink's hot dog in LA is, by far, the best hot dog I've ever eaten. I was in Kat'z last night but I didn't try their dogs. They looked tempting but that pastrami is too hard to forgo.

Dude!

Thanks for recognizing Lafayette and Athens Coney Island restaurants in downtown Detroit, but, really, you can't disqualify the D because we dress up our dogs with chili sauce, onions and mustard.

It's not fair. Thousands of the dogs we serve up at the hundred of Coney Island restaurants in Coney Detroit are home-grown Koegel's and Dearborn dogs.

It is just wrong to kick us to the curb because we embellish our dogs. There is hardly anyone who doesn's add a slash of mustard or a slide of pickle.

Our Coneys are so popular that in upstate New York and parts of Ontario, similar concoctions are called "Michigans." There is one loud, proud vote for Detroit's dogs.

Amazing Hot Dog is just one of many fine places in North Jersey. In my previous post, I only named a few. Amazing does use a natural casing Best, and has the widest array of toppings I've seen at a hot dog establishment. Personally, I prefer just a good deli mustard on a quality all beef dog, in order to enjoy the flavor and spices of the dog itself, though sometimes I have one with chili. I do prefer the other sizes (long and thin) of the Best dog to the thick quarter pounder at Amazing. Jerry's in Elizabeth makes a great dog. Eight to a lb natural casing Best that is boiled then finished off on a grill. It is snappy, fresh and delicious.

For German style dogs prepared on a grill, Galloping Hill Inn, Karl Ehmer's cart, and the Weenie Wagon (grilled Thumann's) are three of the best.

Can't believe that North Jersey got such a long post without any mention of Amazing Hot Dog in Verona! The most creative toppings ever, fantastic hand-cut fries, and they're using Best's all-beef dogs (out of Newark). www.amazinghotdog.com

You guys need to grow up. Wow, yogurt and toast, I'm sure the highlight of your week is going out for a wine cooler with your coworkers.

I'll usually pop a couple biscuits in the oven, then slice up a potato and get that going with olive oil in a pan. After a while I add onion, red or yellow bell pepper, and garlic. Plate up the potatoes then top the biscuits with a fried egg and a couple slices of American cheese.

After a breakfast like that I'm all set to be bored at work for 8 hours and not get hungry till dinner time.

jungman, you really shouldn't judge New York hot dogs based
on the fact that you can get dirty water dogs on the streets of
NYC. Gray's Papaya, Katz's, and Papaya King all serve superb
hot dogs. I wrote about New York hot dogs in the NYT a couple
of years ago, and beginning Friday you'll be able to access
some of my times stories (hot dogs included) on ed levine eats

Although I nominated Clifton NJ I simply cannot let the type of food bigotry perpetuated by JungMan stand. Only someone woefully ignorant of the actual food practices of New Yorkers would ever suggest that the city was nominated on the back of a dirty water dog. Have you ever heard of Nathans? The only dirty water anywhere near the dogs is in the ocean. How about Katz' Deli or Grays Papaya? Basing one opinion on the lowest common denominator is hardly fair.

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

i get super cranky if i don't have breakfast with in an hour of waking up, so i always have something before i leave home. usually, 2 eggs cooked sunny side up with salt and pepper, and a piece of toast or a tortilla (to get all the yolk yumminess)

when i run out of eggs, i'll have oatmeal with coffee flavored silk (rather than cooking it, i serve it as soon as i get up, shower and get ready, and eat it right before i leave. that way it isn't mushy, which i hate, but its soft enough to eat).

From Serious Eats

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

My breakfast goes like this every weekday:
Coffee #1 (milk, no sugar, brewed one cup at a time)
Whole-wheat toast with peanut butter or cashew butter
Smoothie (banana, yogurt, frozen fruit, flax meal, apple juice)
Coffee #2

I am one of those people who is ravenously hungry in the morning, so I have to eat a pretty big breakfast. And I love sleeping, but I love coffee just a little bit more!

From Serious Eats

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

My breakfast is usually either:

-Kashi cereal with soy milk
-Peanut butter, Nutella, and bananas on whole wheat
-Whole wheat & marmite
-Just an apple
I'll drink either soy milk or tea, or the two combined.

From Serious Eats

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

I have a rotation because I get bored easily. :)

+one egg, cheddar and tomato on toasted multigrain bread
+Greek yogurt with walnuts and honey
+cottage cheese or a hard boiled egg and a glass of vegetable juice (I prefer Knudsen Very Veggie, but V8 will do in a pinch)
+ricotta from Saxelby's with apricots, pine nuts and a drizzle of balsamic

I love oatmeal but I generally only eat it during the cooler months of the year. When I do I dress it up with blueberries and almonds, or butter and sea salt, or a few dashes of hot sauce, or a little grated sharp cheese.

I drink iced Earl Grey in the summer, hot tea the rest of the year. I'll occasionally have coffee with milk instead. And I drink a ton of water.

From Serious Eats

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

Breakfast is half a cup of coffee with half half-and-half and half fat-free half-and-half.

Second breakfast, when I get round to it, is the second half of the coffee with a toasted whole-wheat English muffin, 1/4 cup of 2% Fage (I LOVES my Fage!) and 2 oz. smoked salmon, with some capers, chopped red onion, and/or minced scallion on top.

Alternative is a smoothie with frozen banana, frozen berries, Fage, and OJ, with a scoop of whey protein powder and maybe some flax seeds.

Other alternative is oatmeal (steel-cut porridge oats, thanks -- yeah, the kind that takes 30 minutes to cook. I work at home) with my beloved Whey Low (the only sugar sub I can stand), a sprinkle of coarse salt, and a few toasted walnuts.

I guess my breakfasts vary a fair amount. But lunch is usually either fruit salad (in summer, and if I didn't have fruit in the morning) or lentil and vegetable soup. Fage 2% usually crops up with these options as well.

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

Since I love my bed and can barely leave it in the morning, I don't eat until I get to work. I used to keep milk in the fridge there for cereal (my favorite, could-eat-it-for-every-meal food), but that got annoying. So now it's instant oatmeal in a cup. Generic (sorry Quaker, I'm poor!) lower sugar apples and cinnamon costs me about $3 for a month's worth.

Ed, I'm curious about your Mimi Sheraton comment. I think her book, FROM MY MOTHER'S KITCHEN is one of the best food memoirs.
For breakfast, I like the habitual. Currently that is Organic Valley cottage cheese (would that it were English) and Trader Joe's Greek style yogurt with banana and some sort of acid fruit. My all time favorite, but no longer available to me, was halved, toasted La Brea Bakery multi-grained "baugette" with a mild feta and thick sliced tomato. And always strong, black coffee

Oddly right now it has been bread fingers and soft boiled eggs. Alternately a piece of whole wheat/spelt raisin/cranberry bread toasted with pumpkin butter.
