8 Must-Visit Restaurants in Rome
A lovely list! My trust in Katie Parla was solidified by her no-holes-barred honest reaction to DiFara.
Family Coming to LA? Take Them to These Restaurants
Pizza nerds unite--@mgnnn and @LAPM :)
Sotto is, in my opinion, the strongest Neapolitan crust in Los Angeles. Still, if someone is coming from out of town, I would take them straight to Pizzeria Mozza (or for the Focaccia di Recco at Chi Spacca)!
A Guide to Tofu Types and What to Do With Them
@AndroidUser – Have you done this? You could make some interesting items with transglutaminase… like a tofu McRib ;)
@Burger365 – I press my tofu with only the very best tomatoes!
@coppertone24 – The Coconut Rice with Tofu and Summer Fruit recipe is actual a grilled one. I’m also a huge fan of grilled Tofu Dengaku. Enjoy!
@y_s_e – Dude. I could never forget about yuba. But it’s relatively difficult to find pre-made and not frequently called for in recipes. Serious Eats has done some delicious recipes with dried yuba here and here and here.
@Les ah – Right on! Hope you enjoy exploring new ways to tofuing :)
@BostonAdam – I’m sure you were thinking “She would not have been so specific had she not had this 6 hour sous vided tofu before…” You are correct! But I was merely the humble eater of this tofu (pictured here). For more details, I would have to direct you toward Matt Lyons aka Tribute Pizza.
@scalfin – I am personally not familiar enough with Cantonese stews to give the correct answer… but I’m sure someone around here is ;). The post includes a recipe for a fermented tofu, but doesn't get as deep the funky jarred one. While researching I did come across one recipe utilizing fermented tofu in the SE library, here ya go!
@chinese5spice – I love all this comments love for yuba and Yuba.
Damon Gambuto's 14 Most Memorable Burgers in Los Angeles and Beyond
Ahhh nuts, LA will miss you! When I got pick up by Slice 3 years ago you were my only human connection to SE--your early advice still resonates today. If you grow tired of the cold and constant access to great pizza, LA is a quick 6 hour plane ride away :)
Los Angeles: 10 Great Vegetarian Options Under $10
@lil_brown_bat - I know it sounds crazy, but it really is that good! Besides,toast is the latest artisanal food craze!
How to Deal With Airports as a Vegan
This past year, the circumstances of life have brought me to Chicago O'Hare multiply times. I now look forward to this layover for one singe moment: Eating Buffalo Tofu from Cibo Express while lounging in the O'Hare URBAN Garden. I strongly recommend both no matter your dietary preferences.
Top This: The Giardinera at Co.
Delicious! And I love that a vegan option was noted ;)
Snapshots from 'LA Loves Alex's Lemonade'
@BillyZoom - Carrots are making a comeback! I've had some wonderful roasted carrot dishes recently... pretty soon they may be as popular as kale :)
@Debbymmmmm - That would be an impressive feat!
@Tomatoman - Thanks! I can confirm that Scott Tremonti/The Urban Oven is definitely looking for brick and mortar space... yum!
Snapshots from 'LA Loves Alex's Lemonade'
@BillyZoom - BBQ Carrot in the hands of Ludo Lefebvre... YES! :)
Top This: The Horatio, Featuring a Truffle Butter-Fried Egg (à la Delancey Pizzeria & Bar)
@jimmyg - Not overkill at all. The crust at Delancey has a mild flavor profile; it is rich in airy texture. The subtleness of the thyme and truffle may get lost on a pizza with a tart or funky crust—but, in this case, it's just right!
Top This: Arugula Salad Foldover (à la Simmzy's)
@simon - That is the correct response to this pizza.
@cubfan4ever - So it is! I guess I was too dazzled by the shimming sea to notice I hit the bridge out of Naples while driving up 2nd St.
seeleyroad - Sounds delicious!
johnbalaya - Eeep! Thanks for the heads up!
My Pie Monday: Charred Leek, Sicilian Sausage, Wild Mushrooms, and More!
@Myperfectpizza - I'm in love with your pizza!
A Slice of Kenya: Building a Pizzeria in Nairobi, Part 1
@Matt I've been raking my brain. All I remember going into the vegan ricotta is marinated artichokes, almonds, water and a lot of hope.
A Slice of Kenya: Building a Pizzeria in Nairobi, Part 1
I can't even convey how f*#^ing thrilled I am about Matt's adventure! I've had the pleasure of meeting Matt and sampling a variety Tribute Pizza's pizzas. Some made in comforts of his own gear, to others made in haphazard rented equipment on the Santa Monica Blvd. We are all in for an international pizza treat!
Our Favorite Bites from the Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival
I pretty sure Hearty Restaurant's Grilled Stone Fruit Salad is actually peaches and plums... and it looks absolutely delicious!
Finding the Best Slice on Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles
@Hercules Rockefeller - Tomato Pie is definitely a better slice then any of these (except Joe's)... The Grandma with caramelized onions is my go to!

@JEL - I welcome your requests! As for Barone's: BOOM
'Los Angeles Times' Food Writer Jonathan Gold's Favorite Los Angeles Burgers
Seriously, the vegetarian is the first to comment? Well, if Damon is taking requests, I say 'none of the above' and vote that he review Shaka Shack Burgers.
Sugar Rush: Honey Lavender Scone at Little Flower Candy Co., Pasadena, CA
@The_Usual_Anomaly - "Fall flavor" how curious. I swear the photograph above is from this summer. I was lukewarm on Little Flower's other flavors until trying the Curry Scone. It's stunning!
Finding the Best Slice on Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles
@JEL - There is definitely a looming fear of flavor at many of the older Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. A few 'classic' places, like Palermo, are making bold pizzas. But you are correct, many of them stick to their historically watered-down methods, not accounting to modern tastes. To some, there are positives to consistency, to returning 30 years later and having everything taste the same. Clearly there are enough people who feel this way to keep places like Miceli's alive. Well, that and a good location.
Finding the Best Slice on Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles
@LAPM - I ate at least two bites of each (the tip and the crust). Plus I took them all home and snacked on their cold carcasses the next day. I looked like a loon walking up and down the Blvd with all those pizza boxes...
@ejfoodie - This slice crawl I reverted back to a person who blots pizza grease off. Since I've only eaten "good pizza grease" for the past decade, I'd forgotten about this archaic habit. For pizza by the slice, Mulberry is a respectable choice! There is a more centrally located Joe's in Century City... plus in October, Joe's is opening the apparently upscale/but still affordable Pizza Campania in Santa Monica.
The Vegetarian Option: Homemade Pastas at Bar Corvo in Prospect Heights
The Malfatti at Al Di Là is one of my favorite dishes in Brooklyn! These spinach ones look just as delicious :)
Bakery Guides: What to Eat at Vegan Divas, New York City
Lovely desserts! Do you know what the bases source is for the traditionally dairy ingredients? Like is the Chocolate Mousse a silken tofu base? Are the Cheesecakes made with soy, almond or coconut milk based vegan cream cheese and sour cream?
