Taste Test: String Cheese

No way does Polly-O make the best packaged mozzarella. I'd take Sargento's or Trader Joe's over theirs any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Taste Test: String Cheese

I really am not thrilled with the TJ's organics. I just don't find them appealing and usually only buy them when they're out of the regular ones and I think the Polly-O ones are a bit dry and plasticky.

I noticed you didn't try the Market Pantry ones from Target; they're pretty good. They taste a lot like the TJ regular ones.

And the TJ Fresh Mozzarella ones are weird, but a nice change of pace if not a hair messy and milky :-)

Staten Island's Goodfellas Pizza Opening Wood-Fired Pizza School

Whatever school they open, let me know who goes there to learn so I can avoid their establishment. The pizza at Goodfellas is so miserable I can't even bear it. Anyone learning from them is doomed.

The Search for America's Best Hot Dog: East Coast Contenders

@Hawk Krall That may be true, but that's about as valid as making a list of the greatest football players of all time and leaving Brett Favre off because he had a few bad seasons with the Jets and Vikings and completely ignoring everything he did in the 90% of his career up until that point.

I'm sure Nathan's may not be as great (to some) as it used to be, but Jesus, the place is still the quintessential hot dog and one of the greatest dogs (in the original, anyway) as can be had anywhere else. They're no more "fast food mediocre" than Gray's, that's for sure.

I just don't get it. I'm not saying "my guys are the best and they should be there," it just caught me by surprise. To me, it's like making a list of the best steakhouses in NYC and not including Peter Luger or Old Homestead.

I'm sure you guys had your reasons, whatever they were, but Nathan's didn't even make the list!? It's the quintessential hot dog!

I'm really surprised by that.

This Week's Poll Results: DIY It Is

I'm almost in a mindset where I'd take mediocre homemade over good Pro pizza. I really do appreciate homemade. I joke with my wife that she's my favorite pizzeria.

AHT Poll: Do You Like Secret Sauce?

I have to say, though, I like Toma's in Santa Monica better than the one In N Out calls "spread." Then again, it's all just a variation on Thousand Island dressing anyway. Either way, it's definitely good. I have noticed, though, that it seems to be a west coast thing. Am I wrong about that?

In the East Village: Two Boots vs. Lil' Frankie's

Adam, not to belabor the point, but which one did you try? I've heard the quality varies between the one in the Village and the one in Grand Central (which is the one I frequent)

In the East Village: Two Boots vs. Lil' Frankie's

I don't know... I've had Two Boots' Sicilian quite a few times and it's one of my favorite pizzas on earth. The Dude and the Big Maybelle, while a bit gimmicky, are also really good....

What don't you like about them Adam?
