Ride JetBlue, Get Free Cream Cheese

I think they pump more air into the cheese like low fat ice cream. Low fat doesn't take too bad, it's the fat free that's like cardboard (and scary). I'd rather run an extra mile than eat that.

Red Velvet Cake Revisited

Great in-depth article on Red Velvet on ajc.com (Atlanta Journal-Constitution's website):

Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate

Believe it not, I learned to like cheese only about two years ago (my midwest friends nearly disowned me when they found out)-- but now? Well, I almost can't go a day without it! Now, I'm not yet into the moldy, stinky stuff-- that might take a few decades. But I have found that I really love a good Piave. It's all about the butterscotchiness.

Which Plain Potato Chip Rules? What's Your Favorite?

Twiglets are only good if you like Marmite-- blech! Ed, save yourself!

Restaurant suggestiong in Atlanta

I moved to Atlanta from NYC a year ago. There's great food down here! By downtown, what do you mean? I'd check out Ecco, if you're in the midtown area. The Globe is really good, too.

'On Top of Spaghetti' Book Giveaway

I love a good lasagna-- the old fashioned kind, but with hot italian sausage in place of the meat. A friend of mine did just make some incredible homemade ravioli filled with, very simply, ricotta, mint, and spring peas. It was fantastic!

Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? First meal scene to make me NOT want to eat. That's power.

Where's the Android app?

I was recently in Chicago, which I knew to be a serious food town, but I hadn't had the time to plan my meals and for lunch I found myself a little stuck. We went to Frontera twice! But we were interested in the charming, unique stuff too... I found that what I really needed was an on-the-go guide that I could rely on to tell me what were the best restaurants near me at any time. Or farmers markets or other food lover haunts, for that matter. My husband and I love to be food tourists!

Like most seriouseats fans, I've come to trust this community in particular like no other food loving community for advice. Would be neat to be guided by the same community while on the go.

Portland, OR restaurant recommendations?

I'm headed to Portland, which I know to be a serious foodie town, at the end of July and need some recommendations. What must I not miss? I like to eat anything and everything.

And what's the name of that fab pizza place?

Thanks!

Fun coffee shops, UWS or Soho

I'm coming to make my annual pilgramage to NY, where I used to live before I moved to Atlanta and fell out of touch with the good places to go in NY! I need some recommendations of good spots to meet friends for coffee/treats, and/or a glass of wine in my afternoons. I imagine I'll be spending most of my time on the UWS and the soho/west village/meatpacking area. Faves?
