Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'

Even though we're not even close to Italian, my grandmother's spaghetti and meatballs still holds my heart. That's true comfort food for me.

What are you asking Santa (or whomever) to bring you?

I'd like the Momofuku book and a food mill. And some Vosges marshmallows.

Cook the Book: Pumpkin Baking

I love pumpkin pie as much as the next guy, but I'll always be a sucker for salted and baked pumpkin seeds. mmm.

From Talk

What's your favorite food when drunk?

Gyro and BBQ fries = best late-night food. McDonald's fountain coke = best morning-after drink.

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

Absurdly large plates of breakfast potatoes and pepper-filled omelets.

Who Likes Grape Soda?

I'm willing to bet that I love grape soda more than anyone else on the internets.

What's Your Favorite Food Court Stop?

Orange Julius wins, although I have a HUGE soft spot for greasy Sbarro's. Oh, and Hot Sam's pizza pretzels.

The Tornado Potato Touches Down in the U.S.

I'm giving serious thought to going to the Minnesota State Fair just to eat.

Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'

There's a bakery from the Chicago area called Galway Bakery who was out here for a farmers market a couple of weeks ago with the best gingerbread EVER. That earned them #1 on my list for the moment.

Cook the Book: 'Modern Spice'

I think I'd go Japanese as well. My knife skills could use a lesson or ten.

Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling

We would spend a lot of time during the summers grow up at a little cottage my grandparents had in southern Wisconsin. Every single morning, my grandfather and I would go out fishing until lunchtime. Upon returning, he would clean and prepare the fish and my grandmother and I would work on the rest of the meal for that night. Such fun.

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'

Going to a few places around San Antonio with my mom when she finally visited for the first time since her teens. Besides the obvious nostalgic aspect for her, I had some very good tacos.

Served: The Pleasure and Horror of Brunch

There are few things in life that I enjoy as much as Sunday morning drinking.

Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'


I make my lasagna with a red pepper puree instead of tomato sauce. I don't know if it's everyone's thing, but I love it.

The Great Fast-Food Wings Taste Test


Eh, those CitySearch things aren't surveys, though. They're basically awards for whoever spends the most in advertising money for the local paper or whoever puts together the results. I'm not going to eat any of these wings, but it doesn't offend me to see the post.

A Thai Pizza Has Bacon and Cheese Stuffed in the Crust

It makes me uncomfortable that I agree with the last three comments, yet still want very badly to try this.

Photo of the Day: The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways

It's a good thing that doesn't resemble my handwriting or I would probably be under suspicion.

Chewing the Fat: Batali and Bourdain on Sex

Okay, it's too early in the morning to listen to Batali talk about sex.

'Culinary Slumming'

Isn't the "foodie" persona just one who eats for pleasure? It's not like foodie automatically equals gourmet. You really shouldn't feel guilty about a pleasure unless you're eating handfuls of lard out of the bucket or something like that. And even then, I might be swayed.

The Steak Sandwich to End All Steak Sandwiches

Jarritos is good stuff. The lime flavor is quite nice.

Domino's Oven Baked Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich: No Cheese, No Steak, Lots of Bread

I don't know. I really don't want bigger portions of crappy food. It's sort of like asking someone to kick you harder in the junk.

Our fav meal is an oven roasted chicken with sides like green beans creamed potatoes and a nice dessert like cheese cake

Cold weather is chili time! Made with fresh tomatoes, chunks of steak and some diced habanero for a little extra kick. A big bowl of chili, caesar salad, and cheddary potato rolls are a truly memorable and satisfying meal.

Mom's homemade shrimp creole night is a big family favorite year-round, followed by Mom's holiday time cookie bake-a-thon. Yum!

I love my Mom's boiled chicken and a big bowl of soup she makes with the stock!

Kielke and farmer sausage with "gravy" (aka cream sauce with onions). Oh thank goodness for Mennonite roots. If only I worked like a farmer to work it off.

I love pot roast with roasted potatoes, onions, and carrots. YUM!

My family would be happy if I'd make them chicken and dumplings at least once a week. (And it's so easy!)

My family did roast chicken dinners every Sunday when I was growing up. Can't beat grandma's cooking!

Spaghetti with meatballs and chunks of Italian sausage in a smooth garlicky red sauce, caesar salad with homemade garlic croutons, warm crusty Italian bread with butter, a nice barolo, and lemon cheesecake for dessert.

Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

Coming from a Turkish household, my favorite family dinner is mercimek çorbasi (lentil soup) with köfte (ground beef/meatball-like patties), domatesli pilav (tomato rice), and yogurt.

Favorite family dinner would have to be my childhood birthday meal of Earl Abel's fried chicken and black bottom pie.
