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.
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: '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.

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.
Cute, Morbid Sushi Figures
I need this print badly.
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.
Valentine's Day Giveaway: Macarons from Itzy Bitzy Patisserie
Coconut with key lime filling. oh boy.
Wall Street CEOs, Get Familiar with Ramen
What was the sodium content in that post?
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.
In Videos: Barack Obama Doesn't Know What a Half-Smoke Is
I care about free chili. mmm.
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.
