Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 3: Pichet Ong's Guilty Pleasure Sweet

Chips Ahoy regular chocolate chip cookies or graham crackers dipped/soaked in milk until just about the point where they are about to fall apart and are lost, but not quite that far, and they then melt in your mouth. Whole milk please. ~ 25 seconds for the chips ahoy, 10 for graham crackers.

Dear Slice: Check Out My Birthday Pizza Cake!

Nice design, but I think it still deserves a post over here: http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ Call it lack of imagination, but I get a little sick thinking about biting into a pizza looking cake and having it be all sweet and sugary. The sentiment is nice though :-)

When on the Jersey Turnpike, Eat at Popeyes

For maximum enjoyment, you should try making a carmel biscuit w/ a Popeye's delicious buttery biscuit. It's exactly what it sounds like and is completely disgusting and awesome.

Yelp Extorting Businesses

This is completely lame.

Is it Rude to Eat on Mass Transit?

Is it rude to eat something within the vicinity of people that will definitely smell the smells of what you are eating? I love tuna, i even love a good fast food burger + fries once in a while, but when I get off the train and my fracking coat smells like an acrid, unwashed McDonalds' fry bin, yes it's rude. And disgusting by the way. Turkey sandwich? OK. Bag of chips? Pastry? Sure. Hot foods or otherwise smelly cold foods? You're a jerk. I kind of want to just go up to someone and say, so, you brought enough for the whole train right? And then yank a fry.

Best Fried Chicken in NYC?

Damn you midtown lunch Zach being all over these NY food related blogs. Charles' Chicken I say! I do agree with you though about Popeyes.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 23: What's Your Ideal Diet Breakfast?

Wow. That was unexpected. An frankly, pretty gross. Although the weird thing is, a girl I work with does the same exact thing.

Unofficially and unanimously is strawberry ice cream, whether breyers/edys/turkey hills (the good kind). I'm supposed to take just one spoon; however, temptation gets the best of me as I often cheat by scooping more than one spoon.

Guilty pleasure: many combinations of salty and sweet. Good chocolate with pretzels, popcorn, etc.

I have traversed to Cake Man Raven for some Red Velvet cake. I have done a top 10 cupcake run (in one day!). I can diagnose the intrinsic differences in the various gelati, soft-serve and custards throughout the city. However, my guilty pleasure or pleasures are far less culinary: Dairy Queen Skor Blizzard and the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup sundae from Friendly's:-)

Smores:, the graham crackers had to be cracked just right so they were squares from the original rectangles, and i had to pack as many marshmallows & chocolates as i could fit on the surface to glue the graham lid down. Mmmm.. they smelled amazing as they expanded and bloated to perfection!
