What Do You Think Of Sam Sifton?

I had my doubts until I read the review of Bill's Burger Bar this morning. I'm happy he can keep it short, to the point and honest. I thought in his first reviews you could feel a little too much of his own excitement about starting the position seeping into the review, and that was overpowering the food related commentary. Excited to see what he gets up to next year.

Cooking from the Glossies: Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes

My mom has been making similar ones for years, they are awesome, and actually even better after a few days in the fridge :)

The Worst Seafood Display Ever? Or the Most Brilliant? You Decide

Brilliant! This would offend the sort of people that eat chicken, but not if it has bones in it, or can't take the sight of a fish head, but love them some salmon fillets. I approve this display! Although sadly those people probably aren't in a food store to begin with, but screw them anyway.

'Man vs. Food' to Visit Brick Lane, Curry House, Sylvia's, Katz's Deli

The phaal was hot, but not mind meltingly redonkulous. Our waiter said me and my compatriot were the 193rd and 194th people to finish it. I find it really hard to believe that the #s are so low.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks

Filet. If you can get a foie gras + butter chapeaux on top of that, it's pretty much the best thing in the world. Nod to Dylan Prime.

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.

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.
