Snapshots from Israel: Qatayef at Diwan al-Saraya
I believe they're also known as qatayef.
Pizza Oven Shaped Like a Human Head; Pizzas Go In Mouth
Apparently not, if you read the linked review:
"It was so utterly devoid of flavor that I swear it actually leeched some of the precious life force from my tastebuds. Only by shaking a blizzard of salt and parmesan onto the slices could I extract any flavor from the wedge-shaped objects I with increasing unwillingness inserted into my mouth."
Festival Food in Australia: Dagwood Dogs
I've seen pluto pups in chippies before, so it's not purely festival food. The battered sav or (saveloy) is distinguished from the dagwood dog by two two things:
1) A battered sav is made with a saveloy sausage: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saveloy) while the dagwood dog is made with an Australian style hot dog. Both are made with a standard fish n' chip batter.
2) Battered savs don't have a stick.
Cook the Book: 'The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion'
Rock cakes. (Which, despite the name, is a cookie. Or biscuit, depending where you are.)
Chipotle Relaunches iPhone App
They're certainly not the first to use a computer to order a burrito - Adobe were doing it back in the 90s.
California Eatin': Dutch Crunch in the Bay Area
Yep, looks very similar to Wegmans' Marco Polo. I wonder if they evolved separately, or did one inspire the other?
Exotic Eggs Available at Whole Foods
There was a bit in KCRW's Good Food podcast about emu eggs - "[they're] equivalent to 10 chicken eggs and fluff up nicely when scrambled."
bonus tip - it's pronounced "eem-yew", not "e-moo". (/ˈiːmjuː/, if you're IPA inclined.)

The Foil Pie Pan goes platinum
Alternatively, there's Lorena Battazueta's Gourmet Collection, made in Brooklyn. Most of them are oven and dishwasher safe.
Snapshots from the UK: The English Foodstuff Lexicon
Aren't pasties usually made with short pastry, not puff?
Another area of possible confusion- Mars bars.
UK Mars Bar == US Milky Way.
UK Milky Way == US 3 Musketeers.
Mars USA has been kind enough to simplify matters by renaming the US Mars Bar to Snickers Almond.
In Videos: How to Put Out a Kitchen Fire
Chipper isn't the best adjective for a video about fryer fires. I'm sure it's an unintentional pun, but it might be taken the wrong way.
Serious Eats Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers, $30 and Under
The chestnut scorer has terrible reviews at amazon:
- After buying 2 of these for myself and a friend, they both fell apart after several uses (the hinge pins came out and have been re-installed several times),
- It really worked well until it broke after maybe a dozen uses. I did not buy this from this seller - the bad review is for the product. I don't know what kind of metal it's made of but the inner part broke and Amazon would not help because it was bought by a third party vendor.

Or the Chip Shot.
Robot Flips Pancakes
That looks like okonomiyaki. Yum!
In Videos: Alinea's Grant Achatz Makes Sous Vide Turkey
Summary: Emotional involvement in the tradition of Thanksgiving means everyone screws up the turkey. Butchering the turkey means you can cook it correctly.
They sous vide the cuts with sage, thyme, garlic, butter (or other fat), and while that's happening, caramelize the bones (no stirring until it's done). Achatz chops what looks like celery, onions, and garlic, deglazes the carcass with wine, then the video ends. Is there more of this video?
What's Up With Eggo?
No love for Lego Eggos?

Looks like I've missed out on a possible substitute for Arnotts' Hundreds and Thousands.
'Imbibe' Magazine Wins 2008 Michael Jackson Beer Journalism Award
This comes uncomfortably close to speaking ill of the dead. Seriously, you don't know who the other Michael Jackson is?
