A recipe for a more hearty twist on the French Onion Soup.
“She doesn’t even know what’s going on. She know I’m on the show, but it’s hard to realize your son is on national TV because in Italy we don’t have these things. In Italy, if you are going on TV, it’s because you killed a whole family somewhere or you robbed a bank. So it doesn’t really happen that you are on national TV for something good. My mom, she was very happy. She told me she saw me on Google. And I told her, “Mom. I’m not on Google. Google is a search engine.”

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but dark chocolate is my weakness. These molten lava cakes sound ridiculously simple, yet rich and sweet.
Ethical Meat vs. Meat Hype: A Look at “All Natural”, “Grass-Fed” and Other Half-Truths →

Includes the article It’s a Jungle Out There: What do meat labels mean?, which helps demystify the terms used on meat labels. Very helpful!
I encourage everyone to learn where their food comes from, with as little process as possible. Not only is it more ethical, it’s ultimately better for you.
“The problem arises when the only people who use the word “foodie” are those people who are using it to label themselves as members of some caste of society that is superior to the others. Snobs. They look down on others with an air of “I am better than you because I like these special foodie things.” These self-proclaimed foodies won’t eat the non-luxury things. “Ohdearheavensno, I would never, no never, pooh pooh, eat macaroni and cheese. I will not, simply cannot, eat anything less than halibut cheeks and caviar on truffled scrambled duck eggs.” Or something like that (incidentally, halibut cheeks are quite tasty). In other words, “foodie” basically means “annoyingly picky snob.”

While I agree that snobs of any kind are undesirable, I don’t necessarily associate the word “Foodie” with them. However, I also don’t feel like one term can encapsulate all food and drink lovers. Why do we feel the need to have a cute nickname? We are simply fans of food. Anyway, this blog entry was a pleasure to read, and gives one a lot of food for thought. ;)

Bourdain Declares Three Little Pigs Sandwich ‘Greatest Sandwich in America’ →

Follow link for the video (embed disabled).
In the last week’s No Reservations, Tony Bourdain had the Three Little Pigs Sandwich at Chicago’s Silver Palm restaurant: smoked ham, a breaded pork cutlet, two strips of bacon, blanketed in a thick coating of gruyere, topped with two fried eggs, all on a brioche bun.
“This is a work of genius, in an evil way…. A two-fisted symphony of pork, cheese, fat, and starch… that sandwich is the greatest sandwich in America. This is the apex of the sandwich-making art… the sandwich that dreams are made of.”
It looks like Bourdain finished the whole thing, but I imagine that I’d be splitting this sandwich with two, maybe three other people. Must try.
