Cook the Book: ''Wichcraft'

A gourmet version of an Egg McMuffin OR 'wichcraft's brioche cinnamon buns sandwiching eggs, cheese, and bacon. I really love eggs...

Union Square Falafel Battle: Maoz, Pita Joe, Moshe's, and Rainbow

Did anyone watch the Bobby Flay Throwdown at Taïm?? He won...which is absolutely absurd. I can't imagine anyone's falafel balls beating Taïm!

Baoguette: Great Vietnamese Sandwiches in Murray Hill, Possibly the Best Banh Mi in NYC

Going to this establishment is literally on my to-do list for tomorrow. When I moved to NYC, I began to miss my comforting Vietnamese food, which brought me to Nicky's - as it is all the craze lately. However, when I ate there, although it was very tasty, it would not really call it a Vietnamese sandwich. The beauty of a bánh mì is that the sandwich is on a delicious crusty, aromatic, chewy French baguette. Nicky's, however, uses more like a French roll... This may be picky and pretentious to point out, but I mean, I fervently believe that a quality sandwich is mostly in the bread, no?

It's 10 p.m. and You're Starving

I usually grab a box of cereal or a bag of trail mix or anything that doesn't have to be prepared in the kitchen and retreat to my room so that my roommates don't think I'm a fat-ass.

Gruel, the Real Deal

I associate "gruel" with a particular Simpsons episode when the kids at Camp Krusty were forced to eat "Krusty Brand Imitation Gruel", whose slogan was "9 out of 10 orphans can't tell the difference".

Serious Eats City Guide: Los Angeles

Might I suggest that, besides obviously In n' Out, the best burger you can get in Los Angeles is from Pie N' Burger in Pasadena, a quaint little joint that has been unchanged since the 1960s. And, of course, the cliché Father's Office burger...but that's more of a gourmet sandwich than a real, good ol' burger.

Milk: Way or No Way?

Soymilk. I've been drinking soymilk (sweetened with sugar) since I was a kid, as it is a common Vietnamese beverage.

Favorite Food from the '90s?

Handy-snacks. My adult love for brie spread on multi-grain crackers began with my childhood diet of ambiguous cheese smeared on rectangular crackers with a red stick.

Cook the Book: 'The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook'

Pastitsio. (Actually, anything with a lot of carbs and cheese really.)
