Serious Eats: The Gastronomic Gamer's Profile

Do you ever dream about food or cooking?

I once dreamed that I opened a book and the middles of each page were cut out. Each time I turned a page, a new food would appear in the recess. I would gobble everything on each page. I have to stop reading so many food books...

If I ever have a friend named Bob, I'll be sure to call them Baba Ghannouj.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns: The Most Important Restaurant in America

When my parents went there, in between courses they got a test tube of carrot juice to clear their palettes and there was a waiter per person standing behind each chair. I must say, that's a bit drastic.

Salmonella Scare Halts Tomato Sales

Damn it. I'm not that fond of store-bought tomatoes, but it just depresses me when a food is basically unusable, like spinach was for a while (although I do love spinach).

Your Favorite Restaurant in Manhattan

I love those blintzes at B&H. Mmm... blueberry... Maybe I'll try Arturos sometime.

Your Favorite Restaurant in Manhattan

I'm not really looking for a cheap meal. I want to find a really good restaurant that just happens to not put a dent in my wallet.

Polish food? I've never tried that. Maybe that'll be my next destination...

Your Favorite Restaurant in Manhattan

Well, romanticism isn't really coming into play because I ate with my dad...

Anyway, I went to Do Hwa. It was good, but it wasn't so amazing to write a review... All Korean food that I've tried so far has been great, but this was the most disappointing I've had. Not that it wasn't delicious. It's just that my standards for Korean food are high. Also, we were the only people there! I don't know why, though. It's a perfectly good restaurant.

I'd still like to hear about more good restaurants for the next time I dine out.

I hope that someday it'll be able to remove scum from melted butter. Then it will be worth something!

What's the chintziest food that you love to eat?

I love Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies and Drake's apple pies. There is NO snack you can get at a supermarket that's better.

Unfortunately, the comment was too late for me to go out tonight. Whatever restaurant I choose to go to will have to wait for a few days. Until then, keep posting restaurants.

Haagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry's ?

Haagen-Daz is more delicious, but Ben and Jerry's has a bigger variety. Ben and Jerry's is for more experimental people.

What do I do with my fresh coconut?

I once had coconut milk in Chinatown. It was amazing for five minutes. Then it was the most horrible thing I had tasted. It's like tonic water. The after-taste is what turns you off.
