Roots Cafe in South Slope Wins With Stumptown Coffee, Bologna Sandwiches

This place needs to get some more love from readers. I went there this weekend on a food tour - bologna and cheese was fantastic. A testament to childhood foods reinterpreted with a quality concept.

Dunkin' Donuts Waffle Breakfast Sandwich vs. McD's McGriddle

You are my hero for this article. I have been an undercover McGriddles support since they debuted.

Like putting syrup in your scrambled eggs. Why not?

Am I the only one on the planet who dislikes ___, or loves ___?

Hates: Vegans - come on, no meat?! I was once forced to give up red meat and pork...that was what I like to call my Dark Ages

Loves: Sour Cream - by itself or for dip. Mix in a little adobo sauce for that good tex mex kick, yes!

This Week in the 'New York Times' Dining Section

Regarding the Anxious Restaurant comment: Did you guys see on Tasting Table today how Le Bernadin is making a play on black truffles? Ripert was commenting about how restaurants may start making it the new "it" thing because of the savings vs. white truffles.

I always find it interesting how a good chef has to really be a good business manager with a great sense for flavor.

Does Lyla's Cafe Creperie Serve the Best Burger in NYC?

I think if you cant present a rational discussion rebuttal without making the discussion personal, we have nothing more to talk about...

Does Lyla's Cafe Creperie Serve the Best Burger in NYC?

Enlightening...its an adjective?!

I guess both of you need a dictionary.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/epicurean (see the section titled 'noun' under both sources

While its fun to poke fun, you guys are kind of missing my point, and perhaps its because we dont really know each other. My point a) was that food writing should be less about the descriptors that can tend to distract from what we really want to know - how it made you feel, and b) there's a level of appropriateness for any given topic. I mean, you wouldnt wear a turtleneck and slacks to a backyard bbq would you?

I think i know the answer.

Cook the Book: 'Osteria'

As sad as it sounds, a good bowl of chocolate malt o meal (http://melindaschwakhofer.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/chocolate-malt-o-meal.jpg), heavy on the butter. Butter up some toast, crumble crispy bacon into the bowl, and spread on the bread. Roll like a taco and eat.

Mmm mmm, just like Mama used to make :)

Does Lyla's Cafe Creperie Serve the Best Burger in NYC?

Lol, touche on the spelling. But I personally have a distaste for food writing that's overly seasoned with adjectives. I mean, dont get me wrong, the description's accurate, but to a certain extent there should be some appreciation for a food for its simplistic ability to make a person feel happy to eat it. When I read about food, I want to live it, not feel like Im reading pretense.

Is that wrong?

Im sorry, this description just sounds like they wrote it with a thesaurus, not their palette. Id pass on the burger just for that...

Stop the persecution of cheeseburgers!

The Great Fast-Food Wings Taste Test

Aww, no love for Atomic Wings? BW3's? Both fast food joints geared towards wings only. I think there are a few stores for these chains in the city

Dinner Tonight: Eggplant Parmesan

Ive actually used this recipe before, phenomenal dish. Its amazing how much a little salt can do for eggplant, the drained veggie has a more solid texture that doesnt get soggy.
