One Trick Pony Restaurants

If I said beans could I serve any kind of them? I guess maybe it's like serving granny apple smiths and macintoshes---or maybe it's just cheating. :)

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

I don't have many stories about chicken, but I've fallen in love with chicken dishes over the past year---especially fried chicken and arroz con pollo.

The Best Pies in America: The Serious Eats Pie Honor Roll

Great list... though I've been so disappointed with Soutine's pies and tarts over the past few holidays that I don't think I'll be going back. I'll have to give some of the other NYC establishments here a try.

Cook the Book: 'Whole Grains: Every Day, Every Way'

Brown rice is probably easiest, though wheat bran is incorporated into most of my baking.

Introduction to French Macarons

Wonderful post---I loved it! I'm scared to start baking my own macs since my standards for those I eat elsewhere are pretty high...

Cook the Book: 'How to Pick a Peach'

for cooking: peppers, since you can roast and skin or simply saute them.
for eating raw: nectarines are my favorite fruit at the moment.

Feeling cheesy?

Cypress Grove's Midnight Moon Aged Goat Cheese is on the top of my list. I also love fresh raw milk cheese, especially Cherry Grove Farm's Jersey Giovane cheese (if you live near Lawrenceville, NJ, you should drop by the farm and get some!)

Mario Unclogged: A Great Meal at Seattle's Steelhead Diner

Sorry for your loss, Mario. Glad you found a good place to eat... though I agree that I find foods with truffle infusion disappointing a lot of the times... they seem to show off-y, to dependent on the truffle oil, and other flavors are sometimes suffocated.
