Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Masters' Ep. 7: Let the Competition Begin

Why do I keep seeing Thomas Keller's name during the opening sequence to the show when he hasn't made an appearance?

Eat for Eight Bucks: French Onion Pastina

I made this last night, it was delicious. I had about half a cup of extra beef stock, so I used that instead of water for the first two deglazings, then used a quarter cup of sherry for the final deglazing.

The key step was using a mandoline to slice the onions, I think it sped up the cooking time.

A Tale of Two Bakeries: Boston's Flour Bakery and Clear Flour Bread

Getting to either Clear Flour or Flour is a nightmare for those of us on the wrong side of the Charles River. Fortunately, there's the Hi-Rise Bread Company on Huron Ave. in Cambridge. Killer brioche, homemade jams, and the best chocolate cream sandwich cookies I've ever tasted.

America's Regional Candy

I spent my undergrad years at MIT, just a few blocks downwind of the New England Confectionery Company. Every morning's walk to classes was scented with the smell of Necco Wafers.

The company relocated to Everett because the building and property had become so valuable they decided to sell. A condition of the sale was that the new owners had to preserve the water tank at the top of the building, which was painted to resemble a roll of wafers. The new occupants, Novartis, repainted the tank with a DNA double helix - with base pairs colored like the wafers: pink, purple, orange, and green.

Do Not Want: Dunkin' Donuts Egg White Flatbread Breakfast Sandwiches

All these recent abominations introduced at DD are from Executive Chef/Director of Culinary Development Stan Frankenthaler, of the late, great Salamander restaurant in Cambridge, MA. Lo, how the mighty have fallen!
