AHT Poll: What Type of Mustard is Best on a Burger?

One good tablespoon of Tabasco mixed with 2 cloves of minced garlic, please.

Paradise Lost at Paradise Cove Beach Cafe in Malibu, California

I also live in So Cal and I can also second Damon's comments about the
great ocean /beach views and general experience along Malibu. Really
fantastic. However, since some years ago when Bob Morris took over this place, the food which was never it's primary point really went downhill to
just plain disgusting in most of my experiences. Morris was behind Gladstones and a rib joint mini chain as well. Gladstones draws the crowds for sure but the food is even worse than Paradise Cove. You can't
eat scenery. Like most beach locales there are just no real winners along
Malibu. Best advice: go for the views, have a drink or two, and dine elsewhere.

Pizzeria Owner Who Pistol-Whipped Customer May Be Mob Informant

Good story! But how is the pizza in this joint? Coal oven or gas?
What style? Need to round this out and get a taste. Thanks!

Cocktails: Rediscovering Dubonnet

My thanks to JamieB for drawing my attention to the origin of the Dubonnet which we buy in the U.S. I did not read the label closely until just now.
Afraid that a drive to Canada from Southern California is just not worth the
opportunity to buy the "real" stuff. My French born wife prefers her Dubonnet on two small rocks with a twist, as did her mother. I, myself do not care for it at all. Sante!

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Hungry for Paris'

My personal favorite is Bofinger, 5 & 7 rue de la Bastille. Best choices
are either the grande plateau de fruits mer or choucroute garni.
Beautiful decor, especially the leaded glass ceiling; and the service
matches the cuisine. Just be certain to bring along sufficient euros
or a well backed credit card.

ESPN's Todd Blackledge Visits the Apple Pan

Yeah! The Apple Pan gives you consistent quality. Great
burgers and fries, but Todd should hav squeezed the burgers
up a bit to avoid biting into the paper wrappers,

When In Paris, Do Not Get a Burger at Hippopotamus

I agree with Amanda. Hippo is quite alright for a simple steak frites.
It does give a slight impression of being similar to an American chain
in some ways, except for the practice of sometimes seating singles
with other singles who are perfect strangers. This occurred during
very busy times. Overall, not bad value when hungry and out of other
ideas.

Burger Book Giveaway: 'The Hamburger: A History'

Read what I need
Eat so much to show my greed
Did I say rare with salt, pepper and pickles
Mustard can be added for a few tickles
Each one to be quickly griddled
As simple as this you won't be riddled
Thought this might rhyme, but I would only burp!
