We Talk to Bobby Flay About Bobby's Burger Palace

To be clear Nick, my point isn't that the Shake Shack doesn't cook to order, it is that by and large because of the popularity and business, they don't often pull off cooking it properly.

We Talk to Bobby Flay About Bobby's Burger Palace

It isn't your fault at all Adam, but that was one of the worst interviews I've ever read! I'm glad you went out of your way to get the interview, but Bobby couldn't give you any better than "I'm not commenting on future locations" and "That's proprietary"?? What a D-Bag.

As a side note, I know that the only cooking to medium thing has been a big problem for hamburger lovers everywhere, but it seems silly that folks are getting up in arms over it. At the Shake Shack they routinely cook their burgers all the way through (especially when they're busy, which I think you've written about before in the past), but the lines never subside there. Plus, this Bobby's place is clearly looking for the "American Burger Fan Who Wants To Go Out On A Limb By Putting Chips or Jalepenos on their 'Gourmet' Burger" as their target market, and it has been my experience that 98% of that group don't eat their burgers medium rare (or, sadly, even medium).

Top Chef: Mother's Day Comes Early

there is no way that they made that much food for under $10 when you have to shop at whole foods. i know chicago is a bit cheaper than new york, but here in the NYC $10 buys you six strawberries and an onion.

Frank Bruni Goes Ko-razy

There was something about the whole outsourcing thing on Mahalo Daily last week. This guy who wrote a book about how he does a 4-hour work week, and basically outsources pretty much everything, including having his email read by some woman in India. Crazy stuff.

But enough complaining about the Momofuku Ko reservations already! Even if he doesn't outsource to India he could at least grab an intern to take care of getting him a reservation.

Gordon Ramsay Is Not a Jerk; He Just Plays One on American TV

I agree with the sentiment that he brings out some really human moments - on the British version of Kitchen Nightmares there are numerous episodes that are very touching (for lack of a better term). Gordon really has to struggle to get the best out of people who he seems to genuinely feel are better than they appear (or cook).

Top Chef: Block Rockin' Eats

My favorite was one week when they were waiting on the judgement, and the camera is bouncing back and forth between each of them sitting there and stewing and shooting daggers at the other contestants, and behind each is literally a wall of GLAD products.

Absolutely the best cookie EVER! I had no idea these were so easy, I can't wait to try making these!

Ugh! Three Bucks a Slice

I think it is interesting that at $3 a slice, it really takes pizza out of being a cheaper option at lunch time. I doubt this will affect any of the pizzerias, as Manhattaners have shown that they'll pay all sorts of ridiculous prices for lunch, but bringing the cost of two slices up to six dollars is interesting - you can get a decent sandwich for $6, which can be a quite a bit healthier.

Just a thought... And as for the controversy being "quaint": even if we're all used to it now, I think we can easily agree that all those mediocre slices we've all had would taste a lot better at $1.50 instead of $2.25/$2.50 and especially $3.
