'Top Chef Masters' Finale: And The Winner Is...
I didn't get to watch any of the episodes (don't have cable), but I think reading your recaps was probably more entertaining anyway. I mean, you fit in SAD KEANU! Thanks for the fun posts. :)

Today's Special Burger at Rub BBQ: Burnt End Burger
@Abe: Aw, that's early to run out. :[ I got there around 8:30, sort of late i guess, so I just got a Rub burger.
International Hot Dog Search, Part One
Holy moly, I need to try that Colombian hot dog! Looks awesome. I've had the one from San Antonio Bakery just once, definitely gotta go back.
I don't like burgers. Help?
I'm going to agree with joeqboo, who described what sounds like a very tasty burger. :) It's okay to not love the crap out of burgers! I haven't had a burger in Philly that made me go "OMG YAY" yet. The one from Village Whiskey was my fave so far, but it's not my favorite kind, which is more the sort from Shake Shack (small fast food-style burgers made of high quality ingredients, including a well seasoned, moist, fatty beef patty). I also love the burgers from Rub BBQ. So if you're ever in NYC, perhaps you can go to Shake Shack or Rub and see if either of those sway your preference...
And if not, pizza and fried chicken are damn delicious as well.

@yamatosoul: Oops, thanks for pointing that over! Yeah, that doesn't make sense; I'll take it out.
Video: McDonald's Recent Gay-Themed Ad in France
@artychoke: Because we don't (yet) live in a world when a major corporation can make a gay-themed ad without turning any heads? Because the ad can be interpreted in different ways? Because a lot of people don't like McDonald's?
Or do you find it surprising that this ad got mixed reviews?

@myinnerfatty: You can be at the forefront of a no pants revolution. ...Although it will probably result in jail time and maybe being put on a government list of some sort. :[
Video: How To Make Root Beer
@MattT: Sweet jesus that is...an important thing to not be quantified. Sorry for not noticing that. I guess they assume you have the same jug they do...er, nope.
Here are more useful recipes: making root beer extract from scratch, CHOW's recipe, a couple of root beer recipes.
Poll: Your Sweetheart Doesn't Like Burgers—Dealbreaker?
@Kenji: I like how you probably instill a greater appreciation of burgers in everyone except your wife. Aw. [pat pat]
@sally599 and Meggie: That's true, but this poll has nothing to with whether the person would be able to find something he/she likes at a burger place, but whether he/she like burgers overall. Just to pick another food, say I love grilled cheese sandwiches and my sweetheart doesn't. He wouldn't have to eat a grilled cheese sandwich if we eat out, but I'd wonder "DUDE WHY DON'T YOU LIKE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES?!" ;) That relationship probably wouldn't last.

Video: Making Cuban Hamburgers with Lourdes Castro on Ozersky.tv
@simon: I just remembered seeing it on the brunch menu at Calle Ocho, and while searching on Menupages I found it at Amor Cubano. They're both out of my way, but...I want...burgerrrr...

@simon: I used to love putting potato chips in my sandwiches, so I figure fried potato sticks in a burger would be sort of like that. I LOVE DA CRUNCH.
Unfortunately, I don't know if you can get this in NYC. I haven't heard of any place that makes it, at least. Hmm...
