Ramen and Pork Buns from Sui Ren in Williamsburg

i went there shortly after it opened, and among other things tried a grilled eel + foie gras skewer that was ridiculously good.

What Weird Family Foods Did You Grow Up Thinking Were Normal?

Serious Sandwiches: The PMB at Sullivan Street Bakery

i work near the bakery, and try to pick up one of their sandwiches (or their amazing pizzas) at least once a week. the PBM (or PMB, as i think they call it there) is out of this world. they've also got a roasted beet, goat cheese, and arugula sandwich that sometimes makes me weep with joy.

Ithaca, New York: What/Where to Eat?

definitely glenwood pines! a lovely view of the lake + their burger/fries got me through 8 years of grad school up there.

and i second louie's lunchtruck -- (ask around the cornell campus; just about any undergrad can direct you to where the truck is parked). good, solid, greasy grub. can't be beat.

enjoy the gorges!

Best bring-home food vittles from the UK?

for indian/curry/kebab -- avoid brick lane, and head a little further east to a place called new tayyab. (http://www.tayyabs.co.uk) amazing lamb kebabs, fairly inexpensive, almost always a wait .... but completely worth it. (note -- it's byob.)
