I'm so glad you posted this! I was looking for it all day yesterday. I agree about Walken's awful teleprompter reading, but I thought it was a fun skit.

ak - i'm still sorting through all of my photos (i just got back from china) it is the EXACT same restaurant!! small world!

i asked my mom to translate and she said something along the lines of stir fried factory raised chicken, but she wasn't 100% sure, she thought it was a bit weird, she also didn't recognize it.

Wow. My mind is blown. I took the exact same picture last month. Small world. Does anyone know exactly what the chinese says though?

There Will Be No HP7 Spoilers on Serious Eats!

PHEW! i was worried! ;)
we're going to be spoiler free at yumsugar too. wish the same could be said for my fellow sugar sites (i won't even put the link just in case, but they have the big spoilers and I now have to avoid talking to half of my co-workers) I even thought about reading that photographed version of the book just so it wouldn't be spoiled.

what will you be eating when you read it?

Big in Japan: The Pizza Hut Double Roll Pizza

i have seen this photo a bajillion times and yet, my mind is blown each time.

QotD: Fill in the blank: I can't keep _____ in the house.

The stupid sour gummi bears from Bristol Farms, they're different and more delicious than most sour gummi bears. They must be made from crack, the pack is usually gone in 3.4 seconds.

The Serious Eats Doughnut Glossary

my friends and i had this debate once, a long john is practically unheard of on the west coast. here they're just called chocolate bars or maple bars depending on the frosting.

Being Mario Batali's Sous-Chef Was No Picnic

What a great story, thanks for sharing! I always try to save my confident cockiness for after the knifewielding is over...

From Serious Eats

Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine

i HAD to have one, and it never worked right. I always pretended it did as to not let my parents know i was so disappointed in my new treasure (i thought they'd never buy me anything else again if they knew). If you need shaved ice/snowcones, get yourself one of those ice block shavers at the asian grocery store for 10 bucks instead - they work amazingly!

Cook the Book: Do-It-Yourself Power Bars

I love this book, it's so beautiful and well put together. I was actually thinking about trying a few of these recipes this week.

This picture is a lie. The guy's fingers and face would not be nearly that clean!

Here's My Favorite Brownie Recipe—What's Yours?

I'm with you Ed, bring me the brownies, cookies and pies anyday!

I'll have to give these ones a try, but Nicole Rees had a great one in Fine Cooking last year. It's won me several friendly office bake-offs since, here's the recipe.

But walnuts, really? Great brownies have no need for walnuts.

Food Fight: Food Network Awards to Debut Sunday

These awards seem so weird, I wonder who will accept the award for all these food items...

Here are a bunch of pictures of chefs on the red carpet (they clean up really well!) and for a greater read, check out side salad's detailed experience of being in the live award audience. the pictures of the audience at the end are pretty great.

oh my gosh, these are amazingly cute! I need to make them!

Top Ten Taiwanese Snacks

Oh and I know that it's not a found in Taiwan only sort of thing (considering you can buy a pack here in chinatown for 99cents), but I have a secret place for those taiwanese pineapple cakes.

Top Ten Taiwanese Snacks

oh god i love everything on that list. the shaved ice is my personal favorite, but don't forget the fruit, the fruit there f'ing rocks. It's been 10 years since I last went there, but I dream of those guava.

French Toast Waffles

Waffles and french toast together at last? Yum! Dorie's puffed pancake was fantastic (don't know if it's in the pancake book, but its in her first book Sweet Time), so I think I'd trust her for waffles too.

From Serious Eats

Bread with Back Support

Something tells me I would fall asleep on it, wake up and have the upper top corners eaten off. Does it lay flat? You could get two and have a really ridiculous "you as sandwich" photo shoot.

David Eyre's Pancake, Oven-Baked And Poofy

What a weird coincidence, I just made my first puffy pancake last week. I used a recipe from Dorie Greenspan's first book. Oh, and a lot of people call these a "Dutch Baby."

Ed Levine, P.I.

I embarked on an accidental pizza investigation recently. We were headed to go-karts in burlingame (just south of san francisco) and had to wait a couple hours before track time. To kill time we drove around and stumbled across toto's (scroll down to see the picture). An oldschool joint with damn fine pizza at a really good price to boot. At the counter you can view the pizza perfectionists assemble the pies and toss the dough. It's out of the way, else I'd have been back a bunch of times by now. I'd definitely add it to your list of places to investigate!

Is There a Serious Eater Who Hasn't Thought About Opening a Restaurant?

My mom (who is not in the restaurant business, but 95% of her friends are) once said to me, "If you have someone you hate, and I mean really, really hate, encourage them to open a restaurant."
