- Waitin' Tables
Can’t help but pass along this Remainder from Jason Kottke - NY Times food critic Frank Bruni spends a week “undercover” as a waiter at a [Cambridge] restaurant. In the end, he realizes the hell that is being a waiter: trying to be fluent in the menu and the food, calm in the face of chaos, patient in the presence of rudeness, available when diners want that, invisible when they don’t. It’s a lot, and I should remember that. Does this realization dampen his dining expectations? Nope: I’d still like frequent water refills. And a martini from hell. Straight up.... - 9 years
The years are just flying by, I can’t believe it… on monday, the girl and I celebrated 9 years together, in the best way we know how: sharing a tasty meal. And what better place to have a nice dinner, than a 4-star restaurant in a converted Burger King? Seriously. Rendezvous just opened up in Central Square, in the old Burger King, and it is really really good. The Phoenix loves it. So does the Globe. And we do, too.... - Eat and Destroy
Pay attention, you Boston-area foodies! Todd is starting up Eat and Destroy, a Boston area food/restaurant blog. I can’t wait to try a Mongolian Fire Pot.... - Pressed Sandwiches
Pressed Central Square 736 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139 [map] Rarely am I motivated enough to post about food… after all, it’s something I do every day (that is, eat). But, there is a newish eatery in Central Square called Pressed, which I’ve lunched at a couple of times now, and I felt compelled to offer some observations. Pressed is the kind of sandwich shop that puts all the emphasis on detail… the interior is decorated very modern, with an earthy green glow, black chalkboards with the offerings, and nice light treatments. One odd thing that I noticed is that... - Fat-kins Diet
I’ve been on a high-protein diet for about 6 months, and I’ve dropped about 22 pounds since, and I feel much healthier, etc. Still, this Neurotically Yours flash animation makes me laugh: Fat-kins Diet... - Steak Salad
I watched a bit of FoodTV on Sunday, and suffered through Rachael Ray and her awful accent and mannerisms… I’ve never once wanted to eat anything she cooks, because she annoys me so much. But after Rachael, a delightful woman came on, who I’ve never seen before: Giada De Laurentiis, and she apparently cooks Italian. Sure, she’s hot, but the production values on this show are a little more modern, (think Nigella), with nice lighting and editing. The show was so pleasant to watch, I ended up cooking her Steak Salad for Presley and I last night. I went a... - True
A Club Sandwich without bacon, is not a Club Sandwich.... - Fast Food Nation
Is it wrong to look at mothers in the "mall":http://natickmall.com/ food court, and wonder why they let their kids eat McDonald's and Pizza? (There are limited culinary options near my workplace)... - MiracleSex
Provocative title, especially for this weblog... but, it doesn't have anything remotely to do with what you may be imagining. With "Presley":http://presley.suckahs.org/archives/002648.php busy studying for her final exams, I'm on my own for dinner. What to do? Grab the Powerbook, and head for the "Miracle":http://boston.citysearch.com/profile/4747734/cambridge_ma/miracle_of_science_bar_grill.html?cslink=roundup_name_noncust&ulink=roundup__roundupentity2-4_1__0_profile_5_1, of course. _Free wi-fi. Nice waitress. Beer._ This is all the Modern Urban Male needs. Why the silly entry title, then, you ask? Well, I'm getting to that. I sit down, turn on my Powerbook, and order my Grilled Chicken Salad (with the most delicious lime-cilantro dressing), a pint of Bass. When the waitress leaves,... - Breakfast for Dinner
Everyone is "abuzz":http://presley.suckahs.org/archives/002579.php about Saturday's "Breakfast for Dinner":http://bloodymortyvane.typepad.com/bossanova/2004/11/breakfast_for_d.html, hosted by Jason and Kim. I'm going to be totally fat after this... look at the "menu":http://bloodymortyvane.typepad.com/bossanova/2004/11/breakfast_for_d.html. And if that isn't enough, the "drink menu":http://bloodymortyvane.typepad.com/bossanova/2004/11/breakfast_for_d_1.html will have me falling down drunk pretty quick. Great idea, "Breakfast for Dinner"...... - Goat Cheese-Stuffed Zucchini Pancakes with Tomato Sauce
Earlier this week, I mentioned to my friend Keiko that I wanted to make Zucchini bread, a summer tradition in my family. I suspect the tradition arose from the fact that the only thing that grew well in my father's garden were Zucchinis... everything else usually failed, or was eaten by the neighborhood fauna. The next day, she brought in from _her_ garden a couple of the largest Zucchinis I've ever seen... so large that I started having visions of eating Zucchini bread for the remainder of the summer. Anyway, a day or two passed, (work has been all-consuming), and... - McGriddles
I don't know what possessed me to try the new McDonald's McGriddle breakfast sandwich, but I wish I hadn't. I had no idea that the "griddle" part is basically pancakes with artificial maple syrup, built in. So, a sausage, egg & cheese McGriddle really is like eating a brick of crap- and it sits in your stomach for hours. Here is the break down: Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles™: 7.0 oz (199 g), 550 calories (300 from fat), & 33 grams of fat Holy Jesus!... - The Big Dig
Presley, Tbone, Megger, Chris and I just got back from the Midwest Grill in Inman Square, where we celebrated Presley's 23rd birthday. She really is getting quite old. But, on the way home, we convinced Chris to drive down to South Boston, so we could come up the new I-93 N tunnel-- that's right, the Big Dig is open. Well, partially open. The tunnel is wide and bright, with actual signage that gives you some actual notice about your exit before you drive by it. But the real treat was emerging from the tunnel, and driving onto the Zakim Bridge.... - Damn the Flavia Machine
I'm absolutely addicted to the Flavia machine here. $0.50 a cup, but a cup is like 6 oz. It's Yum. UPDATE: Note to self: Cafeteria closes at 1:30. You will not eat a late lunch, unless Dorito's and Ramen out of a machine count.... - caw caw caaaahhw. chau chow
