Hot Doug's Gave Me the Worst After-Lunch Food Coma
2009-10-23 14:30:00 Doug himself (Photo: Ian Merritt, http://blog.idmphotography.com)-I've been trying to go to Chicago's famous hot dog restaurant Hot Doug's out on California and Roscoe almost since I moved here two years ago. Hot Doug's usually requires you to wait in line outside, though, and for someone with utterly no patience for food-waiting, it never worked out. Finally, we had a quiet day at work yesterday, so four of my co-workers and I piled into a car and made the drive from the South Loop up to Hot Doug's. Yes, we had to wait in line, but it wasn't too bad (plus it was time spent not working, which is my favorite thing to do besides orgasms). I got myself the...

Cold weather and warm food
2009-10-10 01:03:00 With the colder months looming ahead, many of us seek out comfort food. Warm hearty food, like pasta, soup, and chili, for example.

2009-09-18 20:11:00 A Marijuana plant was spotted growing in a parkway in Rogers Park. This summer I was asked by a neighbor to grow Marijuana plants for her in my garden.

Ten Specific Ways to Cut Your Food Budget
2009-09-10 10:00:00 Since I've started posting about how we're working to save money and live more frugally (i.e. scrape by without a paycheck) I've had quite a few people ask me how I have cut our food budget.Now I hesitate to talk hard numbers--not only does it seem a little low-class, it's hard to make a valid comparison from one area of the country to the next--but I've gone from spending $230-250 per week for a family of six (gasp) to $100 per week. Of course we had to sell two of the children . . .Kidding. But though the prices in your area may vary the principles of cutting back are the same. Maybe these will give you a few ideas of your own. If you have a trick that has worked for you by all means let me know, I'm very open to new ideas right now.1. Get rid of those warehouse memberships. I've written an entire post on the subject of Costco memberships which I will not rehash here except to say that I have found that I spend GOBS less money if I avoid Costco and the like.Yes they have...

Airline Seating Follows Airline Food... Bye Bye!
2009-09-09 03:59:00 Interior designers in the airline industry are clearly charged to create seating designs that work... for the airlines.

Vermont Travel Videos on MSN
2009-08-31 02:32:00 MSN has an online video series hosted by Andrew Zimmern in which he travels around the country recording interesting places to visit, usually focused on food. Zimmern was host of the Travel Channel show, "Bizarre Foods" and now hosts Travel Channel's "Bizarre World" in addition to being a chef, writer, and teacher. Zimmern was recently in my area of Vermont to visit Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Little River Hotglass Studio, and Cold Hollow Cider Mill. He doesn't just visit though - he gets right into production, creating his own Ben & Jerry's flavor in the test room, blowing a glass jar at Little River Hotglass, and making cider doughnuts at Cold Hollow. These Appetite for Life. episodes are a good way to get some behind-the-scenes views of popular attractions in Vermont and elsewhere. (c) 2009 Jeff Connor Grunberg Haus Inn

China Food Safety. Don't Blame Legal.
2009-08-22 10:37:00 Thought provoking post over at TwoFish's Blog, entitled, "Best and the worst – The Sanlu Settlement." The thesis is that China's handling of payments to those injured by the Sanlu dairy food poisonings was handled better than would have been the case had Sanlu been in the United States and been subject to a class action suit. TwoFish makes some valid points, which points are certainly more sophisticated than some commentators who fly over to China for a week and come back proclaiming that if only China allowed tort claims (it does) just like in the United States, all (or at least nearly all) food safety problems would be solved there. TwoFish says China handled Sanlu "quite well" and he challenges those who are "critical" to "explain what the Chinese government could have done better:" As I said above, as far as the actual settlements and consequences, I do think that the Chinese government handled things quite well, and I’d like for people that are critical of the leg...
