Hey, but La Liga’s trying to schedule a Barça match in Miami so they can grow the sport!

“I’m sorry, Lauren, but you must have me confused for someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I’m a staff writer.”

East-Coaster here. Did Din Tai Fung in both Taipei and Tokyo. To your point, yeah I’m no longer reflexively anti-chain. Panda is fine for what it is: pretty junky (but pretty tasty) Americanized Chinese food.

What I’m requesting is for people to have a better understanding and perspective of what they’re eating: its…

Tyler Cowen has similar observations, particularly with regards to ethnic-immigrant cuisine. The paradigm for such places isn’t Little Italy or Chinatown in New York, it’s suburbs Silver Spring or south Alexandria in DC where the rent is much cheaper.

I recently visited a friend in Atlanta and was shocked to see how…

One theory is that while she is a careerist GOP wonk, that’s actually made her more susceptible to overcompensate on behalf of Trump. He’s never trusted her because she wasn’t a True Believer and has wanted to fire her several times because she wasn’t Stephen Miller enough.

These pressures alone may be enough for her…

I’ve had a similar journey, but for me the inflection point is having a sense of perspective.

In my twenties I had similar pretensions of being a taste-knower, and to some extent I still do, making sure that I hit up interesting-looking restaurants when I travel for work and fun. As Kevin points out, priorities change:…

At least there’ll be Jello in prison.

I’m sorry (and worried) for your loss.  I think they still carry it in my store, but I haven’t checked for a couple of weeks.

For those dark meat eaters out there:

More chicken = More $4.99 day-old 8x leg quarters.

Not getting one and refusing to renew their licenses because we lived in a city.

Moving 3 suitcases and 4 Rubbermaid tubs of stuff to college while riding on a commuter rail with your father glowering at you because you don’t want to go pre-med is no fun, I tell you.

Should’ve worn the duster, you jabroni.

Second your support of the WH 1000MX2. Doesn’t get rid of all the noise, but it does get rid of the most annoying 80% and I’m anxious to hear what the MX3.

Pair either one with a morning flight after staying up all night and a good neck pillow, and I can sleep through an entire 8-hour flight, no problem.

Let me pose a question: Is the food from this place really that great?

At first I was going to say, “it’s not a big deal” and just pick it up from the door while holding back a % of the tip.

But that’s because I haven’t ordered delivery in a long time and I just realized that...yeah, I’m only doing this because I don’t want to get out of my sweatpants and my 72-degree apartment.

As I’ve mentioned since this thing started, it’s financial model is not sound.

Of course, that’s not the only case of water-based contamination in the greater Detroit area...

I recognized the ostentatious displays of spiny lobsters and ornately carved winter melons, served not just for of its deliciousness, but as a status symbol to prove that they could afford this lavishness. I recognized the 8-year-olds transfixed on their PSP and iPads while the adults eat the spiny lobsters and…

I’d only consider doing to this for airlines that actually offer real service, like all-you-can drink beer on JAL, or ice cream on Singapore or ANA.

If it’s just US carriers, no amount of crappy beef stroganoff and pretzels is worth being near the bathroom.

I’ll take 80% ketchup and 20% hot sauce, thanks.

Not much you can do. I got food poisoning for a week and lost 8lb from an undercooked chicken gyro I got from a Greek restaurant near campus during college. I never really liked the place much, but it was one of the few places near campus that would take our college meal credits as payment.

I shopped with my friends…
