Looking for cuy in SF Bay Area
Cuy probably aren't the same as the domestic guinea pigs you buy at Petsmart. But people in South America do sometimes raise them in the corner of their kitchens.

I'm going to be in Pasadena this weekend, down from San Francisco, and would like some tips on which cool restaurants I should go to
Thanks
Great milk chocolate?
After eating so much "healthy" dark chocolate, I can barely stomach most milk chocolate because it's just too sweet

Can chocolate ecstasy be considered a cost?
There's a philosophical question here, perhaps tied to the news about Italian researchers how think that they've found a cure for chocoholicism....
as if this could really be considered an actual problem.

Yes, this year it's 1 day instead of two. Tickets have always been good for one day only, so from a price perspective there's no difference, and there's actually a few more chocolatiers this year.

Emeril Canceled
Frankly, I kept wishing he would go back to saying "Bam!"
(really, I liked it)
"Food Entertainment Network" - Enough Already
One problem they had was that they have been stuck with a very mainstream audience demographic, and that's the core target for their advertisers, so they can't get away from that audience too far without getting too far away from their bread and butter.
It's a trap they're in, and that's part of what's happening. They also just split off the newspaper part of their organization so they can completely focus on video (which might mean their site is going to be changing), plus they just bought some huge online recipe site. Obviously they're putting some money into it, but everyone on this thread is right on the money too!
FN still has some good talent, but it's almost like they should turn the network programming over to Anthony Bourdain.
Never say never. Emeril is on the wane, and maybe one of these kooky new shows might make it...
Batali got the boot (from FN)
Maria and Emeril? Looks like there's a real shakeup at the FN
