Perfect Vidallia Onion Sandwich
I like mine with the onion thinly sliced on potato bread with mayo, s&p, a little hot sauce and maybe some fresh basil or parsley if you have it in the house.
NYC to BOS Roadtrip TOP TEN
Agreed, Sam's meat pies are a must if in Fall River. I'd also recommend picking up an Italian grinder from Marzilli's Bakery. You can then hop right onto Route 24 North to Boston.

Not sure what route you are taking, but I'd definitely recommend stopping in Fall River, MA for some great portuguese food.
Pork Shoulder Question. Crisp the skin at the beginning or end?
I'm slow roasting a pork shoulder tomorrow and am trying to get the crispiest skin possible. I've read many recipes and was wondering whether I should crisp the skin at a high temperature in the beginning or at the end of the cooking process. Thanks!
Looking for lunch near Penn Station
I definitely recommend Go Go Curry. Also, the Little Morroco street cart is pretty close on 39th and 7th.

taco lady at the Mexican Embassy
If you don't mind walking a little bit, the best tacos you'll find are at the El Rey Del Sabor Carts. The closest ones to you are on 49th & Park, and 43rd & 6th.

How far in advance for an 8pm Friday reservation at Lugers?
My 30th birthday is coming up in three weeks and I was wondering how far in advance I should make my reservations. I'm looking for 8pm on a Friday, do you think I'm outta luck?
Salsa Verde Question
I have been researching numerous salsa verde recipes, and I'm trying to figure out which is the best method of preparing the tomatillos. Most recipes I looked at call for boiling the tomatillos, others call for charring them under a broiler or on the stovetop. A few blend everything raw and then heat in a pan. What is your preferred method and why? Thanks!
Doyers Vietnamese Closed?
Ahh! I just called and the number is out of service. I was just there a few weeks ago and they seemed to be doing pretty good business.
Alphonso Mangoes 2010?
I haven't seen any yet. If I remember correctly, they usually don't show up until around May or so.
Bitters Anyone?
You can find a large selection of bitters at Kalustyan's on Lexington btwn 28th and 29th.
Pork Belly for Tacos
I'm planning on making some pork belly tacos this weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions for preparing the pork belly? Thanks!

Anyone tried Cer Te's Peking-Duckish Midtown Sandwich Winner?
Haven't tried it yet, but it did sell out by 1pm yesterday.
How un-healthy is Falafel?
If done correctly, the frying will add little fat to the falafel. The tahini does have a high fat content, however, it is very low in saturated fat. Additionally, chickpeas contain high levels of cholesterol lowering soluble fiber. So all in all, I'd say a falafel sandwich with vegetables is a pretty healthy option.
Chinese Restaurants with Free Wine?
As in, you get what you're paying for? Well, obviously.

Papaya King or Gray's Papaya...
Hotdoglover, I've read in some places that Gray's papaya was opened by a former owner of Papaya King. Other places I've read state there is no affiliation. Would you be so kind as to clear this up for us?
