• Fortune Cookie Sayings: Our Top 10 Messages (Slashfood)

  Feb 19th 2010 12:58PM The eeriest one I've ever gotten said: "You think that it is a secret but it never has been." I still have it, I don't know how many years later.

• 'Top Chef Vegas' - A Winner Only a Mother Could Love (Slashfood)

  Dec 11th 2009 10:26AM Go Michael! It's your birthday!
  
  It was clear from the start of the series a Voltaggio brother would win - I'm just glad they chose the right one.

• What Can I Get You Folks? - Free Refills (Slashfood)

  Jul 8th 2009 12:16AM Getting multiple glasses of soda isn't WORK. Digging multiple ditches is WORK.
  
  I mean, I know your job probably has all sorts of minor annoyances, as does mine, but I think some perspective would be helpful. People who badger waitstaff for refills are jerks - people who ask politely are not. It's really the CUSTOMER you loathe, not the free refill policy.

• Restaurant Music Volume - Ambience with a Side of Hearing Loss (Slashfood)

  May 16th 2009 9:06AM Music blaring at club volume levels in retail stores is quite possibly my #1 pet peeve. I have walked out of stores simply due to noise many times. Restaurants fall under the retail category in my book.
  
  Anyway, I get irritated almost to the point of anger when I'm greeted by blaring music while shopping/eating and it seems to be getting more and more common. Don't get me wrong - I actually love music and appreciate it loud - at HOME, in the CAR, and various other appropriate situations.

• French Press Tips from the CoffeeMeister (Slashfood)

  May 16th 2009 8:58AM All this time I've been buying pre-ground Chock Full O'Nuts coffee in a can and brewing it in a drip machine...and all this time, it's been awesome. Huh.
  
  I use my Bodum to cold brew iced coffee in the summer. It's a vast improvement on the jar method.

• Pom Iced Coffee Considered (Slashfood)

  May 4th 2009 5:49PM This is a ridiculous waste of money - whether it tastes good or not. Just cold brew a few jars of your own and keep them on hand in the fridge. Add water if you like, or not, and drink it over ice.
  
  After trying this method, I will never drink cooled
  'hot' coffee again.

• Flashback to the Seventies: Instant Sweet and Sour Meatballs (Slashfood)

  Mar 21st 2009 6:36PM Pineapple jelly and chili sauce is the best. You can even add some canned pineapple chunks with the meatballs if you feel like getting crazy.

• Cafe Bustelo - An Experiment in Super-Cheap Coffee (Slashfood)

  Mar 2nd 2009 1:25PM I second the vote for Chock Full o' Nuts as the best pre-ground coffee I've tasted. I buy it all the time - and lucky for me, the grocery a block from my house sells it for $2.99 a can.

  Feb 17th 2009 8:55PM The thought of a mayo cream filling makes me gag.
