The illegal hot dogs of Los Angeles
It's late, you're drunk, you want something to eat, and then you get that savory whiff of a hot dog grill.
A classic Los Angeles (via Mexico City) street food is the bacon-wrapped hot dog. But like many good things, these delicacies are illegal.
Daniel Hernadez investigates the murky relationship between authorities, licensed-vendors, and hot dog pirates. It's late, you're drunk, you want something to eat, and then you get that savory whiff of a hot dog grill. ... more -

Staying Hot in the Hub
It's getting chilly out, so what better way to warm up than to sip on some hot cocoa? Here is a list of the 10 best places to go for hot chocolate in Boston. My favorite on the list? L.A. Burdick Chocolate Shop & Café in Harvard Square, where "customers can choose from dark, milk, or ivory chocolate. The trick is the real ground chocolate mixed in with the cocoa powder and milk."

Beer and Pretzels- a great combination
Beer & Pretzel Chocolate Stout Cake with toasted almonds- only at Great Bay in Hotel Commonwealth
"The seafood island is an extra attraction, with its stools and easy access to the chefs preparing your food, it's a fun spot. The island menu offers a selection of delectable looking appetizers and entrées that absolutely suit today's diners with their grazing rather than dining approach to good food. You can ask for almost anything in sample sizes (which is not that common elsewhere). This really ups the ante on the "small plate" fad that is sweeping Boston at the moment."

UBurger = Uber Burger = Delicious
So it's no In-N-Out, and it's definitely not healthy, but eating at UBurger is one of my weaknesses. The "special sauce" really is something special, and the fries aren't too greasy. It's definitely a once-in-awhile place, or I would have a serious health issue, but it's too hard to resist!

Boston Restaurants are Everywhere! (Even in Florida..)
Boston's on the Beach
"The seaside eatery, known for its New England-style menu and walls covered in Rex Sox memorabilia, was packed with Red Sox fans Wednesday night all eager to watch and cheer for their team facing the Colorado Rockies. By the time the second inning was under way, the place was packed a sea of red, navy and white Rex Sox shirts and hats. Some flew in from Boston, while others drove from as far as Broward County and Port St. Lucie to watch the game." Boston's on the Beach ... more -

Homemade Bread: Cheap, Delicious, Healthy, and Easier Than You Think
The Simple Dollar weblog details the process and financial, health and taste benefits of baking your own bread from scratch.
What I've found is that many people are simply intimidated by the seemingly complex and work-intensive process of making bread. It seems difficult and loaded with steps and significant work. In fact, bread is quite easy to make at home, and you only need a few staple ingredients to make a simple loaf.
The post points out that not only can making your own bread be quick and simple, but it's also likely to be considerably more healthy and tasty than your traditional store-bought industrial bread. If you're an old hand at homemade bread, let's hear your thoughts in the comments.

Fire + Ice
People either love it or hate it, but I love it! Fire + Ice is delicious, and you can never get bored of the menu. Mix and match chicken, steak, vegetables, pasta, tofu...and all the sauces!!

Giacomo's Restaurant: Italian!
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Settled in on Hanover Street in the North End, Giacomo's is a little cozy restaurant that does not accept reservations, but the food is worth it! Quite possibly the best Caesar salad I've ever had, not to mention the Chicken Parmigiana...
There is no website, but Citysearch has a link to the menu.
