			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The past few NYC posts have been rather long, so this time I&#8217;m shortening it! Less photos, more eateries! <img src='http://www.eatshowandtell.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here I am writing short features for different categories of eateries. As these places are ones I&#8217;ve found on-the-go, I had to use my iphone to take pictures, unless I had my camera with me that day.</p>
<p>This post is broken down into 3 features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Food-ist Attractions</li>
<li>Snacks-On-The-Go</li>
<li>Street Food</li>
</ul>
<h2>FOOD-IST ATTRACTIONS</h2>

<p>New York style pizza is world famous, and what better to try some than at NYC&#8217;s first pizzeria, Lombardi&#8217;s. Located in Nolita, we ordered the classic style, &#8220;Margherita&#8221; pizza, a tomato based pizza topped with buffalo mozzerella cheese and basil.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ready for some more NYC eats?</h2>
<p><strong>Happy Belated Independence Day!</strong></p>
<p>Yes I know it was back in July and now it&#8217;s August. Independence Day in the US reminded me of how we spend Australia Day. It started off with a breakfast of homemade margaritas (with my new blender), sitting on the rooftop with my feet burning on the hot roof, beer and rice paper roll lunch then a night of burgers, cheese, wine and fireworks! As you see in the photo above, it feels like NYE in Sydney.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[After watching the Man v Food Minneapolis episode, F could not get the Juicy Lucy burger out of his mind. Not being able to travel to Minneapolis to try the burger, he did the next best thing: plot and plan on how to reconstruct it.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since F discovered the TV show Man v. Food, he&#8217;s been <em>obsessed</em> with it and all the food that host Adam Richman gets to devour such as giant burritos/tacos/burgers/sundaes/sandwiches/pizzas and super chilli chicken wings. He also gets to sample dishes that&#8217;s touted to be &#8220;best of&#8221;.</p>
<p>Naturally, F&#8217;s a drooling mess by the end of the episode and is insanely hungry for something (<em>anything</em>) as satisfying as what Adam&#8217;s just eaten.</p>
<p>In one of the episodes (episode 18 from season 1 to be exact), Adam visits Minneapolis in search of the birth place of the Juicy Lucy burger &#8211; the burger where the cheese is on the <em>inside</em>. There&#8217;s been of a bit of a debate on how to spell the burger&#8217;s name, one restaurant claims “if it&#8217;s spelled right, it&#8217;s done right!” and another: &#8220;if it&#8217;s spelled wrong, you&#8217;re at the right place!&#8221;. </p>
<p>Anyway, after watching the Minneapolis episode, F could not get the Juicy Lucy burger out of his mind. Not being able to travel to Minneapolis to try the burger, he did the next best thing: plot and plan on how to reconstruct it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_5128.jpg"></a> I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but now I’m back.</p>
<p>Since my last blog, besides the monthly Daring Baker’s Challenges, I’ve been quite busy with work, going overseas, spending time with friends before they move overseas, and playing/teaching my puppy new tricks. I purchased Max as a Birthday gift for myself, I know it’s quite strange, but just within the week that I’ve had him, he has filled my days with so much joy and happiness.</p>
<p>He’s just too cute.Please say hi to Max.    </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2766/4492460670_7efaf82846.jpg" alt="" width="489" height="734" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now on to other important things. For my Birthday a couple of weeks ago, Howard purchased me a couple of Kitchen tools, namely a Kitchen Aid and a Food Processor. What better way to make use of my gift then re-ignite my flame for baking. It appears that the hottest name in the food industry right now is David Chang and his <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.momofuku.com');" href="http://www.momofuku.com/">Momofuku</a> restaurant and Cook book. Everything this man touches becomes an instant phenomenon, with nothing more popular at this stage then his “crack pie.” I’ve had the pleasure of sampling a couple of<a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/blog.lemonpi.net');" href="http://blog.lemonpi.net/"> food</a> <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/almostbourdain.blogspot.com');" href="http://almostbourdain.blogspot.com/">blogger’s</a> interpretation of his pie, and both time have been addicted to the rich buttery crust. Upon reading Squishies post on <a href="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/2010/03/30/south-restaurant-neutral-bay/">South Restaurant</a>, I’ve been quite intrigued by the Pecan Pie. To enjoy the best of both worlds, I’ve decided to combine a pecan pie filling with the rolled oats crust.   </p>
<h2>Pecan pie with rolled oats crust</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="IMG_5128" src="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_5128.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="735" /></p>
<h2>Crust Recipe – Adapted from <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/articles.latimes.com');" href="http://articles.latimes.com/2010/feb/11/food/la-fo-crackpierec11-2010feb11">Los Angeles Times</a></h2>
<blockquote><p>The recipe is adequate for making 2 pies. Cookie for crust    </p>
<li>2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (85gm) flour</li>
<li>Scant 1/8 teaspoon baking powder</li>
<li>Scant 1/8 teaspoon baking soda</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter</li>
<li>1/3 cup (71gm) light brown sugar</li>
<li>3 tablespoons (35gm) sugar</li>
<li>1 egg</li>
<li>Scant 1 cup (100gm) rolled oats</li>
<li><em>Spread </em>the mixture onto a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking sheet and bake until golden brown and set, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to the touch on a rack. Crumble the cooled cookie to use in the crust.</li>
<ol>
<li><em>Heat </em>the oven to 375 degrees.</li>
<li><em>In a medium bowl, </em>sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.</li>
<li><em>In the bowl </em>of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy.</li>
<li><em>Whisk </em>the egg into the butter mixture until fully incorporated.</li>
<li><em>With </em>the mixer running, beat in the flour mixture, a little at a time, until fully combined. Stir in the oats until incorporated.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Pie Crust</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pecan-4-2.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="735" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I’m using the crust for a pecan pie, I’ve adjusted the original recipe a little. To the LA times recipe, I’ve added 1 cup of plain flour, and 60gm of butter.  </p>
<ul>
<blockquote>
<li>Crumbled cookie for crust</li>
<li>1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter</li>
<li>1 1/2 tablespoons (21gm) brown sugar</li>
<li>1/8 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>Set the prepared crusts aside while you prepare the filling.</li>
<li>Divide the crust between 2 (10-inch) pie tins. Press the crust into each shell to form a thin, even layer along the bottom and sides of the tins</li>
</blockquote>
</ul>
<ol>
<li><em>Combine</em> the crumbled cookie, butter, brown sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until evenly combined and blended (a little of the mixture clumped between your fingers should hold together).</li>
<li>Divide the crust between 2 (10-inch) pie tins. Press the crust into each shell to form a thin, even layer along the bottom and sides of the tins</li>
<li>Set the prepared crusts aside while you prepare the filling.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Pecan Pie filling</h2>
<p>Adapted from <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/11/pecan-pie/">pioneer woman cooks</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_5067.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="735" /></p>
<ul>
<blockquote>
<li>2 cup White Sugar</li>
<li>4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoons Salt</li>
<li>2 cup Corn Syrup</li>
<li>2/3 cups Melted Butter (salted)</li>
<li>6 whole Eggs Beaten</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoons Vanilla</li>
<li>2 cup (heaping) Chopped Pecans</li>
</blockquote>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Mix sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl.</li>
<li>Pour mixture into the crust</li>
<li>Liberally scatter pecans over the top of the mixtures, cover the top with a piece of foil before baking.</li>
<li>Bake the pies in a 190 degrees celsius pre-heated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes.</li>
<li>Dip a clean knife into the pie to check if it’s ready. Filling on the knife should be thick and caramel like texture. If mixture is still cream like, return to oven and check every 5 minutes interval.</li>
<li>When done, remove and leave to room temperature, serve with freshly whipped cream.</li>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_5124.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="735" /></p>
</ol>
<p>I was very pleased with the result, the gooey rich filling, combined with the toasted pecan nuts and the buttery crust was just perfect. So much so that my mum who absolutely dislikes desserts that are overly sweet has requested that I bake her a couple more for her friends to try. If you’ve never had pecan pie before, I’d recommend that you give this recipe a go, the rolled oats crust just gives it a bit of a decadent twist.       </p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Just before I go, here is another picture of Max who&#8217;s had enough for the day. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Little did I know, my interest of the Southern cuisine started early watching American movies where people would order Pecan Pie or Cobbler from their local diner. Though it wasn&#8217;t until I watched <em>Tropic Thunder</em>, particularly Robert Downy Jr&#8217;s role as Kirk Lazarus (a white <del datetime="2010-04-01T03:14:49+00:00">American</del> Australian <em>[Ed: Thanks Sisiely for picking up that error]</em> actor playing an African American soldier), that cinched the deal to take on the the flavours of the south with his remarks about &#8216;cornbread&#8217; and &#8216;crawfish&#8217;.</p>
<p>But where in Sydney could one find such a place? I&#8217;m not too sure who recommended this restaurant first, but with a quick glance at the online menu, F and I agreed that this should be our next stop.</p>
<p>Upon entering the cosy-sized establishment we are greeted with a large mural of tabasco sauce and immediately I have a southern accent in the back of my head screaming &#8216;Hot Sauce!&#8221;.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t for a while til we decided what to get, despite already perusing the menu online.</p>
<p><em>Edit: I would like to point out, before I go on with my post, that I am pretty chilli intolerant and am pepper-sensitive too; the rest of table has no problems in dealing with the heat.</em></p>

<p>With a such a range of burgers to choose from, I found it difficult to choose the first time we went.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Note : I&#8217;ve been in New York for the past 2 weeks, so you might see a few posts covering my eating adventures!</strong></p>
<p>This afternoon, I decided to do the new york-touristy thing and walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and have my first sample of what&#8217;s been voted in a number of circles as <strong>New York&#8217;s &#8220;best pizza&#8221; at Grimaldi&#8217;s Pizzeria.</strong> A reputation such as this, comes with certain things (i.e. lines, long lines).</p>
<p><a title="Outside waiting by glittaz, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/glittaz/4126778806/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2801/4126778806_5b7c504bf5_b.jpg" alt="Outside waiting" width="491" height="737" /></a></p>
<p>After braving the brisk early autumn weather to cross the bridge, my dining companion and I chose to brave the approximately thirty-minute long line outside for a chance to sample New York&#8217;s best.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Grimaldi's by glittaz, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/glittaz/4126786226/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2688/4126786226_e73a672258_b.jpg" alt="Grimaldi's" width="614" height="410" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Table setting by glittaz, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/glittaz/4126795346/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2686/4126795346_60b84d0018_b.jpg" alt="Table setting" width="492" height="738" /></a></p>
<p>The interior of Grimaldi&#8217;s is quaint and reminiscent of most old-school Italian pizzerias. Plenty of red and white checkered tablecloths and pictures of Old Blue Eyes (Frank Sinatra).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="The interior by glittaz, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/glittaz/4126075325/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2721/4126075325_4748d10f85_b.jpg" alt="The interior" width="614" height="410" /></a></p>
<p>The seating was rather cramped with my friend and I sharing a a long table with a number of other diners. Service at the restaurant was prompt and helpful. The menu options at Grimaldi&#8217;s were small, 16-inch pizza, or a large 18-inch pizza. We went with a large pizza with anchovies and capers on half and sausage, mushrooms and black-cured olives on the other half and&#8230;a couple of Brooklyn pilseners.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Brooklyn pilsner by glittaz, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/glittaz/4126809858/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2702/4126809858_bd0d966c06_b.jpg" alt="Brooklyn pilsner" width="492" height="738" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="The kitchen by glittaz, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/glittaz/4126851558/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2723/4126851558_278fb54a57_b.jpg" alt="The kitchen" width="614" height="410" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The pizza&#8217;s are said to fire in a coal oven that blasts the food at 1000 F. Which is over two times as hot as your conventional oven. Fire makes pizza good, may be considered their philosophy. We&#8217;re kind of going out of my culinary depth here, to be honest, I&#8217;m just speculating. The pizzas are baked in the oven for probably about ten minutes, it&#8217;s hard to say, the sparkling conversation I was sharing with my dining companion made it hard to tell how much time had passed.</p>
<p>The pizzas were brought out to our semi-cramped tables and were placed on a pizza rack that left the pizzas nearly in our faces. We dug into our first slices of pizza, me starting with the sausage/mushroom/cured olive combination and my lovely dining companion digging into her anchovies and capers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Gigantic pizza by glittaz, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/glittaz/4126050961/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2516/4126050961_03f99e48f9_b.jpg" alt="Gigantic pizza" width="614" height="410" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="more pizza by glittaz, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/glittaz/4126060497/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2727/4126060497_f7cae88459_b.jpg" alt="more pizza" width="492" height="730" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">My first reaction to the pizza after the initial bite was &#8220;these olives taste strong.&#8221; I continued to think that halfway through the slice and by the end of my first slice of pizza I was picking off the olives. They are strong black olives with a bit of a bitter taste that permeates throughout the pizza. I don&#8217;t highly recommend ordering the olives on your first visit here unless you really love olives.</p>
<p>Anchovies and capers. Two technically salty ingredients did not overpower the other half of the pizza and we found it to be the better side of the pizza. The experience overall was good. The crust on the pizza was chewy, not crispy and the fresh mozzarella and basil they used on the pizza really made it something to remember. If I had to rate this pizza on my overall experience, I would say it&#8217;s good, but it&#8217;s not worth the wait. If you find yourself in New York City and are crossing the Brooklyn Bridge definitely give Grimaldi&#8217;s pizzeria a shot. Make sure to visit during off hours. Visit early and on weekdays. The reputation for this pizza was too tough for any food to live up to. If you find yourself in the area and you find the line&#8217;s not that long at Grimaldi&#8217;s pizzeria, give it a go, but remember New York has too many great restaurants to be waiting around for a good pizza, not a great pizza.</p>
<p>There are a few stores around the New York state area, but I hear the original one in Brooklyn is the best. Plus, what&#8217;s better than a brisk walk across the Brooklyn bridge then devouring over some warm tasty pizza.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our trip to New Zealand is a first for most of us, Astroboy is actually New Zealand born but defected to Australia many years ago, she immediately becomes our expert in all things NZ (much to her dismay). Having never had a proper opportunity to explore New Zealand we decided the best way to tackle the country would be via epic road trip! Thus we planned our route, 10 days of driving in a loop around South Island with stops in Moraki, Wanaka, Franz Josef Glacier, Lake Brunner, Hamner Springs and finally Christchurch.</p>
<div id="attachment_4166" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-4166" title="Day 2, Moeraki to Wanaka" src="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wanaka.jpg" alt="Day 2, Moeraki to Wanaka" width="300" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Day 2, Moeraki to Wanaka</p></div>
<p>Our eating adventures in Moeraki at Fleurs Place took somewhat longer than expected, by the time we leave its almost 2pm! The decision is made to skip over Queenstown and head straight to Wanaka. Unfortunately our gorgeous weather has ended and things are looking decidedly overcast by the time we roll into town. Wanaka is essentially a ski town and driving around I&#8217;m immediately reminded of Jindabyne as the town is built around the shore of Lake Wanaka.</p>
<div id="attachment_4171" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-4171" title="The Cow" src="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/thecowinterior.jpg" alt="The Cow" width="550" height="585" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Cow. Not sure what the Queen has to do with the Cow but I loved their menu!</p></div>
<p>A little eaten and worn out by the driving we decide to take a local recommendation and keep it simple with Pizza at The Cow. The directions seem simple enough, head down until you see the Post Office and take a right. Somehow we drive past 3 times before spotting a tiny alleyway and the entrance to The Cow. I&#8217;m immediately charmed by the exposed ceilings, the booths tucked along the walls and the sight of the open fireplace and we decide to relax and eat in rather than take away as per our original intentions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The second and final part of my two-part series of our eats in New Zealand&#8217;s beautiful South Island is a burger battle!</p>
<p>In the ring we have the newly found (i.e. we just found it) Red Star Luxury Burgers challenging the old favourite Fergburger for the title of EST&#8217;s Burger Champion of New Zealand.</p>
<p>The opponents are rearing to go, so&#8230; let&#8217;s get ready to ruuuummmble!</p>
<h2>In the Red Corner&#8230;</h2>
<p>Hailing from Wanaka, we have the challenger Red Star Luxury Burgers &#8211; a place that has just come onto our radar this year. I&#8217;m not sure how long it&#8217;s been around, but if it&#8217;s been there for a while I have no idea why we never noticed it before during all the years we&#8217;ve visited!</p>
<p>Our first day in New Zealand&#8217;s lovely South Island consisted of a very early morning wake-up followed by a 3-hour flight and a 6-hour drive. It was late by the time we drove into Wanaka, all bleary-eyed tired and hungry. We were going to settle for cooking instant noodles in the apartment once we checked in (but really didn&#8217;t feel like it) until someone pointed out the burger joint on the opposite side of the road.</p>
<p>Just as we trooped inside, the waitress came out with a couple of the burgers. Our eyes fairly popped out of our heads &#8211; the burgers were humongous! And oh they looked ever so tasty. With heightened expectations, we ordered and were not the least bit disappointed. We were all astounded by the freshness and deliciousness of the burgers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Angus beef hits Macca&#8217;s</h2>
<p>There use to be a time when I didn&#8217;t feel too guilty eating Macca&#8217;s. Life was so much simpler as a kid, when Macca&#8217;s was a treat every few weeks. I use to get really excited when we we went for breakfast or for a meal after Thursday night shopping. There was a time when all the burgers came in styrofoam boxes too, ah those were the days. These days, Macca&#8217;s is more of something which I grab if I&#8217;m in a rush or if I&#8217;m after a snack after a big night out.</p>
<p>In recent years, Macca&#8217;s has come out with a few new burgers. Some have triumphed (McChicken) whilst others have not. This month, Macca&#8217;s introduce a new range using Angus Beef and I am luckily enough to try it before it hits the stores (though they have now started appearing on menus).</p>
<h2>The Grand Angus</h2>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2451/3865023882_f5ef334f1b_b.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="614" /></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 420px"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3510/3865026038_77fffbfbf3_b.jpg" alt="" width="410" height="614" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Grand Angus burger ($6.45)</p></div>
<p>All burgers have 100% Aussie angus beef. In between we have classic Macca&#8217;s cheese, spanish onion, baby salad, tomato, mustard, pickles and mayo. All this is served on soft sourdough bun, in a square like form.</p>
<p>My first impressions of the burger was good, it still had the element of classic &#8216;macca&#8217;s to it. The beef tasted less dry, but still retained the Macca&#8217;s beef taste because of the cheese. Whether this is a good thing or not, is up to individual taste buds but it was a winner for me. I did find the spanish onion a tad overwhelming, but onion breath cannot be avoided when having a good burger.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2628/3865023208_ecd829a67a_b.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="614" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m quite surprised by the size of it too. For $6.45 you get a pretty good sized burger, I might even get away with having one burger instead of the usual two.</p>
<h2>The Mighty Angus</h2>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 420px"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2618/3865025378_74ccb3eefd_b.jpg" alt="" width="410" height="614" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Mighty Angus burger</p></div>
<p>The Mighty Angus burger is deemed a &#8216;blokier&#8217; burger by Daniel Gould, Executive Chef of McDonald&#8217;s test kitchen. Out of the two, it is my favourite by far. Gone are the vegetables and in comes the bacon. This burger is filled with angus beef, two slices of Macca&#8217;s cheese, onion relish (caramalised onions) and spanish onions.</p>
<p>A few bites in and I am quite happy, it tastes like a real burger. It&#8217;s up there with the qtr pounders and the Whopper&#8217;s of the world, but whether it can stick around for as long remains to be seen.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3479/3864244229_244f4447ac_b.jpg" alt="" width="410" height="614" /></p>
<p>For research purposes of course, it&#8217;s a tough life for some.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3540/3865022050_d07a228822_b.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="410" /></p>
<p>There you have it, another new range of burgers from McDonald&#8217;s. Is it just another burger which will come and go or will it embrace the burger loving public ? The prices are creeping up each year, but if the burgers are good then people will be happy to pay for it. Would I buy the new burgers ? I&#8217;d definately go for the Mighty Angus, but it&#8217;s a hard task to move me away from the classic qtr pounder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Merivale Winter Feasts menus offer a fair bit of variety, if you&#8217;re in the mood for Sushi, Teppanyaki or Tapas? You&#8217;re covered for it all! But when my co-workers asked for a recommendation on where to go for lunch my only response was, &#8216;Meat!&#8217; and off to Mad Cow we headed. The Mad Cow restaurant sits on the base floor of the Merivale&#8217;s Ivy complex and bills itself as a &#8216;Fabulously flamboyant New York-style grill&#8217;, and yes they serve up a lot of meat.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 439px"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com.au/lh/photo/PxtSdbPFH0MUSl64-tsi3Q?feat=embedwebsite"><img title="Mad Cow Outside Terrace" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_tZBlLKBSYxc/Sldo4v0DQjI/AAAAAAAAJv8/YHRXLBNjZJY/s800/DSC_0004.jpg" alt="" width="429" height="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mad Cow Outdoors Terrace</p></div>
<p>The decor is very charmingly full of canary yellow and whites almost making me feel as though I&#8217;ve stepped back into the 50&#8242;s. Our booking is for a relatively large group of 8 people and the Mad Cow staff ask if we&#8217;re alright with sitting outside on the terrace. As I&#8217;ve left the booking til fairly late in the week I&#8217;m just relieved they can fit us in. On the day Sydney seems determined to beat Winter, and the sun is shining down on us outside.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Good old fashioned burgers</h2>
<p>I adore burgers and although I know they&#8217;re not good for me, I sometimes have to sate my cravings with McDonalds or Hungry Jack&#8217;s / Burger King (all the other times I can hold out, but just barely).</p>
<p>When a couple of my friends recommended Paul&#8217;s Famous Hamburgers of Sylvania, I was pretty excited, but somehow I never got to actually go. Eventually the stars and planets aligned and I finally ended up visiting Paul&#8217;s, despite the terribly cold and windy night.</p>

<p>With their brazen claim of &#8220;You&#8217;ve tried the rest, now try the best!&#8221;, I have to be honest and say that whenever I see places (or books or anything else for that matter) that claims to be the &#8220;best&#8221;, I get a bit wary but at the same time slightly hopeful.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How fried chicken was meant to be</h2>
<p>On our way down to <a href="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/2009/06/09/eating-through-the-long-weekend/">Kiama</a> for the long weekend, we stopped by Thirroul to check out the &#8216;Princess&#8217; Pashley bike at one of the few stores in New South Wales that stocks that brand. It also happened to be lunch time and afterwards we hungrily prowled the streets for a place to eat.</p>
<p>Well, okay, that&#8217;s not quite true.</p>
<p>We ambled along the road and a couple of stores down from the bike shop, we found ourselves at a pretty big sit-down, take-away corner store called Kings Charcoal Chicken (imagine your average kebab store and multiply that space by 5).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Would you like fries with that?</h2>
<p>In continuing our foodie weekend in Melbourne, and despite being still relatively full from breakfast at <a href="http://www.eatshowandtell.com/2009/05/06/european-melbourne/">European</a>, we lazily headed towards the heart of Melbourne&#8217;s CBD for lunch. </p>
<p>Lord of the Fries, I belatedly found out, is a vegetarian burger joint. It has two burger joints actually: one is a store front with two sides opened towards Flinders St and into Flinders St Station, and the other is a tiny store on the corner of Elizabeth St and Flinders St. It is unmistakeable with its bold white on red sign and the line of people impatiently waiting for their turn. The lack of seating on the Flinders St side (there are several communal benches inside the station) had us finding a shady spot on the steps of Federation Square (off to the side of course to avoid being trampled on). It was kind of fun actually &#8211; kind of like a fast food picnic!</p>
<p>The restaurant boasts of having a lot of yummy sauces to go on your hot chips, as well as two sizes of burger to choose from. Their <a href="http://www.lordofthefries.com.au/">website</a> proudly shows off the dimensions of the burger, but like with everything else, it&#8217;s kind of hard to really grasp how big they actually are until you see it for yourself.</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 345px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/squishies/3384178035/in/set-72157615797245655/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3455/3384178035_58c63ab139.jpg" width="335" height="500"/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Drinks Menu</p></div>
<p>In finding a restaurant to take me to, my cousin found a website that listed White Trash Fast Food as one of the Top 10 restaurants in Berlin. Its quirky name and even more quirkier (and cluttered) website (that announced dates of live acts and movies shown) reeled me in&#8230; okay, I have to confess that it was really the Chinese-style font used that cinched it, piquing my curiosity.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t know what to expect from a restaurant with such a funny name in an ironic font and I was surprised any way with 2 massive gold-coloured Chinese lions flanking its front door:</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 345px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/squishies/3384993806/in/set-72157615797245655/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3585/3384993806_d192078c0a.jpg" width="335" height="500"/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Left-Hand Side Chinese Lion</p></div>
<p>The inside decor was amusing, warm, funky, quirky, dim, and pretty confusing: parts of it looked a traditional Chinese restaurant, but then there was a massive bar, that was clearly European/American, with red and white chequered clothed tables and really non-Asian decorations. It was such a mess and I loved it&#8230; once I got use to it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>American junk food to your doorstep</h2>
<p>When I think of junk food and obesity, the first thing that comes to mind is the Americanism of junk and fast food. Being brought up in the 80’s and 90’s meant being exposed to American sitcoms and dramas and it’s vast use of fast food and junk food as props in many scenes. I’ve always been intrigued by the variety of American junk food, so when a colleague of mine received a box of goodies she ordered from <a href="http://www.usafoods.com.au" target="_blank">USA Foods</a> I was naturally curious as to what lies inside the massive box. I actually told her to hold off from opening everything so I could bring in my camera the next day, how selfish of me ? </p>
<p><a title="DPP_000172" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/95335603@N00/3097980932/"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://static.flickr.com/3118/3097980932_d21da56791.jpg" border="0" alt="DPP_000172" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>USA Foods are a Melbourne based American confectionary specialist. Ordering from their website is easy and delivery is quite quick with a turn around time of only a few days. They could probably do with a re-design of their website as it looks quite out-dated albeit being fully functional and informative. Information is plentiful and I do believe the stock indicators are quite accurate. </p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 343px"><a title="DPP_000174" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/95335603@N00/3097141993/"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://static.flickr.com/3014/3097141993_fc62ee75a9.jpg" border="0" alt="DPP_000174" width="333" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Herr&#39;s Kettle Chips - Jalepeno flavour ($4.99)</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><a title="DPP_000185" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/95335603@N00/3097141921/"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://static.flickr.com/3212/3097141921_f81923d38e.jpg" border="0" alt="DPP_000185" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Specks of jalapeno flavour</p></div>
<p>The first packet I had to open was these Kettle chips. The Kettle chips we have here in Australia were the first &#8216;deli&#8217; style chip I was exposed to as a kid. I remember being addicted to the honey baked ham flavour, however in the last couple of years I have remained loyal to the chilli flavour. I still love the honey baked ham flavour, but it leaves a pungent after smell on my fingers which is annoying. Things got a bit fancy with the tangy herb flavours, but they never got me hooked. I prefer my chips with basic flavours. It&#8217;s either plain, chilli or salt and vinegar for me. I like keeping it old school, just like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Burke" target="_blank">Don Burke </a>and his wooly jumper&#8217;s on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke's_Backyard" target="_blank">Burkes Backyard.</a></p>
<p>On first bite, you can definately taste the jalapeno flavours. It&#8217;s not too spicy, but the flavour is strong and plentiful. It immediately screams &#8220;eat me, or I will burn you regardless&#8221;. Texture wise, it tastes the same as the Kettle chips we can find at any corner store or super market. At $4.99 these are actually pretty good value considering normal Kettle chips are in the $3.xx range these days. Gone are the days of $2 specials for Kettle chips, they are now atleast $2.99. With the introduction of Red Rock chips, they cost even more. These days, the old chip sandwhich isn&#8217;t so cheap after all.</p>
<p><a title="DPP_000176" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/95335603@N00/3097141877/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/3080/3097141877_532032d032.jpg" border="0" alt="DPP_000176" /></a></p>
<p>In contrast to the &#8216;nutritional&#8217; content of our Kettle chips : </p>
<blockquote><p>2250kj / 35g (fat) / 3g (sat fat) / 50g (carbs</p></blockquote>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 343px"><a title="DPP_000173" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/95335603@N00/3097981120/"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://static.flickr.com/3018/3097981120_b7f303fdc9.jpg" border="0" alt="DPP_000173" width="333" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Herr&#39;s Habanero Salsa dippers ($3.95)</p></div>
<p>Texture wise, these were very crunchy. But flavour wise, I was a bit dissapointed to find that they taste almost exactly the same as Dorito&#8217;s. It takes more than a fancy name to impress me, a self confessed and labelled chip connoisseur. Am I being a little unreleastic. Just because they come from USA, doesn&#8217;t mean they need to taste like the best chips ever ? Perhaps we make the best chips in Australia ? </p>
<p><a title="DPP_000175" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/95335603@N00/3097141177/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/3187/3097141177_94cc5dd63a.jpg" border="0" alt="DPP_000175" /></a></p>

<p>This is perhaps the biggest pack of single serve chips I have ever seen. 624.8 grams of carbs, guaranteed to make you go for a 10km jog to ensure you burn it all off. I was very excited upon opening this packet, what better combination than cheese and bacon ? Well, to tell you truth I was rather disappointed. Flavour wise, it tasted great. The cheddar and bacon flavour was very strong, tasted quite nice. But the texture of the chips was a bit ordinary as it tasted a bit like Pringles and I find Pringles to be rather over-rated. I&#8217;m not sure if I would pay $12.99 for these again, not to mention it probably took up the bulk of shipping costs.</p>

<p>These were pretty average and tasted like the lollies I use to get at a 6 year old&#8217;s birthday party.</p>

<p>Everyone loves Hershey&#8217;s chocolate. When you think of Hershey&#8217;s you generally think of cookie&#8217;s and cream. But wait, there&#8217;s more! The miniature&#8217;s bag came with peanut butter, milk and dark chocolate and krackel flavour Hershey&#8217;s. My favourite was probably the peanut butter flavour, followed closely by the original milk chocolate. These minitures are definately very addictive, I could probably finish these easily in no time with a glass of ice cold milk.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><a title="DPP_000177" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/95335603@N00/3097981220/"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://static.flickr.com/3044/3097981220_18a6db8710.jpg" border="0" alt="DPP_000177" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Twizzlers chocolate twists ($5.99 for 340g)</p></div>

<p>These were surprisingly full of flavour and can be quite addictive. It was chewey, but also quite soft at the same time. I love how it says &#8220;naturally and artificially flavoured&#8221;, it&#8217;s a lose-lose situation either way. </p>
<p>USA Foods allows you to feel like a kid in a Chicago apartment watching re-runs of The Simpsons after school. Their snack catalogue is huge, perhaps I&#8217;ll try my own order next time and try their peanut butter and jelly.
