Good to know that's you're allergic to avocado. Can't bring you an experimental food if it has that in it. Good to know!

This is a first for me on this site so far… a bad review. Not just a normal bad review, but a horrible one. This one actually has me preparing to go back there and speak to their management and could perhaps involve law enforcement. We’ll just say I won’t be back.

@Alisha - Seems to be a location thing based on what I've heard.

UPDATE - Looks to have been a weird error where they put someone else's tip on my bill. Very strange... very poor tipping system. :-/

Food Geekery After a trying a new restaurant tonight and realizing it wasn't that good, I have coined a new phrase: "Full of Regret" I'm officially using now using this to describe becoming full after tasting many sub-par foodstuffs. Feel free to borrow.

Last weekend I was going through all the things I had leftover from the Farmer’s Market and I found a Ghost Chile (Naga Jolokia) pepper in my fridge...

@Michelle - I remember that episode and I believe it is a type of Habanero or Bird's Eye. The guy I bought the Bhuts from was selling those, too. I had one and it was quite spicy, but not the spiciest.

@Emily - I still got a ton leftover, so of course! Should I bring any for anyone else to try?

Food Geekery I recently fell in love with "toasted" corn (Corn Nuts, Inka Corn Nuggets, etc) and decided I'd try to make it myself using a bunch of this Indian corn I have laying around. Have any of you made this snackfood yourselves? Am I just crazy?

Food Geekery Om nom nom... this was an amazingly great burger joint! I hope as their franchise spreads it doesn't lose any of the quality!

A little over a month ago, Jess and I were driving over to Jason’s Deli to grab a quick bite to eat and we noticed a new restaurant opening almost next door. It was called “Smashburger” and I had never heard of it. A little research and it turns out this may be the next great burger shop. Read along...

Is this next to the 70th and Dodge Jason's or a different one? Or is that the only one in town?

I'm definitely intrigued, sounds amazing.

Food Geekery Do you like Hominy? Have you ever wondered what it took to make it? Wonder no longer as I decided to painfully go through the steps to transform Indian corn into hominy!

Source: www.foodgeekery.com
This past week I had an idea. I ended up with a ton of Indian corn from the Farmer’s Market and I thought I’d make hominy out of it. Nice, right? Let’s just say I have a whole new respect for this stuff and will walk you through all of what it takes to make it, no matter how long it takes!

Where do you get purple carrots and how do they taste?

They taste like normal carrots and are a bit healthier due to the Anthocyanins that make it purple. As far as where to get 'em... I just picked up the seeds at a store and planted 'em. At the Farmer's Market I saw White, Yellow, Orange and Purple carrots.

This week I went to my first ever Slow Foods gathering and left as part of the new governing board. I’d really like to say that it is due to my skills, but I think most of it had to do with this dish that I brought to the potluck dinner.

Give this a try! Everyone seemed to really love it. Next will be its partner (which also had pumpkin).

Food Geekery Snow is in the forecast tomorrow night. How sad. Tonight I'll be harvesting the last of the things from my garden and tomorrow I'll be going to the last Farmer's Market of the season. What are you doing to "celebrate" the coming of winter?

Food Geekery A giant bowl of Indian Corn. I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing with it yet... perhaps hominy.
