    Originally from the area, but whenever I drive up from NYC and want to take family out for dinner, there are like one or two decent restaurants in the whole area. And when you quiz locals about good places to eat, they get that whole "upstate/downstate" argument, as in "Why don't you go back to where you came from." So I do.

    Hmm... someone else is on Felix Salmon's frequency today too.

    First he tweets of Albany, then he tweets of psycho restaurateur:

    I happen to think the quality of the movies in the last 15 years pose more of a health risk than the popcorn itself.

    It's not the popcorn we should be worried about. It's the copious amounts of other snack food items that have infiltrated the theater experience and our olfactory senses while watching Sandra Bullock movies…like nachos, hot dogs, pizza, cheesesteaks (So totally not kidding!), chicken fingers, and all kinds of jalapeno, pretzel bite, bites. Good God, it's a veritable smorgasbord, smorgasbord , in the damn place now. Smells like a Manhattan morning on trash day, and you practically need a Weight Watchers meeting and a gastric emptying study just to get through the door!

    Forget popcorn, just bring raisins and milk duds in a little baggie like my grammy used to…save some money and your arteries. Servicey!

    @Spirit Fingers: Seriously.

    Also though - the Times article is bs. It says one theatre "got points for" switching to canola oil. REAL coconut oil is a monounsaturated oil rich in medium-chain fatty acids and is actually healthier than canola oil. It's very good for your skin, nerves and brain.

    @Spirit Fingers: I have carried many a lumpy backpack into the movies. I bring my own oiless, saltless microwaved popcorn lightly flavored with Redmond ancient sea salt and melted ghee. Weeee. (points off for the nuking though).

    Clearly I'm not the only one who's virtually wetting my pants with excitement to see the film adaptation of The Road.

    I got a pumpkin. I got a big-ass, who's-yer-Daddy kind of pumpkin, right here in my house.

    I would consider letting it go for the right offer.

    Eggos? Real America runs on cereal. Delicious, delicious breakfast cereal.

    I can do without Eggos. If General Mills goes out of business, however, we're gonna have problems!

    Bah. Eggo waffles taste like syrup covered sink sponges. Who can ever get the damn things cooked right? Either they're burnt to a tree bark consistency or they're half frozen in the middle. And no matter how much syrup you slather on 'em after two minutes you might as well eat a sugary flip-flop. I'm not registering the alarm here.

    However, if IHOP could no longer operate and serve to the masses demonic fried cake, rolled in sugar, jellied fruit, and stuffed with everything from cream cheese and cinnamon, to cured meats and possibly shellfish given the promotion of the week, most of middle America would just up and walk into the ocean.

    Also, pumpkin. ew. No true Southerner would dare use pumpkin when there is so obviously sweet potato available. You Yankees with your high-falutin food stuffs.

    That pumpkin looks like another hoax from Colorado. Does it fly?
