You know what goes good with Fried Chicken? Orangina. Meanwhile, Blue Ribbon > Popeyes > NYT > KFC. And if we wanna get the South in here, Blue Ribbon > Bojangles > Popeyes, etc.
@Foster Kamer: I would love to follow up on your recommendations, but I’m pretty sure fried food is banned in Southern California (where I happen to live).
@iplaudius: You little Westsider, you! Eastside LA = home of the bacon donut, Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n Waffles, and those delish Korean/Japanese deep-fried curry donuts. I am getting dewy-eyed just typing this.
@Foster Kamer: I've been living in a Canadian chinatown for too long maybe, but I've grown to love fried chicken with young coconut water. It's delicious and sweet and refreshing and caribbean and everything you love with crunchy chicken.
The logo could've been better. I'm sure a designer could have found a way to turn the NYTimes "T" into a wine glass. Other than that, I don't see what the problem is. Why does Gawker hate wine so much?
FWIW, the Times of London has had a wine club for a decade or more. Sounds more like our Times is playing catch-up. As long as it doesn't affect the news, who cares? They can have regular bake sales, car washes and Keno. Just lose Thomas Friedman and it all works out.
I have to be honest, any review he's written that I have followed up on has resulted in pedestrian, borderline craptastic food. In my latest venture to Barcelona, I looked up Bittman's recommendation for the 'best sandwich in the world' and wound up with some second rate meat stuffed in a crusty baguette. And second rate meat in my crusty baguette days are over.
@BookishLookish: Can you browse cookbooks by musician? I'm asking because the only other entry in the category I can think of is "Are You Lonesome Tonite?" - the Elvis cookbook. And it's really not that great.
@BadUncle: There is a cookbook bookstore downtown, Bonnie Slotnick, where you can find almost anything. And yes, I think I used to own that one and got rid of it. There is another cookbook by his former cook and Uncle Vester that is better. Nancy Crooks or Rooks, I think her name is. Grab it if you find it.
@forgetitjake: But are you itchin' to get into my kitchen is the real question, forge tit/forget it. You still won't tell me which, you slippery darling.
Hey, I thought having chicken pox prevented you from having shingles as an adult, so I guess I actually learned something from that seriously gross ad.
I thought that shingles was the adult version of the pox. Why are parents eager for their kids to get chicken pox then to get it over with as kids? Sadism? Actually, yeah, I can see that.

I think it's by Canned Heat.

Maybe there are other such volumes that would fit that description, but I choose to be in awe of Bittman's achievement anyway.
