      nyc is not a burrito/taqueria town, but after going to dos toros on 13th and 4th, i'm think we might have something good here finally..

      it's still doesn't taste like SF or LA but it's good enough..

        Always meant to check out that place, but every time I pass by there is a line. I like Boca Chica - excellent latin american food all around.

              Does anyone make their own ice-cream? I am thinking to buy an ice-cream maker - I think my daughter would get a kick out of making our own ice-cream.
              My cousins shared an ice cream recipe with etsy, if you're interested Faust.

                A cool way to make ice cream at home is to cut some bananas into chunks, freeze them for like 2 hours, throw them in the blender with some honey and after clumping up for a while it will become really rich and creamy.

                Reasonably healthy too.

                  ^what could possibly be unhealthy about bananas and honey?

                  sounds like a good idea to me...

                            /\ You are European, it's standard practice to pay high prices for good food. Americans are used to paying low prices for bad food, so it's a cultural change worthy of NYT article, apparently.

                              Seems to me that a company like Grom is charging for their frozen international shipping, and the companies sourcing locally (or at the very least domestically) are going to have much better profits. I mean, international small-production ultra-gourmet means no economy of scale + incredible shipping costs.

                              Odd to me that they compared the cost of raw ingredients with the cost of processed food. I mean, if I compare the cost of packaged crackers to the ingredients in them, the disparity is even more stark than what they're describing here.

                              Note that I have no comprehension of how money actually works.

                                I agree with Avanster that from watching Iron chef

                                Chef Chen is expert for chinese food.

                                Chef Sakai is expert for europe food.
