    my go-to meal when i feel the tickle of a cold coming on.

    Added it on to the list of places to try next. Looks like they have a sister restaurant in Berkeley too!

    my go-to meal when i feel the tickle of a cold coming on.

    I miss living next to a great SoonDooBu joint soooo much. After moving out of NY/NJ area, we haven't found any that were even half as good as So Kong Dong in Fort Lee. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out. Though honestly, there are a LOT of great options in Fort Lee...

    Toddler Kitchen Time

    That's a nice one! I'll look out for that one when the time comes. Or, I could scare the piss out of the spouse by supposedly getting it for the not-quite-two year old toddler at xmas... Probably not though. Better just to keep the idea in the back pocket for when he gets older.

    Toddler Kitchen Time

    Brilliant ideas both for now and for later! Thanks all! And best of all, Thanksgiving is coming soon! Which means we can try some of the activities that sound delightfully fun but devilishly messy while we're down at Grandma and Grandpas!

    Toddler Kitchen Time

    I know this is off topic, but at what point does a rice-cooker become useful? I make rice two or three times a week, long grain and short grain (just made avocado rolls for the family tonight, in fact), and as long as I know the rice I'm working with, I've never really had a problem cooking it...

    Toddler Kitchen Time

    Somewhere along the way I must have stumbled into some sort of weird spatial anomaly or temporal vortex because our son who I would SWEAR was just born last week is turning two pretty soon. Since I spend time in the kitchen, he has always been interested in getting in there, and I let him in...

    Recommendations for Knife Storage/Rack makers

    Oh, that does look nice. The leather is a nice touch. I'll keep an eye out at his US retailers.

    Recommendations for Knife Storage/Rack makers

    I find myself in need of a knife storage solution :( Sadly my old Boardsmith Knife block doesn't really fit well anywhere (since it's a friggin' enormous 22 knife 4 cleaver behemoth) and the kitchen doesn't really have any place to hang a couple magnetic racks. I've seen some standing magnetic...

    Current source of Sakai yusuke thin (I think?)

    So, the Tosa is... fine? It's not one I'd recommend unless someone had a super strict budget. The finish is pretty "meh" it's not super super thin, and the grind isn't the best. Haven't sharpened or tried to make it better, though... The profile isn't bad and with some work it might be okay...

    what are you drinking tonight?

    The bourbon craze has got to peter out one of these days, right? And usher in a return to $65 for a top flight bourbon? Right? Please dear Lord?

    Konosuke Fujiyama White #2 Honyaki Gyuto

    Sucks dude. Like you say, I can't fault the owner, though. But I really feel bad for you, man. Especially after reading your AMAZING writeup on Kono's over time... If anyone deserves to get ahold of one of these bad boys, it's you my man.

    Eating healthier

    Went through the same transition a long time ago OP and while living that way dropped a ton of weight and gained a ton of energy and confidence. This forum helped enormously, as did hooking up with a local group of non-judgmental gym goers. Our In the Kitchen section, while not as active as it...

    My first knife suggestion thread - Santoku version

    Hello OP! TF Nashiji's can be great. As others have mentioned, they can have fit and finish issues. I don't roll the dice on them new online and would only consider buying one if I could see it, or trusted the seller to select a nice one for me. When the people here mention that you may not...
