From A Hamburger Today Editor's Note: A few weeks ago, J. G. Wallace, a former food-service professional, avid cook, devout foodie, and newspaper food writer, contacted AHT about Powers Hamburgers in Fort Wayne, Indiana. "Powers is an often overlooked player on the slider scene," he wrote. "They come very close to Hackensack's White Manna, and I am qualified to say that since I grew up in Bergen County, New Jersey. My wife is from Fort ...

From Serious Eats So often, the key to the perfect meal is simplicity. On Nantucket Island, the Straight Wharf Fish Store is a local's one-stop shop for all things aquatic: lobsters, scallops, and cod just out of the waters outside. Resident fishmaster Walter (with a Red Sox cap on and a matching accent) supplies the freshest of the day’s catch to professional and amateur chefs alike. But he doesn’t just sell by the pound—he’ll fry ...

From Serious Eats There are probably a lot of birthdays this week, but NPR reminds us that instant ramen is among them. Fifty years ago, the first instant ramen package was sold in Japan, an idea created by Nissin Foods founder Momofuku Ando. Then 48 years old, he went on to invent Cup of Noodles at age 61. Not just a man of curly noodles, Ando was also a man of eloquence before he died ...

Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why not import the idea here? It's just crazy enough to work. So behold: The latest edition of Deadspin's Waxing ...

From A Hamburger Today Or, 'Will Walk for Food' NBC 25 in Hagerstown, Maryland, has a great story about a guy who's really serious about his cheeseburgers. Justin Clarambeau of Washington County, Maryland, listened as his coworker hyped the cheeseburger at the Battleview Market in Sharpsburg, Maryland. It sounded pretty darn good to him, but there was one problem. Dude doesn't drive. He calls the restaurant, asks them to deliver. They won't. But they struck ...

Cafe owner and barista ChelleyD01 gave this informative reply: A good barista knows their customers drinks when they walk through the door.
