    It's like a map to get you to Flavortown! 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I don't mind him too much, but the NY Times review of his Times Square restaurant was unbelievable.  Never read such a scathing review.  If you haven't seen it look it up; it's unreal.  Also, here's a pretty great parody of a Guy Fieri menu...

    I haven't seen the NYT review, but I was there with my family last year and I'm guessing my reviewing would probably have been similar. Service was terrible, food was slightly below average. Again, did I mention the service was terrible, no below terrible.

    Can't stand fieddie. Won't watch his shows and will certainly never set foot in his restaurant - or buy his cookbook.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I was watching an episode of Guy's Big Bite. He pulled out a bottle Liquid Smoke and I shut it off.

    The NYT review actually was a great read.  Got right to the heart of the matter and did it in an incredibly entertaining way -- asking pointed questions to GF about the experience at his new place.  I'm sure the restaurant does gangbuster business in spite of (or maybe partially because of) the review.  Not everyone has the refined taste and sensibilities of those of us who choose to worship at the altar of the egg!

    Here's a link to the review, FWIW:

    It's a 302 thing . . .

    Times Square is one of the worst places in NY for food. There is a Shake Shack close by though...

    Liquid Smoke is a shortcut, sure.  But the claims (which I am not saying you made, just that others have) that it is artificial flavoring and all "chemicals" (gasp!) are baseless.   It is nothing more than smoke collected in a controlled environment through condensing, mixed with more water to make a colloid.

    If you use the dryer vent method for generating cold smoke, you'll end up with a lot of liquid smoke in the vent itself (if it is laying flat).  It's too pungent to consider using, and I think the makers of liquid smoke actually control the condensation process a bit more to limit any bitterness, almost like distillers do.

    I wouldn't use it myself, if I am making barbecue for example.  But if someone wanted a hit of smoke in some recipe, and wasn't able to actually smoke it, they should be more comfortable knowing it isn't a synthetic flavor additive.

    Hmmm ... I've eaten @ his restaurant. Pretty darn good. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
