Re: “Mitchell Delicatessen Moving to Bigger Space Down the Street”
As always, target restaurant opening dates are approximate, but Mitchell says he hopes to be open the new space by October.
Re: “Tickets on Sale This Friday for Alton Brown's 'Edible Inevitable' Tour”
Really excited about this. Good Eats is my go-to for anything I cook.

Bring back the karaoke place?

Sprecher's, mmmm. Their blueberry soda is *amazing.*
Re: “They May Call It a Fast, But That Doesn't Mean It Goes By Quickly: The Juice Nashville”
So wait wait wait. You're telling me that if I eat only fruits and veggies, and cut my calories in half...I'll get a lot of the non-caloric nutrition I need....and the best part is that instead of getting the food for cheap at a grocery store, I get to spend hundreds of dollars that could have fed starving children that have no food at all. Awesome. Pure snake oily genius.
By the way...can anyone actually describe a "micronutrient". Are we talking vitamins, minerals...or pixie dust?
Re: “The Weekly Open Thread Asks, 'What's Your Favorite Lowbrow Indulgence?'”
Cheetos. Just cheetos. And Cheetos forever. I get to eat them once a year, or when I'm on a bike trip.

Kenji is a good dude. I remember when he started out at Ichiban.
Re: “The Weekly Open Thread Asks, 'What's Your Favorite Lowbrow Indulgence?'”
Right now (5:02am as this post begins) I happen to be eating a plate full of fried-up Mary Kitchen corned beef hash + 3 eggs with heavily buttered pumpernickel toast. Cheese on half the eggs, half the hash. One slice of toast submerged. (Not a regular go-to, maybe the 5th time I've done it [as good or better with the roast beef hash], but surely a guilty one.) Just ran across this thread as I started eating!
More regular items?
When I make cheeseburgers, over half the time I use a nice mature cheddar, but often I get a block of Velveeta to make a childhood event out of it. Garlic salt on top of the cheese when you put it on gives it an extra-special zap. Like Mom did when I was little.
Grilled cheese, usually thick block Velveeta. Under the broiler. Awesome technique, same source.
Fish sticks forever. With ketchup (Heinz).
Still pop open a can of Chef Boy-Ar-Dee once or twice a year. Had one last week.

Nachos BellGrande for sure & probably everything else at Taco Bell.
Re: “Where Did the Faucon Salad Go?”
J. Alexander's, Belle Meade Country Club and Jimmy Kelly's don't serve REAL Foucon Dressing; I know because I've tried them, and I have the ORIGINAL recipe given to my uncle (who at the time lived in South Caroline but grew up here) by his friend Xavier Foucon!
Re: “Thistle Stop Café Opens on Charlotte Pike”
Did I understand this correctly? Refrigerated, pre-made sandwiches?!
Re: “It's On! You Are So Nashville If ... Contest Page Is Live”
If the cast of Nashville should take country speaking lessons before being on the show.
Re: “Ken's Sushi Moving to East Nashville”
Yay! My very favorite restaurant in Nashville is moving 33% closer to me!
I have eaten at Ken's _a lot_ and never had a bad food item.

Holden-Bache, ha ha, get it? Holdin' back? Anyone?
Re: “The Weekly Open Thread Asks, 'What's Your Favorite Lowbrow Indulgence?'”
Little Debbie Zebra Cakes. So plastic-y delicious!
Re: “The Weekly Open Thread Asks, 'What's Your Favorite Lowbrow Indulgence?'”
Hmm, where to start? Velveeta Shells & Cheese? Milky Way Dark? Fritos, Cheetos, Cool Ranch Doritos? (was that a haiku?) Once I was fiending so powerfully for s'mores that I smeared marshmallow fluff on a plate and blackened the top with my creme brulee torch. And then ate it with a spoon.
I went to a party at a neighbor's house as a kid where one of the snacks was melted margarine, mixed with maple syrup (let's be real, knockoff Log Cabin at best), and we dipped triangles of white bread into it.
Re: “Catbird Seat Chef Josh Habiger Gets Kicked Upstairs; Erik Anderson Stays in His Perch”
Fixing what SURELY ain't broke! I'm getting too old for change.
Re: “The Weekly Open Thread Asks, 'What's Your Favorite Lowbrow Indulgence?'”
Single serving tapioca cups.
As of late I find myself picking up a couple Tastykakes Coconut Juniors every time I'm at Kroger.
Re: “The Weekly Open Thread Asks, 'What's Your Favorite Lowbrow Indulgence?'”
I can't believe I'm admitting it in public, but I have developed a taste for Spam. And it's not a childhood thing - I was grossed out by Spam as a child. Curiosity got the better of me a few months ago and I bought some and tried it. I was pleasantly surprised! Fry up a couple slices with some eggs and tell me that's not good eatin!

Jeyne Westerling should be in no mood for karaoke just two days after the Red Wedding...
