Sitting a my desk at home. Bronx, NY. Overlooking the Hudson River Ship Canal and Inwood/Manhattan. I can see trains every so often too.

Foie gras is the tastiest (is that a word?) thing that I've eaten, next to really good oysters. I so want to try Kobe beef steak.
- Alan Le
There should just be one item in this list: 1) Go eat at The French Laundry.
- Scott Koon
from twhirl
If you're gonna spend that much, Per Se in Manhattan ftw. French Laundry = not worth it, imho.
- Mona Nomura
Yah, either way Mona. Maybe it should be "Have Thomas Keller cook for you"
- Scott Koon
from twhirl
I've had alligator. Is that close enough to crocodile?
- Morton Fox
Only had 19 and probably won't grow much. I have texture issues, lol
- ::Kristen::
I heard Thomas Keller never stands in the kitchen anymore :( But for Napa, Ad Hoc is more reasonable AND it's soul food. YEAH! :)
- Mona Nomura
ashamed to say that I don't know who's thomas keller is. Wikipedia to the rescue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... . Didn't know that he and his brother started Buchon. I had the foie gras there a few years back.
- Alan Le
Alan, if you ever need food / restaurant recs, let me know. Though I'm quite picky and refuse to dine at places where the value : quality ratio is off. ie: Just because a place hits a 'list', it doesn't mean it's worth it. SF is infamous for places like that. Over priced and Over rated.
- Mona Nomura
good to know. So what's a good steak place in the city (SF) that's not overpriced?
- Alan Le
There are people who haven't eaten Pho? Oh right - I live in Vancouver. Also? There's no way on God's Green Earth that I'm going to eat blood sausage *or* calamari. Or foie gras.
- cecily
In SF? LOL No where... :( -- but then again, I only like Rib Eye (medium rare). If you're a Prime Rib fan, I might now a few places. :)
- Mona Nomura
Who do I gotta kill to get a reservation at Per Se?
- Karim
I think that people that eat steak medium or welldone are missing out. no good steakhouses in 'frisco? aw shucks. what's your fav local restaurant then (any type)?
- Alan Le
People pay top $$$ for 'good' steak and when it's charred, the flavor is destroyed :\. Even worse, is the crime of drowning expensive steak with A-1 :\ x 8397242983! My fav. local restaurant = Koo. (sushi) :) http://flickr.com/search...
- Mona Nomura
I've had 42. More if I can count beignets, elephant ears, and funnel cakes separately. :)
- ha3rvey (doesn't dance)
Wow, Kaolin and Fugu are the only two on the list I have not had. A couple were minor variations to the descriptions, but close enough to count.
- jcunwired
I've had about 27 thanks in large part to living in Hong Kong which accounted for the majority of my list, save for the roadkill venison (does that count double?)
- Andrew Leyden
I've had all but about 13 and couple others are close enough to probably count or I'm not sure about.
- Charles
I've had 51, which I think is a lot for someone who isn't adventurous and used to be very picky. Wondering why isn't salmon sashimi on the list..
- Hannah
Sean, I can't eat calamari because -- and I'm not kidding -- I don't like the way the word squid sounds. I can call it calamari, but I know it's *squid*, and thus I'm not eating it.
- cecily
I have the very good fortune of already being your friend on Facebook... My wife asked who you were and I just replied 'Bacon' (then the long and slow process of explaining FF to her began).
- Johnny Worthington
The WORST is that's what's on my Alltop profile, Majento! wow LOL John: HAHA!!! That made me laugh out loud
- Mona Nomura
Jordan, are we already FB friends? For some reason that link jumps to my home screen =|
- Mona Nomura
Not that I've been using either one much (identi.ca fan, mostly), but http://twitter.com/_drb gets you my eminent twittery goodness. Can't say I've really got enough going on on Facebook worth mentioning, but I'll drop you a line when (if) I get interested enough to get it up and running.
- Derrick Burns
Mona, I don't think so, but I might just be bad at links. I'll see if I can add you :-) Edit: Incoming invite!
- Jordan Hofker
Awesome, we're now connected all across the board. Facebook IS good for something! :) Derrick: I'm on identi.ca, too!
- Mona Nomura
OMG!! I can't believe it. I would totally have missed this if it weren't for you posting. I love Beck! I always try to keep my eyes open for concerts from my favs but I often miss stuff cause I'm not paying attention. Thank you Thank you Thank you
- Hannah
Not exactly what you asked, but as a child I refused to even taste anything with Parmesan cheese
- Didi Chanoch
anything spicy - couldnt even have pepper on my food. Now I throw Tabasco sauce on just about everything...

I not so much hated, but was terrified of all sorts of foods when I was a kid. Nowadays I love eating at all sorts of ethnic restaurants. I still hate crunchy onions and mushrooms though (exemption for mushrooms if I'm drunk though... they taste AWESOME when I'm fully buzzed).
- Internet's Tad
Beer, coffee, graperuit juice, anything that was bitter. Now I only eat bitter things.
- Meg v. Meg v. 1.0.0.1
*Crunchy* onions? Interesting. I definitely grew up a texture eater. Enjoy food with substance. Hate biting into food with give, ie: mushrooms. But I LOVE mushroom flavor. Well-pureed mushroom soup is the bomb.
- Lisa L. Seifert
Lisa - that's how I feel about crunchy onions. I hate hate hate the texture and that crunch, but I love the flavor. Yeah, that's weird.
- Internet's Tad
I'm the opposite. I used to eat EVERYTHING when I was a kid. Now, I am one of the pickiest eaters out there. Friends of mine don't like eating at restaurants with me because of how picky I am.
- Candace
Ketchup. Although I'm still pretty picky about what I'll put it on.
-
It was the Stove Top Stuffing that made me want to puke as a kid. Love the stuff ing now.
- Dale Adams
now I love: peas, onions, bell peppers, spinach, avocado, pears, plums. things i used to like as a kid but don't anymore: raisins, bananas, applesauce, macaroni and cheese, string cheese. things i still hate: green beans, peaches.
- Hannah
Fuller FTW. Sad I'm missing the exhibit at the Whitney. I wish it would travel or something. I'd totally drive to l.a. for it. http://www.whitney.org/www...

Decide Which Way to Run is an awesome title for an awesome photo. Is the lighting natural or edited? If I ever write a book, I'd love this to be the cover pic provided you don't mind of course. It's so cool! : )

"Lotus will unveil an environmentally-friendly version of its sporty roadster called Eco Elise at the British Motor Show that opens its doors on July 22. Unlike most eco-friendly propositions of our time, the Eco Elise study doesn’t revolve solely around tailpipe CO2 emissions. Instead, the Brits tried a holistic approach to ecology by using sustainable materials, cleaner manufacturing processes, renewable energy generation and of course, by reducing the car’s weight."

isn't it? but just because it has hemp, it doesn't mean it's eco friendly... lotuses are guzzlers!
- Mona Nomura
@mona to be boring precise arshole, i must note that *guzzlers* are any cars running on non-renewable energy sources OR used them in production time... i.e. ANY modern car is guzzler ;)
- A.T.
love the elise! and now it's eco-friendly! Hell yeah!
- Jack Lhasa
silpol: hmmm then it's a super duper ultra guzzler? =P Jack: I wonder what the panel smells like haha
