Kabab Cafe, for old time’s sake

Same treatment with the ol' KC, reprinted from eGullet, plus more pics on the way. By the way, Ali is kicking ass these days. Sweetbreads, sardines, fantastic duck...

Astronaut ice cream a fraud!

This eGullet Q&A with a NASA food scientist is great–even though she has no sense of humor (note how she just doesn’t dish on in-flight food poisoning like you wish she would).

I’d get huffy and nostalgic about this, but really, that stuff sucked.
