The real counter culture at Johnny's Diner

By Jason Sheehan | Thu, November 13, 2008

This is my fear: Someday, this modern turn toward the glorification of quote/unquote regional American cuisine and New American and modern American fusion will destroy what little we have left of the true American cuisine. Someday, many years from... More »

A study released last week by the big brains at the Brookhaven National Laboratory has finally proven something I've known all along: Bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches are addictive. Like cigarettes, heroin and reruns of the original Star Trek, c... More »

Everyone on the bandwagon! We're headin' down to Atkinstown and don't wanna leave nobody behind... Atkins is everywhere these days. The eponymous diet that Dr. Robert Atkins stumped for pretty much non-stop from the moment his first book on the ... More »
