I'm in Beijing until Sunday and will be in Shanghai for a couple of days afterwards and I want to get a Chinese cleaver. So far I haven't been looking too hard mainly because I don't want to lug around a bigass cleaver in my backpack. If anyone got a specific recommendation where to get one I'd be interested. My host's Chinese gf recommended looking around in supermarkets but that hasn't yielded great results so far. Mostly pretty thick, stainless cleavers whereas I'd ideally get a thin carbon steel one. Foodwise this place owns, I ate all the pig knuckles, duck tongues and millions of jiaoze.

Find a Chan Chi Kee cleaver. I use one for the majority of my veg prep at work and the thing is a beast.

It's way towards the eastern end I think. e: you don't eat jiaozi in Shanghai you barbarian, you eat shitloads of shenjiang and xiaolong bao <  >

It's a running joke at my house how he is always stuffing poo poo in his mouth with his blinged-out sausage fingers, going "MMffww...fffmmough...that's GOOD" while the owner looks at him like "Just swallow and get out already."

Some owners get into it, though. There was (is? I don't know they were terrible and I hope they're not around anymore) a burger place in Reno that got profiled and immediately after airing they put up giant photos and cutouts and everything of him all over the place and left them up forever (maybe still? I don't have any idea).

The Canadian one is so much better. The host knows his food but isn't a pro chef so he doesn't interject with stupid "I'm so clever" comments every five seconds and doesn't really mug at the camera much other than the odd corny joke. It's also a wider variety of establishment most of the time though the focus definitely is on the same sort of local neat place.

Squeeze In is still playing it up. But they're always packed, too, sooo

And Peg's, with all their expansion, apparently doesn't need any help with promoting themselves as all locations are still impossible to get a table at without waiting. The real place to send him would be to get an Awful Awful downtown, if only to see the reactions of people coming in off the street trying to find the place and then dealing with the regular clientele. Or best of all Casale's, though I think they'd probably kick him out after getting him drunk and taking nekkid pictures or something.

He also carries around a stencil that he uses to spray paint the walls of some of the places he's been to. One of my favorite diners here has it.

Ask me about: synchronized service of 50 lava cakes (equipment: 1 convection oven (sketchy), 1 still oven (constantly opening and closing for dinner service to the rest of the place)) hint: the answer involves firing 100 lava cakes and a lot of sugar burns on my palm pile of brown fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Feb 24, 2013 |

Im not sure if that was a question or a suggestion but they were baked in these tinfoil cupcake looking things. The place didn't have 50 matching anything, let alone 100

Today's my 26th birthday, yay. Last night was fun. I got a free birthday beer mixed drink/shot, so I had a Black & Tan. Then Elevator Hot Nut Brown Ale, two strong stouts (Bear Republic Black Bear and Bell's Double Cream), and...finished off with two Woodchucks. Woodchuck Raspberry is pretty good. Also the chicken pot pie earlier, that was good too.

none whatsoever. The Black Bear was a bit of a slog though, it's a really thick stout.

Look for Speedway Stout (Alesmith) or Serpent Stout (Lost Abbey) if you want to see what a really thick stout's like. Or Firestone Walker's Parabola, which gets a little wider distribution. That's not to say Big Bear Black is a bad beer - it's one of my favorites around here at its price point - but as far as stouts go it's on the shallow end of robust. Also happy birthday kid.

Well then I guess I'm bad at stouts  . I did like the Elevator Hot Nut Brown. The..waitress, I guess? I'm not sure what to call her. But she warned me against it, but I liked it  .
