These Assholes Line Jumped at the Frisco In-N-Out Yesterday - Dallas Restaurants and Dining - City of Ate

OK...if you live in Dallas, and don't live under a rock, you should know that the biggest news, giving Osama a run for the money, in the last few days was the arrival of In-N-Out burgers in town. Obviously it was covered with relish (no pun intended) by the local media, including re-runs of the woman who cried on camera after taking a bite of this fast food delight (wow, I don't know Californians were so attached to their double-doubles...), but this article takes the cake.

Jenny Block is no Alice Lassaude, but her description of the events unfolding in Frisco is hilarious...and don't miss the erudite comments at the bottom...next on the list, Trader Joe's....

Is 'Outsourced' racist?

Is 'Outsourced' racist? - The Week

So the buzz last week was about Outsourced. NBC had been teasing us with the promos of the show, making every desi and his/her mother wanting to see the show...but was it worth it? Your comments below, please...

However, as usual, there was some deep introspection and critical analysis of the show by distinguished personalities...ranging from does "Eastern cultures produce timid women" to 'should we really be looking at the White guy and the country he comes from?"...

..."every time it veers toward being an incisive commentary on American insularity and superficiality, it panics, jumping to jokes on the level of, 'What's with the dot on the head?'"

Indian restaurant bottles its experience for homes

Indian restaurant bottles its experience for homes - The Globe and Mail

So its no secret that Indian food is fairly popular in most major cities in North America, and now branching into smaller cities as well...(there are 3 Indian restaurants in Nassau, Bahamas!) - but this article suggests an interesting concept - bottling sauces for DIY cooking. That concept is not new either - with companies now promoting "home made" Indian sauces in the likes of Whole Foods - but would consumers buy and experiment? Or are they now so used to the $9.99 buffet to even mess with it?
