A few choice selections from the delicious world of the web:
The key to getting Al Qaeda operatives to crack under
interrogation:
pizza. (Is there nothing it can't do?) Ice cream and cookies
also played integral roles, according to Andrew Serwer of Mother
Jones in
his analysis of the memoir of former FBI interrogator Ali
Soufan.
Michelin releases their 2012 New York City guide, and John
Mariani of Esquire
yawns. A thorough breakdown of the mysterious Michelin process
and oft-confounding star rating system.
Alex Vallis of Food & Wine writes the guide on
How to Embarass Yourself in a Nice Restaurant. Only a 5 item
list?? I can think of about 20 more that I've stumbled upon
unintentially.
Eater NY maps out the restaurants visited by U.S. presidents
in
The Guide to Presidential Dining in New York City. Obama
and Clinton seem to have a lot in common ( Daniel, Red
Rooster, Il Mulino),
as did Reagan and Nixon ( Le
Perigord). Rugged individualist Teddy Roosevelt did his manly
dining at Delmonico's.
No mention of President Taft. Maybe he took his meals at home (or
in the bath).
Bonus video. The POTUS and Joe Biden hit up Ray's
Hell Burger in Arlington. Excellent choice, sir.
