Nothing will replace Sushi as king of cuisine.

Nothing.

As a Salvadoran who enjoys Pupusas, I approve of this article.

I love living on my street. Within one block's radius of my apartment I have an excellent Greek restaurant, two falafel joints, three (!) Indian restaurants, a Chinese takeout, a Caribbean cuisine restaurant, an "edible art gallery", two hoity toity lobbyist restaurants, a decent coffee shop, an old-school Italian restaurant that does a kickass veal, a glorified taqueria, and a yuppie sammich lunch place.

So no, I don't really care about your foodie fads, I've got the world on my plate. :D

Half that stuff has been popular so long its already on its way out. Small plates? 2006.

I guess these folks don't live in Los Angeles where pupusas have been on the menu for about 20 years.

Poutine. We will make you love it.

Adman12: Poutine. We will make you love it.

How appropriate, 'Blame Canada' came on just as I was reading your comment. ;)

/AND THAT biatch ANNE MURRAY, TOO.

mmm... silkworm pupas in seasoned soy sauce

I never realized how popular sushi is until I spent some time in Los Angeles. It's everywhere over there. Apparently Southern Californians love it. Not sure why. I guess it's what the "cool crowd" eats.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm pupusas...

Had 'em for the first time a couple months ago.

Nothing.

THIS.

Mmmmm, mangos and teens.

With the way the economy is going, the next food craze to hit America will be gruel.

Already do!!!

I'm fortunate to live in the Bay Area where deciding what kind of food to eat takes just as long as deciding where you want to go get it. I've tried both home-made and restaurant pupusas and they're good. You won't get me to eat the loroco ones though. Those flowers don't smell too good. Mongolian barbecue has been around for quite some time. I've been going to places like that since the 90's. Mmmmm. Nacatamale. Samosas. Anything Thai. I haven't tried mangosteen yet, but I've tasted fresh durian and tried the durian ice cream at Polly Ann's.

I have to say the Brazilian Steakhouse experience is for my money (and it can be quite expensive) the coolest new concept out there.

No thanks. Not while I can has cheezeburger.

I live in north-central florida...you can get sushi anywhere, most supermarket chains here carry typical rolls (they aren't amazing, but that's what expensive restaurants are for).

Of course, there are tons of Asians here, but it is the same way back where I'm from (a tiny beach town).

I just finished a book last week called 'The Ultimate' by William Poundstone, and mangosteens are mentioned as one of the 'ultimate best foods'. First time I ever heard of mangosteens; the book was written in the mid-80s, so I guess they've been around in a few places in the States for a while...

I love pupusas so much I submitted a TFD thread (new window) about them the other night. :)

The only risk with something this thrilling is its potential for bastardization. Texas ham-and-cheese dosas, anyone?

How DARE you associate Texas with ham!

We'd use it as a basis for something of the chicken fried steak variety.

Oprah loves whatever the latest OMG MIRACLE FOOD the twat doctor of the week on her show plugs as a cure for everything.

Chokeberries coming up within a year or two as the miracle cure for everything, by the way. Mark my words.

I usually prepare when I go to those...it can almost be called training. I love those places.

I'd love to try a Mangosteen

Pasteles.

If there is a better late night drunk food, please let me know.

Only been to one once. Didn't expect to drop a bill for two people that night (alread spent $200 on shoes earlier). But I still have to say it was worth every penny. I almost completely filled up on the salad bar before I even got my first portion of meat. I think you are right, you really have to prepare before going to one.

I can't wait til the new one opens up here in KC that will make the third one we have.

sunshine_mcbihface: Already do!!!

Want

Sushi is last year? I thought Pho was the newest SE Asian thing. Those places are popping up everywhere. Not that its a bad thing, I love Pho. I love sushi more.

I'm waiting for Tapas bars to start showing up everywhere.

They're already all over the place here around Albany. :P There's one within a block's radius of my apartment, too, but I don't really consider it food.

My buddy Jorge's wife and mother-in-law make some awesome pupusas, but they got me addicted to sopes.

Mangosteens have a very thick skin to protect delicate pure white segments inside. They have a deliciously sharp/tangy flavour. The flesh bruises easily. I heartily recommend them.

Have you tried ta ka tan?

Yes, that's it. We're all just a bunch of followers out here. It has nothing to do with the fact that it's delicious and not half bad for you (if you avoid the spicy tuna roll).

But I guess ragging on Southern California is what the "cool crowd" does.

Fogo De Chao in Chicago. 32.50 a plate for lunch. All you can eat filet wrapped in bacon... mmmmmmmmmBacon

ftfy

i loooooove mangosteens! it sucks that you can't get them in the US. Though I remember my dad used get them way back in the way somehow, looking back on it it was probably illegal. Anyway, i highly recommend to anyone who is able to try them fresh.

I loved the "Bizarre Foods" episode where Andrew Zimmern and Anthony Bourdain go to the Red Hook ballfields (Brooklyn) and have some Pupusas. Motherfarker was like "These are good Pupusas", sounding like a real connoisseur. T'was funny.

I like hotpot. Curries are fantastic. Shwarma or Tandori are fantastic street foods. Steak is still fantastic, though. My freezer isn't full of sushi and mangosteen.

I kinda like KFC and Taco Bell. They are in the same building.

As a huge mangosteen eater, I can say this much...

Magosteens stupid interesting facts:

- the number of segements is equal to the number of "petals" on the flower on the bottom,
- to open them with your hands is safer than with a knife, the shell is HARD. Interlace your fingers on both hands together and then grip the mangosteen, top towards your wrists, and slowly apply pressure, the shell will split and crack. Don't over squeeze as the juice in the shell is not that pleasant tasting
- the juice from the shell is purple red and stains cotton but easily washed from your hands
- you can sometimes find hitchhikers on the mangosteen, shake the small ants from underneath the leaves on the stem
- the fruit inside is white, the larger segments may have a pit which is horribly bitter and do not break when eating
- and magosteen makes bad breath disappear while eating (or so the old folks say)
- brown fruit inside is bad
- DO NOT THROW AT FRIENDS AS A JOKE, THEM THINGS IS HARD AS ROCK


/ bought a case yesterday afternoon
// bought one and then went for the rest
/// if you find a good one, the get the rest as it is difficult to find good ones

Raiden333: Nothing will replace Sushi as king of cuisine.

Nothing.

I like catching better tastier fish with my bait.

I had Thai green curry for lunch, and Falafel for dinner, so Im getting a kick out of this thread.

Came here to give my props to pupusas...

/looks like the job has been done
//nice!

Fresh Mangosteen is now available legitimately in the US. Thailand is allowed to irradiate them and ship them. Pretty expensive though! Frozen and canned have been available for some time, but fresh is best.

And no knockin' sushiathem's tasty stuff.

Ingwe Mangosteens?

i would be so happy if dosas (good ones) became easy to find. northern indian cuisine sucks. give me some dosas, iddli and vada any day.

soots: mangocop: Have you tried ta ka tan?

Chaka Khan???

Arepas (new window)

You heard it hear first.

Sushi is so last year... and this article is so February. D:

/still nothing to eat in this town.
