• The Doggie Bag: Today's Odds and Ends

  Our favorite food blog posts of Tuesday, May 19, 2009 A nation divided: In perhaps the ultimate act of foodie patriotism, the NY Times food blog went on a 50-state search for dishes containing the fiery condiment sriracha, like the cheesesteak dumplings with sriracha ketchup at Philly's Fireside Tavern. Problem is, red states seem to have an aversion to the red stuff: Thirteen states are apparently sririracha free, including Arkansas, Kentucky, and Idaho. WTF, America? Well put: Ideas in Food'

• MP3 of the Day: Odetta

  In memory of Odetta, the beloved folk singer who died at age 77 of heart disease on Tuesday, our MP3 of the Day today is her version of a great song, "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out." The track is available for streaming at Last.fm, alongside a good little selection of her repertoire (which comprises over two dozen recordings) which ran from the blues to folk and spirituals, with a strong bent towards songs of the civil rights movement. "Nobody Knows..." is a jazzy number (sung over t

• TiVo Alert: Dysfunctional Family Re-Opens Fancy-Schmancy Restaurant

  By Meredith Brody You may have noticed that there's precious little new stuff to watch during the holidays - a period which The New York Times describes as "a profound holiday slumber of repeats and musical specials." But we can't even find any musical specials, and are reduced to re-watching A Colbert Christmas , which in a marketing stroke of genius was broadcast before Thanksgiving and available on DVD immediately thereafter. ("Remember, every time you buy a copy of A Colbert Christmas, an

• My Toddler Can Out-Cook Your Toddler

  It seems The New York Times can't get enough of kitcheny, kitschy kids. First they write about a 12-year-old aspiring restaurant critic, and we wrote about that here. Now it turns out that the back-of-the-book food-page-with-recipes in The New York Times Magazine is being re-jiggered for the new year: "changes designed to more heartily and tastefully reflect the way we eat now." The first of the new columns is called Cooking With Dexter, in which Pete Wells, the editor of The Times's Dining se

• St. Luke's Doctor: DIY Abortions by S.F. Latinas Overhyped in New York Times

  Progressive San Francisco may be a card-carrying pro-choice city where abortions are readily accessible. But just because a hipster chick can wear a snarky T-shirt that could very well  get her burned at the stake in more conservative zip codes hasn't erased abortion's taboo within the city's immigrant communities. As reported in the New York Times earlier this month, an ongoing study indicates that some immigrant Latinas from fiercely anti-abortion cultures will avoid abortion clinic

• The Real Power of the Press -- New York Times' Awkward Headline Spurs Men Nationwide To Protect Family Jewels

  Shaming an outlaw president, exposing illegal arms deals, or busting corrupt capitalists is all well and good. But it takes real power and influence to make all the men of America unthinkingly shield their genitals. Sure, the above New York Times headline actually refers to a Major League Baseball pitch-tracking system that umpires felt was the first step toward replacing them with HAL 2000 ("What are you doing, Dave Winfield?) But, at first glance, the headline "Ball-Strike Monitor May Reopen O

• New York Times Profiles Dogpatch, Neglects to Mention Hard Knox Cafe

  Here in San Francisco, we all know and love the Dogpatch for its food, its Victorians, and, of course, its ability to provide a headquarters for the Hell's Angels. So it was delightful to see it get some national recognition in the travel section of Monday's New York Times.  There was just one enormous problem. The story mentioned every restaurant in the neighborhood except Hard Knox Cafe, a Southern soul food establishment with killer fried chicken that's impossibl

  Jim Wilson/New York TimesIn the(ir) DNA: Green Day We've still got a few days to go before Green Day's new album, 21st Century Breakdown, drops (on May 15, if you're wondering). And Bay Area audiences might be sick of the pop-punk superstars already, after a recent frenzy of live shows at mostly smaller venues previewing the new record. But while we've been lucky enough to take Green Day for granted, the national press is just warming up to the notion of the multiplatinum band's return. Take y

  Our favorite morsels from the food blogs and beyond. High on a budget: The New York Times filled up on foil-wrapped fatties over the weekend as part of its Save or Splurge travel guide (the save: less than $250 a day; the splurge: conspicuous consumption at Coi). According to Jaime Gross, it's possible to feast for less than $20 in the "multiethnic Mission District" -- as long as you stick to the burritos at El Farolito, Papalote, and El Metate. But what's with wiggy girl in the pic, looking eq

• Boo: New York Times Reports on Pair of North Beach Hauntings

  ​ Don't rush to the New York Times' Web page. The article in question was published on December 21st in 1871. And it's written with such colorfully bizarre language, it make us wish we lived when most people still firmly believed that the dead walked amongst us. This particular account details the antics of a pair of ghouls who resided in North Beach. ​Did you know that San Francisco ghosts do not fear the light of day? Me neither. The ghost turned out to be the deceased husband of the woman

We have our reasons.  At first, the the addition of Bay Area sections to the nation's most prominent national newspapers sounded pretty exciting. Talented, experienced reporters from the New York Times and Wall Street Journal would be penetrate our sad, sad news vacuum, rewarding

• New York Times' YouTube Investigation: Bicyclists Sometimes Run Stop Signs

  ​The odd media war unfolding in San Francisco -- in which major dailies establish editions here while local periodicals fade away -- advanced in a new direction Friday, with a page A-19 story in the New York City edition of the New York Times titled "San Francisco's Cyclists Facing Backlash for Flouting Rules of the Road."The story didn't coincide with the headline. The purported San Francisco backlash consisted of one guy  on a bike who got a ticket for running a stop sign in Portola Val
