- Cheap wine doesn't have to mean a case of Charles Shaw: NY Times readers are discussing their favorite bottles under $10 over at their Food section message boards -- what are yours?
- The LAist staff thanks you for continuing on with us on our Thai Town journey: check out Thai Patio, Yai #1 and #2, Red Corner Asia, Kruang Tedd, Thai Original BBQ, and (phew!) Hollywood Thai. If we never see another plate of Pad Thai in our entire lives, however, we'll be perfectly happy.
- And now for something completely different: the LA Times reviews...Thai restaurants in the Los Angeles area!!! No way!
- Jonathan Gold gets down and very dirty with a cajun-flavored seafood boil at The Boiling Crab, a "Cajun seafood restaurant opened by a Vietnamese family from southeast Texas and serving a young Chinese clientele." That's LA for you.
- EaterLA inaugurates their "Sign of the Times" feature with this peculiar advertisement for a new izakaya chain, compliments of the folks who also brought you 750ml and Cobras & Matadors.
- It's National Eat Dinner Together Week: studies show that children of families who make it a priority to sit down for dinner are healthier and make better food choices throughout life.
- Bacon + chocolate = a very exotic candy bar. While salty and sweet are a great flavor combination, and we can even get on board with spicy chocolate, can our well-documented love of bacon withstand even this test???
- Is raising your own chickens a viable alternative to purchasing factory farmed birds? The NYT talks to some folks who are keeping (and butchering) flocks in their city backyards. It's not just a New York phenomenon, either: a producer in Hollywood is selling how-to videos that teach you how to farm your own fowl.

Great, I didn't even know the bacon chocolate bar existed, and I was getting along fine, perfectly blissful in my ignorance. Now you tell me about it, and the website you referred me to, which made it sound like the most amazing thing EVER, says "out of stock". Now I'm stuck with an unfulfillable desire. Thanks a lot, Internet!
those chicks are cute.
ok the one is. in her dress.
hey Colinski, rumor has it they sell them at Alcove (the restaurant) in Los Feliz!!! See you there!!!
Oddly enough, I just ate this chocolate bar LAST NIGHT! It truly is incredible. It's like a chocolate covered pretzel, but way better because it has a subtle bacon flavor. I can't recommend this enough...
oh now it's trendy to have backyard chickens? mexicans in los angeles have had backyard chickens since the city was founded and have been getting in trouble for it too. in los angeles, raising your own chickens is nothing new.
OH YES #6 IT IS THE TRENDIEST I dress my chickens in american apparel leggings and ray-bans, I don't care at all about ethical consumption and non-hypocritical food practices I only care about what the NYT tells me! and I think the people who have been living in california the longest have nothing to contribute to the conversation and we should just ignore them!!!!
I have the worst attitude ever and I am deliberately confrontational! I hate trying to understand other people's points of view and I absolutely can't stand communicating my own opinions and experiences with a sense of humor and charitable openness!!! ahahahah I hate everything and I am bitter and alone!!!!
LAist is hardly one to talk about ideas being stolen.
I've not tried the bacon chocolate bar but I can attest; Vosges truffles are DA SHIT! I will never go back to a basic truffle again....

ps. They come in pretty packaging too.
