Challenge Submissions and a Few Linkatudes

Only one more month is left in 2010. Which means it is time to start submitting your ideas for Peter's Food Challenge in the Year 2011. While I have had good fun providing you a weekly glimpse into the ramblings and thoughts of a crazy man, I am more that happy to relinquish the challenge year to my Peter in Crime.

No suggestions will be turned away except for: 1) Can't Eat at Same Restaurant Twice and 2) Must Bore Us Weekly with Stupid Ideas.


Now, here is our review of The Rib Room from this month's offBeat Magazine. We particularly enjoyed our lunch at The Rib Room. Should you be in the quarter and looking for a place to eat, pop in there for a cool blend of the old and the new.

Originally, I wrote a wine and medical geeky piece on two New Orleans doctors who are making their own wines. The article feature all sorts of polyphenol talk and anti-oxidant mumbo jumbo. Luckily, for you our editor Alex Rawls at offBeat had me rewrite the story into something you would want to read, hopefully. But here is the short version of my original piece: drinking a glass of wine 2-3 times a day can make you live longer and, more importantly, be healthier longer. Just one more reason you should drink the good juice.

An exhaustive review of ethnic foods in the city. Each month devoted to a different ethnicity: January-Japanese, February-Spanish, etc...

Here is the challenge, he can't eat Vietnamese if it isn't the month of Vietnamese.

Aw, and I was hoping for "Vietnamese weekdays", wherein he eats only Viet food M-F. All year.

Ok. I got one for ya. There are 52 weeks in the year. He must eat, once a week, somewhere he's never been before. There must be 52 spots he hasn't hit. How does that sound?

Dessert after every meal he eats. Good things might happen: diabetes, heart problems, weight gain, etc. The possibilities are endless.

what about "awful humpdays". On wednesday, you eat something in the city that would be considered offal. Tongue tacos at taqueria corona. Tongue sandwich at steins. Liver and onions. boiled pigs feet from Jefferson seafood. Beef tendon soup from the wank. Brains and eggs. Etc. On a side note, you can get all kinds of stuff at that mini-mart/butcher at the end of Oak.
