Dish Gal appeared this past Friday, September 18 on NECN on Jim Braude's Broadside Weekly News IQ Quiz. Without giving it away, at least I got the food-related question right!! ;)

I can't figure out how to embed the video...any help would be greatly appreciated...

In the meantime, enjoy the video on NECN's website! (click the link above)

Lots of love,

Seinfeld!!!

This Saturday night, Z and I are going to see Jerry Seinfeld at the MGM Grand Foxwoods!!

To put this excitement in perspective, I'd say my top three loves in life are food, travel, and Seinfeld. I've watched this show since I was too young to stay up to watch it (at 9 p.m.). I can recite whole scenes on command. For my college thesis I analyzed, among other characters, Elaine from Seinfeld. In other words, seeing Jerry Seinfeld do his stand-up is a life-long dream.

To gear up for this night, I've decided on Dish This each day until Saturday I'll be highlighting my favorite Seinfeld food moments-- and there are TONS of them! From the soup nazi to Elaine getting dumped over Juji Fruits, there's a lot to choose from. And of course, I'll relate them to something Boston-y.

This first one? The Muffin Top episode! Elaine pops the tops off her muffin, starting a revolution. Who hasn't thrown away the stump?!

Here in Boston, sadly we don't have a "Top of the Muffin to You!" store. However, we DO have Boston Beanstock Coffee Co. in my own neighborhood! Located on Salem Street in the North End, this coffee company offers free wi-fi, yummy paninis, specialty coffees, and most importantly, MUFFIN TOPS! When I visited, I had a delicious pumpkin one.

No word on whether or not they made Mr. Lippman's mistake of baking the muffins without the bottoms...But in any case, they are delicious.

Top of the muffin...to you, dear reader! ;)

Quote of the Day-- for all the waitresses out there..

I feel like I have to share this kind-of-amusing quote from this morning, brought to you by one of the greatest television shows of all time, Saved by the Bell.

"I've already made 5 dollars in tips!" - Kelly, after her first waitressing shift at The Max.

(Did five dollars really go that far in the early 90s?)
