It’s come to my attention that not everyone in the neighborhood is aware that Beretta‘s margherita with burrata is the best thing in the world. In fact, twice yesterday I heard, “What’s burrata?”

Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella  and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture. It is usually served fresh, at room temperature. The name “burrata” means “buttered” in Italian.

Damn! So you take that, top it with basil, put it on some perfect tomato sauce and a physics-defying crust, and you have the best thing in the world. Just look at it!

If you haven’t had one, go get one.

P.S. The fava bruschette is back!

Beretta’s bathrooms are usually pretty tag-free, right? How’d this guy slip in?

If you’re like me and you’ve been wondering what the fuck an arepa is, Grubstreet is happy to tell you, in a post about the opening of Pica Pica on Valencia Street that includes the full text of the menu. Read it and you will come away with a greater understanding of Venezuelan food and a desire to eat some soon.

Ramona today looks at one of Western Civilization’s least civilized customs:

At a restaurant the designation “large party” is like those “oversize load” signs they put on flatbed trucks that are carrying mobile homes down the freeway. The person who said, “Let’s cut this house in half and drive it down the interstate.” Is probably the same ambitious person who said “Let’s go out to dinner with 16 of our closest friends. That sounds fun.”

See just how ugly fun it gets.

The Onion has the scoop:

Describing himself as “terribly exhausted,” famed linguist and political dissident Noam Chomsky said Monday that he was taking a break from combating the hegemony of the American imperialist machine to try and take it easy for once.

I’ve never felt this way before. I hope you don’t think this is too forward but… would you want to get coffee sometime?

Remember the debate surrounding whether or not this scrawled tag was promising work or not a few weeks back? I just realized Oddfellow is this dude:

Promising indeed!
