Re: “We Can Do Better: The 10 Most Overrated Foods”
oh! this is the worst list! I would think "overrated" would include things that were popular on menus everywhere within the last 3 years, not basic ingredients to cook with....especially not truffles. Remember when everything had a little frisée garnish, or excessive use of foams? This list is like saying water is overrated....because obviously the writer is going for the ironic: it's not really overrated I just strive to be ironic list.
NO BUENO!!

This is one of the many reasons I like L Magazine so much. Nicely done, Cathy Erway!

@Jeff Rey Charles Aldridge: Genetic biodiversity is important to a healthy ecosystem, and while there are numerous individual, or "heritage" breeds of cattle (and heirloom varieties of fruits/vegetables), many aren't bred/cultivated industrially and some have even become extinct. Raising them for food is one practical way to ensure their survival and promote much-needed biodiversity. Check out more about it here: http://albc-usa.org/ and here: http://heritagefoodsusa.com

Re: “We Can Do Better: The 10 Most Overrated Foods”
Corn didn't take the top spot? If butter is in almost everything, then corn is in EVERYTHING!

hope the "least exploited foods" list is more compelling.
Re: “We Can Do Better: The 10 Most Overrated Foods”
If a breed was threatened, why would we spark a craze to kill it and eat it?
Re: “We Can Do Better: The 10 Most Overrated Foods”
I completely disagree!
Re: “Brooklyn’s 10 Best New Restaurants”
Quick comment on Littleneck:
I'll stick to the facts. We made a reservation for 8people (6adults &2kids) for an early saturday night dinner. We all arrived on time and we were shown a booth for 6people. The staffer assumed the kids would sit on someone's lap for the entire dinner service. We quickly said 'No thanks" and we prepared to leave. A short haired blonde woman was apologetic and said they could make it right if we waited a few minutes. So the 8 of us waited by the front door for 15mins and we were shown a 4top (table for 4people)! I wish I was joking. Another waiter (balding guy) said you might be a little tight but it should work. We politely said No Thanks again and walked out. It is a shame common sense is often overlooked as part of "good service"

Re: “The 10 Best Trader Joe's Store-Brand Items”
I love the Indian Food as well. I remember reading a bit back that it's made and packaged by the same company that sells the "Tasty Bite" line of foods in other Supermarkets. The Dorot frozen herbs isn't a Trader Joe's produced product though, I've been all about the Frozen Ginger cubes for ages.
