Oh I know there are many people that prefer it on a burger. Just not my thing. Meeting Kenji was fun. It was a gathering of a room full of food nerds. Kind of like going to a party where you don't know anyone, big difference being everyone here had a common interest. I struck up conversations with several people and had a pretty good time and picked upa signed copy of the book. So far I've just started reading the introduction which is quite entertaining. jb

How about saying very nicely, "When you dine here you act like a douchebag, are we doing something to upset you?" Absolutely just kidding and think you've handled it very well. I would have a hard time putting up with truly rude behavior, I suppose I'm not cut out for customer service. jb

That's what I like about him, though he has an affinity for American cheese on burgers. Which is an opinion I don't share nor understand. I know people like what they like and often what we like is acquired or colored by our childhood experiences and go beyond reason. But American cheese is nasty...to me. jb

I'm attending a meet and greet with Kenji at ChefSteps in Seattle this evening. Plan on picking up a copy. I don't read Serious Eats regularly, but have liked what I have read. Even if I don't agree with everything he says he is thorough and opinionated, you have to admire that. jb
