Hey, faithful readers - I won't be recapping Just Desserts here because I need a break, especially since Top Chef season 8 is rumored to start immediately after Just Desserts ends in November.
I will, however, be doing a recap of sorts (sans images) on the All Top Chef blog, make sure to visit me there every Thursday.

Choice Bites 9.22.10
Ever wonder how Jelly Belly invents new flavors for its jelly beans? Now you know.Here's an interesting comment from Frank Bruni on restaurant noise:
"...a lot of restaurants manufacture that amount of noise because people want to feel like they are at a 'happening' place and sometimes the easiest way for a restaurant to telegraph [the message] 'we're happening' is to be absolutely cacophonous." (Huffington Post)
Manufactured, eh? Well stop it! I couldn't care less about happening joints. I just want good food.
UK newspaper The Guardian picks the 50 Best Cookbooks of All Time. Find 1-10 here and 11-50 here. I only own six of them.

Meat as fashion statement: so what beefy cuts did Lady Gaga wear to the VMAs?
Dining Out for Life
This Thursday, September 23rd, is Dining Out for Life, an annual event that raises tens of thousands of dollars for Moveable Feast, the organization that feeds homebound people with HIV/AIDS and breast cancer.
All you have to do to support this worthwhile charity is to dine out at one of over forty participating restaurant on September 23rd. All restaurants will be donating at least 20% of their sales from that evening to Moveable Feast.
For more information, and a list of participating restaurants, go to http://www.diningoutforlife.com/baltimore.
We're going to Clementine. :)
And don't forget, bloggers, to blog about your Dining Out for Life dining experiences at http://mfeast.blogspot.com.
