...flavors and textures going on. All of which, Ozersky fears, will be ruined by the big-name chefs. "I think these guys don't really get burgers," he says. "They all want to tweak it and one-up each other, so they use Kobe beef and truffles, but it can't be improved upon. All these efforts are doomed to folly." Which, at least, is something about burgers I agree with him on. After all, if we could make ground beef better by adding stuff, we'd be driving though Meat Loaf Kings...
...roast cut" steak is best prepared after a good marinating in grated white onion, which tenderizes the meat, and then pan-fried with a little soy sauce. Hattori says that the price of the most prized part of the whale - the tail meat - is on par with that of Kobe beef, roughly $28 for 3.5 oz. (100 grams...
...China's brightest scholars were dispatched to the U.S., Germany and Japan to vacuum up the latest scientific knowledge and take new ideas back home to advance the socialist cause.

When a killer earthquake leveled Tokyo in 1923, non-Japanese residents were unfairly blamed for poisoning the water supply. Japanese mobs killed thousands of ethnic Chinese...
...that takes the Bonds bait. It's bad enough we'll have to suffer through his trial, unless he takes an unexpected plea. Do we also want to see him sitting in a San Francisco courtroom by day, and catching a charter to a game by night, a la Kobe Bryant during his 2004 rape case? (The charges against Bryant were later dismissed.) Of course not. And if that kind of spectacle drives fans crazy, imagine how it could destroy a clubhouse. Even for a dreadful team like the Devil Rays, that's a lot to lose...
