What was most striking about this iteration of the event (as opposed to other ones I've gone to, either as a judge or an observer) was how similar so many of the burgers were. Yes, there were a few exotic ones, like Michael Symon's pastrami-topped Fat Doug burger, which won the People's Choice award, the night's biggest honor. Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto won critical raves for a Kakuni burger topped with Japanese pork belly and served with a house-made pickle so good, it could put Ba-Tampte out of business. And Daniel Boulud served...
...selected them to appear in a 40-min. documentary called Seven Up!, directed by Paul Almond. The kids were chosen to represent English classes and regions: Jackie, Lynn and Sue from a London council estate, John, Andrew and Charles from a Kensington boarding school, Paul and Simon (originally spelled Symon) from a charity home, Neil and Peter from a Liverpool suburb, Suzy from a titled family, Nicholas from the Yorkshire dales, rough-and-tumble Tony from the East End, ethereal Bruce from divorced upper-class parents...

(Batali's influence can also be seen in the crudo sensation in New York City and L.A.--crudo being Italian-style raw fish, brightly flavored and very pricey.

As Dr. Thuita well knew, the best way to begin any examination is by taking the patient's pulse. "If the pulse leaps like a frog," he explained, "the problem is in the throat. If it jumps like a cow, it is in the gastric system, and if it is smooth as a snake, then it is in the belly...
Tools of the Trade. Symon Thuita is an M'ganga, which is Swahili for witch doctor, and he is one of Kenya's best. His adept handling of the Nairobi nightmare case marked another step forward for the fledgling A.P.A. Its ultimate aim is to mold the new republic's 6,000 witch doctors, as well as 100 or more Indian ayurvedics, or herbalists, into a kind of copy of the American Medical Association which will carry black magic into the 20th century, just as Africa's politicians have done for tribalism...
