For once, the government listens to New Orleans. On Friday, the FDA agreed to hold off on a warm-weather ban on raw Gulf oysters till the agency can fully study the issue. But in the Atlantic, it's getting harder to find cod on Cape Cod.

The International Vegetarian Union goes cannibalistic with this anatomical vegetarian advertisement. Keep it away from the woman afraid of vegetables.

Jamie Oliver, who's been hard at work trying to slim the waistlines of Huntington, W.Va., residents, is also peddling high-sodium pasta sauces in Britain.

If you like to slather it on, you can see all those Stephen Colbert-inspired Miracle Whip ads online here and here.

And finally, a Chicago Tribune sports columnist ate his own words -- the whole column in fact -- after admitting a basketball player drafted by the Bulls wasn't so bad after all.

Some of the most notable "Gourmet" recipes never made it to the magazine. Through its 69-year run, the magazine's food editors and test kitchen staff developed hundreds of adventurous, experimental, personal and just plain luscious recipes that for one reason or another escaped the print edition. With Gourmet.com's 2008 launch, multimedia supplements to magazine features, test kitchen video throw-downs, staffers' favorites and perusals of family archives afforded the opportunity to showcase Web-exclusive content, and a chance to serve up these recipes to their more cyber-savvy readers.

Though an Oct. 13 Tweet by the magazine's Executive Editor John Willoughby advised followers to "Go to gourmet.com, copy Web-exclusive recipes that will disappear: strawberry dumpling, banana upside down cake, curried pork noodles, etc.", Slashfood has been told by other Condé Nast insiders that after the magazine's recent, sudden shuttering, the future of Gourmet.com content remains uncertain, save for mag-published recipes that will be migrated to sister site Epicurious.com.

We're not taking any chances. We've clicked our way through 300-plus Web-exclusive recipes from October 2005 to September 2009 to find the 25 you simply must copy, paste and collect before they're (possibly) lost to the ages.

The debate this column fueled last week concerning the standard baseline tip isn't the sort of thing most servers spend much time considering: We'd all like our patrons to leave us lots and lots of money, thanks.

But that doesn't mean there aren't service issues upon which front-of-the-housers may never agree. I'm thinking here of doggie bagging, a practice that I've seen pit close friends against one another. The contentious question is who does the boxing.

At the white tablecloth restaurants where I've worked, it's understood that the task of wrapping a guest's half-eaten food in foil - ideally sculpted into a graceful swan - falls to the server (although since foie gras and lobster tail make for notoriously bad leftovers, many diners opt to have the vestiges of their five-star meals scraped straight into the trash.)

That's not always the case at slightly more casual restaurants, where many servers routinely plop Styrofoam boxes onto their guests' tables. As a veteran of fancy dining rooms, I always figured those servers were lazy. Turns out, they're looking out for their guests' interests.

Before we dive into the whiskey barrel and swim to safety, let's raise our glasses to the week that was.

Slashfood's barista pulled a hearty cappucino, the head sommelier uncorked some serious steals, our badass bartender ran afoul of the law, the brewski boys swilled Seattle and got hoppin' happy about a new Colorado IPA while our head blogger was caught in the crossfire of some cinematic Beer Wars.

We showed off our can-do attitude toward food preservation and gentleman farmers, then got snappy about food photo settings and crabby with 1970s-style dip and lingering customers until the Skinny Chef got us to chill out with summer soups and rooibos tea.

Julia Child's editor weighed in on her famous client's online Mini-Me, folks raised a kerfuffle over sodium levels, salmonella, felonious franks, free pastry and secret spices but really -- we just wanted to focus on our tacos.

Speaking of -- let's raise a toast to our dearly departed spokeschihuahua. Say perhaps, in Summit, N.J.? All-weekend-ish?

Knives. Outside of the full-time food dork world, people -- even foodies -- don't tend to talk about them much.

They have a bad association as, um, dull conversational topics: There's the unwelcome knife salesman banging on the door, or that eternal infomercial ("Only $39.95 in three easy installments!"). I owned a sub-par knife for years, until a friend trained at a local culinary institute basically took it away from me.

I've been shopping ever since with an eagle eye for sales. The santoku style caught my attention for its multiuse blade (note the indentations, which purportedly help keep food from sticking) and stylish look. And when I grabbed a Shun in hand at a local shop -- its base has a slight teardrop shape, perfectly suited to that soft nub between thumb and index finger -- I fell in love.

Before we all pile into the Burgermobile and head into the weekend, let's ketchup on the events of the past week.

The College of William & Mary spearheaded an effort to approve an asparagus stalk as their school mascot, while our beer blogger set out in search of the Great Lost Bear.

Our Coffee Meister got fresh about frozen beans, some nice Southern brothers threw down with an Iron Chef who'd just been grilled by the President and a pastry paragon fell short in his efforts to entice the wee folks with tofu pizza.

The Hungry Bride contemplated the morning after, our sommelier-in-training got a chilly response to the notion of iced wine, an Arkansas pea champ came out of her shell and we washed it all down with a Grasshopper and a pint of oyster ice cream.

Catch you at the Fancy Food Show!

Oh what a week! Strawberries are back in season (bring on the shortcake!), carrots are 25 percent healthier and Ubuntu's sommelier admits he eats meat.

Wylie Dufresne got salty this week on "Top Chef Masters," and we're not talking fun with NaCl. Tom Colicchio proved himself to be a fan of campy gothic vampire TV. And we digested all that yummy Big Apple barbecue. The Tweets from Aspen had us drooling so we thought up our favorite "pop-tails," and pondered our favorite foods and when, if ever, it's OK for a waitress to rest her dogs at your table.

Skinny Chef built a better grilled cheese, the Hungry Bride talked down-home wedding foods, the CoffeeMeister cupped and Bonnaroo fans made culinary do. And we reviewed "Craig Claiborne's Southern Cooking" and "The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen."

Here's to a Father's Day that's filled with good eats!

Every once in a while it's good to have a refresher course in kitchen safety. The FDA's 1996 flick "Dirty Little Secrets" does just that with a dramatic announcer, toilet paper in the fridge and a copy of "The Silver Palate Cookbook." Did they miss anything? Weigh in.

cap'n crunch crunch berries

My oh my, what a strange food week it has been. A judge actually had to rule on whether Cap'N Crunch's Crunch Berries are fruit. Turns out, they're not ... just in case you were confused.

Wylie Dufresne fiddled with a microwave, Anthony Bourdain outlined his dining-out bucket list and a Top 10 list to top all Top 10 lists was unveiled. Did you hear that a portion of the South is now dining out with the Lord?

Slashfood discovered the how, the why and the wonderful taste of oysters, supped on morels and washed them down with affordable rosés. We reviewed: "Rustic Fruit Desserts," "Martha Stewart's Cupcakes," "Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It" and "Pure Simple Cooking."

The CoffeeMeister talked Chemex, Skinny Chef got salty. We asked you where America's best beer bar is located and what the Hungry Bride should serve the small vegan contingent attending her wedding. Oh, and Elvis got his own cheese straw.

Jackalopes and humans wanted their free doughnuts while others delighted in the return of the Vanilla Bean Coolatta. And the Obamas, they had a date in New York.

hot chicken
Gotta get some Hot Chicken! And we're not talking Yo La Tengo, folks.

Yes, it's that time again when Slashfood reflects upon a delicious week of food news. And what a week it was! Aunt Evie and her Pickled Beet Dip faced off against Aunt Renie's Red Onion Cucumber Salad in a double dose of Flashback to the Seventies while LeNell shared her Rock Candy and Rye Whiskey recipe.

But we were still hungry. So Slashfood snacked on spinach salad, weeds and bamboo pickles; pondered Gummi bear surgery, "Japanese" iced coffee and the shape of cheese to come. (Speaking of cheese, it was back on the tongue Thursday and Friday for Shavuot).

After reviewing "Carmine's Family-Style Cookbook" and "Simply Mexican," Slashfood and the Hungry Bride got giddy over your registry advice and washed the week down with Kir Royale and some River Horse Brewing Double Wit. Drink up!

coffee grounds

As we move into this holiday weekend, Slashfood is just getting over a nasty case of "pine mouth." Thank goodness our taste buds have returned as we really want to stock up on free hot dogs and ice cream. And we can't forget about livermush, LeNell's Ukemochi highball, Pisgah Solstice beer, bacony brunch, mead or the return of Le Fromage Peee-Yew!

The Skinny Chef showed off her knife skills this week as the Hungry Bride contemplated her cocktail reception. We met grilling expert Gena Knox, who helped us kick off the grilling season with hanger steak and deviled eggs.

Cookbooks reviewed this week: Giada's latest, "A Homemade Life" and "Baking." Robert Kenner of "Food Inc." dropped in and we went west in search of Emeril's latest restaurant in a steel town awaiting its renaissance.

As you fire up the grill, check out our picks for five wine steals. Happy eating!

pepquino

This week at Slashfood we went crazy for tiny melons known as pepquiños. We also turned our attention to pernil, local fare, rhubarb tequila fizzes and "The Savoy Cocktail Book."

Frank Bruni is leaving his plum reviewing gig, leaving us -- alone -- to ponder how loud is too loud at a restaurant.

We met the CoffeeMeister, who joined Slashfood this week and immediately stirred the pot of conversation. The Hungry Bride talked party favors and the Skinny Chef fought fatigue. We reviewed "Made in Spain," "The Jewish Heritage Cookbook" and "How to Cook Everything (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition)." And we braved the Tofu Takedown.

As we head out for the weekend, heed this advice please: Now is the time to clean your fridge. NOW! Before it's too late.

mother's day cake
... Lest you forget. This week Slashfood had a James Beard Awards hangover and got over it by interviewing winners Nate Appleman and Gina DePalma. Maybe it was all the Mother's Day brunch cocktails, but later, we flashed back to the '70s and spinach dip.

The Brooklyn Food Conference made us hungry, we debated dining-room etiquette and walnut-maple suckers, and then learned to make rockin' guac. We met LeNell and got to know Slashfoodies Alex and Rebecca. And we said farewell to a beloved friend, Dom DeLuise. Sweet "Fatso"! We salute you!

The Skinny Chef talked chicken and pepperoni bread while the Hungry Bride used reader tips to assemble her D.C. welcome baskets. We reviewed the cookbooks "Potato Salad," "The Greens Cookbook" and "Babycakes."

Oh, and about your mama ... toast her on Sunday! We suggest beer.

pops
"It's Cinco de Mayo, dude! Where's my marg?"

Margaritas are lovely, yes, but sometimes the liver needs a break. And Mexico, of course, is no one-trick culinary pony. In fact, while ambling through the famously taco- and torta-laden neighborhood of Sunset Park, Brooklyn, last weekend, a compadre proselytized wildly about a maple-walnut popsicle right before running into traffic to lead us to the deli where it lived.

Traditionally no friend to the walnut unless it is candied, we were inclined to pass. Then we noticed that in this popsicle, walnuts were a minor player relegated to the stick end of the treat. We politely accepted a small bite. And then another.

And then we turned on our heel and ran back to the deli to rummage frantically through the cooler gleaming on the sidewalk: mango-lime, pistachio, egg nog. Egg nog?! Walnut! Where was it? Pops flew everywhere as, like a dog frantically chasing a mole burrowing underground, we went shoulder-deep into the icy cooler. Thank the stars, a lone, innocuous "nuez" pop remained.

bottle of pom iced coffeeAs we've noted, it's iced coffee time, folks. While we can all agree that the best version is that which is freshly brewed, sometimes you've got to make do with what can be grabbed out of the convenience store fridge. Starbucks' Frappuccino is a perennial favorite, and we're fans of their Doubleshot Energy Drink (especially the new Cinnamon Dulce flavor) when caffeine alone isn't quite enough.

Behold, however, a challenge to Starbucks supremacy from Pom Iced Coffee. Far from an unpleasant mix of joe and pomegranate juice (though it does feature a touch of the antioxidant-laced fruit extract), this is one smooth-blended iced coffee drink. The cafe au lait version is delightful, but it is the chocolate that may soon boast the title of best bottled iced coffee, with an addiction-inspiring taste reminiscent of a blend of Yoo-Hoo and chocolate Nestle Quik.

The only problem with this cooling nectar? It's only available at select stores and Whole Foods in the Northeast (though bottles have been spied at 99-cent stores on the west coast). If anything were to make a convenience store crawl or a trip to a pricey specialty grocer worth it, it is Pom Chocolate Iced Coffee. So stock up.

Note: Slashfood does not accept compensation of any sort in exchange for reviews.

Tradición del Día del Trabajador: empanadas de carne

It's May Day and Slashfood would like to celebrate with these Argentinean "worker" empanadas, but alas, they're in Argentina. Instead let's try to shake off the "Rap Chop" and disaster-cooking tales with this recap of Slashfood stories.

Favorite summer beers are a good place to start, or maybe you're pondering iced coffee weather while watching the new "Julie and Julia" trailer. There were Ostrich eggsperiments, egg creams and even Jell-O makeovers!

The Hungry Bride needs cake, the Skinny Chef had a love affair with an olive and Slashfood welcomed the Hadley grass and ate Tilston Point all the while avoiding scallop screwups. We reviewed: "Italian Food," "Nancy Silverton's Sandwich Book" and "Beef."

Enjoy the Derby and don't forget to name a Sweetheart!

sweet potato panzanella
On this New Moon we reflect on the bounties we've been offered on Slashfood this week:

The verdict's still out on the nation's best Italian food. Weigh in here. But it's in on the world's best restaurants and our picks for affordable wines.

We pondered Twecipes while the Hungry Bride wondered about starter cookbooks -- already "How to Cook Everything" has been suggested! The Skinny Chef built a better cupcake and started up her grill.
And we reviewed "Love and Knishes," "Wichcraft" and "Frank Stitt's Southern Table."

We learned how to make Montreal bagels, mint-infused bourbon and then ate dinner in a bubble. Then we flashbacked to Aunt Evie's '70s kitchen with sweet-and-sour chicken. Then we got hip to the future with bento boxes.

The nation's 11th largest brewery went Haywire. And we ate the rind.

Barbie's got a sweet tooth!?! iPods got hungry. And yes, oh yes, Brian Boitano got a food show!

"Bon Appetit!" as Julia might say.
