Comment on Texas sheet cake by allison from Dallas

either way, its our family favorite-the paper i wrote the recipe down on is dog eared, yellow and tattered, and now LOST (hence i looked up SHEATH CAKE on google)but it says “Texas Sheath Cake” on the top in my 9 year old handwriting.

no canola oil though in my recipe and you cook the chocolate in both stages–the cocoa is NEVER in the dry ingrediants–thats down right BLASPHEMOUS!

I’m craving Portillo’s chocolate cake right now which is how I discoverd your post. In my crave-addled brain, I obviously can’t spell or properly punctuate!

I was in the drive-thru at the downtown Chicago Portillo’s and I saw an employee carry out to the trash a HUGE opaque garbage bag filled with nothing but empty cake mix boxes. This is not me relaying what “my hairdressers cousin’s next door neighbor heard about from a guy who’s uncle used to work at Portillo’s”. I saw this with my own eyes. Since I’d heard that mayo is the secret ingredient in Portillo’s chocolate cake (which I love love love), I came to realize that it is just just good old Duncan or Betty with mayo in place of the vegetable oil.

That coffee sounds really good right now and most of the time. Did you really fall asleep at your table? lol. I would’ve taken a picture if I was there.

Sounds fantastic! I’ve been wanting to try Table Fifty Two! That cake sounds scrumptious!

I’m with Joan, that hummingbird cake sounds divine! Nice to see Art get his own place and bring a little of his Southern style to Chicago.

I’m in love with this commercial because it confirms my suspicions that people of truly great taste prefer the stomach-cancer-inducing effervescence of diet coke. Also, I’m almost positive that Colicchio and Achatz are ‘friends’ and that this was not meant as derrogatory to Achatz in any way. I think it’s more of a jibe at people who try to mimic Alinea but with no regard to taste. I’m not sure, but I am sure in love with Diet Coke.

We actually did the restaurant menu design for a place very similar to this. There in west loop. I believe they were called 160 Blue.

Comment on White truffle salt by nina

I spied some white truffle salt at William Sonoma (900 N Michigan) as well. It also had real bits of truffle in it. Though I didn’t buy and try, the saleman claimed that it was powerfully aromatic.
