Tell The Takeout what we should write about next
　　Hello! 　　The Takeout is intended to be a two-way conversation. We’re not just shouting into the abyss, but writing specifically for you, the reader. We’re grateful for your nice comments, for when you call us out for doing something dumb, for holding us accountable. 　　Often in a story’s comment section...

Let's settle the debate: Is hot dog water broth or stock?
　　Never let it be said that we at The Takeout don’t pay attention to our readers. On the whole, we find you a delightful bunch. As we slave away at our keyboards for many hours a day, sending out a metric ton of words into the anonymous internet stratosphere, really,...

I’ll concede, toasted English muffins make a decent burger bun
　　Earlier this month, we engaged in a civil discussion about the merits of various burger buns—potato rolls, pretzel buns, brioche. But commenter Proud Hamerican said we were all misled, because the true best burger bun is an English muffin. I couldn’t very well let that claim stand uninvestigated. 　　Photo: Kate...

I tried every conceivable cereal-liquid combination
　　Some weeks back, dear readers, I asked you a question. 　　Cheerios in tea: What next? (No seriously, what next)We are apparently living in the golden age of people putting liquids that aren’t milk in their… 　　Read more 　　I wondered what other liquids might possibly work as a pour-over for cereal....

How to make Chex Mex, my Southwestern spin on Chex Mix
　　In last week’s Takeout Draft of salty snacks, I mentioned that I mispronounced Chex Mix as Chex Mex for most of my adolescence, which planted the seed of an idea for DIY Tex-Mex-spiced Chex Mix. At least one commenter urged me on, which is all it took to send me...

What if we blended a Beyond Burger... with beef?
　　This week, The Takeout staff was inspired by a comment from Otto42.5 in a story about who actually eats Beyond Meats/Impossible Burgers (it’s not vegans). That comment: 　　This intrigued us on many levels. But let’s attack this challenge backwards: We’ll make its first—let’s call these Halfway Beyond Burgers—and explain whether...

Adding egg nog to your coffee is winterific
　　Throughout my early twenties, Coffee Mate creamers kept my morning routine interesting. I’d give a nod to the changing of the seasons by adding a little Pumpkin Spice creamer to my convenience store drip coffee, or spruce up a watery, disappointing mug of Keurig (the machine was a hand-me-down, okay?!)...

Oh my god my turkey has not thawed properly
　　It’s my first time not going home for Thanksgiving, and since my boyfriend and I are essentially merging households with another couple for the winter, we’re spending the day with them. Several of us, myself included, are Thanksgiving traditionalists, so we knew we wanted a turkey—but we’re also bad to...

The monks of Assumption Abbey have sold out of fruitcake!
　　Last week, we published a feature on Assumption Abbey, a secluded Missouri monastery almost entirely funded by sales of old-school fruitcake. The monks spend most of the year meticulously crafting two-pound fruitcakes, which are then shipped to customers all over the world. In the article, I expressed mild concern about...

Ask a pizza maker: All your crusty queries, answered
　　Last month we put out a call to see if you home cooks out there had any questions for a professional pizzamaker, and you responded in droves. Well, some of you had questions, and the rest of you grew distracted by smack talkin’ about the best and worst pizza styles....

Readers, your PB&J suggestions are a delight
　　A few weeks ago in our Last Call column, we asked you what your favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwich combinations were. And honestly, I was surprised at the sheer volume of answers we received, putting my wheat bread/Skippy Natural/store-brand grape jelly combo to complete shame. Some of you suggested...

Here’s what you all have to say about that blasted candy map
　　We at The Takeout cannot deny that we love drama—specifically, drama of the lowest order. Our staff is always coming up with ways to fabricate utterly inconsequential (and genial) discussions about our favorite foods, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. And there’s no better season for these (polite,...
