Put down the hamburger: Trader Joe's is recalling some ground beef and onions. Generally we love Joe's food, but listeria monocytogenes? Ick! In fairness to TJ's, all supermarkets go through recalls now and then, and it could be far worse -- at the Safeway in the Mission, we've seen them changing ceiling tiles above the uncovered produce.

Some fights seem really really important to the folks involved, and utterly mystifying to everyone else. You know like when you see two pigeons fighting over a hamburger bun, and you can't decide which one to root for because it seems like they both want the same thing and they'd just be better off sharing? Or another example: the unnecessary feud going on at the Cable Car Museum.

Adding to the estimable Alternative Press Expo coverage by Jeremy comes a little more APE coverage, albeit a teensy bit late. (Hey, its been a busy week!) Among our favs of the day were local art collective Germart and of course, Ker-Bloom, which we blogged about here .

Update: Four-year-old Penelope told the nurses at the hospital "I love this place," and had hot chocolate, Cheerios, and a hamburger. James left the car on Saturday morning saying he'd be back by the afternoon but Kati and the girls haven't seen him since. They had gathered wild berries but were afraid to eat them in case they were poisonous.

What is it with geeks and spicy food? RSA, the computer security company, and Electronic Arts are engaged in a friendly eat-off competition at the Prince of Wales pub in San Mateo to see which local company can eat the most of the pub's signature hot pepper hamburgers, which are about a hundred times hotter than an average jalapeno (made with peppers two times as hot as the kind you buy in stores). Last year, EA won and RSA came in fourth.

When looking for expertise on cookies, we turn to Amber Adrian, aka the Moose in the Kitchen, who has extensive experience making and eating them. So much we asked her to shed some light for us on the hot cookie scene in San Francisco. This is part one of a multi-part series, part II a week from today.

We could easily keep our eyes off the July issue of GQ. Sure, there was Jessica Simpson on the cover, but her titties and teeth and perkiness are all so fake, we are strangely unappetized by her. We only mention her so those who ogle on google will find us. On the other hand, at the bottom right of GQ’s cover, there was a more salivating little item, which Sarah, who lives the delicious life in Los Angeles, noticed for us: Cheezboiger! Cheezboiger! In Search of the Greatest Hamburger in the nation. The best burger in the US, we’re all for it. As Sarah -a poet- would say: if you want some easy fun, grab a bun.
