Michael asks…
Can you grill steaks directly on charcoal?
So I’m watching Food Network last night and on one of the shows, the host grilled steak directly on charcoal. I mean, he removed the steel grate and put the meat right on the coal.
Is that safe and healthy and if so, can you provide any tips on cooking this way! Also, would you cook a filet mignon this way or what kind of steak would you cook this way?
Thanks in advance!
Michelle answers:
Personally, I would not want to do this because I would think that it would make the meat gritty. Who wants gritty steak? Maybe there is a trick to it. I’d check out the Food Network’s website and see if I could fine the recipe section.
Here’s a link.

Who knows about those strawberries that are supposed to make you climax?
A long while ago I saw on the food network these chocolate covered strawberries that are special because when you eat them they trigger a very sensitive part in your brain that has to do with pleasure, making you very close to climazing…is this for real? and where would they sell something like that?
Michelle answers:
I’m not a devotee of the food network, so I’ve never heard of this alleged product, but I’m skeptical that it exists. Eating chocolate will release dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in pleasure and reward, but I’ve never heard of any food product that will result in an orgasm. I do recall, however, that during the early days of SSRI antidepressants (a family that includes such drugs as Prozac) that some women taking these drugs found they would have orgasms while sneezing or yawning. This effect was discovered when one doctor found that his (female) patient didn’t want to discontinue the drugs, even after she was “better.”

What are the cable networks that you wouldn’t be willing to part with?
Cablevision recently dropped the Food Network and HGTV…but are these the cable networks you couldn’t stand to loose?

Paul asks…
Does a restaurant’s ambiance contribute to a customer’s judgment of the food served?
Experiments have been conducted regarding the overall effect of a restaurant’s presentation (cleanliness, service, appearances of dining area, etc.) on a typical customer’s resulting opinion of the food, all being driven from “first impression.”
Though a common bias from those interviewed by Food Network, I want to hear from you. Comment on any past experiences that you might have enjoyed a tasty meal, in spite of the unpleasant eating area or service, or visa versa.
Michelle answers:
Commuting in and out of New York City often, there are literally millions of restaurants in the town, what I have found and many other people around the area will tell you is that it’s often just the opposite here – often the largest places are known as “tourist” traps. The famous NYC restaurant Serendipity charged $25,000.00 a dish for ice cream yet the place was closed down by the board of health because inspectors found “mouse droppings” and many other violations http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/452119/famous_new_york_restaurant_serendipity.html?cat=51
On the other hand, many smaller “mom and pop” little cafes serve some of the best dishes in New York City.
