I love this story! What a great day. I’ve always been moved by seemingly small acts that mean so much more in the final calculation. Vinho Verde is a great summer wine, picnic wine. It’s pretty dry, generally but has... (17 replies, last updated by Val August 23, 2006)

the lightest, wateriest single espresso I have ever had. These were USD 300 + meals, mind you, not some regular, every day brasseries. This got me to thinking about what I am used to as an American. When I was trained for my first... (78 replies, last updated by fara June 23, 2007)

I don’t think I have ever seen another style! What is 'American' Style? Cut with the left? Or cut and eat with the right (putting down the knife after cutting)? If the latter, then if no knife is needed does it matter... (274 replies, last updated by Das Ubergeek November 6, 2009)

I suspect that I probably have only eaten americanized chinese, but when someone asks for a recommendation for that type of a restaurant, what are they expecting? And if it isn’t americanized then what would they be... (165 replies, last updated by hungryungry March 10, 2009)

The ACT's at 415 Geary (which is over by Union Square) and is playing American Buffalo by David Mamet. It’s great if anyone wants to go see it. Anyway, I’m looking for a great, neighborhoody, unusual place nearby.... (4 replies, last updated by sflboogie January 22, 2003)

Anyone eaten at the Sage American Grill in New Haven lately? Have they cleaned up their act at all. Previous high prices, mediocre service and food were a real comedown from the Chart House of several years ago at the same... (5 replies, last updated by Dave B June 15, 2004)

Hey Steven, It sounds like you might be referring to American supermarket cheese. It’s terrible and seems closer to the food at McDonanald’s than anything else. Have you tried any cheeses made by small producers? Some... (156 replies, last updated by pikawicca March 16, 2008)

Hi, I live in NW DC and always drive by American City Diner on Connecticut Ave. It looks like a cheap, but homey place. I love to hear what people thought of their food? You never know with old diners it can be great grub or... (9 replies, last updated by Daniel K January 29, 2005)
