Ruth, The suggestion of Henry’s Hunan is a great one, especially since its history (glorious past, long lines out the door at one time) seems to have something in common with House of Nanking — except for the tourist...

. KM — yes, some family members really know how to work that guilt angle.

Small cafe with local, often organic ingredients, organic chicken, handmade cheese, good bread. Coffee from a local roaster. Unusual sodas in bottles. Several places like this in Los Angles. A little more expensive than the...

a lot of places that I read about here on CH. That’s all I need. But the title of this thread actually got me thinking about a different angle on this subject. I am one of the CHers who has a cookbook fetish and my...

I don’t know why they don’t use the daily small blackboard technique...more popular in Europe than here. I really like the big blackboard placed in an obscure part of the room, with poor writing and light shining on...

Peter, nothing is foolproof. Nothing in this world is completely invulnerable to carelessness, ignorance, accidents.You can damage any countertop material I can think of. A Le Creuset skillet or Dutch oven dropped at just the...

We noticed the inside the house camera angles while watching the show. Obviously the home owners knew this was coming. Who among us wouldn’t have gone out and stocked our kitchen with goodies (or at least what we deemed as...

That’s usually right on the money...except for yesterday at around 2:45 in the afternoon. I strolled in, angled toward the counter as the crowd waited to the right, looked Dom straight in the eye and instantly scored the...

in the way sometimes, but I’m sure the corporate types think upside-down camera angles are what The Kids are looking for these days. And Alton himself is actually rather wry — and he knows what he’s doing, which...
