“white” food—mashed potatoes, vanilla ice cream. For those who can’t/won’t cook we pooled monetary donations and bought a gift certificate to a company that will deliver home style meals—great...

parents, Katerina and Giacinto. The result is very authentic Italian, but not necessarily with a complete focus on Apulia. Giac has travelled extensively, and he received most of his training in New York. Hence, his cooking style...

Pizza from a Chef Boy-ar-dee pizza kit. Swanson TV dinners (preferably Salisbury steak). French fries with chicken gravy on top. Rocky Road ice cream.

eaten at the quasi-Park District lunch wagon “Rincon del Sabor,” which hangs out at the North end of the park near Kedzie, on Saturdays at least. I strolled by and noted its astounding variety of pork products and...

for a baguette, some procuitto, olives and oh yes, cheese (you’ll think you were in Florence). Eric’s is good for Chinese but if ANYONE can come up with a good New York style Chinese that delivers or Ray’s type...

, one of the only sushi restaurants in the world with a female chef, is also very good. It is also one of the few (only?) places that serves up fried locusts, a delicacy of Northern Japan. For other non-sushi fare, the grilled...

then most. I also like Pont Leveque (sp?) which is a classic orange rind (=bitter and generally not eaten) cheese. Also try Rebluchon in this style as well. Since you like gouda – a hard cheese in that vein but different is...

't as helpful as being taught the foundations for the cuisine and related information that helps you get more than just a recipe from the show. Like rather than just showing how to make a chinese stir fry include information...

Any "Monterey Park Style" Chinese restaurant on the West Side of Los Angeles. Unless I missed something special.

Phooey. I can groove on the high end stuff as much as the next person, but when I want to uncover the best fried chicken in the area, I post here and find out. (De Breaux, hands down) My quest for hotdogs that rival the ones of...

I am shocked that everyone here still actually watches the food network. All things being said, I am fine with balance in programming, the food network just does not want to give us any. All the shows are the same...same style...

tastes like tacos to me – good tacos, but tacos nevertheless. I think it’s just me. I’m proficient at a half dozen ethnic cooking styles. This one just eludes me. The tortilla recipe came off the bag of masa...
