I just discovered an artisan fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese place in Northern California, BUBALUS BUBALIS ( http://www.realmozzarella.com/ )plus a place to buy it in Santa Barbara at Tri-Counties Produce. They send gift packs so...

Four of ventured out to Lebanon NJ to visit Artisan Kitchen, a restaurant that has been open for only a few weeks. The restaurant is located in Lebanon Plaza off of Route 22, sort of in the middle of nowhere. The restaurant is very...

Hi all- I’m headed to Artisanal tonight for the first time. What should I not miss? Thanks!

I never thought much about salami. They all seemed good to me. SF’s Columbus salami just put out an artisan line and the Crespone is wonderful. Who else is making amazing salami these days? At least in SF, artisan salami...

Are there any good artisan bakeries that aren’t chain stores (like Panera or La Madelaine) in the DC Metro area? Baltimore would be good, too, although I’m not as familiar with that location. Meanwhile, I gotta hold...

.) Anyhow, introduced myself to this talented new baker and promptly forgot his name. By the way, for $2 a croissant (plain or chocolate) this is the best deal around....'cept you need to find them at the bakery (I assume) or at...

St. Helena has a shop that sells olive oils, mustards etc., with lots of tasting. There is also a crazy new chocolate shop that looks like something from Paris. The tiny jewel like candies are very expensive. The place smells...

While eating at Pif with my girlfriend we both remarked that the bread they were serving was quite good. When we inquired where the bread came from we were told Artisan Boulanger Patissier on 12th street and Morris. Apparently...

Service i and miss there, been several times. Last time they messed up desert, but they sent over a plate of nice chocolates as an apology. The french onion soup is great, as is the chorizo fondue and (my fav) the chocolate fondue

Artisanal Brasserie in the Bravern Bellevue. We had lunch there on Tuesday. They were in the “soft opening” phase and were offering 20% while they worked out the kinks. Service was slowish. Our server seemed experienced but...
