deals. For a real, japanese owned sushi joint, they also do Teppanyaki. Also, don’t be mislead by the decor. I think it used to be some sort of Austrian or Bavarian type of restaurant and the owner didn’t bother...

turned into that horrible mixed-fare place with “Hat Dogs” and “The Best Tacos & Burritos In Tawn” - I can’t believe I never took a photo of that sign! It was a Chicago classic. The Buffalo Ice Cream...

Old Vienna has excellent and hearty Bavarian homestyle food; schnitzels are great and big, the duck is the best I’ve had in the LA area. But they may be half-empty because the service is mediocre considering dinners with...

with a sunny side up egg, ham, cheese and mushrooms—it comes folded in a square, framing the yolk.) Also, the Fjord with smoked salmon, lemon, basil and sour cream is perfect. There is a wonderful, quiet garden out back,...

I would look into the roseaca issue. Fairly common among people of German, Dutch, Irish, and some other nationalities. Basically, people with what is refered to as "peaches and cream complexions". If that doesn’t apply, read...

Thats funny, I did the same but from Germany to the States with about a dozen Bavarian Pretzels....Damn I couldn’t take the keg !!!

chic, thin, German women taking an afternoon pastry break. They consume huge pastries, frequently topped with extra whipped cream. Then they WALK home. In my town there are many school children who have no safe way to walk to...

Shawnee salt & peppers, cookie jars, old wooden rolling pins, Franciscan Ware Autumn. There are many things on my “to collect” list but until the kitchen is remodeled...Bavarian tomatoes and more that I just...

cream, and cheese nips. Their specialty is in “prepared-but-not-frozen foods”, so think refrigerated sandwiches, refrigerated cooked pasta, and refrigerated Thai rice bowls. It’s a bit like buying leftovers from...

what brand it was: Iron ty, Genesee Creamed, z...it was all weasel pee.

countries when they emigrate because they sure seem to forget how to cook when they come to this country! And four of the five “Greek” restaurants I’ve tried here in the Plano/Dallas area make their tzatziki...

I think economics has a lot to do with it. In college (late 80s) I was drinking the junk beers (e.g. Mickey’s Malt, National Bohemian, Genessee Cream Ale) purely for cost reasons. At the same time, I had sampled Pilsner...
