of the night was the Thai appetizer (that I do not know the name of) courtesy of Wendy & Rob – quite the flavor explosion. A HUGE thank you to Abby and Dennison for making this happen. It was a unique evening and your...

with the traditional. Pumpkin pie three ways: one with cushaw, one with kaboche, one with pumpkin. I did this with friends one year and it was really interesting tasting the different flavors. The cushaw tastes more like...

chains – resteaming milk is just bad for texture and taste. That, to me, is a bigger crime perpatrated by the mermaid than all the overroasting of the espresso blends. Resteaming results in a drink that is begging to be...

range of flavors and variety. Here there’s mainly lowfat and nonfat yogurts and flavors are limited to fruits or vanilla. We buy an imported Greek-style yogurt but it involves a 45-minute drive each way. In Canada we found...

- not something I could eat every day – but wow, it was spectacular. The flavors of the meat, cheese, arugula, and carmelized onions all complimented one another perfectly, the meat was juicy and perfectly done medium, and...

It might be interesting to try the BevWizard against other aerating pourers. Hmmm ... a blind tasting at the Chow picnic using different devices? Yeah, I know, no booze allowed, it would be interesting though. Anyway, thanks for...

munchies that aren’t sushi.

a two mile drive, and if you are seeking anything British, head to an area specialty store because this store chain is afraid to be true to its heritage and favors local Mexican flavors. Even at the Wal-Marts in Mexico City you...

Chiptotle’s food rocks (for a chain). We just moved here from Colorado, where they started out. The carnitas is great, especially when paired with their hot salsa. The carnitas on their own with cheese in a soft taco is...

Uh, well...small kitchen, midsummer, hot as hell outside, hot as f*** behind the line. The butter kept on hand for finishing sauces was a liquid pool & the wines, oils and booze used for cooking were probably approaching 100° in...

Then given the dearth of basic ingredients available to a chef (certainly in terms of flavors) you have absolutely made the point that a chef can be an artist. Thanks you!

own meals almost religiously. The weekdays tend to be meals that are flavorful yet painless. Saturdays and Sundays tend to be splurge days when I see nothing wrong with cooking for 3 hours for one person.

Don’t think there is anywhere else- outside strict Muslim countries that outlaw booze or restrict it to hotels for foreigners – with a drinking age as high as 21. That is nuttiness imposed by MADD. Didn’t exist...

the continent especially Germany and eastern Europe that are a cut above (in my opinion) especially the tortellini, sausages / wurst and some cheeses (plus cheap booze). There are several good Italian markets/delis in central...
