Thai Curry from Jennifer Brennan's The Original Thai Cookbook, but would love to have another proven recipe. Chicago Magazine published a recipe from each of their top 20 best new restaurants and, coincidentally, has a Panang...

We’ve made that mistake before (luckily Brennan's is close by!). Barnacle Bill’s is a bar in Rumson. It opens at 4 or 5.

's a little more difficult. I like the “small plates” at Uva Bar, but don’t care for Catal as it’s a bit overwrought and very expensive. Depending on what you get, Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen can be OK,...

BTW, two more excellent resources/references for preserving: Chez Panisse Fruit (I love this book) The Glass Pantry by Georgeanne Brennan (out of print – maybe in the library)

I am (obviously) a bit more circumspect about Chicago dining. Last week, the New York Times reviewed Terrence Brennan's new seafood and chop house. It made me think that in New York, the dynamicisim generally comes from chefs not...

Believe you’re right, a lot of that brisket was never real good to start with. Truth to tell, I can’t recollect a brisket I favor over the steam-table brisket at Brennan's in Berkeley. No, it ain’t by any means...

4th St? It’s an upscale, outdoor shopping mall that accidently happens to have an ok restaurant or two. Easily the closest thing in Berkeley to LA or wherever our visitor is coming from. Plus it’s anchored with...
