of the worst (and this is only because I only go to tried and true Indian restaurants) Indian food I have had in New York. The whole fish in curry was oversalted, lukewarm, and in a muddy curry paste that tasted like it was...

tourists from out of state, but that does not necessarily make it a bad place to eat. In fact, the whole purpose of this message board is to sort out the good places from ones that are merely popular. I agree with you that...

range. That said, they’re also savvy enough to appreciate value, so they’d rather not buy their rugelach at Balducci’s when the same pastries are available at the baker’s outlet in Brooklyn at a fraction...

Zealand style, and matching wine with truly good Thai food is a whole different ball game than the rule of thumb – asian food/sweet, floral wine. A sweeter Riesling would be a disastrous match with the One Bite salad, in...

and beginning to turn? And, frankly, who cares if he’s a genius at preparing stale flesh? We’re talking about RAW MEAT. If the fish is old, if you have to be a VIP to be considered for the fresh stuff, if those...

caramel dessert, but it has gone downhill recently. I agree with you whole heartedly on Ruth’s Chris—the best steak around. I usually prefer Morton’s over Ruth’s Chris, but in Irvine the Ruth’s Chris...

potica can sometimes cause a rift :) Those who don’t make it buy, and often don’t divulge their sources. We, a non-Slavic family who lived in Duluth (but my father worked often on the Range for the mining company, and...

Wow, it’s just so weird. I’m generally very sensitive to over-salted food. I have never found S&C’s too salty. Never! I also don’t totally agree that the plain slice is the only way to go. Well, let me...

. Unlimited weekly pass is $20. It’s available at both airports when you arrive. Or alternatively, buy 2 (or 3) daily passes (daily = each 24 hour period, starting from first use/validation) at $5 each. the unlimited pass is...

compare. I say avoid the whole Punch/Nea/Luce debate and go to Red Savoy’s or Carbone’s for “old style” Minnesota pizza. If you must have pizza. I love Mercado Central. It is very authentically Mexican. I...

It’s Sasha’s, and I was there about a month ago buying half sour pickles, which is the only place in town that has them as far as I know.

: broccoli trees with dip-dip, hot dog men, veggie pancakes in airplane shapes — the pressure is off and food ceases to be a power struggle. One poster had a great story about rating the “yuck” factor of foods...

Yes, I was going to recommend Honeycrisps too. I’ve seen them sporadically at Wild Oats and Whole Foods.

the easiest way to do so is to bring your own. It’s a lot cheaper to make your own tuna salad (and healthier too), or to buy cold cuts, hummus, etc.

The whole point of the Chow Tour is to avoid the well known places and uncover new finds not already discussed on Chowhound. Like the obscure truck stop found via a fender bender in the latest Chow Tour installment, this mission...
