I’m a New Yorker planning a visit soon. This question may be a little vague, but I haven’t really found a good answer in other posts: If you had only one dinner to eat in Chicago, and price was no object, where would...

I don’t have any specific restaurant recommendations...I've only passed through Potes en route to other spots, but the big culinary claim to fame in and around Potes is the cheese. Queso Picón Bejes-Treviso and the quesucos...

[I wasn’t sure if this post belonged in the Mid-Atlantic or Tri-State board, so I've put it in both. Hopefully this isn’t bad chowhound karma] What surprised me most about Mekong Vietnamese Restaurant was how long it...

Hi Cabrales, Does this query indicate that Chicago will soon be honored by another of your visits? If I remember correctly, you weren’t specially thrilled by your dinners in the city the last time around (although you were...

.99 Murray’s.) That said, coincidentally, tonight my girlfriend and I are cooking up a pair of their (Lobel’s) porterhouse steaks, which I've found to be the closest thing one can get (at home) to Lugers. God only...

thanks for a quick response, cabrales. will definitely try the game at le cinq, per your earlier post. any suggestions for bristol? do they have a prix fixe menu?

Oh well. Looks like we won’t be going for a while. We’re a group of 4, and we still want to go out on that night as a consolation prize. I’m thinking Dumonet, Annisa, or David Burke & Donatella. Lever House might...

as soon as I taste the two you help me pick. To give you an idea of what I like in dessert wines, the majority of what I've had are moscatos or moscato d’astis. My favorite so far is Michele Chiarlo...

Cabby— What does bar menu mean? Is this a menu that is available only at certain times? I've had that monkfish liver and I agree, it is superb. Would the bar menu allow for someone to come and perhaps have a glass of wine...

Cabrales with all due respect to your fine opinion, in this case I really have to strongly disagree. I happen to really be a big fan of Blue Hill. The duck in my opinion is the best that New York has to offer but on a blow by...

I've had remarkably similar experiences at Dumonet. I too have been there twice now. My first trip was about a month or two ago, and I went largely because of Cabrales' recommendation. I had a very nice meal indeed, the highlight...

having a nice bottle of wine, either! And I tip well, too. One can debate the ethics of all this (and I’m that people will do so, as soon as I've posted this). But I personally feel that dinners at IM are very fairly...

the butcher had gribbenes on sale. Moral of the story, never buy gribbenis from a Mohel. Enjoy, Gary Link: http://pbs-juliachild.virage.com/cgi-bin/visearch?user=pbs-juliachild&template=template.html...

all night. I affirmatively wanted to like the food; I just couldn’t report particularly favorably. (But note that I've been disappointed by most restaurants in NY, so my observations should be taken in that context.) We were...

Thanks rednyellow and woofer; somehow it slipped by me. Will check it out soon!
