appetizer with marscapone cheese, and both Gnocci’s for primo are lovely, but I prefer the Gnocci with fresh mozzarella chunks. a little touristy, but also a local’s favorite. if you have a craving, they may make it....

Sangria made with Apricot Brandy ...then I wholeheartedly recommend you eat there. It’s kind of busy on Sunday nights because it’s full of the industry crowd – which in my opinion is always a great sign if they...

for breakfast. If you were doing a picnic, the Rosti Roti chicken is fabulous. Oustanding baked goods like Downtown creamery and Acme. Wonderful cheese like Andante. Stellar fruits and veggies and all sorts of food gifts you can...

Very well said! It is a small plate / tapa style menu so see the bread basket as part of that. Especially house made specialty bread, which is time consuming and difficult to make.

, after all ;-) Your recommendation for a place in Chinatown with carts, that has good food? Sunday evening: I’ve already made a reservation for the Slanted Door. The person who took the reservation was a bit surprised that...

and if one made it, I probably wouldn’t even agree with which one they had chosen. Parker’s was our only representative. I was wrong to guess that I would disagree with Gourmet’s chosen Cleveland representative....

You made the point I was going to (there is a reason to read replies before posting!) — “gourmet” and for that matter, “gourmand” sound stilted and annoying. I don’t want to eat with a...

stop out of Manhattan), has very good Southern-style breakfasts, and is (in my Southern opinion) the best place in the city to breakfast. Cheese grits, perfectly scrambled eggs, Virginia country ham, and very good biscuits, all...

- which is higher end – are in the genre of pricey-casual, meaning you won’t get multi course tasting menus and stuffy service, but you will pay higher than usual prices for simple, well-executed dishes made with...

the FDA also suggests we shouldn’t consume cheese that hasn’t been pasturized.... letting meat sit out of the refridgerator for an hour is not a big deal. the FDA’s ultra conservative regulations have swayed...

I actually really liked the food at Aziza (a friend took me for my bday in June), but the service was literally CRAZY. The waitress kept making slightly “off” comments, culminating in the one she made when she...
