soup, it looked like Campbell’s cream of chicken to me. This dish was three days in the making. Apparently the soup starts out as clear, deepens to brown, and then becomes this rich shade of yellow. The fish maw was the...

dan tart (egg tart), pandan and black sesame flavors. I’m not an expert on Southern BBQ but Hill Country has really good Texan BBQ. I've brought a lot of Singaporean friends there and they loved the experience (it has a very...

to me, that i feel he and his businesses are chow-worthy and i must go back. i had just ridden my bike on a very cold, windy day from wicker park to skokie to get bagels and corned beef at kaufman’s bakery, then back down...

I've been reading the thread on the Outer Bouroughs board that began with a cafe review and ended in vitriolic statements about how awful “Joe Park Slope” and his wife and child are and what idiots everone save the...

Yes, i've heard it’s HOT in the entire rest of the country (120 in North Dakota!), even including the usually cooler northwest, but here in SF the fog has blown in, and as usual for late afternoon, regardless of the season,...

This is a good question but I don’t know that you’ll be able to find a specific answer. Just like we have regional foods and flavors so does Mexico. Sonoran Mexican food tastes different than other regions I've...

Stephanie is a class act. The pork belly left out much have really upset her, but you’d hardly know it. She was dignified and afforded Dale with the same dignity when he messed up. Hard to tell yet, but it looks like they'...

I've always thought bottled water was one of the silliest things on earth. I have particularly tasty water right out of my own tap. For folks who likey fizzy water, that’s a different story. Now researchers have done blind...

Well, niki, you've just made the carrot sticks I've been eating at my desk seem wholly unappealing. I went to See’s site and it looks fab. Went to place an order but the shipping to the UK costs close to $50! Whoa. Woe! I...

I’d like some input on the subject from the chow community at large. Recently, I reviewed a very old Greek restaurant in Portland, Oregon for an alternative weekly. I had anticipated that the restaurant would be charming,...

people demand, so I feel obligated to deliver them. This year’s batch has some novelties, not all were 100% successful but overall I am pleased. By the way, where I’m from the nine kinds of cookies I've made so far is...

in the cinnamon sugar. I’m a bit reluctant to do that with him since I’m sure he’ll eat the dough and I don’t want the eggs to make him sick. Do any other parents have good ideas? Ideally I’d like him...

I've really enjoyed reading everyone’s memories... it’s sad what’s happened to our country... everyone is so disconnected now. I’m 34 and grew up in a small town. I remember being very young and having a...

for fee – but I haven’t tried their service. We are also getting the first Trader Joe’s in Queens opening soon off of Woodhaven on Metro so that is another plus. Let’s hope the trend continues.

I like a different dog for different days Day 1- Cooked to a crisp, with Goldens and sauerkraut, on a toasted potato roll. Day 2- throwback from my days as a chow pup, experimenting in the kitchen- wrapped in a warm tortilla with...
