is inpursuitoftea.com. I particularly like the design, and their "one minute tea tip," available by free email subscription is very informative—usually a very interesting article on the history, preparation, etc. of tea. My...

uses no thickening at all in her sauce. So much deliciousness for $5. I’m still vetting the Chinese-American tip. In the meantime, I tried the curry tomato beef chow mein at U-Lee on the Hyde St. cable car line. This has the...

culling. It seems to me that so far, Dunlop has been a great success and there has been a ton of really interesting discussion. The tips and stories about ingredient searches (and substitutions) alone have made it worthwhile!...

for 100 people at the governor’s mansion for a tail party. Steph’s edge is that she gets to assign sou chefs. Four ex-contestants. Steph grabs Dale, of course, keep him away from Richard. Sends Spike to Richard, thanks...

. There are very few restaurants with “NY quality” ambiance, but there are plenty with good food. Tessaro’s, like others suggested, is great for a burger. I also like Soba Lounge (Pan-Asian and excellent tails)...

Interesting tip honkman – can you share more? Maybe in a separate post?

"6. custard pastry from oriental pastry – very good, not overpoweringly sweet" Uh, what???? Am I missing something. Where is this place? I’d add: A tail from the Brooklyn Social Club If Fragole, go on their 1/2 price...

Definitely, and the signage design is pretty bad too, but it seems a worthy addition to the area, although certainly more pricey than most other businesses around there. Thanks for the tips on the pubs; Razzy’s is the one I...

I totally agree. If anyone asks I am always more than willing to share. And sa MS says in quoting JP no 2 or 10 chefs are going to make it the same way. We belong to a dinging group and often for our annual tail parties more than...

I finally tried that ginger spread—thanks for the tip! I found it on the shelf across from the chicken. Have you noticed that shelf always has random, interesting items? While waiting on the express line, I saw some fancy...

. For a party of 3 to 6 hours for 16 people, I would usually assume 8 to 10 total bottles of wine would cover, although I would always have some extra on hand. I note that you plan to offer beer and maybe tails also, so this is...

is there solely to prepare the finest meal, just for you (one of 10 people that entire evening). A great experience! But as others have pointed out, it’d have to be ~$800 to cover 2 people for the evening (including tax /...

, thanks for the tip!). 2. I may have been burned by one too many uninteresting French wines that I have randomly tried from the SAQ. For example, we recently had a tasting of 20 bottles, ranging from $9-25, to try to find a wine...

otherwise impossible to find. We’ve gotten some good Scarsdale tips, but there is LOTS of treasure in surrrounding towns. Read through this board, and drive around and discover stuff for yourself. That’s more than half...

I disagree on Dos Caminos – at least, on the service. Had the best service ever at the SoHo location. I actually left a 25% tip.
