, is universally very, very good, but the New Haven pie is a different animal — it’s coal oven cooked, very thin crust and lightly topped with high quality ingredients, and served in almost an oblong shape that is cut...

? Again, I’ll be in Chicago for an entire month so have plenty of time to explore. I’m also keen on visiting any interesting foreign food-type markets/grocery shops to buy fresh ingredients etc for cooking. Appreciate...

akin to homemade, slow-cooked kraut. The cheese was good and so was the dressing. And the fresh fries were particularly tasty and piping hot. But nary a condiment on the table, not even salt, and I hesitated to ask for catsup or...

would rank ambiance equally important for this special dinner. I am a food writer and a cooking school owner who recently moved here from Chicago, so I can use a little help. We have traveled to the City quite a bit and eaten at...

was kidding. ;o) They are the only rings that even come close to my ideal (those made by a long-closed place on Nostrand Ave. in Brooklyn, NY – Senior’s...mmmm). Not quite a batter, not quite a crumb coating –...

Yeah? They use ketchup in the hot and sour soup and the sweet and sour sauces in chinese cooking, as I’ve heard....ketchup with orange juice.

every menu everywhere but Sansei’s version is perfectly marinated and cooked and a dish I will remember. We ate here again our last night on the island and sat at a table. Ordered the calamari salad in a spicy vinaigrette which...

It also appears in Cooking for Mr. Latte. She basically reccomends bringing a salad nicoise with good tuna and with the greens in a separate ziploc bag to be added in when it’s time to serve. hard boiled eggs, peeled in a...

a 1 to 1 ratio of empty beer bottles to habanero stems. Given the inconsistency I find getting truly spicy food in restaurants, I usually resort to cooking at home when I’m in the mood for something volcanic. Puree some...

Brazilian tropical fruit, cooked or raw – like pitanga and pitomba and the other eugenia variety fruit.

't read the ticket correctly and bring both plates? The line cook makes one entree and is not informed of the timing of the other (if in fact the clay pot dish took longer to prepare)? The waiter NEVER comes back to check his...

This is one of the main reasons why I don’t eat at these places. Typical corporate hacks that will do anything to make money or shill a customer. Plus, their food is so overrated and prepared by unskilled line cooks in 80%...
