of cole slaw, the price ($3.95) is not right. The meat, however, is quite a fair deal. The critical factor is that you can order precisely the amount you want. There is no paying $15.00 for a plate of food that is 30% more than...

incorporate exercise at all? Just curious. I have other (sociological) criticisms of these programs, which I won’t get into here.

after a while... I like the new site and it really does seem that the Chowhound team is listening to constructive criticism. I’m not saying it’s perfect, or that everyone’s negative points are invalid, but it...

of the guests, a notable food critic here, said that one restaurant was now charging £50 for a dish which a few months ago cost £35 (to serve three people – UK prices aren’t that bad yet!).

that I believe you were). The purpose of LUPA, if Mario explains himself properly when asked, is to represent the foods of Italy, but this is “his take on it”. Just as Mario’s Babbo serves beef cheek ravioli and...

Please – when are smaller fonts and more messages/screen coming to the message list? It would be best if both were adjustable, but at the very least we need to be able to see more messages at a time by default. For me,...

Very good point! In the show “Last Restaurant Standing,” which was filmed in Britain and is currently airing on BBC America, they have criticized chefs on several occasions for using unsustainable fish. They also have...

without its first format being huge a supercenter/hypermarket, and they’ve been criticized for supply chain abuses, much the same as Wal-Mart. Perhaps a little less like Wal-Mart, Tesco tends to do their homework and try to...

/pizza connection. I just don’t buy it as the source of the passion. I’ll tell you one thing – Dom sure ain’t turning out classic New York street slices, whatever the merits of his current style. Again, I...

Try okra steamed. The microwave works great for this. Use only small, fresh pods and cook them al dente. It is critical that you NOT overcook them to the point of sliminess! A little butter or whatever on it is nice. I leave the...

Hi idia, I’ve never tried Shun Lee although I remember the critic Mimi Sheraton of NY Magazine used to love it. When I’m up near Lincoln Center, I usually go to Fiorello’s for the antipasto seafood and vegetable...
