I prefer thicker-cut fries that still have a bit of fluffiness and flavor of potato in the middle over the nothing-but-crust of shoestrings. Another bottle of wine was ordered. Finally our mains arrived, again with apologies. The...

water, but brushed my teeth with tap. I was fine. Just make sure you don’t eat fruit unless the skin is peeled (obviously fruits like bananas are fine) and don’t eat salads. As long as stuff is cooked, you should be...

ingredients its absurd that most places cut corners. Those super-sized sugar bombs with stabilizers at Starbucks are a prime example of a bad scone. In my view, Tartine’s scones are are no better than any properly made...

I bet the fella who owns Larry’s Dogs on Burbank Bl near Hollywood Way would cut you a deal on raw VB natural casing dogs. It would be worth asking him... Do you not like the PS Old Fashioned Franks? See ya Steve Link:...

recipes that I come back to time and again, including rajas con crema, carne asada, pollo in pipian verde (a green mole sauce) and grilled shrimp. One thing to keep in mind about Mexican food is that it really doesn’t lend...

-depressants). That said, it’s nice to indulge every once in a while. And a $400 pre-fixe comes with the territory when you live in an expensive place like NYC, agreed. But come on, we could all stand to cut back a little....

pudding, a good biscuit, a terrible donut, good chocolate banana cake, good decaf, ok OJ, and some of the best pineapple we’ve ever eaten. Between the two of us, we probably ate almost two whole pineapples (although it comes...

of it here. I use a combo of boneless pork shoulder cut into cubes (usually you can get this at the grocery store already cubed, at Safeway it says pork cubes for sweet and sour pork) and bacon. My favourite recipe involves...

, mouthwatering, supersharp taste and a luscious semidry texture – it breaks into sheets when cut - we always bring at least 5 lbs back to Brooklyn when we go. There used to be small cheese factories where you could get...
