I think the type of cachaca used plays a big part. Playboy ranked the 20 best cachacas in 2007, a summary of which can be found below in portuguese....

that night – Pierna, Birria, and Asada – all were excellent. On a subsequent visit, I had a Torta de Pierna which was good, but not great On the last visit we again had tacos, sadly on commercial tortillas. They were...

some Summer savory or herbes de Provence. Serve over some toasted foccacia or ciabatta bread with Feta cheese topping.

with lemon grass Rating: ***** Tasted like tom ka gai (the Thai soup) - very well done. Jason Murphy/Jonathon Banta, 39 Rue de Jean/Coast Bar & Grill, Virginias Fried Chicken & Collard Greens Rating: ***** Outstanding. Juicy...

almond and dark with orange & coconut. Both were very good – more bitter than sweet. My major complaint...the prices. One scoop of ice cream was $3 and the chocolates were $1.90 a piece!! There is definitely more attention...

stocks here seemed better crafted than the heavier styles to me. We both like the appetizers here very much, these guys really know how to cook. Himawari holds onto its fourth place spot in the ramen rankings. PERSONAL RAMEN...

Tartufo affogato in Rome. I’d never heard of it before my first trip to Italy—bitter/sweet, hot/cold, brilliant/brilliant.

. The mescalun salad was very bitter, although colorful. I tried the prosciutto rissoto – it looked like cat vomit – and had a distinctly ricy texture, not creamy at all. The vegetable lasange ordered by my fiance was...

A16 is decent. Wood and not coal. I feel like their margherita was bland in flavor and the sauce was a bit too bitter. I assume they are using san marzano tomatoes (maybe canned) and don’t rinse them enough (I understand...

Big shift in my rankings this week. I think Stephanie has used up all her passes now after suffering near misses on consecutive weeks. Peanut butter and tomatoes, what the heck was she thinking? Lisa also continues to free fall...

You’re welcome! I lied about no more pastries. . . I just couldn’t help myself! I went to Le Chocolat de H just to look. Really, it’s true! But I ended up buying some little things—madeleines, florentines...

. It was also quite fatty, but not overwhelming so, with a delightfully crunchy skin to boot. The belly’s weight was simultaneously balanced by the sweetness from the carrot sauce and the pungent bitterness of the mizuna...

Anise 104, Laurier Ouest, Montréal, QC / 514 276-6999 6-course dinner: $65 (Canadian) / $110 with wine 9-course dinner: $90 (Canadian) / $140 with wine We went to Anise with high hopes and left with bitter disappointment and a...

What do you mean by a UK version of Guinness? As far as I know UK Guinness is exactly the same i.e. brewed in the UK in the same way from the same ingredients. I’ve had rank pints in Ireland although not as many as in...

dismaying at least for a cheap dude like me who was looking to spend less cash on superior tails. The short version: the oranges pretty much ranked by price. That is to say: Cointreau is king. I hate that, but it’s true....
