flavor. I don’t want to eat a huge (that’s what they call “small”) bowl of sugary ice cream with even more sugary fixin’s when I want a satisfyingly deep, rich flavor.

seasoned with dried chiles and citrus juice. And the barbacoa! It was the real deal, rich and tender, just like the kind I got at La Monita. Delicious. Pico de gallo is an optional addition for tacos. The salsa they serve with...

, it will be the smooth sauce. It is also easier to get the taste to a grandchildren, if it is smooth. LOL I was the same way about Oyster stew. Give me the soup, without the oysters, but loved fried oysters. Go figure.

in the Deep South. Sundays are days for loving your family (and the Lawd) and most people do not want to be lovin' the barbecue pit beginning at 4 in the morning. As most Southern states put county names on their license plates,...

. Jill, you will love Hurley’s. The dining room is small and intimate, doting service, I enjoyed my Muscovie duck breast with the garlic cottage fries very much and they make a really nice heirloom cucumber salad that was...

— you need to order the fries as a side. it’s only going to get worse, folks. each individual needs to do what is right for their own wallet and financial peace-of-mind.

I always find that when you stir fry with whole dried chiles and then remove them they provide flavor but very little heat. I usually break them in half and dump out the seeds then crush up a little bit more so you can actually...

oops, i should have included that! 244 N Beverly Drive (Just North of Wilshire, before Dayton Way on the east side of the street) Open 10-10p Sun-Thur 10-11p on Fri/Sat 310.274.2435

It is great that so many people responding enjoy dining solo! Often this topic has mostly those who don’t care for it. I enjoy having some time for deep solitude on occasion. Since eating is an activity that I love, it falls...

. Steel Pig: I liked the sides. The ribs were not tender or very smoky when I tried them. Pig Wings are good. That’s smoked chicken that are then fried. You get six for about $4.50 and that means 6 actual wings as in 3 parts...

My best advice is to drive out to the boonies. I drove deep into Solano County last weekend and got a flat of divine peaches for five bucks. Made peach jam, peach ice cream, and this weekend will make peach pie. Look for decrepit...

I don’t think there are any places here that would get michelin 3 or two star ratings. A three star place is innovative, mindful of classical haute-cuisine tradition, gracious, beautifully appointed, FORMAL, bearing a deep...

chips, frozen Serenada chicken entree (to die for, really), Trader Giotto’s extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil for frying, 12-grain mini-crackers, tortilla chips, whole wheat couscous, vanilla extract,...

fried shrimp that I have ever experienced was from a tiny dive, with a big hole in the roof. There was only counter service and I usually took the food out, as the place was just not where you’d want to spend an hour. It even had...

after ordering a cheeseburger and fries, he left the restaurant. Thanks for the good press. He returns east tomorrow and will perform the Caroline1 test on his frozen raviolis with some homemade Rao’s sauce.
