to those treasures out here. Hope you can find some of them in your market. I have a couple of wonderful wine pals in Georgia. Chuck and Memy Miller were here a few months ago and we had a feast at R&G Lounge in SF. He is leading...

Jessie Wong’s dim sum joint has decent grub (I’ve ordered out, and not dim sum though), but it’s pricier than other options, as most Columbia MD places are. I mean, I went to a sushi joint in Columbia, a small...

Yes, Pat—and while we’re discussing literature, there’s a GREAT, quite short scene in Anna Karenina set in a restaurant where two of the characters are dining that speaks volumes about the Russian society of the...

Say, you’re not a DiFara’s co-owner are you? No. It’s just that I get so fed up and bummed out with all the bad, unloving food in the world that I get a little excited when I find an oasis. And I love to tell...

. If you do want to go to a four star, I think Chez Panisse would be your best bet. The focus on impeccable produce would lend itself well to vegan dining. French Laundry would also be a good option. In both cases, you should...

on dining. I want to have dinner at some of the classic places such as Antoine’s, Gallatoire’s, Brennan’s, Commander’s Palace, Emeril’s etc and am wondering if these places live up to their...

dishes at Chinese restaurants mentioned on the board instead of armchair dining. I mean it is no big deal. It’s like everything else on the board. You put it out there, sometimes you get an answer, sometimes you dont. Sort...
