Too much of our culture is concerned with sacrificing quality for the sake of easiness. If a manual ice cream machine produces better results, that’s definitely the way I’ll make it. Other 'hounds opinions? Mr. Taster...

I just have to chime in for roti at Gandhi. It’s east Indian curry as opposed to west Indian curry that most folks have been talking about in this thread. Roti is just not easy to find in the States, particularly SF. I have...

not return, but you suck it up and move on. 2 – You are being subjected to service – Does anyone want to have bad service by a salesperson, a flight attendant, and the guy at the 7-11? No is the easy answer. But what can we do? We...

it before serving. It is easy but takes a lot of time.

people and it’s just...honest! Jim: How can you tell a shill posting from a real posting? Pat: It’s not always easy..... [whispered] We don’t want to say THAT! Jim: No, don’t give too many specifics here. We don’t want to educate...

(both lunch) with family and friends. It was easy to get a reservation for lunch. Short-notice reservation for dinner is impossible. The food is fantastic and consistently surprising. The touch of the two genius chefs Jean...

My 2 cents: Larry, thank you so much for sticking your neck out and organizing this lunch; I have to admit that I still have not hosted one of the lunches in Chinatown because I know it’s not easy and I’m a chicken....

I disagree with your disagreement. As someone who has been on the occasional receiving end of such letters, I can say that reputable companies take these letters seriously. It is quite clear what her complaint is. It should be...

ingrediants is a snap, and these dishes, given their simplicity, are quite easy to “reverse engineer”. I know that as long as I live, I could never duplicate a meal taken in a fine French bistro and that true gustatory...

relocate the name and post it later. What do you like to eat? single location high end, quality chains, European, Chains or certain ethic foods. It’s easy to post restaurants at a whim. It helps to know what you’re...

For many years I kept a wild yeast sourdough starter alive and made bread with it at least weekly. It was amazingly easy to capture and nurture the yeast, and I found the bread absolutely delicious and very complex. There is a...

I second this. Tasty and easy to come by in the Boston area. Though I also agree that the Victory Hop Devil is pretty good.

and sides, cheap and easy, sometimes very good -Fina Estampa 2374 Mission between 19th/20th, 824.4437 for good Peruvian, ample portions, closes early -La Alteña Mission @ 22nd for posole, this is not a great tacqueria -La Santaneca...

No, don’t go to the Salt Lick. It’s the Disneyland of barbecue. If your idea of fine French food is the French restaurant at Epcot, maybe it’s your place. If not, the best barbecue you can get in an easy trip...

very welcoming. It shows up by night, when you feel uneasy venturing out into the desolate streets. And yet Rochesterians are mild-mannered and polite like Canadians, but blessedly more easy-going than most Torontonians. Some say...
