I agree that Joe Beef is the more comfortable restaurant. Au Pied can be a downright abrasive experience. I also think that even though they reinvent their menu every night, the food at Joe Beef tends to be more conservative than...

sense. While Yokohama was never more than barely mediocre, it had its niche as a conservative neighborhood take-out place. Yama’s challenge is to maintain that clientele, while building a business that serves traditional...

cooks as a basic knife. I would suggest buying a German Chef’s knife, an 8 or 10 inch. These have a deep or wide blade which is perfect for that rocking motion you see chefs do. by rocking the knife you are conserving...

as a result of eating a pound of food (aren’t you and your waistline happy about that?). In fact, the ratio of 3:1 for farmed salmon is quite low – the more typical rule of thumb is a 10:1 ratio for each step in a...

I have been reflecting on the very diverse opinions of Le Chateaubriand, and I suspect it is a restaurant that needs a warning attached to protect unsuspecting diners. It isn’t a restaurant for a person who only likes...

WOW, do I feel out ranked. I guess buying paper towels and nakins is not the going thing. Sorry guys I just don’t have the time or energy I had BBQ ribs the other night. I would hate to see what my nice little white napkin...

for energy used in producing the bags, and I figure they use less than a quart of petroleum. That’s less than the fuel I use driving to the store and back.

Gary V is (like it or not) representative of a new generation in the wine and marketing worlds. The way he promotes his family’s wine business is pure 21st century near-genius. Traditionalists and more conservative...

Polenta — make it the night before and refrigerate in muffin tins, or in a pan then slice in the morning. It can be reheated in the morning, perhaps with some cheese or butter on top. There are, at a conservative estimate,...

And I’ve noticed that that 99% of all so-called conservative estimates are still in the realm of fantasy.
