My wife and I will be in San Francisco, staying at the W Hotel with a car. We would like some help in finding restaurants: 1) Could you recommend a good dinner place? We don’t necessarily want to do fine dining. If the food...

I don’t know of one in S.F., but there is one in the south bay (at least, used to be, last time I checked about 5 years ago). It’s in the strip mall that also houses San Jose Comedy Sportz™. There used to be one...

I love the Nook, the original, on Hamline at Randolph in St. Paul. I love the fresh buns from PJ Murphy’s down the street. I love their hand-cut fries. I love their Molitor burgers (jack stuffed lucy burger) and their...

Yes! I remember that scene now. Never heard of risotto before that movie, but now I make it myself and order it in restaurants. Most Mpls-St. Paul places do a good job, but 20% of the time the texture isn’t right for my...
