When I was a kid we used to get kolaches at Simon’s Market in New Prague. If you can’t find a good a good kolache in NP then we are all in trouble.

inedible? (example, Minado might be a bargain, but to me it’s a waste of money since I can’t swallow that sushi without feeling that the whole concept of machine made sushi is wrong wrong wrong, not to mention that it...

Brazil Fresh Squeeze Cafe, Berkeley can’t be any more walk up than the parking lot at the top of University. Very good Tri tip and great street atmosphere

at Thrifty’s in high school but at a location with no ice cream counter. Can’t remember if the label still says Thrifty’s ice cream despite the name change of the store. Mashti’s is great. I took...

Before I went to Paris I would have considered au bon pain to have good croissants. Now I can’t eat there without ranting about how they are so inauthentic and comparably terrible they are. I am letting you in on a gigantic...

After cutting in the butter/lard/shortening, touch it as little as possible!! (At the expense of prettiness, if need be – don’t want to melt the fat & lose the flakiness!) Can’t do bread, though, for the life of...

Christopher Daniel in Timonium perhaps? Probably exceeds your stated budget, but you also said “not many kids”. Higher prices tend to help in that department. I can’t think of anything (outside of Balto proper)...

Believe it or not I’ve got a recipe for cookies made with bacon fat instead of shortening, margarine or butter. They are flavored with cinnamon, they’re delicious and people can’t quite figure out what...

I think Fat Tire just serves as a really nice, basic beer when you just want to knock back a few with friends. I can drink a complicated Belgian ale with the best of 'em, but sometimes all I really want is a Fat Tire (which I...

If you wanted to go the expensive route you could buy duck fat online through D’Artagnan at $9-$10 per #, what a rip off !!! I don’t live in the city so I can’t help but....................if you make your own...
