Second Moore Brothers. And while it’s kind of a wine version of Whole Foods, Union Square has its points, chief among which is the 20 per cent case discount, especially good when combined with one of their occasional...

Hey! Nothing BUT good Zin for the kid. Nah, I think it was just fumble fingers, or a brain cramp. Your granddad is right, they do come more often... Hunt

leaves in a food processor. Add just enough red wine to allow the mixture to form a fairly smooth paste. Score the fatty sides of the rib roast in a diamond pattern, using a sharp knife to cut through the fat but not into the...

about the Szechuan prospects here. Oh, they’d say “Little Sichuan is pretty good,” and it is. But really exciting Szechuan food didn’t seem to be in the cards. Enter China Village. Last night’s feast,...

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend on the home cooking board. When people discuss gnocchi, they pay attention to the quality of the ricotta. Much attention is paid to the subtleties of roasting chickens. Generally, people are...

? I didn’t see this post when the change happened and got confused as to how to reply (but didn’t reply to the replies as I did figure it out) I don’t use the home key as it’s not where my fingers are used...

I keep a collection of plain white Corningware Corelle dishes (2 bowl sizes and two plate sizes) stacked in a three-tier plate stand (within arm’s reach) for microwave use, heat/reheat/warm/melt/defrost. Corelle is...

BBQ is on the other side of the Interstate from I-57 Rib House and is run by their relatives. Food was fairly similar to I-57 but overall a notch down. Gary arranged a tour of the pit area where we admired the stainless steel and...

Do you mean their material was degraded so they would become more biodegradable? That’s enough to make one eat some Haagen-Daz. (OK, now I have linked this thread to FOOD).

of Mexican food I’m in the process of consuming; I think about driving from Alameda to Mountainview and back on a rainy work night. I hesitate. Then I realized I’m being offered the chance to eat Shanghainese food...

I’m finally sitting down to collect my thoughts on the food. First: I, too, thought the whole, deep fried tilapia —criss-crossed and adorned with red chilis—was fantastic, beautifully presented, and a great...

the kitchen doors will be served first and will thereby obtain the hottest and freshest food. Thus, in larger facilities, sitting close to the kitchen doors can be a distinct advantage, since the more unusual items may not make...

Indian food. Not looking for something authentic, I just want a decent chana masala or chicken curry recipe that tastes like a boring Indian restaurant made it. I’ve tried, and after all that work, I’ve never been...

, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the White House (well, outside) and every monument and memorial in between and still had time to eat some pretty darned good food, thanks, in part, to the DC Chowhounders. (Even...
