in the bottom. I asked about it and ordered a cup to go. Marc heated up some fresh and although I have only tasted this particular beverage twice before this was the best so far! My only dissapointment was that when we initially...

I am rather late to the appreciation of French food. To be fair, however, most of it isn’t my fault. Phoenix has never been – nor will probably ever be – known as a center for French cuisine. Growing up, I still...

Cherry-Wine Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine canned (drained) cherries, sugar, and wine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat and let mixture cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a...

recommended to venture here to find a boat to take us out for snorkeling and since we were hungry we thought we’d try the food also. The special seafood platter was ok (lobster and shrimp) but nothing special. However, the...

a taste. I’d get the large sfogliatelle at Morrone’s and pick up one at De Lillo’s on 187th, just so you can join in the great sfogliatelle debate! While you’re there, next door to De Lillo’s is the...

Opus One is what we refer to as a “restaurant wine” because that is its main focus. Is it good, sure, is it worth what it costs, not on your life. There are many better Bordeaux blends (Opus is a blend of Cabernet...

your guide book sings praises of these places, avoid em. House of Nanking (past it’s prime) Julius' Castle (44776) Sears Fine Foods (42948) Stinking Rose (45281) Pizza San Francisco does a very lovely California style pizza, but...

Ya know there is a Senor Baja on Washington Ave. in Pico Rivera, just across the street from the shopping mall. Ya could have bought the tacos at both joints and met up somewhere in Montebello. The food would have been warmer,...

On the foie gras front I am struck dumb with awe at your statement. A slab of really fresh foie gras, seared, rare inside, eaten on a nice bit of bread, and heaven forbid, washed down with some Sauternes............... Excuse me,...
