Signature Cafe – in response to your PS. Where else have you recently eaten in the Twin Cities? Where are you from again? I know that TDQ is from somewhere more foodie (san fran perhaps) and I personally originate from...

Thats it folks. Once again, thanks to all who helped guide my “weekend”.....now its back to the grind until my San Fran trip in February. Fellowship interviews are coming soon and I’m actually quite interested...

In San Fran, our “night out” consisted of any happy hour in a decent restaurant lounge/bar. Now that we have money, we prefer to sit in the lounge/bar of most restaurants regardless of what hour. In college in MD, it...

None of the links given brought up the article, so I went to my San Francisco library site and did a newspaper search. Only thing missing was the picture of Jim on the beach. Any California resident can get a San Fran library...

. Is it the lack of public transportation here which makes a trip across town more of a trip, not to mention high gas prices? Is it the related higher level of sprawl? Is it that this is a bit more of a family place than, say,...

Pharmacy next door sells Fran's caramels which are vastly superior to Alegio. Also, is Cheeseboard still selling those local truffles you liked so much? Even some of the stuff Whole Foods sells is better. And moving over to...

like it better than the monster burritos in San Fran because I can eat the whole thing, it tastes great to me, it doesn’t have a lot of crap I don’t want in it, and it’s cheap!

service, it is hard to find professional and career oriented servers in a city that overall has very amateurish dinners.... and in a city where restaurants are only busy 3 days a week and where the costs are similar to LA or San...

Fran, New York, etc? Quite probably, but that does not mean they are not a value in Boston or otherwise.

, Mandarin Wok (they have dim sum! Although it’s nothing like you’d get in New York or San Fran, but it satifies the craving for HarGow and Shumai) and Papa George’s Greek restaurant (their saganaki and...

I agree, some of the best Chinese I had was in San Fran and it wasnt gloppy or greasy at all but not watered down either. The other place that had the best of this style was a small family joint in Nice France of all places.

, Melrose, etc.) The only reason you are unaware of them is because you are Westside centric, and really what a pity because the best(and most numerous) Asian restaurants outside of China are in the SGV, not San Fran, NOT New...

I’m gonna be staying in Sonoma County for a week on vacation with my girlfriend. All I know the area has is great wine, the French Laundry, some great restaurants (Chez Panisse, Gary Danko) and authentic Vietnamese in San...

I agree completely. I think San Fran has the unfair advantage because they have access to fresh ingredients, among other things. NYC restaurants need to step up to the plate and start innovating. My taste buds are bored....

at a TGIF once in a foreign country (craving salad) & got a huge container of dressing that looked like a separate soup, but at least it wasn’t all dumped on the greens for me. Yuck. I feel for QueenB going to TGIF in San...
