I worked for a family doctor in Vermont years ago. Every summer, when the beets started appearing in the local markets, we’d get a few calls. If there was a panicky young person on the line saying they had seen blood in...

places you might check...Senor Fish on 1st. East on 1st. 410 Boyd. Curry House at Weller Court. Patinette at MOCA. Philippe’s of course. Otto’s generally has good clam chowder. Gorditas and other goodies in the stalls...

Greetings Fellow Hounds from the District & Environs. About 11 years ago, my wife and I chowed down at this exquisite but humble little storefront French Vietnamese tucked away in a shopping area off the main drag in Rocville,...

Prings has been there forever, but I’ve never tried it. Worth a trip, or just a place to stop if you happen to be in the nabe (since it’s not far from Bayfair Mall)? BTW, a friend just coughed up the name of an Afghan...

for lunch – nothing like a dried out burger for those arriving at noon. Overall this buffet was several notches down from the comparably priced buffets at the Orleans and Gold Coast. It is ouur first full day in Las Vegas and...

Hi, I could use some help for an article I’m writing. Can anyone suggest really great roadside dining, anywhere in the country? Here are the constraints: 1. must be right off a serious highway (say under 1/4 mile from the...

I moved to PDX from San Francisco several years ago, and have not been as excited about the food here as others seem to be. (I’m really picky!) and have been spoiled by the intensly flavored cheap ethnic food in the bay...

the French Quarter from head to toe. From the antique shops on Rue Royal to the French Market on Decatur. We quickly discovered that New Orleans is best for its food and entertainment. Its sights are fun, but don’t take up...

Interesting — I didn’t realize that about the name. I hear you about the kids and if it had only been one table with kids I wouldn’t have been annoyed. But literally, 4 parties were seated or being seated ahead...

There are some truly bargain-basement values to be found in hole-in-the-wall, generally ethnic places... I compiled a list once, it ran from $0.99 pupusas, through $1.50 banh mi, to a huge $4 plate of Indian food and a cup of...

Peets was good about 15 years ago,Now its just a huge corparate $ machine,Which is fine but certainly not the best place to buy coffee. Plus Peets expresso drinks are truly average.If you want a great latte. you must only buy them...

You don’t say what part of Dallas you’ll be in .. this city spreads out far and wide. For real Texas cuisine (are you from out of state?) you’ll need to get out of the city .. about 15 minutes in any direction...

of the fabulous italian sandwiches with arugala, roasted pepper, mozzarella, maybe tuna, balsamic vinegar, etc.,from MELAMPO (Sullivan betw. Prince and Spring) or something (gnocchi with pesto? grilled veggie focaccia sandwich?)...

it made me sweat. Skyline had a place in Merrifield at Gallows Rd & Rt 50 for a time, but it didn’t last. I recall making a good replica of their chili using a recipe from Jane Butel’s Chili Madness. The Hard Times was...
