We’re making one of our regular biannual visits to Berkeley next week, for ten days. I've been combing the board, but going through six months' worth of posts is overwhelming, and I may have missed something. My notes...

I never got to try this place when i was in Vancouver because it didn’t exist yet and you've most likely heard of it already but a trip to Japa Dog might be in order. Not only do you get to try something unique but you also...

of the old house they occupy. It looked like they were unloading their mobile unit and taking things into the house, so perhaps they are preparing to open real soon now. Because they have the mobile unit, I assume they've been...

not intend upon returning soon. The place is long and narrow. A parking lot is in the back of the restaurant. They have about 4 to 5 tables outside on the street in front of the restaurant. The poor wait-persons have to carry as...

Stepping away from the firm - Soft or creamy tofu can be used in soups also. The Korean Soon Dubo Jjiggae is an excellent soup that uses either one with some kimchi, pork, green onion, garlic, and possibly zucchini, egg plant,...

in during the evenings as they've been closing early if business is really slow. When I went they were cash only but were hoping to have credit/debit soon. We’re going tonight to see if it’s as good as we remember!...

I always reccomend the Spot as well. I go there about 1x per week. But the last couple of times, my burger has been dry. I hope it’s just a short phase. The Green Temple in Redondo uses the same recipe for their veggie...

I've been trying to make turkey burgers, with dismal results. Dry and bland. The ground meat looks like it has promise, but there’s no “there” there. But I've persevered, and made KILLER ones today. Seasoning...

Last night my girlfriend and I ate at Tapenade. I think this is probably the best restaurant I've been to in SD. We did the tasting menu (with wine pairings) with one substitution — we swapped out the veal dish (English pea...

across the street. In the minute it took me to walk back to my car, I witnessed another party get seated. This was very soon after they first opened. I've never though twice about going back, despite being told it’s good.

Since you have responded in a thread of some of the mentioned restaurants, I will not bore you with material, that you've already read. One thing that I will urge you to do is relax your ban on beets. I used to feel the same way,...

a month and a half ago. i've heard good things about their crab salads from others. both in terms of the freshness of the crab and the greens (not limp, browning gross iceberg), and in terms of portion size. i’m usually...

it for infusions. But that day I tasted heaven in a glass. It’s a brand new company, the day of the tasting about three weeks ago, they had only been in selling for a two weeks. Hangar One Vodka. I’ve linked their...

Anyone know of a local source of fresh New Mexican green chilies? Or frozen roasted green? I used to buy them from New Mexico when they cost $30 for 10 pounds (incl shipping) but they've gone up to about $100 for the same amount.

Well it looks like the new restaurant across from BAM — Thomas Biesl — will be opening soon. They placed the menu in the window today —appetizers such as salmon tartare, market greens and soups and entrees...
