    Difference between a chowhound and food snob

    The old saying is still true for me: "I don’t care what you call me, just make sure you call me for dinner!" I find labels limiting and they can create larger preconceptions which get in the way of true exchange. I realize a...

    Why won't guests use coasters????

    invited back a second time so yeah I just follow them around with coasters. And not just dining/coffee tables. Side tables, side board, book cases. Sooo many hiding places :)

    Seeking impulsive, flippant Paris advice...please help!

    ’Ingres, Gaya Rive Gauche, Le Relais de Venise (L’Entrecôte), and Le Flaubert). A couple I think are missing are Spring (if you can get in – Daniel is in Japan for some time and when he is back it will book out...

    tea time

    how other people drink their tea, but for a mild curiosity. In any case, the origins and evolution of tea could span several books, a few that are already out there and interesting to read. I am no expert, just an interested...

    first visit to Thai Aree tonight - must haves?

    from The Burrito House. Needless to say, my curiosity about pad thai had been piqued. My wife, a fairly conservative, mostly repetitive restaurant eater, assured me pad thai could be good. In the spirit of Spring World’s...

    MAY COTM Flexitarian Table SIDE DISHES (all seasons)

    if I’d added the full amount of cream. Overall, it was a handy, filling lunch to take to work for the next few days (especially as the weather has been rubbish here), but I wouldn’t make it again.

    coupon on first date

    book, in the appropriate location, early and keep a link to sunset (for most places on Earth) times handy. I do agree with Davwud, that we do it for the sunset, and not any discount. If there is a set “early bird...

    Worst in Toronto

    I was aware that Second Cup went to Cara at some point. But where does that place Baguette and mmmuffins? They aren’t part of Cara. Are they, in fact, now owned by Timothy’s? (Just idle curiosity, BTW.)

    Should I Tip on bill amount without tax or total inclusive of tax?

    .6%). Restaurants seem to promote post-tax tipping as standard, and if you don’t believe this, check the handy tip calculator occasionally provided on the bottom of your credit card charge slip. Whether you agree with this...

    You know you're a Chowhound when....

    When I read a book and the narrator talks about going to dinner and he/she doesn’t say what they ate. It drives me CRAZY!

    What makes a hot dog YOUR top dog?

    dogs for lunch while out for a walk. They were deep-fried. I didn’t get it. They didn’t taste very different to me—in fact, I thought they had made a mistake when they served it. So, for me, it’s curiosity...

    Diners, Drive-ins, Dives, and Disgusting

    My curiosity is piqued about this hot dog. I need to catch this episode just out of morbid curiosity. The hot dog sounds like some type of regional favorite like Cincinnati chili or Chicago deep dish.
