some free coffee too. (We make a small profit of $25 at the slots). Breakfast at Cafe Du Monde again. Lunch at Mother’s- this time we get the Ferdi- a soft-meat sandwich. Everything is tender about it- the bread, the meat,...

I’ll flog this dead horse slightly longer. It seems to me the distinction is between using Chowhound as the/a primary source for an article and using it as one among many. It’s unethical not to credit it in the first...

very, very good. They owners were frugal, maybe, but they still cared about the food they served. They didn’t skimp on the quality of the produce, meat, etc., and they cooked with love. That’s what really counts. That...

is getting to where it’s hard to get a fairly simple meal for less than $35 all told (talk about “audacity”), but that’s a horse of an entirely different color it seems to me...

or Riesling. With poultry or heavier vegetable dishes I drink Pinot Noir. I don’t have a house “big red” (Cab/Syrah/Zin/etc) since I eat very little red meat or other very heavy foods at home. When the weather...

“objectively” rated and talked up. That’s horse puckey. Don’t be sucked in, as so many others have been.

should be grateful for what we’ve got. When I first moved to Chicago, you couldn’t buy meat in supermarkets (except for small quantities of meat left over from when the butchers were on duty, day shift). It was one...

Monte, I think it is easy to disparage something familiar and Tex-Mex falls into that category. Too bad for the naysayers because it is delicious! Leave them to their high horses — more good food for us.
