That is sad. He has always given me the little slice of burnt-end brisket while waiting in line. Maybe John Mueller will take over? That family can smoke some meat...

Guess we must be following your idea of Ernie’s list taped to the sun visor! Spent yesterday’s lunch in 97 degree Montebello eating glorious Baja Ensenada shrimp tiel (the atkins diet must be observed) while partner...

As the subject says...Les Halles got a thumbs up from chowhounds for food (red meat without Luger prices, escargot) but too noisy for conversation. Again, not romance, just want to be able to talk. Atkins dieter with me. Ideas? I...

Seven is the best in the area. I had a great meal there before Elton John.

I was going to suggest Smith & Wollensky’s online store, but when I checked it out I found that they are no longer offering steaks because they say they can’t do so at a reasonable price. (Damn that Dr. Atkins!) The...

Try Captain John's Crab House at Cobb Island, Maryland. It sits on the water about 10 miles off of Rt. 301 just on the Maryland side of the Potomac River bridge (over to the Northern Neck of Virginia). Good crabs in a scenic spot:...

” or pork rind, a more than generous slab of grilled top round, a fried egg (!!), a corn cake or “arepa,” and a hunk of just-cut, pale green avocado. Dr. Atkins would be thrilled. My hematologist would not....

A friend will be traveling to Toronto for a conference at the Sheraton Center on Queen Street. He’s primarily a meat eater, pretending to be on Atkins although he’s partial to Happy Hour and bar food. Can anyone...

So sad ??? Dakota Pizza is the next best thing to Johns' Roast Pork where a cheesesteak is concerned. The sesame seed rolls ROCK !!! Dakota gives an ENORMOUS and tasty steak. Seeds and all !!

I have jury duty this week, but unfortunately I’m also on a diet (not Atkins, the South Beach, and my carbs are only super restricted for two weeks, at which point I’m going off my diet to go on my honeymoon, but...

Definitely make your own schmaltz. It is easy and you will have the benefit of the gribines (cracklings) which you won’t get with store bought schmaltz. On Atkins, you can even eat the gribines like popcorn at the movies! 4...

Mid september will be the begining of Apple picking season. I’d suggest a visit to a local orchard for fresh made cider donuts or apple pie. Hamilton Orchards in New Salem or Atkins Farm in South Amherst are personal...

. I had the simply grilled mixed meat platter, an Atkins dream! Other courses were equally good and the icing on the cake was unexpectedly low cost. Opposite the Castel dell’Ovo are a number of restaurants that spill out on...

Aaahhh! Steaks on an expense account. Those were the days! Since we have occasion to visit out teens in Plano, and being an Atkins devotee, I truely appreciate the steak house recommendations. Is there anywhere in the Dallas area...

Seriously? I’ve definitely had them in Massachusetts (most recently from Atkins farm in Amherst), but I can’t think of any place to get a really good one around here.
