I am from Philly and my biggest pet peeve are all of the abonomations that they I see called a Philly cheesesteak. A true Philly cheesesteak is thin sliced steak, possibly onions, cheese (american or whiz) on a crusty roll. Done....

it was even shredded turkey atop. Enjoyed seeing the flecks of carribean orange habanero dices among the red onion garnish. Lovely avocado and red pickled Jalapeno julienne. Perfectly crisp, and generous black bean filling....

I heartily second your choice of the eel at CV and the ice cream at Sketch. I don’t thinkl the eel was cut into julienne. I think these were elvers — juvenile eels which the Spaniards call “anguillas”....

Curious as to how many of you can dine alone in a nice restaurant without bringing a book?And to go on with that theme, how many of you enjoy dining alone?

Greygarious, I will have to check out that serrated veggie peeler. I just got a Kuhn Reiken Julienne peeler but don’t think that is the same thing. I would imagine with your peeler that you get the maximum flesh for your...

chili sauce ($18). I loved the green papaya salad with the beef. It was excellent and the papaya julienne was wonderfully crisp. The dressing was intense. I didn’t think the Kobe beef was any better than other quality beef...

chocolate brownie mix made with coffee instead of water. Don’t hate. Cool whip is repulsive as is boxed mac and cheese, but give my Other a box of Betty Crocker Julienne Potatoes and watch a grown man cry! Frozen burger...

I’m guilty of being a horrible baker too (check out my profile). Hell, half the time I’ll mess up a box of brownies. Cooking? Step aside... I can saute, braise, julienne, chop & dice with the best home cooks. Baking...

strings from one-half pound snow peas. Blanch to set color, then drain and refresh with cold water. Dry with paper towels, or allow to dry in the refrigerator overnight. Slice into thin diagonal strips. Peel, then finely julienne...

is a flavor. Very strange. It reminds me of a TV ad for pizza that refers to julienne peppers. I bet a lot of people have no idea what that means, or think it’s a type of pepper. The ad writers put it in because it sounds...

. However, there is no way a restaurant can design a menu all people will completely understand. Some people don’t know what “poached” means, some might not get "julienne", again, that is why you ask questions....

: Peapods, diced (holy hell they are the bomb in here) water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, diced yellow onion and diced scallions, soya sauce, vegetarian ‘oyster’ sauce. In spring rolls: Julienne carrots, scallion, peapods....
