Not really cooking but I am looking for a store bought ranch dressing that does not taste artificial. I am not a fan of Hidden Valley so if anybody has tried another brand let me know. I would not be opposed to making my own if...

I’m planning to cook a whole fish for a gathering, and want to check out the Ranch 99 in Van Nuys to get it. What are the best kinds of fish to get there for cooking whole in the oven? I’ve read about black sea bass,...

I had dinner at Sky Ranch, at Dufferin and Castlefield. It’s a family-owned place with a classic Argentinian menu, heavy on grilled meats and with some Italian dishes thrown in. The appetizers were quite good: grilled...

, which came as about four 1 inch squares with the 3 dipping sauces and mixed fresh vegetables. I was shocked at the minimal size, but was assured it was six ounces before cooking. Having been around restaurant food for a very...

Every time I go to 99 Ranch, I get the crabs... fattening cakes, Jpnz kureemu soda, Yogloo (not YooHoo) and hachimitsu honey drinks. Image: http://tinypic.com/dyq81g.jpg

Wife, wife’s family, and I finally tried Yosemite Ranch a few days ago for dinner. Wife had a chicken dip (like a French dip sandwich but with chicken instead of beef). She reports that the chicken had a good, smoky flavor...

The 99 Ranch by me in Van Nuys, CA is not one of the flagship stores. The fish dept stinks, the hot food/take out steam tray area looks like the food has been sitting too long and the produce is wilted and lacking. I went once...

I think I saw a post a few weeks ago about getting live crab at 99 Ranch Mkt — that they’d cook it for you on the spot. Is this true? I’m just too immaturely squeamish to do it myself. Please advise asap. Thanks,...

Yes, I was disappointed with Wood Ranch too. Their “famous” tri tip I had was way too fatty and tough for the price. The only thing I really liked was the coleslaw and fried onion blossom (but really, you have to try...

Bought a London Broil at Trader Joe’s yesterday and it was Niman Ranch brand. It was $7.99 per pound! When I get a London Broil from our neighborhood grocery store butcher (I don’t know what brand), it is rarely more...

If she likes Southwestern cuisine, take her to the Old Blinking Light next to the Highlands Ranch Tattered Cover. I don’t think you can call a restaurant that is part of a small group of four eateries (three in Taos, one up...

Had a lovely weekend at Sea Ranch that included daily visits to Two Fish on Annapolis Road. We’ve had trouble catching them when they are open/still have something to buy in the past, but this time we did well. The...

I hadn’t been to the mall since Ay Chung opened and was almost going to eat there, but decided to get lunch at 168 instead. This is a large restaurant with some Taiwanese items in addition to typical dishes, probably more...

(Actually, both inns' restaurants have their own names — Sierra Mar at Post Ranch and Cielo at Ventana, but I thought it would be easier to search with the inns in the subject line.) Anyway, these are the high-end...

in this neighborhood & we hope they stick around for a long time - I definitely reccomend.
