at a fine restaurant your meal might easily be 1,000 calories. Then add the wine. Bottom line: when counting calories, watch the wine!

Whew – that’s a lot of commentary. I, for one, do look to my fellow hounds to alert me to both good and bad places. There’s nothing worse than getting beat by a bad meal. I have every right to diss a restaurant...

I would have thought that such a breakfast was a good way to start a day of shoveling, yet all the news programs are saying not to have a heavy meal before shoveling for some reason. Guess they’re worried about heart...

I normally would not post on a brand new place after just one meal, but Mardi Gras is upon us and the topic of NO food has been percolating here lately. First, Blue Bayou is open, although the apparently large second floor dining...

for a good example of either. On the other hand, it’s easy to spend a lot more than that, which I don’t recommend. Let us know what you decide and how the meal goes. R.

30-Minute Meals sound like a production. And definitely suitable for company. I use a bit more wine than Peterson suggests, and also cut it with a bit of chicken stock. (My friends like a little more sauce.) Chives or tarragon...

So before another scrump-diddly-umptious meal at Zaytinya last night, I swung by RFD to check on their gravity casks. I don’t remember the name, some English thing that they called a “Bock,” but tasted more like...

a special meal at Commanders because it’s been a long time, and a Hurricane at Pat’s because we had one (several, actually) on our honeymoon 37+ years ago). We are also interested in bars with good food, and/or live...

just to get a slice. When the term “NY cuisine” is mentioned, I think "If I had relatives or in laws in NY for the first time and we had two meals to have, where would I take them, I’d be sure to get deli and...

Stop with the gellato alreqady! There is no bad gellato in Italy – some are just more terrific than others! Why don’t you two get over to La Posta for the best meal you’re going to have in Florence!

flavoured modified oil products, they represent what Chowhounds shouldn’t/won’t/don’t consume unless.... we are in a discussion about guilty secret pleasures where someone confesses to making a meal of Spray...

don’t have the time or mobility to hit to stands or “boutiques”(ie. Hollywood Farmers Market). What amazes me that many will think nothing of dropping $30 for a grilled cheese sandwich. They could spend well under...

or as little as you think you need. I do agree with him about the portion sizes on resaturant meals these days, some of them are really out of control. Sharing does make sense. I’ve done quite a bit of it recently and most...
