a pistachio-crusted chicken and the other friend had lemon chicken – both of those were served w/garlic mashed. We all loved our meals and said we’d be back. NO WAIT on a Saturday night about 8PM, beautiful atmosphere...

and there will be some meals that are ruined or at least poorly prepared along the way. As for your beige burgers, all I can think of is that you have fat and water pooling on top of your burgers. This is normal, leaving it on is...

way back had another beer at the Cold Springs tavern (off hwy 154). I hadn’t been there in years at it is a really great place (very casual almost a bit of a dive with all sorts of people). She loved it and asked me to bring...

Great review, Melanie. Hope Ruth adds Café Colucci to her Ethiopian chowfeast. As Alexandra pointed out a few months ago, Café Colucci is in the Greater East Bay Entertainment Book—you buy one meal and get the second free....

to a meal in one of the best restaurants in town. I also would like to visit the best farmers' market. I welcome your sugguestions. Our hotel is in Near North, we won’t have a car, but would concider renting one if there is...

the Zagat sign, perhaps it means more to you. I’ve never had a bad meal at Cousins, never. The ezme is fantastic (better than Hemsin or Mavi in New York, actually), the calamari fantastic, the kababs fantastic...now Chicago...

items) had a nice “chivy” flavor to them, but the wrapper was thick and gummy. The real kicker of the whole meal was the price. Each 'hound at the table kicked in $6.50 which included tea and tax. Can you beat a deal...

served very BAD Natto. I will not reveal the establishment’s name, because I wouldn’t want to poison you against going there. The rest of the meal was GREAT. Skillfully made sushi, fresh fish, attractively served; all I...
