there was no supermarket left in the immediate area (formerly, the Bowl carried foodstuffs only). So B. Bowl took the space, built an entirely new and larger building to replace the grotty Safeway, and became what you saw. And it...

I too would love to know about former Pandan Leaf and if the owners have a new place or something. Always good to have another option in town, especially since Penang doesn’t make everything exactly to my taste. And belacan...

on Madison to get a hat and some good bacon. After scoring a lid at New World Hatters (one of the last remaining places in the Midwest that cleans hats as well as sells them), I stopped by Moo and Oink (4848 W. Madison), a...

to be a good decision. There weren´t all new dishes alltogether out there, but the changes were significant: the very mediocre sushi rolls were complemented by nigiri now, there were kobe sirloin, beef Wellington and prime rib,...

of oregano and epazote with hot peppers adorned the tables. The tostada was interesting—a contrast of gelatinous and crunchy, with sliced potatoes and a little fresh cheese and lettuce. ChowFun liked it more than the rest...

Restaurant in Hotel Cipriani. We were there to celebrate our 38th anniversary and loved the experience—bring a big bag of euros! In San Gimignano I would highly recommend Il Pino Restaurant. We shared a potato gnocci dish...

I like the house brand frozen edamame (soy beans in the pod). Practically the only source for them here in New Orleans, and reasonably priced. Everyone is right about the cheeses, and in our local store they have an olive bar...

Hi all: Wow. This is certainly a hot potato (pardon the obviously bad pun) issue. Having been both a restaurant manager AND having been in the well-worn shoes of a server (as well as being a very frequent restaurant guest) I agree...

Ditto much of the advice above. I strongly prefer fresh turkeys, because some turkeys still have frozen spots after a 3-day thawing, and that leads to uneven cooking (dry parts and underdone parts). Also, if you are new to this,...

I figure I had better set out to write this immediately before my impressions get tainted by time. I bumped into Sandra W. at Standard Sweets and Snacks. I ordered a fried chile stuffed with potato and the lady behind the counter...

cold. Had to relate this experience. I don’t think I’ve ever read a negative word about their steaks, but I was disappointed overall. Go. Decide for yourself. And definitely get the German Fried Potatoes.

quality. but most of the time they are excellent. all my friends enjoyed and kept coming back after i took them there. there is another tung kee/new tung kee deep inside a shopping complex between mowry and fremont blvd....

’s described on the menu as a sandwich made with marinated bread. Basically it’s a torta filled with chorizo and fried potato chunks plus a little shredded lettuce and crema. The outside is coated with a red chile paste...

in Heritage Square in downtown Phoenix. Another restaurant in downtown Phoenix that has taken up residence in an old home is Cibo Urban Pizzeria. Dave and I were looking for a nice spot of Italian food and a new experience, so we...

knew how we ordered our food, which was Medium-Thai spicy for me, and mild for my husband. In all the years we’ve gone there, we’ve never had a problem, and when we’ve had new servers over the years, we just...
