of this kind in any kind of legitimate restaurant, especially at 10:30 pm in a new place on 10th Avenue. What do you think? For the record, she ate it without further complaint (after I had filleted it for her) and she thought it...

don’t remember her name but she had one of the top selling books on etiquette (this was about 7 years ago)...

After fifteen years spent living in NYC, I have moved back to L.A. (two weeks before 9/11) with my husband and small son, who are newcomers to California. I did love living in New York, though my cravings for tacos, Thai, and...

Okay, a few more details: I’ll be in downtown Fargo, ND. Not sure how long I’ll be there as I am being called as a witness in a court case, so it will be anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks. Just spent most of my $$ on a...

Soups, stews and tender meat dishes have all been listed. A recipe I have from a cooking class I took years ago is for Apple Brown Betty. Dessert isn’t something you often see made it a crock pot, so while I haven’t...

One of my all time favorite movies. And a true hunger enducer. The biggest problem is you want what you saw in the movie and that’s unlikely in Chicago. Please trust me on this, I lived in Japan for several months a few...

, Abacus Pizza: Campania’s, Fireside Pies, Coal Vines For authentic Italian, I hear Daniele Osteria and Bice are pretty good and very authentic, but haven’t been to either. And not that you asked, but I’ll go ahead...

Bangkok Kitchen on Division used to be the place in Portland (about 10 years ago) for Thai food, but the family members moved on to other things, including Lemongrass and Kuhn Pic’s Bahn Thai, both of which have small...

A great lunch for three at Sonoma which is the new restaurant on Capitol Hlll replacing Radicchio — lots of options, local ingredients, there is a $4 supplemental for larger meat entrees at lunch but for the $20.00 price...

I will be in LA this weekend to do research for a restaurant that I want to open in New York. I am in mad search of some real authentic Mexican (I mean the real deal here) food. I am specifically looking for taquerias and tortas...

I haven’t been in a couple of years, but that sounds like what I was thinking of. I meant a pool hall...but then again, maybe it was just a bar. Googling it for the map, I’m pretty sure that’s the place I was...
