Meeting a friend from Smith Barney for lunch on Fri. at 301 Lake in Pasadena. What’s nearby that’s tasty and mid price range? I’ve seen lots of good posts for Pasadena but can’t think of anything off the...

I’m green with envy, and I’ll make ya a deal. It is not my nature to grovel shamelessly, but for the Masters, I would eat dirt. If you have an extra ticket, I’ll drive up from Florida with a giant cooler filled...

with lots of chrunchy cabbage. I think they are mas better than Rubios. I also like the tasti chips which are a cross between a potato chip and a fry, but only a few and only when hot. My s.o. usually heads for the Roxy stand for...

favorite was The Reeses Peices Sundae – a colossal ice cream trophy – drowned in whipped cream, hot fudge, and a lovely peanut butter sauce. Since I’ve moved to California, I’ve yet to find anything like...

/lunch-open but need to head to BR by 2 or 3 dinner-tailgate or place in BR? Sunday Breakfast-have to leave by 8.30am, so need something quick and close (staying in the Qrt). Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions.

't ordering the right things. Jun Bo off 494 isn’t far, and you can get take out dim sum at all hours. As far as other types of take out, I like Grand Old Creamery, Hot Plate, Colossal Cafe, and Highland Park is just across...

Hiroshima Okonomiyaki is? We’ll probably be heading up 280, so if there are good places outside of San Jose but near 280, please let me know. Thanks!

was so excited to try this place. what a colossal disappointment. more of the same tasteless, grey-colored american mexican slop. i will live in hope...

a famous one of over twenty years ago as being more enthusiastic than good. The authors made a few colossal mistakes. Anyway, the NO Junior League “Plantation Cookbook” has a very good recipe. By and large, stick to...

on a Saturday at 7 AM is zero). But when I do venture out to satisfy my craving for bacon and eggs, I want it to be great. Madge and Boris suggested we head out for brunch and we tried our best to come up with a place that...

Last night I was heading to check out Settebello, but then saw the Now Open sign for Acme Burger Company jsut across the street, new home of Adam Kreisel. It’s just the soft opening this week, Tuesday the first day. No...
