On the undermount sink point, I must agree with you. Trying to brush debris over a raised lip is the kind of thing that makes you crazy. And since the wood surrounding it is exposed to air circulation and will quickly dry, it...

and texture. The flavors at Bincho were much more...subtle. Not bland, but let’s just say I was using a lot of the japanese pepper. They were not “chicken-ey” enough. I think SSG uses some kind of brush-on...

from us foodies (gasp!) excited about someone trying to elevate the humble burger to something beyond. My point is that to paint the Burger Shoppe with the same brush as Licks/Hero is a bit of a disservice to the effort these...

a modicum of respect and show us she can actually cook somewhere along the way, rather than paint her 100% with the “she can't cook worth a damn and is a b!tchy prune as well” brush. I’m glad Stephanie won, but...

place. On other fronts, I know it’s very pedantic, but it’s ‘palate’, not ‘palette’, assuming you put the food in your mouth rather than on a board meant for paint. Or a ‘pallet’, which we used to stack boxes on when I worked at a...
