but I think I put it on a burger pedestal and had higher hopes. I was much happier with my burger from fords i had a while back, one of the best I’ve had in twnon. At 5:30 on Sunday the tables were full but there were 6 or...

So many cool ideas! I picked up some cool looking small glass pedestal bowls today, that I think I will present the tiramisu in, and then place the gelato on the side... perhaps in an almond cookie bowl with a caramel cage on...

FYI, Sorrelina is run by Jamie Mamanno, the same chef/owner of Mistral; the 'hounds here tend to put it on a higher pedestal though (I understand with good reason).

Hmmm. I am familiar with the Morgon he mentions in the article, and I think it might just be worth trying. That being said, I am such a fan of a Muscadet or a chablis with oysters that i think it would be hard to knock those...

I haven’t made it in a while, but I make little black bean cakes with black beans, cumin, onions, garlic, and enough cornmeal to get it to hold, fry 'em up, and use them as a pedestal for grilled shrimp on skewers. Big hit...

that Mistral provides places this restaurant on a pedestal much higher than average, and if the quality stays the same, then restaurants in this caliber can demand much higher pricing. I can’t wait to return. Irwin

Huckleberry is a good approximation. To be honest, Tartine is Tartine and strong enough IMO to stand on its own pedestal. Huckleberry makes very good pastry, has nice coffee, and a good lunch menu. Is it Blue Bottle Coffee, nope

of La Voile’s vibe is all about serving great French food, but taking care to avoid putting it on a pedestal; but the wine list seems to intone, “this is FRENCH wine! Worship, be grateful, and ask no questions!”...

I haven’t tried every donut shop in Western Mass (although I’d like to!), but I have to put the doughnuts at Sunrise Bakery in Easthampton on the top pedestal. Their old fashioned glazed is incredible. The outer dough...

inferior to the average backyard bbq variety (the fried pork pedestals they rested upon were indistinguishable from the ballen in their flavorlessness). The burger — lauded on these boards and in other critiques for its...

for richness. For my second course, I picked the seared scallop appetizer that had been highly recommended by our waiter. It was every bit as good as he’d proclaimed. A perfectly seasoned and juicy seared scallop was...

spied heaping chanko nabe hot pots being carried upstairs, so there’s more to Iroha than just sushi. There are plenty of places like this in Japan, so I’m by no means holding this on some pedestal. But this is fresh...

. Good place for birthday cakes (order in advance) Great counter help keeps the crowds moving. Cards, gift section with dishes, cake pedestals & plates. Other than these two place, I haven’t found anything in PA, MP, MV or...

belly fresh bacon. Pork belly was a little intimidating to some people. Skate was the ‘it’ fish for a while and got elevated to a culinary pedestal with lots of restaurants falling all over themselves to serve it. Ditto...

's pedestal.....we haven’t been back.
