, and this one was wonderfully fresh and sweet and creamy. It is totally worth $3.00 to have someone else prep a coconut for you and stick a little paper umbrella in it. Not to mention the great bistro atmosphere. I really do...

One can defend a lot of rudeness with “logic.” Funny that you mentioned tolerance in the same posting. I can tolerate someone eating a perfect pastrami with mayo if that’s the way they like it...but that...

no other RC). Tell me where to go to get the best steak in Chicago, period. If there is no consensus, I will be at the "original Morton’s." I wonder how many nights in a row can you eat steak? Morton’s, Gibson’s,...

, as opposed to other, busier, establishments where every day there’s a different employee scooping. And I’ve actually seen them eating the gelato themselves! There are fewer flavours than offered at Sorbetteria...

, though granted Spicy Bite seems to do much more delivery business than eat in, and is a bit cheaper.)OTOH, I had noticed that business seemed to be down on my last few visits, and what was missing that I remember seeing earlier...

way to guarantee even baking is to rotate the pans front-to-back and top-to-bottom halfway through the baking time. I use the commercial sheet pans for a number of other tasks, too, most prominently for baking all the winter...

For what it’s worth, if forced to eat at Cheesecake Factory, I like to order the “French Country Salad” and add on a protein: either sliced grilled chicken breast ($3; often too dry) or grilled salmon ($7)...

Back in RI, a good sign for Italian subs is a sub shop that has bags of rolls sitting out front, leaning against the door, that had been delivered that morning by a local baker. I’ve only seen that at a few places around...

the magic of cheese and pickle: sharp cheddar and brown vegetable pickle (Branston’s is the popular brand), on a sandwich or with bread or crackers. Now I eat cheese with all sorts of spicy pickles and chutneys: tomato,...

glad I tried these recipes. Even though they didn’t turn out perfect, they were still fun to make and eat. If I can get my hands on more concord grapes, I’m hoping to make David’s concord grape...

-specific. There is an emphasis on local ingredients. The service is terrific, the wine list is good and accessible, and room is comfortable and very appealing. The tables are big, the food is served so that everyone tries...

locally. I never buy from people who sell tea AND coffee, because it’s impossible to completely avoid “aroma battles”. Guess who wins. And I don’t work for any of these companies. Wouldn’t mind a tea...

at Johnnie’s, other spots (such as The Hat) seem to do it a tad better. Maybe the Hat’s is fattier, but not by much. And the texture is better. I still hit Johnnies for my local fix, but there are better. ps: I still...

in the front staffed by a local neighborhood “character” with her son often standing by? Now THOSE were bagels....like the original Lender’s made in a garage in the back of a house in New Haven...sigh Now, what...

date is 4/11). I think the biggest difference is the location and the atmosphere. Austin St isn’t the type of place to stand and eat ices like 108th and I could never imagine a bus driver stopping and getting off on Austin...
