Guys, spend your money on the food and do not buy the wine! In Marty’s you can get a much better deal if you are prepared to pay $20 for a bottle of wine. Georgian reds are overpriced here, they tend to be overly sweet and...

I tend to get prepared foods at Gelsons, particularly the Gazpacho (during summer) and Mexican Diablo salad. I also like the curried chicken salad, which I prefer to Whole Foods version. The beef stew is quite good, when they...

Are chefs open to request with plenty of notice to prepare an entree that is not on the regular menu? Scenario is a special occasion dinner for two, at a upscale restaurant with a well known chef that does not know me. I would like...

I want to book a table at L’Ambroisie in Paris (gulp) for a table in December, for a few friends' upcoming big birthdays. I called the restaurant and they say they don’t take reservations more than a month in advance....

for her to prepare and such a welcome sight for me. In the nuker it went, chicken over the rice with the sauce and it was a done deal. A batch of meatballs with a side of sauce even a sweet and sour sauce, with noodles would be...

! Is there any place where this traditional and simple French preparation is served? Thanks for your advice!
