June 29th is the last day for the waitress who has been making the desserts for Shibucho restaurant over the last year. So if you are thinking of that one last special dinner at Schibucho and want those desserts to finish the...

Hey, as long as we’re on the UWS, does anyone remember a place on Amsterdam and 118th, called something like New Amsterdam Pizza? It was the first restaurant I ever ate in in NY, back in 1987 (oops, or maybe the second...

high density hard plastic bottles to start, but it’s worth it. Only problem is, once you get used to good water it’s difficult to go back to tap. I find myself splurging on bottled water in restaurants more and more...

I’d be doing most of the cooking here in Cali, Colombia, with some exceptions: 1. Steaks cooked by an Argentinian using our 100% organic, fully range-fed beef at a rustic restaurant at the foot of the mountains; 2. A few...

't feel the same way abour restaurants as farmers markets. Why don’t people compare a multi-starred Michelan restaurant to McDonalds and complain about being ripped off? Just because a restaurant has lots of stars...

fried potatoes with salt? Oh no, they have to have at least twenty ingredients. Go to the nearest fast food "restaurant" (which are everywhere) and order some “chicken” - if it has under thirty ingredients and is at...

their culture and beauty? Thoughts? This post kind of hearkens back for me time spent out in DC working for the NPS – when I got to eat quite often at the National American Indian Museums restaurant and my usual...

Just received Martha Stewart’s August “Living” magazine: “refreshing treats for a hot day”: Jason’s “summer rolls”. Even Martha Stewart trolls Chowhound for ideas! Turns out the...

We were just talking about this obvious gap in the Leslieville food explosion. If anyone out there is in a position to provide financing, I’d love to run such a place. (My wife once owned a restaurant and there is NO way...

.5 break to have lunch at a restaurant. And, I’ve done more on my own, on a few occasions, but why would you want to? I’ll make a few suggestions that you might be able to squeeze in between your planned stops. I’ve...
