for dinner #1. I ate at a place called Restoran Fu Xi, where I ordered wonton mee (which I thought was a soup), but it ended up being a plate of noodles in a tasty brown sauce, topped with some sautéed greens and sliced roast...

The Sultan in the downtown LA jewelery district is good too for roasted chicken with garlic sauce

was unimpressive (maybe even soggy?), and the taste was underwhelming. I want to give it another chance, but don’t want to be disappointed again. By way of comparison, I was much more impressed with my dinner a couple of...

So wasteful! Just because a cut isn’t perfect after a couple minutes on the grill doesn’t mean it’s useless. I love braising, and my pot roast is tender and delicious. In miserable winter months I’ll take...

but they know how to turn a roast or leg of lamb there. The whole silly and fussy experience is a nice one, if one does it for the rare occassion. And although I do it less (as it’s too formal,) in thinking about it a...

Foodies get a bad rep when they do things like go on and on about things like the “Slow Food culture” like they invented pot roast. I live near Seattle and there is a eat local movement here. Sometimes I hear local...

We ordered from Pepe’s last night – a Grandma’s pie and a slice of the roasted eggplant special. The eggplant slice was great. The sauce was very flavorful on the Grandma’s pie (plenty of garlic, a taste...

oh...I am disappointed after reading your subject line. Brussel sprouts aren’t wierd at all, especially when baked or roasted, which is the best way to make them. (Your friends who say ‘eeww’ may not have ever...

become to find fatty enough brisket for making my own corned beef or even pot roasts/“sholet” meat that wouldn’t dry out. I was reduced to buying “point,” since it was the fattier end. Is it possible...
