that girl could put away some hamburgers. I’m talking a Red Robin monster burger and a Cheesecake Factory double burger. She said they didn’t give you enough meat on burgers in Germany. One thing she absolutely...

Were they orangic and “vegetarian” eggs? A lot of organic eggs come from vegetarian-fed chickens who produce terrible eggs. It seems odd to me that people would impose a vegetarian lifestyle on animals that, like...

. Sudachi is a small, round, green citrus fruit that is relatively unknown outside Japan. I couldn’t really taste the flavor of the sudachi. The concept sounded very interesting but fell short in execution. Carpaccio of Pen...

Your post cut and pasted, plus my thoughts. I took out the places I don’t have an opinion on, and my add-ins are in bold. Burger: Zuni’s—you are aware that it’s delicious but non traditional, right? Blue...

Hide Sushi on Sawtelle. Although I haven’t been for a year (we moved) we used to go very regularly. I’ve never had anything but fresh and delicious fish, the prices are unbeatable for the quality, the cooked and side...

Calimari is the most OVER COOKED food you can get- Fried Clams are usually just as over cooked Omlettes and pasta round out this list. I find that places that serve veggies- either UNDERCOOK them or they are overcooked. Never had a...

restaurant. Further down there’s the better of the two Shimo’s...Shimo’s restaurant #1. Best sushi in the area. We even saw Robin Williams get takeout from there! Further down from there past 25th is Cafe Mario...

your hosannas; but alas, no such luck. Nor did it seem to be the sort of place where the crabcakes would be any different the next time 'round: they were pre-formed, and the preparation consisted of dunking them for a good long...

. It tastes like mud year-round because it comes out of a really, really muddy flatland river. (They call it Verdigris because that’s what color it is.)

places are bar & grills. It’s true that the comparison is to the TGIF’s and Ground Round's, rather than to McD’s. But there are plenty of local b&g’s that serve delicious burgers and steaks. In fact, I...

. But since in America we accept instant foods, fake soy burgers and fake bacon and pizza as viable alternatives for vegetarians as the result of a lack of a culturally well-established and nutritionally rounded vegetarian diet,...

goods on the market that are all about marketing sizzle, with mark-ups of 500 to 1000% or more. That Gucci or Prada item that sells for $800 only costs $14 to make. Let the buyer decide where he wishes to throw his money....

Yeah I wouldnt get bent out of shape about it...having said that Americans suffer from being overpolite sometimes me thinks, so yunno...something like "listen ......so and so...give the ribs a miss and bring a bottle of wine this...

connection to the GI audience in the area, and the usual feel good Robin Williams nonsense. If forced to work with that movie, I would have done a riff on an army issue MRE.
