Salt Creek Catering is fabulous. They are out of Reading. They also run the cafeteria at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge. Everything is homemade, delicious, and beautifully presented. Prices are the most reasonable...

Hey, go easy on Luby’s! Any native Texan worth his/her salt knows that Luby’s is an institution (it’s the source of LuAnn Platter’s name on King of The Hill for goodness sakes). It may not be the best but...

I am back from my weekend in Columbia County. Thanks for all the suggestions (in the thread some ways down). We ate dinner at Mina, a Culinary Institute offshoot in Red Hook. The dinner was fine, if not memorable. I had asparagus...

Whatever happened to that place? It was an institution. I can’t believe they just shut their doors.

La Zingara in Bethel is very good. Bernard’s is also good and has a special occasion feel. If you want to drive, one of my favorite birthday dinners was at the Culinary Institute. It was absolutely worth the ninety minute...

went.) I find the hands are a bit heavy on spices - Salt and Especially pepper. You also need to remember – just like the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park – that the students rotate. The guy serving you may be a cooking...

the beef is standard issue,wet aged Allen Bros. The steaks had a dirty tasting char and as previously mentioned no seasoning whatsoever. We ordered creamed spinach ($10.95), but were received fried spinach drowing in oil with way...

want to experience township (African) culture, find a tour group going out to Mzoli’s in the township. To see a local food artisan’s market, try the Neighbour Goods Market in Salt River on Saturday mornings. Go...
