I just made a slow-cooked pork roast, and accompanied it with roasted pineapple. I loved it. I’m definitely in agreement with you about the deliciousness of salty and sweet. Favorites include: -watermelon with a little (very...

Hello Chowhounders! I have been married for 1 month and realize that I was raised by wolves! I love good food, I am willing to do the work but I can’t find any great recipes(or is it me...lol) I find a book-a few things are...

-ins on the slab, the line moves glacially. I think it will get a little quicker as the newness wears off the but the slab mixin thing ensures that it will stay a little slow also did i mention it’s kinda steep for a waffle...

it at a slightly lower temperature for longer, or using a water bath to slow down/even out the cooking. Also, honestly, what you’re looking for doesn’t sound like the ideal of any quiche I’ve eaten or tasted....

And I’d be remiss if i didn’t begin a discussion regarding one of my favorite comfort food places that I have discovered during my short stay in Chicago. SoupBox, located at 2943 Broadway in Lakeview, has fast become...

't a concern when coming here as long as we got our fill of lobster.We spent 400.00 that day and bought nothing but food and drinks.When we got home the next day we went to a local place in Wisconsin and had a 20oz. tail for...

of course for slow cooking- I make soup in mine regularly and absolutely no steam escapes.

. The salt lick is the buca di beppo of BBQ around here. Sometimes the food is not the most important thing, but at least it is passable. But aren’t we lucky to have all of these great joints in the area? The finer points and...

ramen to be had in L.A. — you will know it when you taste it. Think about those places that have great soup: totally different from canned soup. It’s all about the slow-cooked broth and the homemade noodles. Daikokuya...

I haven’t tried the pizza but I agree with you – shouldn’t denigrate a fast food place for not taking cards, and also for not being in the most pristine area. Heck, then we should all bash Harold and...

What’s the best: Murray’s, Artisanal, Ideal, Zabar’s or Fairway? I am going to give Despana an honorable mention too. If anyone suggests Whole Foods I’ll have to have them thrown off the Board.

I heartily second the recommendations for Jin Patissire (especially for the tea service) and EuroPane. I don’t think it’s worth your time to stop at Bluebird—the food is just okay in my opinion. I also like...
