I only think I have one that truly hits the mark here: - Hexle (sp?) in Stuttgart, Germany. I know it’s on the southern hills of the city. I had the Hochzeitsmal (wedding feast – a pork loin with sauce, and of course...

LOL, that reminded me of a classic foodie error I once made. A southern girlfriend turned me on to the joy of a “perfect” SPAM sandwich. Soft white bread, lots of mayo, slices of beautiful ripe tomato and pan-fried...

I find Cucina to be overpriced and pretentious. They take traditional dishes such as veal à la milanese and “update” them, making them just awful. It’s creativity for the sake of creativity, with nothing behind...

's al Pastór, and Seis Mesas. It’s not just limited to Mexican food, though. They don’t even bother to review Tony’s Southern Comfort. As to the results of the process, I can respect the concept that other people...
