i agree that many of the dishes are oversalted, though that can vary from day to day, and location to location. I’ve been to three, always at the urging of others. I also find almost all of their sauces very sweet, even the...

My comment to its being posted on Eater LA: "I wrote the Chowhound post mentioned above, and I also sent Mozza an e-mail the day after expressing my displeasure at the experience via their website. It’s nice to see that the...

I agree wholeheartedly to the 1st two posts regarding Kona. I’ve never been impressed with it, and have always wondered why it gets so much attention. There are much more interesting Arabicas out there, grown at much higher...

" special, and the owner is a wonderfully sweet and charming man. Next time you’re in the area, you might want to check it out. Prices are good, given the quality of the food. (probably $10-15 per entree) 1116 Madison St Oak...

consider ourselves foodies because we love to eat food, talk about food, plan day trips, vacations, etc. around trying different kinds of foods, cheese, wine, produce, etc. etc. etc. where the enjoyment is not only in the...

ingrediants. I love the pumpkin in the fall. Nice salsa’s on the side so you can control your own heat. I just buy them without the rice and beans which is more than I can eat that early in the day. They are $3. A tamale...

the lightest, wateriest single espresso I have ever had. These were USD 300 + meals, mind you, not some regular, every day brasseries. This got me to thinking about what I am used to as an American. When I was trained for my first...

've ever tasted. The best pie that I tasted that day, and which I submitted for the Grand prize, was one made from ruby red grapefruits with a cream topping. Garishly bright pink, tangy, zesty and utterly delicious, that’s...

at Chez Panisse (to which we’ve never been). If we can get away without driving, we’ll take BART 9 blocks to the restaurant and leave next day. Can anyone here suggest a nearby hotel to stay afterwords and place for...
