Paul’s right. I often see booths in markets that are devoted to dried medicinal herbs; many foreigners ask me what dishes they are used in. The answer: none. Kare, a tea made of cat’s claw is supposed to give sexual...

Well, if you have the stamina, theres always Opera Cake, which I first heard about on chowhound. I have since tasted one hand carried for me from the Source! http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/recipes/dessert_opera.shtml

-cooking stamina for the week, heh... If anyone could mention some places with great soups/comfort food I would be so grateful, and if they delivered even better!—as I have to continue toiling away on a project. I’m...

quite a bit of Obelisk (where Ruta used to be a chef, right?), but richer and much more ample portions (to the point that I almost wished I’d ordered two courses, I just don’t have the best gourmand stamina these...

in the morning, only that’s a 2-minute exercise, and you may find yourself leaning on the (admittedly attractive) marble-topped tables for 2 hours, which would kind of kill the experience for me, but maybe you’ve got...

for rustic, traditional, non-touristy, less than $50 total. BTW, we are young (late 20s) and have plenty of stamina and energy. I know that I asked lots of questions. Any and all thoughts appreciated. To email me personally,...

to cook, nor do I have the stamina for the Saturday crowds at the grocery stores. I want to order out. But what should I get? Miso? Pho? Regular chicken noodle soup? Something else? And where? Delivery is preferred, but...

If you have the stamina for the tasting menu, it’s amazing, but I’m sticking to the four-course option in the future. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/548333

in a trip for some cow-girl creamery cheese at the ferry building (possibly resting at the wine bar there for a while... gotta keep up stamina). but we still need to find a place to eat lunch and maybe some other interesting...

Ate there for lunch today... I really love this place! Suamina Natto, which I found out today is just a typo for Stamina Natto, is great, but I think it needs to come with a spoon!

A second on NIPPON RAMEN as well. KYUSHU RAMEN is fine too—-it’s undergone a change in ownership from past years. But, HEY, a branch of Little Tokyo’s KORAKU is opening up in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Blvd., just...

language whiteboard announced a "stamina" special, I think it was unadon with a choice of two other items that escape me (couldn’t read it all anyway)...would imagine that was in honor of eel day as well. Think it was...

Sweetbreads with Fois Gras, beautiful combination. DH had the Whole Grilled Sole, and said that it was as good as it gets. They also had a multi course Fois Gras tasting menu which I think was 80E for those with the Stamina. What an...

I agree that a complaint was in order but the management attitude was so disinterested that we frankly couldnt be bothered to help them with their business whilst our stomachs were growling. Sure, if I had stamina and was not...

So it’s Unagi season and I need to get some of that good ol' stamina-strengthening food. Normally I buy the packaged Unagi Kabayaki at Marukai or Mitsuwa, which is delicious, cheap, and easy to make. But now I’m trying...
