- the stuff goes very quickly, and is always being replenished.) They also have a variety of desserts- excellent banana pudding, mile-high cakes-you get the idea. Eating at Charles is more like eating at your Grandma’s (that...

description. I’m a dessert person and I wasn’t disappointed. I had the sour cream apple pie, which was excellent, but my husband’s pineapple upside-down cake, covered with brown sugar, butter, or something, was a...

was just ok. Dinners we had the soft shell crab and free range chicken and neither was exceptional (entrees were like $35 each). For desert we had the Napoleans and a piece of chocolate cake. The chocalate cake was too dry to eat...

I usually avoid Emeril Live but I watched a few minutes of that show last night (1/5). It was about soul food and his guest was Sylvia of Sylvia's Restaurant uptown. She baked her Red Velvet Cake which turned out to be a bright red...

Where can I get the best chicken and waffles in the city? I’ve heard good things about Londel’s but am curious about Sylvia's and Amy Ruth’s. Thoughts?

and seasonings, but again, nothing one hasn’t had at other good places. I enjoyed a delicate banana mousse/chocolate cake for dessert; the others had homemade ice cream. Pleasant evening, certainly good for the price, but...

Though I don’t have dreams about it like the Melrose Dinner cake person, there’s something about good, chunky chicken salad. Not that awful minced stuff out of the plastic container like some delis. So I wanted to do...

Thanks so much. I know I’ll try the cake, and I’ve been needing an easy caramel icing recipe. Years ago, a friend’s grandmother used to make this kind of cake and we all loved it. Maybe I’ve found it! Sylvia

Looking forward to a first time visit to Angelina tonight with one other couple. Looking for suggestions for some shared apps & “don't miss” entrees as well (we’re skipping dessert — some sort of birthday...
