I much prefer the french fries/poutine at the blue truck just south of Nathan Phillips Square (city hall) on Queen. Unfortunately, they don’t serve burgers, only hotdogs and sausages (avoid the German sausage!)

I wouldn’t bother with Bar BQ, the food is pretty bad. KitchenBar though, is a fun place to hang out and they have a new chef, so the food is good too. I tried Bar Toto when they first opened and thought the food was good,...

them up and store until needed. This is not my invention. Calif. chef and cookbook author Hugh Carpenter was doing a demo and book signing in a shop I was working in many years ago. I was assisting him in the kitchen and he...

possibly. Polenta is usually a ‘cake’ with sauteed veggies or something ‘gourmet’. Whatever. It’s all good food to me! Yes, regional differences as MakingSense calls it is truly what all this hogwash...

Mirabelle,(French) at 86 off Columbus,(decent). Go a little South to Lincoln Center area. Try Marika at 70th bet. Broadway & West End, or Picholine, pricy, at 64th, save room for cheese. There are tons of restaurants on the upper...

paternal Grandma (age 88) still cooks, nothing exotic, but very tasty middle American cuisine. And Christmas cookies, hundreds of dozens. Our neighborhood daycare lady was French and the woman could cook. I can still picture her...

Hi... An example of a MUCH earlier (and fairly well known, at least to alchemists and french freemasons) acronym is VITRIOL (sulfuric acid). 15th century alchemist Basilius Valentinus coined this Latin acronym/motto: Visita...

I was able to replicate the Chestnut Stuffing that was made at the French Market in Georgetown, DC (not sure if it’s still in business.) My family loves this and I double the recipe: 1 pound mild bulk sausage (I use turkey...

Don’t make bread too. Day old french from your local bakery will do just fine!

of New York? Are people afraid they’re too busy? They’re not. Do people think these great chefs are already rich? I doubt it. Do you think such great food will always be there for you? Not if they don’t have...

From my experience of working at one of the most expensive French restaurants in the country, my colleagues and I found it reasonable and fair to be tipped 10% for wines over $600. Many times, though, customers did not calculate...

in the time they had. And of course, there’s a sauce you have to add, which one of the contestants forgot. I am absolutely sure that this happens in mediocre restaurants all over the place. But I have to wonder if this...

I have also not found ANY problem with their produce, some of their milk is from Strauss Dairies, and many of their Italian/French breads are crackly fresh....!

You should have had the french toast at ice box.

We buy and drink chards, just not “mass produced” chards. A producer like Arger-Martucci. Dr. Arger loves French and that’s the way his chard is made. It has acid, goes great with food, is not over oaked. We buy...
