though. I never actually ate there. I went in, sat down, looked over the menu and thought ... maybe I should ask about this on Chowhound ... and left. Here’s the inquiry I posted on Chowhound a few years back. It seems to...

I used to teach a one-night “basic sushi” course, years ago – it was tough to get my target audience (those who wanted a first-time foothold on the topic) and discourage those who would be disappointed not to...

. Almost everything we ate, I could have made at home (buy some fresh oysters, hit up a farmer’s market for seasonal greens, get some good prosciutto from the deli, roast a chicken, sear a thick pork chop, bake a flourless,...

What do you mean by “Carolina Barbecue?” Which Carolina? (There are 2, you know.) Eastern NC (Vinegar & Pepper)? “Lexington” type (vinegary, but with tomato)? Central SC (Mustard-Based)? NE SC (Much like...

My Fellow Hounds, Something was revealed to me over the weekend that I feel compelled to share w/ you. If I were to take a poll, I’m sure that nearly every one of you who frequents this board has made one to hundreds of...

with walnuts, grapes, and a green salad (huh?), no stupid jams or honey. Great wine list, nice how everything's available by the glass, had a chilled Brouilly and a superior Saumur. Fun atmosphere, good service. The bill was...

back at least once before the end of fair days, and therefore am very interested in hearing other fairgoers' recommendations. So: what was the best food you ate at the fair this year? Yesterday’s fair chow standouts (in my...

left was a half-gallon, so I was stuck with twice as much inferior milk as I needed. Meanwhile, my friend (who set this whole chain of events in motion by demanding hot chocolate), wanted a “goodie” to go with it. The...

on a scoop of the coffee-cardamom and one of the vanilla. Both flavors had bunches of ice crystals! Inexcusable! It boggles my mind that a place so ballyhooed, so pedigreed, could be too busy with who-knows-what-all to really...
