the way through so the cold half was disappointing. My brother-in-law ordered the Kerala Grilled Fish – they were out of Kerala Grilled Fish. We all tried the Karakudi Chicken which was decent – we were shorted one...

Of course I will but I need a spare second to jot them down. Plus, mine all seem so mundane...guess that is the point right? Oh YEAH and I hardly ever cook to just please my kids otherwise I’d be eating nastiness all of the...

Well, that settles it for me – and serves me right to go on conventional wisdom without testing the truth of the claim.

're right about the pot stickers, I make them ahead, store then on corn starch dusted baking sheets and covered with saran, and stashed in the other 'frig (if you have that option) and then making them at service time, well, for...

was not bad — even though all tables were full, except for the 3 booths, and we had two parties of 10 right next to us. Oh, and we sat at the bar with some friends who were not joining us for dinner, and were ready for our...

, wonderful stuff! Don’t blame the whole cheese just because of a bad batch that probably wasn’t stored right. Gorgonzola Dolce is kind of a less complex variant that hasn’t done much for me on the occasions...

I DO tip for take-out especially when it’s from a sit-down restaurant. It seems to me that there’s a server who is taking time from tip-producing serving to make sure my order is right and then pack it up for me, and...

thought of as fusion cuisine, right? I find it unfair that so many people expect (and sometimes demand) that high-end Chinese restaurants serve Western wine. Isn’t it a bit like walking into a French restaurant and wondering...

adventurous dining partners (if at all). Parking might also be something to consider. I’m searching my archives (located right here in my feeble mid-life impaired brain) for some of those “strip mall gems”...

all questions (see below for exception). The pacing was excellent, no long pauses or rushed service anywhere along the way. The total 3½ hours plus is necessary – even then we were struggling at the end. To the food –...

wife, Thuy, was a good way to get into the swing of a new country and culture. His place is bright, clean and fun. Didn’t get a chance to eat there. Was going to when we returned to Saigon, but we didn’t return to...

serving briskly stir-up the natto with your chopsticks to further develop the natto “threads”. In this way you can develop more of the “neba neba” [mucilageonous] quality from the natto culture.) If you...

If they want to stay in the ballpark, price-wise, more of Lucy’s Table than Wildwood, suggest Park Kitchen, clarklewis, Lauro, or Fife. (Plus, Lauro is right across the street from Pix!) All better meals, imo.

-based drink (alcoholic or not). I do not think it is horrible to hold a communist themed party, by the way. Communist-themed art is in all the galleries, and I do not see Nazi art on displays much.

he’s right the stock is made before hand in store and it sits around in huge pots waiting for the order
