agreed...usual suspects is one of my all-time faves [even though i knew who soze was halfway through the movie]. keyser soze was a sneaky criminal mastermind with a very well concealed identity, whereas bourdain is bold,...

3 from Baltimore as well. Also the French chef is actually wearing a cravat. How on-the-nose is that?

Some quick thoughts on last night’s Top Chef . . . 1. I love Suzanne Goin. She was one of the best guest judges they’ve had. 2. the low brow vending machine challenge . . . nice to see some of them really pull it off...

10 minutes in and I’m already annoyed at this show, this network, and the lacklustre skills and attitude of this season’s cheftestants. Say what you will, I always liked Marcel best of all the chefs, and really hope he...

however you may have felt about Besh winning (and i get that he was popular and a great chef) it has to be noted that symon in NO way was sneaky or mean or backstabbing in that competition. you may have liked the other guy... but...

Spice Grill (on Chambers, I think) has very good food for delivery. Actually on some dishes it compares favorably with Tamarind (a Flatiron place that is highly regarded.) Changed hands recently, but we were told the chef stayed...

In this thread, http://www.chowhound.com/topics/395567 someone mentioned "The Sneaky Chef" which is pretty much the same concept as Seinfeld’s book. It was published earlier this year. I read it. It had some interesting...

Despite my best efforts, I have yet to have sufficiently hot, cheesy, and spicy nachos. You hear a lot of chowhype about sneaky dees “kings crown” nachos but i find them cold, and disappointing. Follow these...

what a great place. The wine list is fantastic. The balsamic vinegar and olive oil list is just as impressive. Enjoy. Its a rather “dark” room, fitting for romantic encounters or a sneaky rendezvous, more so than a...

since you’re all "sneaky" and “in the know” :)

-inch slice. If I were served something so gross, I’d send it back and ask the chef to cut it into bite-sized pieces and give me enough rice to go 'round.

To get omakase, do you have to specifically ask for “omakase” directly? I had my first ever sushi bar experience there. I made a couple orders for things I had had before, but then after chatting a bit with the chef,...
