Recently, when there was the Dine-About-Town promotions, a friend and I availed of 2 or the pricier joints. Our pre-tip bill at both places came to about $58 (the lunch deal) and like $70 for the dinner. My friend insisted that...

to ethnic food, so I spent days preparing a Lebanese feast: hummus, baba ghanouj, three types of kibbee, tabbouleh, stuffed carrots and zucchini, stuffed grape leaves, etc. It was a magnificent, if somewhat exhausting expenditure...

The feverent devotion to Anatolia Kebab on this board is a bit off-putting. I had lunch there yesterday. It was good, but I mean it’s no Gene and Judes. Clearly, Anatolia Kebab falls into the catagory of you are what you...

are three kinds of restaurants—Italian, Italian and Italian". (Myself, having owned two Italian restaurants in a past life, I’m really fussy about Italian—so many triumphs of style over substance, and so often...

Ok, I will be the one. I put things in my oven on 200-250 when I come home for lunch and my other gets home around 445. I make giant pots of stock that sit on the stove from 8am-8pm and I barely look at them. Does my life stop...

at Larry Market on Lower Queen Anne. I used to, but had three bad experiences in a row there. Fish that was off, Bad produce, and a really bad chicken. Also I had a bad experience with their “epicurion club” . The...

County called Jerry’s Seafood. I even had a post on it last night when I couldn’t get in. But I’ve been there before and honestly know that it hasn’t changed. Call and ask for their specific hours....

into custom overstock at Mary B. Best on Grand Ave., were the mainstays of my childhood. I remember that my mom’s favorite self-indulging lunch post-Oakland Kaise doctor’s appointment was a crab salad sandwich and a...

In the Sherman Oaks area, there is Carnival at 4356 Woodman, just north of Ventura Blvd that is quite good and the Crossroads Cafe adjacent to Valley College, which is fast-food looking and not meant for dinner-type dining, is...

My daughter ended up at BU. They have a lot of different meal plans there which are priced the same, but since to go back to a dorm at lunch is inconvenient, hardly anyone takes that plan. Generally, they select a certain number...

on Filipino cuisine can serve as excellent primers and three in particular, lend refreshing perspectives. Romy Dorotan and Amy Besa are the folks behind NYC’s CENDRILLON, which for over a decade, has both introduced and...

As I was walking through the Financial District on the way to treating myself to lunch at Mangia Tutti (per Andrew Raskin), it occurred to me it might be possible to use Starbucks as a unit of measure: How far is it? Not far, only...

, donuts from three different south side donut shops: the Donut Drive-In, World’s Fair Donuts, and St. Louis Hills Donut Shop. I’ve never tried any of them, but I think Brown may be on to something. If you do go...
