Thanks, but maybe more like, “if it hadn't been for Chowhound.” This is a great board. I also went to Tops for lunch today and I got three Kobe burgers to-go. I did not have to travel but maybe 12 to 15 min. away but...

Nice tip. I never bothered with the entertainment books but I definately would have had I known about the coupons for groceries. I shop at Raley’s regularily. Not so often at Whole Foods anymore because in the East Bay I...

The kind of meat you use matters. Rather than traditional stew meats (chuck), I like to use sirloin tips, cut to about 1 1/2" cubes. You don’t cook it as long as, but there’s plenty of connective tissue and fat...

so why cant they just disappear? Even a board as primitive as Fodor’s travel board or old chowhound marked posts read when you click on them.

they eat. This is probably one of the top tips I’ve seen on Chowhound in the four years that I’ve been reading the boards ... or one could order the chicken tamale and look no further ... nothing wrong with that...

Oakland, Md (western tip-minutes from WV border) Very rural area-not a food mecca by any means...but it would be peperoni rolls and ramp dinners in the spring. And morel mushrooms if you are lucky enough to know someone to find...

gets me is a tip jar on the bar. As far as changing your mind, I would not contact the bride in advance about this. Food changes are things the last thing a bride would want to hear about, with everything she has to do. It...

't that affect the taste of the final product? Yesterday I read a little tip, I believe it was in a Better Homes and Gardens mag, but I’m not positive on that. It said, if you are going organic that this was the order of...

, and other functions going on. It’s hard enough getting people to show up at all, I would never think to ask them to bring food along, especially if they have to travel by car/subway to get to my place. As regards the...

Jim we must live real close to each other . We sure travel to the same places . What ever happen to Pearsons BBQ ?

it at the counter and tip a buck a sandwich) the dogs are great too. Washed down with a Brooklyn Brewery ale and you are in heaven. A fan of authentic spicy Sichuan ? Grand sichuan-a few branches. Believe it or not not every city...

Eat_Nopal, this sounds very good! My problem is getting Mexican goods, esp. fresh ones. But the spinach etc options are do-able. Thanks for the tip. I thought the potatoes called for were too many, I’d have no trouble...

. This is part of the voyage, and I’m not upset at anyone, and thankful for all the posts, both to my request and others I read through (and my full report is coming soon), but it seemed that people knew c-town well, and a...

. Let me end with this. Chicago is a very big city. Areawise, it is much bigger than New York. As you may have also heard, it is a bit on the segregated side. While Andersonville is pretty diverse, expect to travel, by car, to get...
