I’d say La Fin du Monde is a Belgian-style tripel. Try other examples from Allagash, Fat Tire, Westmalle, Chimay white label, etc. It tends to be very clean tasting, while some of the others may be fruitier. Don de Dieu has...

to get in the car, you have far more options. As Tripeler noted, the Waterboy (Cal-Mediterranean) is delicious, as is Biba (Northern Italian). And I like Aioli Bodega Espana a lot. If you venture over to Broadway, the ethnic...

I’m hankering for some fresh raw fish, various kinds. I want to buy some from a good fish market that deals in high quality raw fish and shellfish and UNI. Where do sushi chefs in SF go for their raw fish every morning?

Without going into too much mind-numbing detail, no, Chimay grand reserve (which is the large-bottle version of Chimay blue) isn’t a tripel. Actually, Chimay white is closer to a tripel style. VERY strange that you like...

Trippel: (bottle) great! Barbar: (bottle) just okay! La Greopparde: (bottle) hoppy. Smooth and mellow, but sharp after taste. Witkap Tripel: (bottle) very good tripel. Quintine Blonde: (bottle) delicious Gouden Carolus D’Or Cuvee Van...

Tripeler, thanks for this info. I think immigration history as it relates to culinary options in Japan (and elsewhere) is fascinating . :)

We would like to go to a dim sum restaurant that serves unusual dishes in addition to the standard dim sum dishes. What would you suggest?

I work in the Financial District. With free transportation today, I’m itching to get out at lunch for an excursion and food experience. Where would you go?

I am headed to the La Quinta Resort for a weekend golf trip with my buddy. Are there any awesome steakhouses that are very close to the resort? If not, then are there any other restaurants near the resort that are awesome (any...

I read about Osaka-Ya from a poster on the SF Bay Area board. Made fresh daily for 43yrs. Anyone else have experience getting their snow cones, manju, mochi? There’s 65 reviews on Yelp 4.5 stars which is Great! Website:...

I just got back from a trip to England, where I rediscovered cider, which I had loved drinking while an exchange student over there years ago. It was even better than I remembered! I tried a long time ago to find it in the US,...

I know the kaito fans won’t care about this, but the guy has worked at some pretty high profile spots: "After receiving his culinary degree at the California School of Culinary Arts in Pasadena, Sinsay eventually landed at...

I haven’t seen many people when I have walked by there, but am always curious to know where good bbq can be found. Anyone try it yet? Thanks!

If food quality is not your primary concern, I’d enthusiastically suggest Capone’s in East Norriton. As of this past Saturday their tap list included: 1. Brasserie des Geants Tripel “Belgium style” - wonderful 2....

I will b e in Tokyo next month and would like my inlaws to a American style Thanksgiving dinner. Does anyone one know a place I can take them? Thanks for any help.
