At a fussy haute-French tasting menu place the chef leaving can be a major event, but all those places you mention make relatively simple food and the kitchen crews are experienced enough that the head chef leaving or being out...

was amazingly ticked about something the entire time. The tipoff was the karate kicks she was delivering to the kitchen door. When I saw the first one, I sort of assumed that was how you entered the kitchen here. After the second...

After attending a performance Sat. night at P.S. 122 (unexpectedly fabulous, by the way — called Avant Garde Arama, hosted by the singing trio White Knuckle Sandwich), we spontanoeusly went across the street to Flor’s...

We love to have our kids in the kitchen. They have a table for them to work at, and it includes their fake cooking stuff. It is just their size, which I think helps with that extra hazard of falling off a chair. I highly...

Last time I was at Sawtelle Kitchen (mid July?) there was a sign up saying they would be closed for remodelling. Does anybody have info on the status of that? I tried calling their phone number (310) 445-9288 and got a recording...

Two fellow hounds and I checked out Panda Country Kitchen last night and had a very good (though I wouldn’t say great) meal. The company, of course, was excellent. We shared the following: House Special #39 Szechwan Style...

I recently purchased a 44 year old home in need of a new kitchen. I am researching mid-priced major appliance brands, but am disturbed by the posts I am finding. It seems ALL brands seem to have major issues. I will be purchasing...

You also have Azuri Cafe 51 and 10th (I think). Hallo Berlin, Amy’s Bread, Manganero’s and Heroboy. These may not be "unexpected," but they are all cheap and good.

I recently went to the Notebaert Nature Museum in Lincoln Park of Chicago, and they had this great exhibit about going “green” in the kitchen. For those of you who don’t know, to go green means to use products...
