In DC — Les Halles and, perhaps surprisingly, Smith & Wollensky. Good steakhouse burger as well.

You’re right...While Morton’s and Magnum’s both claim that their beef is “aged”, they don’t specify that it’s dry-aged. Two steakhouses in the Chicago area that apparently do serve...

EASTERN TREK And of course we must mention once again, with accolades, the excellent lentil soup served at “The Armenian Kitchen” on Victoria Park just north of Eglinton. I slipped down there one very frigid evening a...

peas, white asparagus and slow cooked tomato confit with horseradish potatoes and port wine demi-glace. This was served with Virgin Hills Red, Victoria, 1999. This was the “safe” course of the evening and was very...

. We also were thinking about a Smith Island Wedding Cake because we love Smith Island Cake and my Mother helped some business women who make them get a grant... But we got referrals from some people for this place for a Smith...

Generally speaking, these are styles that I think are well-suited to such a meal: Samuel Smith's – English Nut Brown ale, Oatmeal Stout, Taddy Porter Rodenbach – Grand Cru Lindeman’s – Kriek, Pomme, or Peche...

What about the restaurant at the Inn at Bay Fortune? TV Star Chef Michael Smith used to cook there and when I went (a few years ago), it was wonderful.

on Sunday night 12) The Grenadier for a country pub-like gem 13) Sam Smith's pubs 14) Dog and Duck for a tiny and beautiful Victorian pub

that night we’ll be in Richmond so I was looking at Victoria St. I’m having trouble differentiating between the restaurants but I’ve read favorable reviews of Tho Tho, Minh Minh, and Thy Thy. We’ll probably just check the menus...

Thanks, Mrs. Smith, for a very inspiring and chowish post. While not a veteran maker of pizza at home, I have made a few pies. My dough always includes a wee bit of oil and sugar, which makes for easier shaping of the dough, but...

the parking lot from Green Frog is Country Club Liquors and they have a great deli and may carry fresh mozz. When you find the right coffee, you need to go to Smith's Bakery (on Union at 178 is one), where you MUST try a cream...

A great steakhouse should be all about the steak really. I like it when they offer a choice of cuts and ageing. I have found Smiths of Smithfield great for steak, although (sorry Greedy Girl) my boyfriend swears by Gaucho’s...
