it this way — a week later, I never remember what I ate at these places. You won’t be disappointed if you go to them, but overall I think they’re overrated.

Hi all... I’ve got an old friend who is based in Pittsburgh now, and I’m in the greater Phila area... the other week he suggested meeting up somewhere in the middle for dinner. A bit of searching led us to the idea of...

Both Agata and Valentina and Grace’s (UES) had it about two weeks ago....Agata was cheaper by two dollars a package as I recall.

We ate there a couple of weeks ago. We found the menu to be very limited and the food to be mediocre. Their “house specialty” pollo arrosto (roast chicken) was way overcooked and dry (I never order roast chicken in a...

I had the suckling pig at Alain Ducasse last week. The loin was in little circular slices and the shoulder was chopped and stuffed into a poached apple. This dish definitley has the signature of Christian Delouvrier, the new...

I’m going to Ottawa (from Montreal) this week-end and will probably drop by an LCBO store to see what they have Sherry-wise since our own selection (SAQ) is quite limited. I only went to the store on Rideau ( 275 rideau st.)...
