whole-belly Ipswich clams. While not clam-shack wonderful, it’s a typical NE chain family-style restaurant. Oh, you mentioned Italian also and the only fast-food Italian “chain” that comes to mind is...

I would say the Hong Kong International Airport. There’s a whole range of food there, from fast food to full sit down restaurants. Off the top of my head I think there are 10 real restaurants and 15-20 “faster”...

of this board, we are able to do so without restriction (except for libel, of course!) On the whole we treat everyone with respect, but are happy to have this forum where we can be honest, whether we have something good or bad to...

is a hound too and(hangs head) we did plan a trip around food. We went to WDW for the food and wine festival and ate at most of the premier restaraunts there on the meal plan. Planned whole days around it I should be ashamed but...

i was able to get away with a reasonable bill and be quite satisfied. wine is a whole other subject and i could see that helping your costly bill.

onions w/balsamic glaze Carrot & rutabaga puree Mashed potatoes Cranberry sauce w/ juniper, bay, shallots & sherry vinegar A long walk, then: Apple crumb pie Pecan pie Pumpkin pie Maple tart (the only thing in the WHOLE menu that my 13...

I hope you succeed. This whole thread is just so weird to me because I have had hundreds of meals in Chinatown and NEVER have I seen glop such as you describe. Perhaps you are ordering the wrong things. I’d never order a...

tamales on the planet. I wouldn’t stand before her and say, "But gramma, those’re not authentic!" (She’d’ve given a dismissive wave to the whole idea of “authentic,” as she was an inventive,...

Chef, Thanks for that info. Yes, apparently there’s a whole eel/baby eel industry in the US that I never knew about. Apparently, it’s an entirely diff species from the European ones that make their way back across the...

ordering the house salad and inexpensive pasta, tough. Coffee without dessert, get over it. Attitude translates into less tip. If the waiter pulls that “Tap Crap” leave less of a tip and make sure you tell the manager...

I thought Midland in Yonkers was absolutley terrible. tried it on several separate occasions and was just totally boring. Sub par for the area. (Westchester/NYC style) Angelinos in Tuckahoe is good for whole pies but the slices...

came to plan a celebratory lunch with my father and sister, I asked Spago to make a tasting menu lunch and re-create that dessert. The whole point of the lunch was the dessert. So we go today, and get seated near enough to the...

's —which has gone downhill and is still ok, but not great, Lorie’s Diner which was surprisingly good, but very noisy, and Sear’s Fine Food which is a tourist trap and not worth the time. We liked staying...
