" pretty well. JKWB is a place that should be noted for doing “Canadian” exceptionally well. So too with Canoe, Splendido, Patriot (RIP)... maybe even something like Red’s, George... where they’re doing...

Salt is terribly unhealthy, unfortunately a lot of us seem to crave the stuff, and I think many restaurants play to this. Making something over salty, or overly sweet, seems to generate more sales to certain, indiscriminate...

ordered and inoffensive in flavor and texture. They had Francis Coppola Diamond Series Claret by the glass...a very solid wine. I’ve had WAY worse.

Welcome to the general discussion thread for the November 2006 Cookbook of the Month, Mexico, One Plate at a Time by Rick Bayless. Use this thread to make general comments about the cookbook or discuss the whole...

and they share kitchens; the second was opened to accommodate demand – a hell of a recommendation. The quality/price combo keeps them popular with students, the location is great and they make a killer shawarma pizza.

question, food in the UK is more expensive than in the US, but then, we in the US tend to enjoy cheaper gasoline and cheaper electricity, in addition to cheap food. Our food in this country may be abundant, and it may be cheap,...

Piola looks like a possibility. What if I said 10-20 dollars per entree....would that make it easier? They said that a BIT more expensive is okay for one of the nights (nice-ish setting would be good too). Also, places that are...

pasta dishes as well. In Highland Village. Mayflower Café. A downtown, 50s diner that has retained its character. Like many places in Jackson, there is a Greek influence on the food. The seafood salad is especially memorable....

the closest (crust, sauce, cheese) to NY pizzas I’ve ever had. Don’t know anything about their water source either. So I no longer think it’s the water that makes the wonderful crust. Such a mystery!

Fine choices. Hell’s Kitchen would be my top choice for breakfast. You will need to make a reservation if you want to avoid waiting. Vincent is excellent — I’d rate it well above Alma. The tasting menu is always...
