This thread sates back quite a long way but I happened to see this on the Slice website today and I remembered the Pizza Cone discussion: the photographic evidence: new, unretouched, actual photos of the Pizza-in-a-Cone

Actually, Orange Julius had a stand in the Lenox Mall foodcourt but it closed after about a year ... maybe too exotic?

contemporary southern cuisine: Horseradish Grill mentioned here among other local places. website for Horseradish Grill ... .. read their menus for truly classic southern delights! the owner is a great guy, Steve Alterman, whose children were in my classes.

Prime Meridian Restaurant in the Omni itself is wonderful! More discussion here, much of it on Buckhead which is not too far

Oh my God! You have to purchase appliances for blogging?? I was just going to clean my kitchen up a bit and tidy the fridge! This runs into big bucks!

Most of these posts echo my thinking as well. In this highly mobile society, travelers often use their laptops to plan out dining options in cities they plan to visit. Even though I may not be traveling, I peruse websites prior to dining out in my home city. New places open and I want to see whether they are worth my time and money to spend on a meal. I think that online menus, as I said earlier in this thread, give places visibility. Essential to their own success!

and, because they are presented in our very own Recipe Gullet, they are always reliably correct and tested by our members!

By way of explanation: from ChabadThe holiday of Shavuot is upon us ... is anybody making something new and interesting? There are a number of great dairy dishes mentioned earlier in this thread ..Recipe Gullet cheese recipes (some 46 of them!) exceptionally fine article on the holiday here

article in NYT James Conway Sr., 78, a Founder of Mister Softee, Dies Anyone remember this?

McCrady's for their new chef, Sean Brock most assuredly worth the meal ...

I realize that many smaller places don't get into having a website but I am usually delightfully surprised when they do ... however, those places need not feel that they must post something about what they are offering .... it is, of course, very important to be "visible" and those with websites do offer that option.

But is it better than the same tired old bread tray introduction to a meal ?

If I am at a restaurant for tasting menu dining, I have come to expect an amuse bouche. I find it enhances the entire experience and it says, to me, that the chef cares about how his diners' pleasure. I fully expect the amuse to provide an explosion of flavors in my mouth which increases my anticipation of what will follow. The amuses may offer the chef an opportunity to use ingredients in very small amounts which would prove to be far too expensive to do as a full course, like caviar. from Eric Ripert, December 2002 on eGullet ...

Verjuice once mentioned that she lives in the United Arab Emirates .. now that is really hot!

The 'visual' on this makes my back ache!

Because my home kitchen is kosher, I always order foods which are 'forbidden' at home: bacon, ham, pork chops, shrimp, lobster, scallops (preferably on the same plate!) ... yeah, pretty much anything that allows me to "sin culinarily" ...

article from the NYTimes What type of grill are you using? Do you upgrade as the people in the article have done? Is this "overkill"? Is this an area of cooking in which too much of a good thing is never enough?

article here Have you ever thought about the height of your food prep area and whether it is suitable for your personal needs?

Thinking about the heat and what kinds of foods I might wish to avoid during that heat and humidity which encompass Atlanta like a curtain ... inspiration for this post from Slashfood.com What's on your list? Lots of Mexican spicy foods (which make me sweat) are something I avoid ...

What's not to be impressed?? click here for a bit of heaven!

When I was in Budapest last year, I used Fodor's Guides to check out dining options and was fortunate to find some delightful places .. see which appeal to you among those offered ... I enjoyed Kiskakkuk. more Budapest options of all sorts .. keep turning the pages for more and more ...

Probably Rapunzel .. or something Italian, I would imagine ... A sidebar here: If you don't know about Therese and her love of intricate trivia, which have been known to keep me up nights, a caveat here: she never asks a question which doesn't have deep multi-level learning involved .. you will always learn from her trivia ... so, get the Ambien, here she comes again!

Dimsum, I envy you that you might have the option of living in the Triangle area! I often read the many posts here and wish it was my destination! Some very interesting, and, I hope, helpful discussions on the Triangle exist here: Best restaurants in the Triangle is here Chapel Hill discussion here Enoteca Vin in Raleigh discussion here Three new dining options in the Triangle here Japanese food in the Triangle is here Food lovers' Guide to the Triangle is here This is about food shopping and is quite interesting! Please note: anything written about food in the Triangle by our own manager Dean McCord ("Varmint") is exceptionally reliable. He knows the area and the food like few others ...

This has been a revelation, Therese, that Oriental Pearl has reopened here in Chamblee, Georgia .. this had been my favorite dim sum place for ages and I thought I had read about it being closed permanently (much to my dismay).Is this true as of today? source for this info
