Flay should have won that episode for those grits alone.

What is this dish? It sounds like Coq au vin with beef instead of chicken.

Tuna salad pizza. Crust Standard Tuna Salad Cheese Tomato Bake.

Any burger with a fried egg on top.

Anyone know of places in Philly that allow you to smoke hookah? A hookah bar-type place is preferable to a restaurant that has hookahs. Bonus points if they have middle-eastern style teas. Super-bonus points if it actually has teas as well as a liquor license.

I went there a couple of weeks ago. The service was efficient and attentive. The food was good for the price. The best were the chicken liver croquettes, which were tasty. I wish they'd serve us more of them however. Just slightly bigger appetizers would have been the perfect size. The entrees were well cooked, and portions were good. The cod dish was real buttery, which is good if you like buttery food. In terms of ambience restaurant is a bit on the cold side. It feels like it needs a fireplace or something to warm it up a bit. However, the place is very quiet, which lends itself to conversation well.

That area is not even remotely close to dangerous, despite Laban's comments about running to the ATM after dark.

Much easier just to buy lump raw crab meat if you're gonna do it that way.

Flay won because he went very spicy on one dish, sealing the deal for a few judges. Could this be a hint as to what the American judges tend to enjoy? We'll see.

I use Barilla pasta. Their sauce is good too.

I've probably accidently ingested a stir-fried kitten sometime in my life.

I make the best Chili in the Eastern United States.

I sit on my partners lap and she feeds me.

A 5 year-old box of Kraft Mac n Cheese.

That's okay. they already spit in your food too.

Yeah, I hear that's what they do in Australia

Some old curmudgeons here, I see. I really couldn't give two shits if a waiter kneels down to eye level or taps me on the shoulder while handing me the check. Hell, by kneeling down, it reduces the strain in my neck from having to look up at him. All I care about is whether my water gets refilled on time and my food comes out properly.

Sorry to say this, but these etiquette rules are just so... "white". Remember the boring WASPy parents in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding?" These are the types of rules they would observe at the table, all the while talking softly about what went on last week at the country club. I don't observe them. Our country is the melting pot, in which case, archaic etiquette rules about "continental dining" are thrown out the window. I'll be polite, yes. But I'm not going to start tucking in my elbows and spooning my soup away from me, as I feel it makes me look like a douchebag.

Lots of Jews also like taking their shoes off upon entering the house as well as playing mahjongg.

Seems that most meals end with this.

Shangy's in Allentown has everything.

It's called smoking.

Yeah, its just broth, corn starch, wine and sugar as was noted. As for ratios, it's a bit of broth, a little bit less of wine, a bit of corn starch, and a little bit of sugar.

You wuss. Mignonette? Haha. Haha, seriously all you need is a few drops of Tabasco.

hey, the burgers here are like crack cocaine! on Wednesdays they also have $1.50 PBR tall boys for the budget minded.
