What utterly despicable manners. In our family we typically order our first drink about two hours before our reservation. Sure, it can be a bit of a wait, sitting outside in the car like that, but then we know we'll be right on time. ←

FRUITLOOPS!!!!

yesterday: "chinese" fuji apple today: "chinese fuji apple my new favorite, these things are soooo crisp and juicy

have cryovac machine for last three years..........awesome! have 500w burmiester (not sure how to spell this, just think giant hand blender) would love to have new kettle and also a tilt skillet and 2 soft serve ice cream machines and a new heat wagon and a big ass bbq for outside........I could go on and on and I usually do but it gets me no where with the powers that be............

I heard that Gothams was very good, but also very pricey.............true?? I have had such a craving for a BIG chunk of beef lately.

My favorite is the favorite in the article as well.........the Genmai Cha. I think its the toasted rice in it.

"crimes against food?" how about a customer that asks for his cut of prime rib "lean" ??!!! actually asks to have all the fat removed, Jesus man! you don't deserve that peice of meat!

when I was expecting ( with twins ) had no real cravings, but my appetite was enormous! You did NOT want to be in the same room as me if I had missed a meal or dinner was really late. The only thing that put me off, not food related though, was the smell of a zippo lighter my husband used to have. All the best to you pregnant ones!

what about low carb beer!!!!!!!! i mean come onnnnnnnn!

I agree with you on the butter thing. I love cold butter on really good bread!

who the hell puts lettuce in guacamole??!!

persiflage???? and most times no, too stereotypical. but I did like chocolate with mr. depp.

other than a higher end brunch, where I can eat croissants, fresh fruit, yogurts and drink lots of champagne and o.j............I hate buffets. Cold food, self service, and I don't have a very big appetite, so I always end up feeling I've over paid for one plate of food.

One of my favorites is a grilled Vegetable salad. Grill green/yellow zuccini, red/ green/ yellow/ orange peppers, onions, egg plant. What ever you like really. I sometimes add steamed asparagus, mushrooms. Then toss with olive oil and balsamic, little s&p. ta da.

"what restaurants don't deserve their locations" How about Anton's on Hastings street in the "Heights" For the life of me I can't understand why people will line up in sub-zero weather, (or in any weather for that matter), to eat extremely mediocre pasta??!! Is it really because they give such insanely large portions that you actually get to take home mediocre pasta? I will never understand the draw of that place and yet it does so well. The thing that bothers me the most though, is that it sucks all potential diners away from trying any of the other new spots that come along. (Except of course for Scott Jaegers "Pear tree" which is in a whole other demention.)

one of my most vivid memories of school. Turning veggies (hahahaha..veggies) and trying desperatly to flute frickin mushrooms!!!! never did get the hang of the mushrooms.

the last thing I need is something else to put in my pockets at work! My chef pants are so nice and broken in soft, but elastic must be going. with keys, notes, cell, squirell card etc.etc....me pants are fallin down!, thank god for the apron.

ok...so call me stupid, but what the hell is a PDA???

sounds like the system I use!

only negative would be cost. I guess as long as its supply and demand, and the demand is lower for organic than for "regular" foods the cost will stay higher. I do love to buy a case of organic apples in the fall though. they taste sooooo much better.

the Bourdain book naturally. Had to pick it up myself just to make sure the spousal unit bought the right one! Can't wait to read.

Duck is roasting as I post. Stuffed with apples, raisins and prunes. Red cabbage simmering stove top and later I will make candied baby potatoes.......the smell is devine. Glaedig jul all.

Hey! thats the same for me. K.D. with extra butter and white pepper......yumm

ditto that
