  1. Dat's a lotta sauce.
  2. It is after all the Emeril network. Bam!
  3. If you kneel down at my table you better have a big diamond and a proposal or are you suggesting a sexual act? Baring those I will pat you on the head, scratch you under the chin and throw the tennis ball I carry.
  4. It has to do with the fact that most Japanese knives are beveled on one side. A right handed knife would have it's bevel on the right hand side and vice versa for the lefties. Also the Kershaw knives also have a handle that's designed in a "D" shape.
  5. never mind the fax, I don't even have a credit card; I've never had an overriding need for one! :) ← Try renting a car.
  6. Move away from that glass of wine, slowly.

    Confit Duck

    Breast is usually served Rare and sliced. Legs are tougher and need that time to get tender. That said, I consider all of duck to be dark meat.
  8. When I worked graveyard all I wanted when I got home were 2 strong Bloody Mary's and bed. It really screws with your whole body rhythm.
  9. Until they stop charging me 50% more for a left handed knife I will never use Japanese.
  10. Beer, not just for breakfast anymore. Old ECV saying.
  11. It may be a service charge for using a debit card. Not unheard of, in fact common at ATM machines.
  12. The board is defective and should be returned. Boards should only be wiped down, never put in water. They should never delaminate and won't unless put in water. End grain wood is like a sponge and once the stresses are put in it cannot be repaired. Oil, Oil and oil again. wipe with a damp sponge and dry.
  13. I like the Prosciutto that this place makes. http://www.newsomscountryham.com/newgouragpro.html
  14. I doubt that Forbes ever even got to Atlanta back in 1988 but I lived here then and I can tell you in one word: Barbecue ... It was very big then before we got the 1996 Olympics .. after that though? Tres chic and verrrry cosmopolitan ... ← I agree that you have Barbecue. Next time I want to get on a flying bus I'll visit.
  15. What did he say about Atlanta Ga in 1988? Huh, Huh?
  16. Swiss Hotel Sonoma. You can sit at the bar and Eat. Reasonable food and a small intimate atmosphere. Not wide screen. Mostly locals.
  17. Certain foods need to be eaten with ones hands. I'll never forget my very proper former MIL attacking ribs and fried chicken at a BBQ. I thought my wife would come unglued and then her mother sweetly looked at her and said how would you eat it dear? As she was licking her fingers.
  18. Oysters, Les Halles Beef Bourguignon, Chocolate Ginger Ice Cream. And lots of bubbley.
  19. I always offer my first born male son as collateral but nobody will take him.
  20. While I barely remember collage food, Class of 1970, I took a trip this summer that brought it all back. Casino Food is were all those people ended up. Quantity is never a substitute for Quality.
  21. I loved the Executive Chef in Blue jeans, with a green t shirt out in the dining room. Also his constant attitude that they won't like it.
  22. Apple has set up their website with places to donate. http://www.apple.com/
  23. Swapping side orders should not be a problem if it's on the Menu in a tavern. At a higher end place the Chef may do the meal as a package of varying tastes and be reluctant to change it.
  24. If you don't wish to eat what the Chef serves, you should go to Denny's ( a chain). However even Denny's would not alter what they served when I asked. ← What sort of alteration did you request? I can only think of a couple of things that would generate that responce. ←
