They sell beer and soda in mine.

Welcome, Diane.

Simple can be the best and usually is IMHO. Welcome.

You can order Landjaeger from Usinger's. It's listed under the Summer Sausage heading.

Aaah... 13.52 ounces of Strong Polish Lager at 9.1% ABV. The new labels have black, not blue, backgrounds.

Ommegang is a red, Belgian-style ale. Good stuff from Cooperstown, NY.

I think that Dogfish Head is also making rum now.

People have to add something or they don't feel like they're cooking. That pig caught in that house-fire might have been perfection, even without a cook.

Maker's Mark. It also makes an excellent Manhattan.

I am particularly fond of an Ecuadorian soup called Fanesca. It's a heavy "meal of itself" kind of dish that includes dried salt-cod. Traditionally, it's served around Easter.

They're probably in Florida, eating stone crab.

Thanks for sharing. It has been awhile, but when I'm in that neck of the woods, some fried clams are a must, at The Clam Box in Ipswich.

For a snack or a meal? When we're there, the big meal of the day is about 1:30 in the afternoon.

Stories like this are legendary, but, no shit, this is true. My parents, my brother and I had gone to Triangle Hofbrau restaurant in Richmond Hill, Queens, NY, almost 50 years ago. Someone hadn't finished their meal, and my mother stated that she was going to ask for a "doggy bag" for Penny, our cocker spaniel. I quietly suggested to my little brother that when our mother asked for a "doggy bag," he should say, "Oh goody, we're going to get a dog" and not say another word, no matter what. Needless to say, mom smiled profusely and assured the waiter that we had a dog. My brother grinned and kept his mouth shut, ignoring my mother's pleas for affirmation of dog-ownership. The waiter nodded knowingly. Pop and I enjoyed the show.

Monte's can be seen in the opening sequences of the movie, Men of Respect (1991), where John Turturro shoots the diners.

I enjoy Brussels Sprouts in Wine from foodtv.

Welcome to eGullet.

Welcome.

I'm pretty sure I heard Sara Moulton say it on foodtv.

Now there's a word that I like. Oftern used when cooking and drinking martinis simultaneously. Oftern? You don't shay.

Maybe the natural monosodium glutamate helps?

Now there's a word that I like.

Welcome. I am presently working my way through a case of Victory Storm King Imperial Stout. Good stuff.

Ditto.
