  1. On the casual side I would love to try the Linkery in North Park that opened last year and obviously specializes in homemade sausages (choucroute anyone?).

    do try it, FrogPrincesse! my good friend Jay owns The Linkery and i can vouch for the quality of the sausages. you can read more about the restaurant and the sausages in particular at their great website :smile:

  2. that's odd...pretty much all of them around here do. i can't remember the brand that i ususally see (i feel like it's "__ flake", but it comes in a box (about the size of a cereal box) rather than the paper sacks that flour ususally comes in.

    you can also compensate by adding cornstarch to all-purpose flour. one cup sifted cake flour = 3/4 cup sifted bleached all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch.

  3. Any word on the place that replaced Daniel's on Broadway???

    it's going to be called Moonfish Grill. not open just yet -- i think it's supposed to open in about 2 weeks. i've heard there's supposed to be a sushi bar and that it will be more casual than Daniel's.

  4. Peaches on Sunset is fantastic and has great original seafood dishes.
    this place is long gone. it's now the Black Duck (which is certainly worth a try).
    Copperfish - on the road leading into town. You'll pass it on your right on the way in. We dined there last year and enjoyed it. I can't remember what we ate, but the food was good and I think it is a BYOB.

    yeah, this place is becoming a favorite. i was there last weekend, in fact, and had a really good "spanish clams" app in addition to their great crab cakes. They offer some wines from a local vineyard (don't bother) and you can also BYO.

    and...i'll join everyone else and plug Louisa's. if they are serving bluefish -- get it! you do have to call early in the week to get a reservation, since it's tiny and very very popular. you're probably out of luck for this weekend.

    enjoy!

  5. Are you talking American BBQ, or is it possible that you've read/heard about the ___ place that's supposed to make phenomenal 'barbeque' chicken??  I want to say it's Latin American, but I'm not sure...

    Sorry--that's not a ton of help, I know, but I'm hoping it might jog someone else's memory!

    the only place that comes to mind is Lisboa BBQ on Bloomfield in Verona.

    but you said 'phenomenal', so... :wink:

  6. Senorita's in Bloomfield!  It's more upscale than Los Tapatios - still casual and fun, to be sure, but more attractively decorated; newer, certainly; with beautiful bathrooms.  The food is tasty and fresh and the margaritas are good.  Plus service is very friendly.  The block it's situated on is kinda decrepit ... but the restaurant feels even more welcoming as a result.

    where's this? is it new? thx.

  7. One of the best bread puddings I have had was the chocolate bread pudding at Blue Sky Cafe, Montclair.  That restaurant has closed.

    i still miss Blue Sky, and especially the bread pudding. :sad:

    but a while ago, Rosie was nice enough to procure the recipe for me :smile:

    thanks again, Rosie!

    PS: i recently had a really good banana bread pudding at The Blue Pig in Cape May.

  8. rosie, i'm glad you wrote in. i too had a really good meal at orbis about 6 weeks ago after having not been there in several years. your post reminded me that i need to go back soon. i loved that they offered so many specials -- was that also the case the night you were there?

  9. - Louisa's (byo)

    - Copper Fish (also byo but offers some Cape May wines) (best crab cakes in CM, imo)

    - Black Duck (byo) (try the "pu pu" app platter)

    - the Lobster House raw bar (not byo)

    - Sea Salt (byo) (located about 15 min north in Stone Harbor). there's a recent thread on Sea Salt around here somewhere...

    nice for lunch: Freda's Cafe, the Blue Pig (at Congress Hall)

    nice for drinks and tapas: Martini Beach

    fun for drinks and music: the Boiler Room (at Congress Hall)

    speaking of tapas, the Ebbitt Room recently began offering a small plates menu (seating is on the Virginia Hotel's front porch).

    have a great time!

  10. hi glenn. it is illegal under federal law and FCC regulations to send an unsolicited advertisement to a fax machine. as someone above noted, the fines associated with violations are steep -- $500 per incident -- and, if a court finds that you've done so willfully or knowingly, the fines can be tripled.
