I have to ask this: is this version of Tampopo uncut? The version they are selling here in the States is missing several minutes, some of which are necessary to getting all of the jokes! The most important scene missing from my DVD is the one when all of the businessmen walk OUT of the French restaurant! If the Japanese version is complete - does it have English subtitles? I am truly enjoying this blog - best wishes to your family for good health!

White Lotus - also, given that you'll be in Cleveland Hts - there are two good "greasy spoon"-like places on Mayfield Road in Lyndhurst - Eat at Joes and Jason's Diner (the latter is for sale, so I don't know how long they'll be around) - the former is breakfast and lunch only, the latter is breakfast, lunch and dinner. I haven't been in a long time, but I had a great meal at the Hunan on Coventry; prices are fair and quality is very high. Another great bet for Chinese is Sun Luck Garden on South Taylor - the proprietor, Annie, is a wonderful lady who is doing great East Meets West type cuisine that is exquisitely good, at very moderate prices in a very casual environment. And speaking of Gelato - Dominic Cerino has been experimenting with making Gelato with Kathy Breychak's Blue Eggs - I am told it is heavenly, but he hasn't been able to make enough of it yet to have any for sale after the staff finishes with, um, quality control. Yes - you must get to Carrie Cerino's for Copper River Salmon and Blue Egg Ravioli or Carbonara!

I'm not an expert - but you must go to Lolita for the Happy Hour foods - their American Kobe Burger that is the best burger I ever had in my life, and the other Happy Hour choices are all worth trying. Happy Hour is in the afternoon (I think 4:30-6:30pm), then again late (I want to say after 10pm - call them to be sure). Unfortunately, for "odd hour" eating in Cleveland, you may find yourself limited to Temont and Chinatown. The good news is that all of the late night places in Chinatown are pretty good to excellent - Bo Loong, Li Wah, C&Y Restaurant, New Wong's Noodle Shop. I know that Lolita is open pretty late, but I'm not sure who else is open late in Tremont.

Is this new? What is it close to on Mayfield? Anything in particular you recommend? Is it an actual restaurant or more like a take out? ← Appetite is in the former Broadway Bagels on Mayfield Road near Richmond. Ironically, they make all of their own bread - except the bagels! All of their salads (and they have a case full of different kinds) are made fresh from scratch as are their soups. You can eat in or take out, just as before when it was the bagel store. They have breakfast, lunch, early dinner (they close by 7pm), snacks and catering. One other important improvement - the Davis's scubbed it down and cleaned it up (the bagel store had, um, sort of gotten away from good housekeeping for a while).

Urban Herbs in Cleveland, Ohio.

For casual/on-the-go eating - Mr. Brisket is both a full service butcher, and a lunchtime deli counter making some of the best pastrami I've ever eaten and fresh, off the bone turkey sandwiches that take me back to my childhood (before Subway and Quizno). South Taylor Road just south of the intersection with Cedar Road. Website The best corned beef sandwich in town is Slyman's, which is on St. Clair Ave in the 30s. The falafel stand at the West Side Market is awesome - get a sandwich, then go up to the balcony to eat and watch the action below! The best local source to purchase cheese is The Baricelli Inn in Little Italy. My current favorite bread/dessert bakery is Appetite on Mayfield Road in Lyndhurst. The baker, Bennett Davis, used to be the pastry chef at Moxie. Koko Bakery 3710 Payne Ave, has a wall of Shanghai bakery cases, plus rice plates and bubble teas, and other yummy baked goods. There is a huge ethnic scene here. I recommend that you pick up the latest edition of Laura Taxel's "Cleveland Ethnic Eats" as a get-started primer. Also - Lolita, Light Bistro and Flying Fig all have awesome happy hours, with discounted food and drink that should help extend your budget.

Our own Improvchef44, aka Personal Chef Brian Doyle, has been the moving spirit behind a dining club inspired by Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" episode shot in Portland. As the "Gypsy Chef", he organized the first dinner April 16, 2007, which was held at the Falls Grill in Chagrin Falls and hosted by Chef/owner Tim Ogan. Our special guest was Chef Miguel Morales from Top Chef, who was in town to judge at the Second Annual Chili Cook Off to Benefit the Cleveland Austism Society, which was last night. Miguel and Brian collaborated to bring us hors d'oeuvres to start the evening: First - Brian's refreshing Spring Pea Shooter: Also plattered were Brian's Duck Bites: Miguel created the following morsel of creamy artichoke, breaded and fried and topped with bacon: Two of Miguel's items were passed on Chinese Spoons. A bit of melt-in-your-mouth shortrib: And, forgive me, I don't remember exactly what this one was, but it was delicious: We proceeded to the dining room. Off to the left, the restaurant's "private dining room" had been converted into a staging area for the crew of Chefs and their assistants; it was merry mayhem as they worked together to bring us the following dishes: Course one by Tim Ogan of Falls Grill: Inari, Salmon-Caymus Conundrum, served with his signature House Noodles: A wonderful starter - the creamy quail egg yolk atop the Inari tamed the strong flavor of the Salmon Roe to make a perfect harmony that struck chord with the tasty rice below. Especially playful was the little item that looked like an octupus tentacle (upper left part of the plate at about 10 o'clock), but was actually a slightly sweet cracker that played well off of the slightly spicy noodles (which Chef Tim calls his "Fear Factor Cracker"). Rick Carson of Vue (in Hudson) brought us our next course - Ramps, lemon/tomato confit, miatake mushrooms: This Napolean was topped with a tasty bit of citrus and a creamy explosion of fruit flavor. Though I passed the pieces of mushroom to Bob (I just can't take the texture of mushrooms) - the creamy mushroom-infused bottom layer was plate-licking good! Twinsburg's Blue Canyon presented the next course - Brandt Evans was in the house, but the dish belonged to the two young chefs who accompanied him, who will be heading Blue Canyon kitchens in other states as the brand expands. Their presentation of "Tuna Two Ways" was exquisite: On the right, a shooter of Cucumber Water with, I think, Vodka and other flavors (sadly, cucumbers, along with mushrooms, are the only two foods I have trouble putting into my mouth - I took a drink of it, then passed it to Bob). A gastric cleverly glued the glass to the plate until it was time to drink it. On the left, a Spring Roll stuffed with cubes of fabulously fresh raw tuna and a plum sauce: In the center - a wrapper of cucumber, dusted with a variety of sesame seeds, and rolled around more wonderful tuna. I really tried to take a bite of the cuke, but with the flavor of the beverage still on my palate, I wound up devouring the tuna, but passing the cucumber onto someone who could appreciate it (lucky husband). Next up - Jeff Fisher of Lago (located in Tremont, in the old Theory space across from Lolita). Despite having a newborn in the house (as in two weeks old), he managed to stay awake enough to create a pillowy smoked potato gnocchi, which was surrounded by 'shrooms and artichoke, with a couple of fresh ramps to round it out. Brad Gambrell of Barrington Golf Club served next. His moist pheasant, plated over sundried cherry confit and accompanied by plump orange gnocchi stuffed with cheese was so good - well, I told him that I might need to take up golf, so I would have an excuse to eat more of his food! The Intermezzo was artfully preparedby Jakub Mejstrik, a personal chef who also took Best Vegetarian Honors at the Chili Cook Off last night (Chef 77). Describing this delightful bite as "chilled fruits" does not do it justice. The watermelon cube was stuffed with a minute dice of other fruits, and served with a light sauce drizzled on the plate. We were told to take the morsel with our fingers, dredge it in the sauce, and pop in in the mouth - yummy! The final savory course was from Brian - Hawthorn Braised Pork Belly redolent with creamy fat, served over a Rhubarb Marmalade that cut the fat just enough. We did not think we could eat another bite. Then came dessert, from Nick Kustala of Lure Bistro. Somehow, we all made room for his Twisted Pots de Creme - the final step in a food-induced stupor. The Debonne Cab Franc Ice Wine was perfect with it. We hope that there will be more events, but only the Gypsy Chef knows for sure.

Looks like a beautiful dinner! We'll need to join you for some of those future wine dinners! How did the skate compare to the skate you had at Parallax last summer?

I have a guest who is not a strict vegetarian, but eats very little meat. I suggest: Gefilte Fish (if they eat fish) Mock Chopped Liver (recipes abound on the internet for this) Salad Hot vegetable Vegetarian kugel - potato, farfel, or version of your choice Extra Hard Boiled Eggs Vegetarian soup w/matzoh balls (Tabatchnick has an ascetptic packaged product for soup this year)

When Executive Chef Eric Williams put out the word that Momocho was having a wine dinner celebrating the chile - I knew we had to go! We turned down an invitiation to join friends at another fine Cleveland restaurant having a wine tasting dinner last night (what a wonderful problem to have here in Cleveland - too many restaurants offering wonderful things), because we love chiles and so we had to have this! Still - you don't often think of wine pairings with chile-inspired dishes (usually tequila or beer would come to mind). Eric says that this extraordinary menu that you are about to see actually was the work of Chef Nolan Konkoski - and it worked fabulously with wine! We were seated at our table, which was already topped with a trio of refreshing palate cleansers - jicama, pineapple and cucumber: The server invited us to begin our evening with gaucamole - even though we knew more chiles were coming, we could not resist a dab of the habenero-pineapple guac with fried-to-order chips: course 1ne: blistered chili poblano + cauliflower soup, topped with chile ancho crusted cebolitas, served with 2004 Kuyen cab/syrah from Chile: Creamy, smooth with a crunch from the cebolitas - mucho delicious! And the wine was big and fruity - so tasty that we bought two bottles of it! course 2wo: jalapeno chile relleno crusted with cornemeal, stuffed w/smoked bacon and goat cheese filling, topped with chile chipotle mojo and plated over the house black beans: Unfortunately for me, two elements converged on me during this course - first, I seem to have received the hottest pepper in the house (it tasted amazingly good, but it turned out to be a little too hot for me to handle; hubby Bob agreed my chile was hotter than his): The heat infused the filling - so there was no respite. And although the taste of the 2004 Crios Cabernet from Argentina paired perfectly with the bacon-cheese-bean and chile flavors - there was just too much heat for me, especially in light of the second element working against me - a new blood pressure med I had just started that day - which I think did not react well with the spicy food. I did not let this stop me from utterly enjoying this dish! course 3hree: beef tenderloin "cebiche", avocado-chile chilaca relish/cilantro-lime recado, served with 2004 Vega Sindoa Cabernet-Tempranillo from Spain: This was a cool, soothing dish after the fire of the relleno, and the wine had hints of lovely sweetness. course 4our was the piece de resistance of Chef Nolan's artistry: Chile pequin dusted sea scallop with creamed sweet corn and fire roasted tepin vinegreta, served with 2005 Nora Albarino from Spain: The fresh scallop shell (an item seldom seen in Cleveland), when lifted, revealed the following treasures: Prefectly fresh and perfectly prepared scallops, resplendent on their bed of creamed corn. course 5ive: To finish this lip-smacking repast - another wonderfully original creation - cantaloupe-candied chile habanaro sorbetto with a honey-lime bizcochito (cookie), topped with fresh mint and drizzled with powdered sugar: This was served with a wonderful sweet wine from France - 2000 Chateau Vari, and was cool and hot and refreshing, all at the same time. We found the mint leaves to be winter-tough - but a bit of muddling in the glass increased the complexity of the flavors and resulted in an exquisite end to an extraordinary meal. Momocho, which calls its cuisine "mod mex", has a multicourse dinner once every other month on the last Wednesday. See their website here

How could I not include Light in my recommendations? What was I thinking? I must have been in a foie gras coma (no wait - I didn't have those luscious slabs of goodness until two days after I wrote that post). Needless to say, I second (third?) those who have mentioned it.

Well, I'm always a day late and a dollar short on posting photos when we eat out on Friday! I second everything that Edsel said (and my pictures don't add much to what Edsel posted, so I won't waste bandwidth on them)! I also had the tasting menu - and it was as wonderful as it looked. I also sampled the Garlic Soup and the Cassolet that my husband ordered, and they were as fabulous as my dinner. The braised oxtail was clearly the "winner" - as the most lip-smackingly good dish on the table. But there were a lot of close seconds! The butter is sourced from Lake Erie Creamery, and is wonderful, as were the freshly baked breads. The 2007 HG (Heartland Gathering) Committee has just decided to set up a dinner at Light for the Thursday preceding the weekend (July 19) - so please keep an eye here if you are interesting in joining us (or PM me)!

Well, with both Edsel and Stuart photographing, I stopped after a few shots. I did get a nice shot of the tureen of Tom Yum soup, which I think was a little spicier last night than on the previous visit: This was another appetizer - possibly the best scallion pancake I've ever had, with a perfectly prepared strip of roast pork in the center: This dinner was amazing - just when we thought we could eat no more - another platter came out! Edsel - post more pictures!

We were with the Slow Food group that ate at Siam Cafe last night. Bob and I got to Chinatown way early, and so we stopped for bubble tea at Koko Bakery. I had heard of this place, but never made it there before. It is about a year old, and the proprietor is from Taiwan and serving up marvelous Shanghai-style baked goods, together with a modest lunch menu and a large variety of Asian drinks, including teas, coffees, fruit smoothies, and two varieties of shaved ice (Taiwanese and Korean). Unfortunately, I left my camera in the car - but Bob enjoyed his Mango bubble tea, and my Taro Pudding Bubble Tea was out of this world! We took some buns and a sticky rice roll to go, but we haven't tried them yet. 3710 Payne Ave, open 7 days 9-7.

If they are re-opened: breakfast at Commerce Restaurant can't be beat!

I'm a transplanted New Yorker - and I've got to say, we have so many fantastic restaurants here in Cleveland that I haven't yet tried them all! Moxie is awesome - I'm having lunch there today and again next week! It is my "go to" business lunch spot. Dinner is a bit pricey, so I don't get there as often for dinner, but the food never disappoints. For Neuvo Mexican - Momocho in Ohio City. Best gauc selection on the planet and other fresh and fabulous food. For pizza, the only place that does it for me is Vincenza's, downtown (open only for lunch, alas). I have been told that Capri Pizza in Middleburgh Heights, and Marrotta's in Cleveland Heights are very good, but I haven't tried them yet myself. Don't waste your Cleveland time on pizza - there are much better things to eat here - like Lola's Beef Cheek Pierogi and Smoked Lobster Salad! Just had a fabulous dinner last night at Lago - across the street from Lolita - calamari 2 ways, bibb lettuce salad with a whole poached pear, housemade pappardelle with two huge meatballs - one veal, one chicken and cheese, and a taste of hubby's veal tortellini, which were to die for! On the subject of Italian - you MUST get to Carrie Cerinos in North Royalton. Housemade pastas, sauces and dressings, housemade (and imported from Armandino Batali) salumi platter, Blue Egg Ravioli (ask in advance for them if it isn't the first Friday of the month), Blue Egg Carbonara, Umbrian Lentils with Sausage, Linguine with Fresh Clams - and in a few weeks - Copper River King Salmon fed-exed from the Alaskan boat and Panzanella Salad. I can't believe it took me almost ten years of living in Cleveland to find this gem - go now! Whew - what else? For a pastrami sandwich that will take you home - Mister Brisket on South Taylor Road. Best corned beef sandwich - Slyman's. I think the "Thai" place you are thinking of is Siam Cafe, another excellent choice - go for dinner for a better selection. We also have a great Pho spot on Superior, aptly named "Superior Pho". Also - the best Cambodian food I've had outside San Franscisco was at the original Phnom Penn on Lorain (I haven't tried the new branch on West 25th). I agree with Kris on Pacific East, though the sushi (and other food, which is not Japanese) at Parallax can't be beat. Hope this is enough to keep you busy - how long will you be visiting us?

I'm working on a "surreal" menu, and I'd love a great savory oatmeal dish -any new ideas??

I think this is deserving of its own thread, even though there is already a Lola/Lolita thread, because last night's dinner was as much about Jamison Lamb as it was about Lolita. John and Sukey Jamison trundled across from Latrobe PA to Cleveland last night to host this fabulous meal featuring their lamb. I have never had lamb this good and was concerned that I'd have to go to Lola or Lolita to get it - until I learned that it (and the entire Jamison story) is available to the world through the magic of the internet and overnight shipping! Jamison Farm And I'd like to thank Linda Griffith for typing up the menu items for the Cleveland Food & Wine Forum - so I didn't have to! Course 1:Baby Arugula Salad with crispy lamb rillette,tiny cubes of feta and cherry vinaigrette, accompanied by a splendid Greek Rose, Kir-Yianni, Akakies, Naoussa, 05. I sighed with delight as I ate this - lamb cooked in lamb fat, oh my! Course 2: Two divine Pan-Seared Scallops with small bits of house-made Lamb Sausage, and Baby Butter Beans, plated in Lamb Saffron Broth. Course 3: White Bean Agnolotti that were made by hand by Lolita Chef Matt Harlan. Light as a feather, with just the right balance between the cheese and the bean. Superlatively-flavored and tender pieces of braised lamb, tender chard and some of the braising broth. Wine: Anne Amie,Couvee A, Pinot Noir, Oregon, 05. Mr. DeMille - I'm ready for my close up: Course 4: A Grilled long-Frenched bone lamb chop topped with a salad of Meyer Lemon, Mint, Pistachio and a coulis of roasted/smoked Eggplant. After reading about Micheal Rulhman's recent chicken-bone eating experience, I was tempted to eat this bone, it was so delicious! Wine: Langmeil, Valley Floor Shiraz, Barossa, O5. Course 5: Slow Roasted Leg of Lamb on Butternut Squash Polenta, topped with Pickled Fennel and Mache. I tihnk Linda described this spot-on: "Medium rare, thin slices of lucious lamb...delicate and sweet...tender as a baby's ahem...the polenta was exceptionally delicious (a mental reminder to try this myself) and the fennel was a delightful counterpoint." Wine: C.G. Arie,Zinfandel,Shenandoah Vallley 04. For this photo, I moved the salad to the side so the photo might better illustrate the lamb (a dangerous move, since Michael Symon had already admonished one diner for taking their greens off the meat during an earlier course ) Dessert...Parsnip-Carrot Cake applause for Chef Cory! Again, Linda nailed it with her description: "A thin cap of gelled raisin over the cake was totally delicious, as was the long drizzle of pineapple caramel. And I want more of the sheeps milk yogurt that appeared at first to be a cloud of whipped cream on the side.: Wine was Chateau Cadillac Bordeaux, 02 which, as Linda noted, was a marvelous shade of gold. What a wonderful meal - Chefs Symon and Harlan truly displayed why this lamb is so special and worthy of expense and trouble to acquire!

My husband and I plan to make a special trip to Destin this summer just to experience the culinary prowess of Sandor Zombori, who actually started cooking at Cafe Provence while we were there in February, but we didn't know it!

Saturday's dinner was, I hope, a harbinger of wonderful culinary things to come! We began the evening with passed hors d'oeuvres: This was Seared Duck Breast over Foie Gras Fried Rice: The following two items were actually served separately, but I thought they went well together: The first was a mini-crab cake, the second, the marinated shrimp Edsel mentioned. Normally, I just take a nibble of shrimp, note that I don't like it for whatever reason, and move on. Here - well, I not only ate a whole shrimp - I ate 3 whole shrimp and loved them! The marinade did beautiful things to both taste and texture. This next item melted in the mouth: This tiny presentation packed a mouthful of flavor; the Gravlox was perfect: I confess - I don't remember exactly what composed the last one - but it was smooth and delicious - Chefs Matt and Jeff - help me out here! I know the base was sweet potato, and there was nut and coconut: On to the sit-down dinner! My shot of the amuse gets a slightly different angle than Edsel's: Ditto the peas - Chef Matt said they were literally "just out of the ground" and they tasted it! The tuna, and its accoutrements, were so fabulous - I ate the last slice of tuna over a layer of the flavorings and the rice, like Nigiri - it was fantastic! I can't add much to Edsel's description of the Duck, though I'll add my photo: I've never had pheasant before - this dish was devine, and all three of the diners at our table devised different ways to get every drop of the brie fondue out of the cup - waste not, want not! My photo of the "spuds & beer" is not as good as Edsel's, so I'll let his speak alone for the dish. After the Waygu Beef, which melted in the mouth, came the Pork Two Ways. First - the whole plate: Then - a close up of that gorgeous hunk of pork belly: And finally - dessert - wonderfully flavored and textured house-made ice cream over a tartlett: Also - each two courses were paired with wine, and the choices complimented the foods perfectly. While I didn't get the names of the wines (the Wine Menu should be on the Light website shortly) - we started with a Chilean Rose, then a Pino Noir, then Robert Hall Cab Sauv, and finally a delightful sparkler, which comes in a small red can, from Francis Ford Coppola Vineyard. We're looking forward to returning to Light for a "regular" meal next week - stay tuned!

Darn - I'm sorry I had to miss this - looks like you all had a wonderful meal!

The Heartland Gathering is a (roughly) annual gathering of Heartland eGulleteers. At last year's gathering in Ann Arbor, the Cleveland crew expressed some interest in hosting the next event, and we're all waiting breathlessly for an announcement of the details. ← Laurie B and I are plotting on this - a new thread will be started with information on the 2007 Heartland Gathering very shortly!

Teppy - I'm drooling on my keyboard!

Gravel Road was on our list of choices, but we couldn't fit it in. We were still tossing up between GR and Borago when we ate at Blue Orleans, but our chat with the couple there tilted the choice to Borago.

Monday was Presidents' Day and we started a little late. We decided to go to Blue Orleans, which serves breakfast and lunch food all day. Gator and his crew treated us like family and served up a wonderful meal. Bob had the "Blue Plate Special" - Beans and Rice with two sides (he chose Collard Greens and Tomato): Though I wanted breakfast, I could not resist the description of the Seared Scallop Salad with fresh Pecans, Cheeses and raspberry dressing: It tasted even better than it sounded - the scallops are skewered on a sprig of Rosemary, so the flavor infused the mollusks. Also - the slices of mandarin orange were absolutely fresh and sweet - I've never had fresh mandarin (and despise what comes in the cans) - it was simply fabulous. We'll be back for dinner and music at Blue Orleans next year! For our last evening in paradise, we decided to hit the happy hour at the Marina Cafe (Early Dinner Special 5:00 pm – 6:00 p.m. Buy one entree get the second entrée of equal or lesser value free. Happy Hour – Nightly 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm ½ price sushi, 1/2 price gourmet pizza, 1/2 price drinks). We had enjoyed a high quality (and expensive) meal there two years ago, so we thought this would be fun. The restaurant was having some issues between the hostess/manager and the bartender, who snapped at us that we'd have to wait 30 minutes for sushi when we ordered, then proceeded to literally throw two glasses of wine on the bar in front of me. We had our drinks and waited for the sushi, which, it turned out was not worth waiting for; it looked pretty but tasted stale and pale: Fortunately, we had already planned our last dinner at Trattoria Borago after hearing great things from a couple we chatted with at Blue Orleans. Borago. We started with some of the best calamari I've ever had: I wanted to stick with fish or seafood, but they didn't have a lot of choices. I toyed with getting appetizers instead of an entree, when the server said I really needed to try their signature dish, the Grouper Nicoise. Hmmm - Grouper with artichokes, olives, haricot verts, baked tomato and lemon white wine butter over whipped potatoes. But I was really "potatoed out" by that time, and their pasta looked so good (through the open kitchen, I saw them handling fresh pasta that reminded me of that served at Cleveland's own beloved Carrie Cerinos). So I asked if I could have pasta and they said "sure"! And oh my was it great: Bob opted for Penne w/hot Italian Sausage (house made), carmelized onion, portobello mushrooms, and herbed goat cheese. It was also a winner: Bravisimo! We'll be back to Borago! So - Tuesday was our last day and we had to check out of the condo by 10am. We made it, and elected to have one last Silver Sand Breakfast. I repeated my earlier selection of Cheese Grits and Biscuits with Gravy, but Bob decided to try Egg, Sausage and Hash Browns: I usually don't care for breakfast sausage, but this was very good (especially when dipped in gravy). So sad to leave it - but the plan was to lounge by the beach until about 1:30pm, then have our last meal - Harbor Docks lunch. It never disappoints - Grilled Amberjack, fresh slaw, average hushpuppies, and cheese grits (can't get enough of those when I'm in the South). Bob ended our fish odyssey with a hamburger plate - but at least he waited until the end of our trip to order one! So there it is - Destin 2007 is over. But is it? I just learned that Sandor has returned to the Emerald Coast, and is cooking at Cafe Provence (which was actually on my "go to" list, but we just couldn't fit it in). Hmmm - we may take a detour to Florida after our trip to Alabama this summer. Also of note - Nim's, the adorable multi-Asian cuisine restuarant in Destin Commons, has closed; I understand the owners plan to reopen in the Publix strip mall on 395. Shame - we never got to try them. If you would like to see even a few more pictures (and a more organized slide show than EG let me do) please check out my albums on Shutterfly.
