  1. Sage is supposed to be wonderful. Call for Rez's.
  2. Try Club Lucky, the Matchbox, Gunther Murphy's...anyone know if Bucket of Suds is still around?
  3. how about Mimma's (not sure of spelling, sorry)
  4. If you don't like Jamie, try the I Hate Jamie Oliver. com site. It PUKKA or is that puke-a?
  5. Parents need to realise that the restaurant is a place of business and are putting their children at risk. One child would always sneak behind the bar when we were three deep. I took a step back and plowed into him. When I told his mother he shouldn't be behind the bar (because he could get hurt) she responded that since they were such great friends of the owners, her son could do whatever he wanted. She had the nerve to say she practically owned the place, she'd been coming there so long. The Darwin Award goes to...
  6. My family salts their watermelon; we're in the midwest. My mom would make a 'salad' of a canned, halved pear with a large dollop of Miracle Whip, sprinkled with American cheese. Truly vomitous.
  7. and to think I hired an exterminator when I could have opened a restaurant...
  8. Is this offered all over Italy or only in the South? What are the roots of this item?
  9. A little off subject, but an interesting book (7 Plants That Changed The World). Topics are coffee, tea, sugar, quinine, cotton, potato...hmm. Maybe it was 6 Plants...I can't remember the author...
  10. When will you be a guest voice on the Simpsons? What storyline can we look forward to: Homer and Tony open a restaurant? Lisa repeals former vegetarian lifestyle and kicks Paul McCartney's stumpfucking ass?
  11. We will probably get a Greatist Hits Post Sobriety album from him then that will be employ more eunuchs for backups than ever.
  12. If the restaurant is that busy, it would be good policy to note on the menu that on busier times, it is policy to ask guests to let the next party in for the table. I agree a party shouldn't be pushed out the door right after paying, but a customer needs to realize that camping out all day (remember, you are NEVER the only one to do this) decides how many customers are served. In a tiny restaurant, it's good manners to leave upon paying- this DOES directly affect a server's income- and yes, we all want to relax and chat, but please be aware of others. Would you want to wait over an hour and a half for a table? I won't.
  13. He was always very polite, kind, and damn he smells good like man meets motor oil with post-coital pheromone lingering..
  14. you can make one from an apple, if so inclined; memories of ninth grade.
  15. the proverbial dilemna: you are stuck on that damn island. Here are your choices: doing yoga with Sting, naked, at sunup every morning OR daily attack of fireants coexistence with the big E OR coexistence with hardcore, right wing, Christian Fundamentalist (venom chugging and Appalachian Clog-dancing included) two authors you admire OR two songwriters/musicians you admire continual bombardment of lite rock (Candle In the Wind, Uptown Girl, The Pina Colada Song, Sailing, the Theme from Arthur, Brandy, Fernando) OR continual bombardment of hair farmer bands' power ballads (fuck if I know any) OR continual bombardment of C&W (contemporary, no easy outs with Patsy Cline or Johnny Cash) **SLITTING YOUR THROAT AND RUPTURING YOUR EARDRUMS NOT AN OPTION**
  16. Mario seems pretty down to earth and I like his show- low key and knowledgeable with passion. Nice mix. Back to music: Ever catch Tommy Lee on Cribs? Motherfucker never got a dime from me. It sums up everything I hate about contemporary American culture and screams firestorm. (...someday a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the street...sick, venal....) As a female, it's easy to be summed up as a groupie, but I got to meet a lot of people whose music meant a lot to me just walking up and saying thanks: Jello Biafra, Henry Rollins, Mike Ness, Jason Newsted...very nice guys. Henry even hugged me; I first saw Black Flag at 15; pick up Get In the Van if you haven't already. Now that "punk" is marketable, all the shit sounds the same. Oh well. Any suggestions? I can't buy into that Blink 182 bs. I have an extensive selection as well: Nina Simone, rockabilly, all the standards (Frank, Tony, Ella, the Louis (Prima, Armstrong), Mozart, Wagner...Sweet Honey In the Rock (vocal group)
  17. I think I know, but I'd like some bitter diatribe with extra rant on the side. I agree with you on Elton John, but come on man, what about Daniel? ("do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal") How about some Herb Alpert and Brazil 66 right when the kitchen gets totally monkey fucked at the crunch? If you ever walk in a kitchen and hear -Journey, Styx, Rush, Boston, Eagles, etc...- would you 1.run away or 2.start a grease fire and run away? How about some Stiff Little Fingers, Bad Religion, Angry Samoans, Fugazi, Dead Kennedys, Social Distortion, Bad Brains...I smell some CDs burning. Want to come over after school and get high and listen to my ALBUMS? Who is the ELO of Chefs? the Pablo Cruise? the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?....
  18. your preferences: cats or dogs (as pets, not food) Black Flag or Rollins Band Vietnam or Japan Malcolm Lowry or Hemingway fleur du sal or kosher gimlets or gibsons Ramones or Clash Infinite Jest or Napalm and Silly Putty burger or hot dog spanking or hair pulling Stoli Crystal or Roederer Crystal rich and miserable or poor and happy toro or kobe beef Blondie or X giving or receiving oral You have to choose one of each on "for the rest of your life" basis.
  19. Now that you're out of the restaurant on most nights, have traveled the world, and have Hollywood nipping at your heels...what else is cooking? The LH cookbook and...more travel, second honeymoon, private security and hanging with P.Diddy? (If I see you chugging Crystal from the bottle, I'll smack the taste out of your mouth!) You've no doubt had offers of doing your own place- can we get a sample of your dream menu? Thank you for many, many laughs and your honesty. My chef and I quote from the book of Tony.
