  1. In Burien, there has been some recent rumblings about a good BBQ place. A Stranger Chow article had an interesting way of saying they liked it. I also read a thread about it on Chowhound the other day during my monthly check in. :wink:

    My only argument with the article is the part about the rib sliding out from the meat cleanly. This is usually a sign of overcooking and not a very good sign at all.

    In any case, it sounds worth a check out.

    Col?

  2. I had some crysanthemum (spelling) tea last night at a japanese tea shop that was quite nice. There was some other unidentefiable stuff in there as well. One thing looked like a small grape. hmmm.

  3. How does one (being, shall we say, not employed as a chef) go about finding somewhere to buy these high-end chocolates?  I'm not opposed to mailorder but if I could find something local (Columbus, OH) I'd be happy.  I know where I can get Callebaut and Scharffen Berger, but have never laid eyes on Valrhona, etc.  (Would you believe they had a story in the local paper a few weeks back with a chocolate tasting, but no sources?  Grrr.)

    I'm not exactly God's gift to baking (don't have the patience) but I do like to play around every now and again.

    I would suggest contacting the people who held the chocolate tasting, they might have some tips. Also, you can check boutique type stores as they tend to have specialty products like high end chocolate. Another way might be to find some of the better pastry chefs in town and ask them.
