Hi Steve, I'm hoping to try Mr. Friendly's (and others mentioned here) on my trip next weekend. I'll be sure to pass on the best wishes from you and the eGullet folks. I'm looking forward to it. Larry

These all look great! Thank you both very much for the recommendations. (...and they all seem to have California wines ) I'll send the list to see if my daughter has a preference, since it's her celebration; but I'm sure I'll enjoy any of these. I'll report back after the trip. Larry

Hi Melissa, Thank you for these suggestions. Both menus look great (...getting hungry just looking through the selections). Thanks also for the congrats. You know I'll be in a great mood while I'm there. Larry

I'll be traveling to Columbia, SC in about a week and a half (daughter's college graduation). Are there any "must visit" restaurants in Columbia? Some of my meals will be just a couple of people and one dinner with a group of 9. I appreciate any pointers. Larry

In my search for other levening agents (triggered by a donut post), I ran across this Food Product article that talks about how to get the holes in english muffins. (go just past half way to "The Baker's Rack" section. Looks like it's worth a try.

Kincaid's is where we ate a couple of months ago and had a couple of really great tasting items for lunch. Get there early and take a table outside for a great balcony view of the ocean below. I chose two dishes and still remember the wonderful taste and presentation. Hot Dungeness Crab Sandwich Dungeness crab, artichokes, Parmesan, sweet onions and tomato covered with Parmesan and cheddar, then oven broiled. Spiced Prawn and Mango Salad (NOTE: for lunch, I got this minus the prawn since I had Crab already and they were happy to accommodate) Romaine greens, ginger grilled prawns, spiced jumbo cous cous, Fuji apples, mango, bell peppers, cilantro. Topped with toasted walnuts.
