How do I ask them to cook for me off menu? I have a good friend in town and we are going this weekend. ← You would probably have to know chef Lee, but I don't think you'd be disappointed with the Spago regular tasting menu. The off-menu bit is an L.A. thing - you know, only the "regular joe's" order off the menu.

One of Puck's many fine contributions to the American culinary scene is that he showed the beauty of taking pretention out of the mix when it somes to getting a great dining experience.

Rachel Ray is not really a person I'd look to for any sort of guidance. I've never heard of anyone actually eating at the Crocodile and I can't imagine anyone just going there for the food. I never once went to Ivar's in the 3 years I lived in Seattle, and never had a desire to. Dick's is really a bad joke, especially since one of the better burger places in the country, Red Mill Burgers, is in Seattle. At least she got the Dahlia Lounge right.

I was under the impression that fresh water fish were not suitable for sushi due to possible parasites that are not able to survive in salt water. Am I wrong?

I would have to say that saba is definitely the most under-rated sushi of them all. Not glamorous, but great! I always order it.
