Ditto. Actually, while on the opposite end of the hunting spectrum as Ted, I do respect the fact that he hunts with a bow and arrow, has respect for the animal and for what it gives him as food, etc. I just wish he didn't LOVE hunting so much (!) Having said that, I am on the FAR, FAR opposite end of the political spectrum as Ted, but I'm kind of the Tony persuasion - you don't have to agree with Ted 100%, but he IS likeable and smart, in a totally gonzo kind of way.
I'm curious why you would respect hunting with a bow and arrow more than a rifle or shotgun. My guess would be that you are causing far more pain to the animal with an arrow. You'd also be more likely to just wound and not kill. I would tend think a rifle would give a better chance at a cleaner, faster kill.
I have absolutely no problem with hunting if you are going to eat the meat.

I think what really galls me so much about Rachael is that she makes it seem as if recipes that take over an hour to accomplish are an arduous task best reserved for people who don't live in the real world.
When exactly did she convey this? The whole idea behind her show is weekday cooking. I'll also spend hours in the kitchen on weekends, but during the week with kids to feed? Not gonna happen.

Tommyeats and Off The Broiler both give good marks to Petite Soochow in Cliffside Park, doesn't look like a dim sum/Sunday brunch place but it looks really, really good.

4thing Chengdu 1, I wish my fiancee was more spicy-tolerant so we could dive in headfirst. If it was still there, I'd also recommend Taipei Noodle, but Chengdu 23 is there now.
Shanghai Cafe in West Caldwell isn't really worth making a trip, Hunan Cottage in Fairfield is worth the trip if it's not TOO far.
Thanks for those. Chengdu 1 (sichuan) is good, but quite different from C46.

I miss it. Any suggestions?

I called Murray's Cheese in NYC and they said they could no longer import reblochon.
They recommended Abbaye de Citeaux as a replacement. -
Anyone know where I can (or if it is even possible) purchase Gordon Ramsay DVDs--specifically Boiling Point and/or Kitchen Nightmares (UK Version, obviously).
I'm just interested--I've caught the shows sporadically on BBC America, and a search on the net didn't turn up much.
Thanks for the help.
a google of "digital distractions" may help you...
I don't remember DD having those shows, but I'm not sure now. You can also google "kitchen nightmares torrent".

Where is this place?
The link has all the details, but the address is 26 Belleville Ave.

I pass by this place every day, but just noticed a sign that they now deliver ($15 minimum). I checked it out after reading all of the glowing reviews on Baristanet. The chicken in red curry was very good. My wife liked the pad thai, but I'm not a huge fan of that dish to begin with. The awning has since changed, and they did away with that Italian food option gimmick (although they still list some Italian dishes on the menu). The owner indeed seems very nice and I would recommend ordering or stopping by if you live in the area.

Is there a reason they're not making the ribs the same way they make them at Silver Oak Bistro? The ribs at S.O.B. were probably the best I've ever had, but the ones done at Bourbon were a different style...barely any char. They were still very tasty, but I don't see why they wouldn't use the same method for Bourbon. Just curious....

I was pleasantly surprised by this new market which opened this week-
The owners r Korean-
the store has many items including flowers, sushi, fish, meat, fruit, vegetables, salads, etc
Where is it exactly? Thanks.

I've been there about three times, all for the Sunday brunch/buffet. Whenever we order something off the brunch menu, it's usually pretty quick and the service has been attentive. I haven't ordered off the regular menus yet, maybe there's a different group of staff on weekends?
If you've only been there for the brunch and have not ordered off the menu (and mainly the printed specials menu), then you're really missing out on what this place has to offer.
-
i probably was overreacting, but i still think everyone deserves the same service.
No, you're not overreacting. I agree; everyone deserves the same service.
There was a (mildly-heated) thread about this topic a few months ago; suffice to say it seems I'm in the minority point of view (at least compared to the other egullet members who posted.) Nevertheless, I try not to patronize restaurants that do this.
But they're not serving fried noodles to non-Asians to stiff them or give them inferior food...it's because they think that they prefer them over seaweed. If you go there enough and request the seaweed every time, they will remember.

My mom just mentioned that there is a new place in Montclair, and a drive-by confirmed that they're open. The location is the old Le Carousel/Top Notch, on the far end of the block that is also home to Belgiovone's (sp?), Marrakech, and Lalezar--across form Whole Foods on Bloomfield Ave.
The logo is a coffee cup, so I don't know if it's a full-service restaurant, coffee shop, or what. Haven't had time to stop in, obviously. Anyone know anything about it?

I'm happy to report that China 46 finally has a printed page of the specials that they are handing out with the regular menu. And the food is as good as ever.

So now we have 11:00 - 12:00, 4:00 - 1:00, and my experience, which was to find them closed at lunch with the etchings on the door reading 5:00 - 12:00. All very confusing. I don't want to write them off yet, since they're new and the menu sounds good, but agreed...not the best way to start a new business.

Does he do whole fish? If so, are they cleaned/gutted/etc.?
Yes, he had whole fish. Not sure if they were gutted...I would imagine he would do so for you if not.

I noticed this place on a drive-by last night, located in a space that used to be a sports bar on Stuyvesant Ave. in the block SW of Lake, just up from the Lyndhurst NJ Transit station.
I thought it was brand-new but this article tells me that it's been 6 months since I've been over in that part of Lyndhurst.
I can't get Google to find any previous mention of this place on eG. Since it's likely to be several weeks before I can get over there at a time when they might be open, I'm wondering if anyone else can report on this place.
It's a very good fish market for the area. Somewhat limited selection, but everything he had looked very fresh. He also has some less common fish types, like branzino. Give it a shot.

I heard Bloomfield is closed this year, but will reopen in 2007. I can't seem to get there before they close. However, I do see it listed on the NJ site (at a different location in Bloomfield than last year), so I really can't say if it is open or not. Can't spread rumors
I tried going to the Bloomfield market 2 weeks ago...no sign whatsoever that there is or would be a market there. Didn't know they were supposed to be closed all year, but it certainly seems that way.

speaking of which, i saw a show on heirloom tomatoes last night (and yes, that'll get you hungry even if you're in bed and it's 10.30 pm). they said to dry out the seeds and plant 'em the next year. not sure if jersey's climate is ideal enough to handle this kind of approach though. i know i'm certainly not versed enough to try it yet.
For the most part we've given up on trying to grow any kind of Heirloom tomato outside. You really need a year-long tomato growing season like in the South to be able to grow them effectively, or you need a greenhouse, where pretty much all of the heirlooms you buy in the Farmers Markets in NJ come from.
I think we have two heirloom varietals growing, the Brandywine and one other, but I'm not keeping my hopes up for them in terms of yeild. The various Burpee hybrid types really do tend to do the best in our climate.
I bought 6 different heirloom seedling varieties from Catalpa Ridge Farm and they're all doing quite well. They're in the ground, not in pots, though. Just sayin'....

There are many good Brazilian BBQ places in Newark, but I'm fairly sure there is not one with this name. Why don't you do a forum search for Brazilian rodizio places?

I hate being bumped by old Portugeuse ladies with their carts in Seabras.
I'd also have to agree with jpr54_ here. The word "sanitary" doesn't come to mind when I visit their fish or meat department. That dried baccala does make my stomach turn very easily but it's not that it's the warm to tepid fish floating in styrofoam containers that raise my eyebrows. My girlfriend is Azorean-Portugeuse and comes from Ironbound. She won't shop there at all.
They have decent stuff but if I am going to buy fish in Ironbound I wouldn't go to Seabras, I'd go to Popular Market on Ferry St. where the turnover of fish is huge.
Regardless, Ironbound to me is not worth the effort or inconvenience to drive to in order to go to the market. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much traffic nowadays.
Don't know about fish, but Seabra's is the place to go for pork. They raise their own pigs and never inject it with tenderizers like some supermarkets. Rich, try the one in Kearny on Schuyler Ave. if you don't want to go to Newark....same items, and I've never had an issue with the cleanliness.

I just passed this place the other day. Here is their website http://farmbistro.com/home.aspx .The sign outside said they also deliver now. I hope to check it out soon.
