@Shelby I know some one ( Anonymous ) that did the same.

@Paul Bacino absolutely stunning shells ? Meat Sauce ? or Classic tomato ? love both versions. Ill be keeping that pic. for review purposes.

@weinoo thinking about the price of the Zuni Chicken ( for two ) w an hour wait : wonder if there is a ' table fee ' involved the ZC chicken is famous . if a significant % of diners ordered it turnover , thus ' Bill Flow ' would suffer . then again , few might be able to wait an hour wondering aromas , etc . ( F.D.: slow day . waiting for Thurdays blizzard )

@BonVivant you take the most interesting trips. thank you for sharing them with us. do you know what the caption means on the picture with the three flower ? do restaurants have ' life like ' models of the food being served or is that only in areas frequented by foreigners ? is that no longer done ?

@weinoo thank you for the menus

@weinoo I agree . Eileen's books are top notch.

@liamsaunt fantastic Ive opened a new folder in my fo0d p0rn collection : its called Lamb you pic is entry # 1. 'thank you.

@Kerala beautiful TT my favorite.

@Duvel Outstanding. are the croissants made w butter ? interesting history re :croissants in France the curled shape , vs the straight shape. and Pork Products ! nice to see God's Bologna ( Mortadella ) is the version w/o pistachios. what is the blue item , just to the lower left of center ?

@Senior Sea Kayaker I agree w you re :cauli next time you have it in front of you on your plate it might help to reflect on the fact that is not GBPs

@scamhi always pleased to see your posts. and not jus because of the wine. very fine looking lamb. making note of roses temps.

@gfweb if its not around in 6 months , even better no need to cancel. don't need any more in 6 months cancel. beginning to get the idea ? Ill say no more.

@Duvel wonderful meal Im sure. what sort of potato did you use for themes ? its giving me ideas.

@weinoo thank you for the menus San Francisco is a fine city , on a beautiful city sunjny day . OK , parts of the city , these days.

@gfweb Excellent ! did you Subscribe and Save ? thank you @JoNorvelleWalker

My haul. I stocked up.

@Shelby ''' leftover fried shrimp ''' Oxymoron good luck ! been there. make sure you hear bout the Taboo Straw .

@weinoo fine trip. pleased you went to Tadich Grill. my favorite.

Credit Card companies have spent huge amounts of money ( a very very small % of their surcharge ) banning cash discounts , and much more banning CC surcharges through paying for legislation protecting their golden eggs.

@MaryIsobel I agree w you. mandatory tips are no longer tips. MT's are a way to slice up the actual cost to the dinner of the meal. into smaller units. why not add an ' energy surcharge ?' airlines do. business' are for profit. and the owner or partners want a return on heir investment. ' All staff are partners in this restaurant ' ?

This is my current Anova: I received it about a week ago, as it was on back order for about a month. its version 3.0 it was apparently on sale @ Anova for $ 149 , and at similar time was $ 188. at Amazon there is a more expensive Anova , for about $ 250 or so I believe. i got this one as my workhorse , which Ive had for quite a while got the heebee-jeebees as the water lever dropped too low and I did not notice , and it shut off. I couldn't figure out how to revive it ,and reset it , so bought this one. its not easy to see , but the cord entering the unit is fixed. the older one functioned , but the actual temp of the water , and the temp recorded on the screen were wildly different.

did the Berkley Bowl run out of honey ? used to be able to bring your own container and pick your own vat. and pay by weight.

and Im right behind @Shelby I will accept any and all Pork Products . no questions asked. Ok. F.D.: maybe a weisswurst ?

@Duvel Wow . Excellent . Congratulations . do like the look of that whisk(ie) glass . and the salmon . and the asparagus.

@Duvel do I love sausage ? yes I do. and for me , in spite of their being so many zillion delicious versions ; Ill always put Weisswurst near the top. split or not are their versions that are not 100 % veal ? does a Bear , you know , re: the woods ? what sorts of versions are available for you to pick from? I unfortunately have none. I have had some fine ones , from a German butcher and his family from Los Altos CA I preferred to grill them , rather than poach them in beer. I have drunk that beer , ice cold , while watching them grill heathen Im sure I am .
