I heard that they will be reopening within the next few weeks.

Marie-Let us know. If it is good I'll get over to Costco ASAP. BTW-if anyone is interested in an e-mail reminder of Table Hopping send an e-mail to foodbytes@yahoo.com and put e-mail reminder in the Subject area.

Thanks for the King/Sockeye explanation. Since Copper River Salmon is only available for a short time I'm surprised that the sockeye is so "cheap."

That's a big difference in prices.

Copper River Salmon was selling for $30 a pound at Whole Foods the first week it was available. I think it's down to $23 a pound now. So $37 for a dinner is not our of line.

AND MUCH MORE………..

They have their liquor license.

We were at Piquant in New Brunswick and thought it was excellent. The menu is 60% vegan and vegetarian; BYO. Worth the ride. http://www.piquantfoods.com/philo.htm

Has anyone been here? Is it any good? Any recommendations on what to order? Thanks.

John--Have a wonderful summer. I look forward to reading about your eating experiences in the paper. Pete writes a "must read" column with lots of useful information.

We never has service problems at Epernay either. And if you go ask for Sandra as she is an excellent waitress.

Congratulations to Chef Anthony Lo Pinto on the "VERY GOOD" he received from restaurant reviewer David Corcoran in the New York Times May 21, 2006.

Address?

Isn't La Forchetta in Englewood? Is there another one?

I had a wonderful lunch at Frog and the Peach recently. If the weather is nice sit on the patio, as it is so delightful there. Started off with a roasted tomato soup. Be forewarned that this is a large bowl—not a cup of soup. I had half and my dining companion finished it. I had an extremely tasty app for my entrée of tuna sashimi, with cucumber salad, lemongrass broth and tobiko. My friend had a “must try” of seared sea scallops, sesame peanut noodle sushi, and pickled vegetable salad with a miso vinaigrette. The scallops were huge, extremely fresh and this is what I will order the next time. The crispy rolls and herbed butter served with our lunch were addictive. We shared a rhubarb/strawberry strudel for dessert. The restaurant also offers a three course prix fixe lunch with selections changing weekly for $19.95. If you are in the New Brunswick area I can highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. Phone: 732-846-3216.

Looking forward to coming in sometime during the week for dinner.

Adegiulio--are you saying that you will now order salad at Epernay? I've always loved the food there and assume that since the chef has been working with Mark for four years that the quality will remain the same. If you're in this part of NJ be sure to PM us.

Menu will stay the same and a new spring menu will be out soon. The Chefs have been working with Mark for 4 years. They may open for lunch but I don't know when. Stay tuned!

The Ryland Inn received an extraordinary in 1995 and 2000. The Tewksbury Inn received an extraordinary from Fran Schumer in October '95. So with Nicholas that makes 4.

Be sure to read the story about Amazing Hot Dog in the NJ section of the New York Times April23, 2006.

Congratulations to Nicholas and Melissa for receiving an EXTRAORDINARY from David Corcoran in the NJ section of the NY Times on April 23, 2006.

The magazine had a mailing for their first issue and is published 6-7 times a year. Owned by Conde Nast. I'm sure you will eventually be able to find it in the grocery and book stores.
