Italian isn't on the schedule, although in October the topic is scheduled to be International, so perhaps we'll see some Italian Restaurants then.

Is this a restaurant or a food store or both?

Wishing you the best. Be sure to let us know how your doing. Speedy recovery.

Sorry. I should have written---While some of them may not be white tablecloth 4-star type places, they are still good at what they do.

I'll see what I can find out. Which restaurants would you list? BTW--been to La Riviera and food is delicious.

That's bad news! A promising restaurant. And a big surprise, I did not notice it on "Table Hopping". Was this just this month? ← Just found out myself. Will be on Table Hopping soon. I'm working on my mid-Feb postings now.

Le Me Toujours has closed.

Never been and you need to check to see if they have everything you want. Anthony’s, 512 Station Avenue Haddon Heights, Tel: 856-310-7766

We used to get sloppy Joes and smokey Joes from Jack Cooper's deli in Edison. They are located in Warren now.

I prefer not to eat at hotel restaurants near the airport. I'd recommend the Iron Bound section of Newark.

It is interesting that David didn't mention anything about the service. I really liked the food alot here even though I didn't get any truffles. The service the one time I was there was awful. Will get back to Rocca eventually.

Cheese omelet for breakfast and a Turley on the counter for tonight.

Either have store bought or cans of beans which I can throw in the food processor. And you?

We cancelled our dinner reservation and I made a Chinese vegetable soup with noodles for dinner. We had a bottle of wine and some hummus pre-dinner. How about you? What are you cooking for dinner to help you get through the NJ blizzard of 2005?

I remember Teps. When did Sebastian's open?

There were many notable first impressions that I had at Ninety Grand Grille, 90 Grand Avenue, Englewood. The tables are spaced far apart, the room is quiet, the comfortable padded seats had armrests, and the bread—the first thing one has at a restaurant--was fabulous. We were told that it comes from Balthazar Bakery which is just down the street. Served with sweet butter the toasted pita triangles and hearty Italian bread were hard to resist. But the rest of our meal was just as impressive and I am sorry I haven’t discovered this restaurant before now. There’s also a new chef manning the stoves here--Charles Weber, previously of ZuZu Restaurant, Napa Valley, California. We started off with a Grand chopped salad made with red leaf lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, olives, and chickpeas dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette. The portion was big and could easily have served two. We also had a fabulous unusual roasted spaghetti squash salad with artichoke, portobello, and eggplant. I never would have thought to use cold spaghetti squash in a salad but it was wonderful. The two fish entrees we had were outstanding. The grilled Moroccan spice tuna was accompanied by seaweed salad and an addictive tomato goat cheese beurre blanc. It was one of the best pieces of tuna I have had in a long time. Lowell’s mahi-mahi with mangos, papaya, jicama, tomatoes and an onion confit was equally delicious. Dessert, a chocolate mousse dome, was beautifully presented and worth all the calories. Coffee was very good. Our dessert and coffees were comped and with a $32 bottle of wine, tax, and tip the bill was $129. For reservations call 201-568-5959. Anyone been here?

Yes. That's true. I didn't post about it because when I spoke to him a month ago he asked me to keep it quiet! I guess he didn't tell the other writers the same thing!

Scalini Fedeli is worth it in my book. Some info here: http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=20767&hl= Sorry--I can't help with the directions.

We only ate there once and only had three dished so if you do try this place be sure to give us a report. Hunan Cottage is still #1 on my list.
