Jason, Heberts does ship. Well, from a site in Tulsa:). I got so hungry reading your information that I ordered one online. Nice people. It's in my freezer now, awaiting Thanksgiving. Here's the website- http://hebertsmeats.com.

Does anyone have experince with Stella! ??? We will be in New Orleans for a long weekend right after Christmas--the 28th is our 40th anniversay, Saturday we will be at Bayona and we like Mr. B s for Sunday brunch---but on Sunday night the concierge recommended Stella! It has gotten some good reviews elsewhere , but I trust you guys What do you say?

I'd appreciate information too--and if it is about spanish food in general , I would love that. I will be traveling to Madrid, Seville and Toledo in the second week of October. I'm going with my daughter--it's a very special trip for us to enjoy each other's company. I am 60, well traveled in North America, though I have only been to Italy in Europe. My daughter has been to many countries as a young girl--traveling cheap We will only have a week--hope to maximize our siightseeing and eating---not necessarily in that order. We will tend more to lunch for our main meal of the day--thinking that this is perhaps more " spanish". and tapas at night. What did you love there that you could not get at home? What tastes do you find unique to Spain? And also--What experiences in Spain were the best for you? I love small moments-views, people, gardens, art, and well.....food.I am looking forward to the answers of the participants on this board.

Hello! Yes, there is a special tasting menu-- it changes with the chef's ideas and the season. I think it is reasonable for what you get. $75.00 for menu and $45 for wines. Here's what we had Amuse-Tomato and Basil " salad, cold pea and anise soup with iced rhubarb Champagne--don't know what kind I don't usually care for anise and my husband does. I liked the pea and anise soup and he didn't . Go figure.

Just thought you'd like to know that our recent trip to Michgan was all your fault When I read your post on Tapawingo, I remembered how much my husband and myself had enjoyed that restaurant several years ago. So I called for reservations on the Fourth of July weekend, thinking they probably would not have any. Luckily, they did and as my husband said " we drove 500 miles for dinner". Since we wanted EVERYTHING, we had the tasting menu with wines. It was an excellent menu, managing to go together as a whole , and the wines, several from Michigan , were a revelation. By the way, we stayed at the House on the Hill bed and breakfast about 10 minute away and liked it very much. Thanks for the push!
