So, my wife went to Kalluri Corner in Princeton and had their lunch buffet, which included a tomato soup. She said the food was good, but the soup tasted a lot like Campbell's, so much so in fact, that she half-expected to see empty red and white Campbell's cans n the trash outside. I'm assuming that the soup included in lunch specials probably isn't going to be their best effort, but I have no idea which soup to recommend. Does anyone know the soups they are known for, the ones that was mentioned in the Times article?

Thanks, Babyluck!!

Hey, Does anyone remember the name of the place in Princeton that was mentioned in the NY times article? They charge $$ to look at their article archive..... Thanks.

So I was speaking with my father and he suggested we have dinner at a new steakhouse in Weehawken (turned out to be Edgewater) that he heard 'rave reviews' about from 'reliable sources.' Has anyone 'been' to this place, or others in this 'restaurant chain'? Is it really worth the raves? Sorry for tall the quotes, but I popped onto the 'Zagat' website and found no mention of the place. Color me 'disappointed'. Happy Holidays, everyone!

While I have never been to La Ciboulette, I had many wonderful meals at its predecessor, Stephen's Cafe. Stephen's was excellent and consistent, and had some of the bests soups I've ever eaten. Unfortunately, its owner, "Bill," passed away, and the restaurant changed hands. I've heard rumor that the new owner was a chef at Stephen's, but I am not certain. And unfortunately, the new cafe has removed the $29 Prix Fixe which made Stephen's such a fantastic value. I eagerly await a verdict on the new (and more expensive) place.

We'll be away for the weekend, so we're out for tomorrow. But next time we're a definite maybe :)

Some friends of ours had dinner at L'ecole years ago, and raved about the solid french fare that ran around $35/pp for 5 courses with wine. Since then, I've heard mixed reviews of the place. Some toot the value horn, while others have claimed it all depends on the night you go. What have your experiences been? Have people eaten there multiple times? Is the food uneven? What's it like eating someone's homework? Should we reserve during midterms or finals for a better meal?

One more time... BURGER JOINT. Welcome to Burger Club. Maybe. Burger Joint? That might be the name, but does anyone really call it that?

I've heard that Wild Ginger in Englewood is an excellent and unusual Japanese fusion place. Unfortunately, I haven't made it there yet. Anyone have thoughts on this?

This is definitely an idea whose time has come. Unfortunately, I, like pnapoli, can't really do weekdays, although Sarah works in NYC and probably could break away at lunch. And I would second whomever recommended Big Nicks; it's been awhile since I've been, but I was impressed.

Reading about everyone eating the wonderful leftovers is making me hungry all over again. Why, oh why didn't I take anything home?

Wow... you egulleters know how to kick ass! Mrs. HscottK (aka Sarah) and I had a blast getting to meet you all, and chowing down on such amazing creations. We had to wait all summer for its most glorious day, and gorging ourselves just seemed the right way to celebrate. Fink, what can I say.... you are a magician with a pig carcass. You have brought barbecue to a new level. I just hope all this doesn't go to your head, and you raise your prices. South Jersey Epicurean: You will be happy to know that I am back on Atkins, and hating every minute of it. Rich P: mmmmmmmmmmm.... beer. Ad rock: The name fits... that sangria rocked. Elyse: Your Mayan Love Cookies will cure anything from the common cold to fallen arches. Oh, and a few disorganized snatches from y'all: I KNEW those samosas tasted familiar! I used to live about 5 doors down from Chowpatty. Everyone has a past, and that's mine. Um... you should expect to hear from our attorneys on this one, although I don't think a jury would convict anyone who could make such a beautiful jello mold. Oh, and I think it' only right the wife made the photo album, since she was the one who made the baked beans, although I did copious amounts of stirring all weekend.

I called this morning, and they are sold out. But I did get the scoop on what they are doing. It will be a sitdown, but with 'tasting' portions of steak and wine (2 oz of steak per course/ 5 courses). It sounds interesting. I can't wait for the reviews.....

I must have missed the original bean person. Should we switch back to eggplant casserole? Or do we predict the bean demand to be sufficient?

I have just been informed that my wife makes a mean bean. Unless someone had their heart set on eggplant casserole, put us down for baked beans.
