Not go too far off topic but, what should be the policy for people who bring their own beer?
-
But here's hoping he doesn't take the DiSpirito route to get there.
It appears that Mario has put in the hard work and effort and won't offer anything back that is either shoddy or half-hearted. The man has a college degree which tells me something about him in the first place and much training/education in the field of cuisine. I honestly believe that he is "the real thing" ...
Someone has tagged his latest book Motorin' Mario! "jumping the shark"! Oh no, I hope not.
Oh my. I was hoping the NASCAR tailgating book was a joke.

You might want to check out this thread. Sadly, other than the Broadmoor, there really isn't much high end dining in town - and ever since their remodel I have been less than impressed with them. (Although there is a new "American Bistro" opening at the resort sometime Real Soon Now, with Jacques Pepin's son in law as the head chef.)
The Air Force Academy is indeed here, but during Parents' Weekend (or whatever the official name is), they seem to crowd into Red Robin, Buca di Beppo, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and the like.

Is the Black Bear Restaurant in Green Mountain Falls any good?

Any recommendations for places in Little Haiti area?

The crab looked very promising.
The buy-one-get-one-free dungeness crab for $20?
I don't know if that's what it was, but as we were walking out we passed a single guy with a VERY large platter of crab in front of him.
Ah, I was just referring to the deal they advertise in Westword. I am tempted to try it, but I fear I'll be disappointed when I compare it to the dungeness crab I had in Seattle when I visited there.

I am partial to Parisi's pizza, it is the most italian style that I've had in Denver. Basil Doc's used to be better than it is--I think that they have slipped under new ownership and with expansion. But, they are close to my house and they are better than a lot of the competition in spite of the slippage.
Proto's looks intriguing--I'm not familiar with them.
I enjoyed Basil Doc's pizza when they had the DTC location. Parisi's pizza was ok to me, but the crust was too soft in the middle.

It was at the it for you if you asked seafood counter part where they have the fish on ice. I think they'd clean it if you paid for the weight it was before they cleaned it. Prices seem to change often. I saw lychees for 1.49 a pound on Thursday then when I came back Saturday, they were 1.99 a pound.

Hanh Ah Reum.

though komart sells mackerel for $1.99/lb compared to these people's $2.99/lb. when you eat as much mackerel as we do that's a 5-6 dollar saving on mackerel alone. but other things at komart are much more expensive, so it evens out.
When I was there today, they had uncleaned mackerel for 99 cents a pound.
-
I will be attending. Just myself.

Has anyone tried Taqueria Los Tres Reyes?
-
Bourdain aside, I think the whole "tribe" thing is kinda weird. I started surfing that site and here is a tribe obsessed with the number 23.
And they already have 119 members!
What is weirder than that?
A tribe obsessed with the number 23 isn't odd to me. The number 23 comes up in the oddest places.

God! How lame!
Don't these people have lives?
How many times can a person watch TB roll his eyes over some plate of food before
it becomes just the same redundant bore?
One could say the same about eGullet. How much can you talk about food before it becomes the same redundant bore?
-
Curious about that site, I did a quick search...
There is no Julia Tribe! I would join a Julia tribe...
Then start one.
-
I personally don't find it freaky. The site is merely for people with a common interest or enjoyment to communicate with each other. It could get "stalkerish", but so could any forum.

Is Ocean City on Alameda? I don't think that I have eaten there, although I seem to recall people recommending it as Dim Sum place.
Ocean City is on Mississippi and Federal. The dim sum place your referring to is probably Kings Land Seafood Restaurant.
-
I like Ocean City. It might not be what you consider good chinese food. Might be. Standards differ.
-
Just ask for a burrito with no rice. Much better that way.
I'd love to get a chipotle burrito with less or no rice, but the workers ignore me and put the standard amount.

How will you be visiting the other region? Will you have a car or will you be using public transportation? I should think that might make a big difference. Seven or eight days will only leave you a couple of days in each region as well as no more than three days in Madrid if we assume even a half day to travel between regions. The best food for the least money is yet another problem. A hundred euro tasting menu in a fine restaurant (as opposed to a similar meal in France that might cost as much as twice that) will meet that definition, but it may be more than someone might want to spend. I like Donastia a lot. I might run out of other things to do, but I could survive gastronomically eating all my meals in tapas bars three times a day for a week there.
I forgot to mention that I would be taking the bus between places. 100 euro tasting menu would be out of price range. I only have about 1k USD outside of plane ticket cost to spend, so I'll probably be just squeezing by. I was thinking of one place to splurge, and by splurge I mean 30 something euros. I was thinking of either visiting Basque area, Seville, or Barcalona. I'm trying to do a european tripbefore attending culinary school in the fall.

I'm plan on travelling to Spain in April for 7 or 8 days (I would go longer if I had more money :) ). I would like to have the best food experience for the least amount of money. What would you recommend? I would be coming into Madrid and would like to visit one or two other regions of Spain. I think I could trust eGullet's recommendations more than generic Spain guidebooks.
-
I go to Pacific Ocean Market as well. Quite sad that the plaza will become a Super Walmart. Last time I was there they had scallops in the shell for $2.99 a pound and blue crabs for I think $3.99/lb. I'd never until then seen scallops still in the shell.
-
So....Who here reads Westword's restaurant reviews? If so, do you agree with people's complaints that he doesn't talk enough about the restaurants? Also, who listens to KEZW's Restaurant Show with Warren Byrne?
-
hello there, fellow goon! Yes, the food threads on SA tend toward "how do I make my ramen not suck" but there are a few good ones like the mise en place thread a few days ago.
I missed the mise en place thread. You need the Iraqi Info Minister avatar here.
Corkage fees
in Restaurant Life
Posted · Edited by mtdew (log)
I still ask the question, what is an appropriate corkage fee if someone brought a beer or two?
