We can get fresh fish delivered seven days a week. Even out here in the hinterlands!

Spencer is quite a guy. Love his wines too. My sous chef was out there in March and got to visit his tasting room. Had a blast.
-
I will not give you an argument there. But those are the rules I and everyone else must live by...
-
before this devolves into a discussion about VA ABC laws, and I agree some are archaic... Anything specific you think is antiquated?
-
sorry, I misspoke (or typed) if that was the case, then yes its very legal. But to simply walk in with a bottle and want it served with your dinner. Nope.
-
I honestly don't know what is dumber, the law or paying someone 30 bucks to open and pour your wine...
-
Yeah that was a great show. But shows like that do not exist on FN anymore. I quit watching it years ago for a lot of the same reasons I quit reading the Wine Spectator. Empty, shallow content with just enough to make it intersting, but in the end a total waste of time.
-
I know, you are absolutely correct. But it wouldn't hurt to put a show on once a day dedicated to actual food education or awareness of issues that could positively impact peoples lives. Would it?
-
If it yields a "star" like Sandra Lee or RR is it really necessary?? Jesus, enough already. Id like that network to tackle real issues like why are people starving in this country or a focus shows on real, sustainable agriculture and farming. Not the fucking primp and fluff of tablescapes or the evermore irritating phrases like EVOO and yummo. Rant over, sorry.

I dont know what is scarier, a 1050lb. wild hog or an 11 year old that can handle a .50cal revolver... Anyone who has fired one knows what I mean.

Dude, you need counseling... Obsession is not healthy...and a Rachel Ray obession is bizarre on many levels.
-
thats a big party... I wonder if it would be like Brick Tamblin's pants party?
-
Most ice houses (suppliers) have dry ice for sale but a word of caution on the use of liquid nitrogen... It can fuck you up. I have seen it first hand. If you do find some, make sure its food grade and foremost, invest in safety equipment.
-
If the choices are Gray Ghost or Oasis, definately Gray Ghost. Oasis is a beautiful setting, but the wine at Gray Ghost is far superior.

rappahannock replied to Spiral Stairs's topic in Beer, Wine, and Cocktails
um... yes they are. There is so much more available in the market right now to even consider one of these thirty. -
"Top 30 Table Wine Brand Performers"

It looks like an inventory sheet from the local Giant or Food Lion... -
I agree, Saveur. It is all about the food. Gourmet is like the Wine Spectator...
-
She does occassionally have something to say, but 99% of it is forgetable. Consider Rachael Ray as a religion. If you have religion, fabulous! But keep that shit to yourself...
-
No, I had hoped but he had a scheduling conflict. Walter Seligman will be here. And you are right, he IS a great guy. Had a chance to meet many years ago through Spencer Graham.

The Controversy That's Tearing the Restaurant World Apart
rappahannock replied to mdt's topic in News and Media
I just love my pork spatula!! -
Wow, I was going to chime in yesterday, but this post sums up my feelings exactly. (Except, I bet my hangover is worse.) I would only add:Yum No.

The point I was trying to make was children need to behave when in public, PERIOD. Break it or buy is all well and good, but the fact is the thing would not have been broken if that parent was minding him. Furthermore, do you think the kid would break something at home if he didn't get what they wanted? Mind your kids in public, period, or face the social and economic consequences.

Oh I have a great one... A child, because his mother wouldn't make the waiter get him some Mountain Dew (which we don't serve), he decides to grab a ceramic chicken off a side table and smash it on the floor. Once smashed he said (and I kid you not) now get me a mountain dew or I'll smash something else. It took every fiber in my being not to impale the little bastard. The mother, clueless as she was, wasn't going to pay for the ornament. So I tacked the cost of the thing to the folks who booked the party. When they questioned it I suggested they take it up with the mother. Of course I was made out to be the bad person, not allowing children to be children. Now I don't have children myself, but jesus. If parents don't want restaurants to "profile" them, do one simple thing. Control your spawn...
