  1. yeah
    Strongly recommend letting someone behind the counter guide you through a tasting. Yes, you want to feel good about something you're paying $25+ /lb for. Chances are you will, and your palette and exposure to cheeses of the world will get a good workout in the process.
  2. yeah
    Turkey legs are excellent, not shy with the seasonings. Dirty Rice stuffed leg is tasty as well, though at some point the salt got a bit overwhelming. Creamed corn somewhat counteracted it until it didn't. I wouldn't eat this every day, but I'd say go early for takeout (lines get crazy long from what I understand) and feast. https://theturkeyleghut.com/

    Last time I was at Rosenfeld's (OC location), I was given par-boiled bagels with some instructions for finishing in the oven the next morning. That was the way to go. Rosenfeld's is just generally awesome, sorta can't go wrong there.
  4. yeah
    Highly recommend the Chicken and Rice bowl from Balo. Get it spicy, the coconut milk rice will even it out. Also, get the large and you've got at least two substantial meals on your hands.
  5. yeah
    The whole shopping strip, with the former K-Mart now subdivided into a grocery store and several restaurant sites, appears to be on the cusp of transforming into something interesting. Worth keeping an eye on it.
  6. yeah
    Gran Marnier hot toddy--Gran Marnier, squeeze of lemon, hot water. Proportions to taste.
  7. yeah
    Off season, Rosenfeld's in OC doesn't open until 11am. I came by in the afternoon and mentioned we'd be eating the bagels I was ordering the next day for breakfast. The wonderful person behind the counter asked if I wanted the bagels "unbaked," which I guess meant they were parboiled but not finished in the oven. We popped four in the oven this morning at 350 for 10 minutes and were duly rewarded--just incredible. Excellent smoked salmon too.
  8. yeah
    Apple hand pies--a vastly superior version of the only thing I can eat from McDonald's. That's almost certainly underselling it, but eating the two side by side would be an excellent reminder of why you should pay up for quality.
  9. yeah
    Check out a 2nd floor room at the Double Tree. You can access the hallway from street level and walk 100 feet to your room. Larger rooms have kitchenettes.
  10. yeah
    This was the Annandale one. Interesting history of that location, from being the area's first BonChon location to becoming Chi Mc and now "Chi Mc in name only."
  11. yeah
    Chi Mc was firing on all cylinders this past Saturday. Every wing juicy, meaty, nothing over-fried or over sauced (have had this issue with Bon Chon and Pelicana, respectively). Fried gizzards were an unexpected hit with 5- and 7- yeah old as well.
  12. yeah
    Kabobs for four today from the Lee Hwy location were excellent. The green sauce bright and tangy, all meats charred and smoky, naan warm and crusty. All the textures and flavors we needed to break up the monotony of our increased home cooking. Everything about this place is suited to the moment--local biz serving comforting food that also travels well.
  13. yeah
    Way too much sauce on the chicken at Pelicana. The joint would function surprisingly well as a sports bar--big TVs, good views of them from all seats--but our meal was ruled a death by drowning in sauce. Should have heeded the server's subtle between-the-lines to get it without the sauce.
  14. yeah
    The eggplant parm at the Ballston location is excellent. Excellent ratios of sauce to breading to cheese to eggplant. Eggplant texture was perfect, not mushy at all. And on top of a bed of fresh, springy pasta. Having tried most things in the revamped Ballston food court, Cucina al Volo is the one place I'd recommend unreservedly.
  15. yeah
    On the topic of by-the-slice from a grocery store--the North Old Town Harris Teeter is much better than you might think, but only when Al is controlling the oven. All bets are off otherwise.
