  1. FYI. Kitchen Confidential was on FOX, not NBC.
  2. I've used cheddar and chevre with good results. I think it comes down to what you like better.
  3. I agree. Ghirardelli is a great "go to" chocolate for yur everyday use.
  4. I agree. Allmans is great. Then you go down the road a bit to Carl's to get Frozen Custard.
  5. If you're in Prince William County, Global Foods has them.
  6. Looks like it could be interesting. I'll give it a try once it opens. Although I will say the few people I've met from North Dakota were a little on the strange side.
  7. Try El Cuscatelco Restaurant across the street in the same strip center where the Outback is. They do Salvadorian and Peruvian cuisine.
  8. Loved Roy's on my younger days. much better than McDonalds. There are still a few out there and I'll stop in now and again. Hardee's really screwed them up bad when they owned them.
  9. I think the article said that the author worked at Citronelle in its early days.
  10. A non-cooking food show that was a favorite was "A Cooks Tour" with Tony Bourdain. As for cooking food shows I like, I've gotten useful stuff off of : Molto Mario, Every Day Italian (even though Giada smiles way too much), Entertaining with Michael Chiarello, and a few others like Jamie Oliver's show and some of Bobby Flay's stuff. I hate Rachel Ray and Sara Moulton (for some reason she reminds me of a horse).
  11. Going to Denver for meetings next week. Any good places I should try to get to?
  12. Very true. No self respecting Southerner will put something sweet like syrup or jelly on their grits either.
  13. I think it's a great cookbook. I've tried several of the recipes and they've come out great. Plus his intro and explanations are pure Tony Bourdain.
  14. I have the book as well, although haven't tried any of the recipes yet. Still working my way thru Tony Bourdain's excellent cookbook
  15. You could tell that place was going to be a failure from reading the weekly updates in the Post Magazine on Frank. He was just to irresponsible to make a go at a venture like that.
  16. Ate at Corduroy last Friday for my birthday. Everything was great. I had buffalo mozzarella porcupine and the halibut, my wife had the squash soup and the scallops. Everything was cooked to perfection. I also got to meet and chat with Rissa. Truly a delightful evening.
  17. If it's something you're going to use year after year or use more than just for your turkey every T-Day, then I'd say bite the bullet and spend the extra few bucks to go with the quality product.
  18. I agree with Capital Icebox. I've eaten at Bouchon in Vegas and the food was great and the waitstaff was awesome as well. It would be a welcome addition to the DC food scene if this rumor is true.
  19. I'd have to agree for a "nicer" place Bistro Betham is great (they do a great Brunch on Sundays as well). For more casual and a real piece of F'burg history you have to go to Allman's and Carls.
  20. Taste of Casablanca in Arlington is better. As for Belly Dancing, I think that is done simply for the tourist and the uninformed. My wife (who is from Morocco) says belly dancing is not a big thing over there.
