    furstenburg doesn't own breadline...and hasnt for awhile now. maybe quality has gone down? i've never really liked the bread i've had of theirs in restaurants, but loved the bread eaten directly from the retail location/sandwich shop. maybe his name should be taken off the thread?

    the owner used to be my chef when i worked at the morrison house (home of the chef-of-your-own restaurant, elysium); his name is gian piero mazzi.

    i'd say become a regular at a restaurant, or friends with a chef, then ask him to order you some stuff that you want. otherwise i'd say its bad manners and probably wont happen, if you just call and ask someone.

    anyone out there bake bread? if so, what types? where do you get your recipes? any secrets? i have been baking this weekend; and have been making a rustic boule, mostly white flour, but some whole wheat flour. my secret is the la cloche i bought at william-sonoma. it works. really. beautiful crust.

    i read it as first come first serve and as a lottery. i would love to get some, regardless.

    Joe....I think most of us are assuming that don wouldnt post this on the board and endorse his friend, if he wasnt assured that the wine was properly handled and stored.

    i ate at obelisk, a year and a half ago, and thought the food was simple. simple to a fault. not simple good. peter pastan is not a chef, he is a restraunteur. and; from what i have heard, furstenburg may not even own breadline anymore. my feeling is that 20% of the nominees are deserving 40% of the nominees were deserving say 5 or 10 years ago. and 40% of the nominees are just not deserving at all. for god's sake, del posto is nominated as best restaurant in the nation. it just opened up 4 months ago. i also feel that if a chef (like thomas keller) is the best in california, he should be able to win it every year. not just once every 5 or ten years. because in my opinion, that cheapens what the award really is.

    as someone in the business; i agree with you.

    blue hill had some definite misses when i went there a few weeks ago. lupa was a winner, especially the pastas and carafes of wine.

    not named sur la table or william sonoma to buy nice kitchen knives such as mac or misuno. want to be able to hold them in my hand before i buy them, so i was hoping anyone knew of a store in the area that might sell them. ty.

    mcdonalds?!?!? maybe not my favorite; just putting it out there for discussion. i like breadlines alot, because i really like limpy, potato-ey fries, kind of like 5 guys. now do people care if the fries they love are of fresh potato and hand cut as opposed to frozen?
  22. Jonathan
    by the way, pastan does not own either of the pizzeria paradiso's. he only owns obelisk and 2 amys. 2 amys is extremely successful.

    this statement seems to be so incredibly unfounded. how do you know who does what for what motivation? and secondly, do you know how much money 2 amy's makes? lots. lots and lots. whether or not they do it for profit i do not know. but i do know they make a lot of profit.

    What do people think if the french onion soup, and the food in general at Bistrot du Coin, Bistrot Bis, and Bistro Francais? Ed Stautberg <{POST_SNAPBACK}> never been to the second one, but the food at du coin and francais are both crap, in my opinion.
