excessive lamb pot... Rocks' naked bollocks appal, o linger ye not.

Like a Flash Mob, only fattier and correspondingly slower to agglutinate.

I have yet to read the thread that gave birth to this one, as I am indolent and, frankly, somewhat inebriated. But I do recall a passage from Tony Bourdain's Les Halles cookbook on the topic which claims: "The truth? I don't know any restaurant, have never in twenty-eight years seen any U.S. restaurant -- no matter how good or prestigious -- use fresh snails." Of course, I make no claim that this represents an unimpeachable source.

According to my Opentable profile, I ate dinner at the Blue Duck Tavern on July 29, 2004. I would be happy to report back on it but, as The Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy notes, the major problem of time travel is grammar and I lack the necessary tense formations.* * Readers who are not aficionados of comic sci fi may prefer to conclude that Opentable simply substitutes each new iteration of a restaurant in its database for the one which preceded it, in this case Melrose.

Had a very enjoyable dinner at Le Soir out in Newton Highlands last night. Regularly voted best "neighborhood place" in the Boston suburbs, and I can see why. Nice wine list, good buzz in the dining room, Mark Allen was running food out of the kitchen himself. Highlights: Whole roasted Monkfish with carrots and lardons. Wasabi deviled eggs. Pork chop with black pepper pineapple and sweet and sour cabbage. (Sounds odd, works great.) Definitely worth a half hour ride out of town on the D Green Line. (Newton Highlands T stop.) Or, in our case, the half hour drive in on the Pike from High Chair and Cheerios land.

Who Is The Most Intimidating Person You Have Cooked For?

For heaven's sakes, Don't burn the cakes! -
I dunno. Apart from the house numbers part, it sounds like a pretty accurate description of a few of your getaways, dude.

$5 says it still opens before Ray's Classics.

Actually, Don's commitment to proper indentation has been universally recognized. -
I'm too drunk to go back through the thread, but I assume someone has already spoken up for the Tune Inn?

I just had a frozen supermarket pizza for lunch. I'm crying tears of blood here!

Lighter fluid. It's been one of those days.

2002 Mulderbosch Beta Centauri. Nice, but $80 a pop, no.

Founders Centennial IPA. Have never wanted to visit Grand Rapids before now.

The conglomerate that owned Hoegaarden merged with another conglomerate in late 2004 to form an even bigger conglomerate. The upshot of this is that the Hoegaarden brewery in the town that gave it its name is currently being closed down and production is being moved to a new industrial plant in Southern Belgium. Consumers are assured that this will in no way affect the quality of the beer itself. They are also urged to buy this here bridge, which I have for sale quite cheaply.

China Gourmet, Fairfax - Thai'd.

Hey, even when there are English translations at hand, something important can still get lost... (Edited to add, this is not intended to be racist, only tasteless.) -
Don't forget to bard it with bacon!

Agreed. Ideally, he should sweat into the food too.

Take a date and make out?

Now that's interesting. There's an Ichiban Sushi in Salt Lake City, housed in a converted church and run by a woman who I believe was the first non-Japanese female to qualify as a master sushi chef. Seems a stretch (ahem) that they would be related, though?
