    I don't doubt the veracity of the reports here of poor treatment at Slavin's, but I've been a long time customer and never had a problem with anything I bought there. In fact, I'm going there tomorrow to get a clam bake; the wife and I have been doing that as our Valentine's Day tradition for several years now and it's never been anything less than stellar.

    After hearing and reading many raves I went to CPS last night with my college roommate and I have to say I was a bit disappointed; the service was just OK and the food didn't really blow me away. The tuna tartar app was excellent, but I thought the ribeye was kind of small for almost $40 (not that I cared, it was an expense account meal) and the chimichurri sauce I got was thin and far from being the best I've had; however, the baby bok choy was fucking amazing! It seems kind of weird to me that the most memorable parts of my CPS meal were the apps and sides, not the wine or steak.

    Nick - Ignore the haters. The coffee at Murky is nothing short of divine and if people don't want to wait for quality, they deserve whatever type of swill they get.

    As I was reading through this thread I was wondering if Tony Luke's would come up. When I first met my wife I told her repeatedly about TL's "pork italian"; she didn't believe a sandwich could live up the hype until we went to Philly together and she finally had one. I'm ready to get in my car and go to Philly NOW!!

    I find all these comments about "attitude" from the staff at ala lucia remarkable. I've dined there maybe a couple of dozen times and I have never encountered a hint of attitude; the staff and owner have always gone out of their way to treat me like a VIP and trust me, I'm no VIP.

    Cheers mate! Hearty congratulations to you for not being like these people.

    The secret is the grilled onion pieces that are on every burger . . .

    Oh sweet mystery of life at last I found you!! My mouth is happy right now. I finally made it to Deli City for a Reuben and I would have to say that it lived up to the hype. I'm not really enough of a wordsmith to really put that corned beef into words; it was so supple and salty, fatty and delicious, tender and tasty, that I'm not eating another horrible Reuben. I'm just not going to do it. Reuben's will be reserved for when I'm at home during the week and can go there for lunch. Thankfully I have Monday off for Columbus Day, the baby and I will be having Reuben's for lunch at Deli City. Let me just say though, noone is going there for the atmosphere; and, as other posters have noted, it is no way, shape, or form a delicatessen.

    I said DECENT, that garbage isn't even pizza.

    I'd settle for a decent take out joint.

    Probably when we stop going to these crap restaurants . . . at all . . . ever . . . for any reason. I haven't been to Banana Cafe or Starfish lately, how are they holding up?

    Damn! Why so much hate for the Park Cafe? I've only eaten there once, the food was OK and the service was a little less than OK; I guess the fact that it's a 10-12 minute walk from my house and I've only eaten there once tells you about what you need to know though.

    Low blow Banco . . .

    Last night I was at the Argonaught, they have $3 wings & Yeungs on Wednesday nights. The wings were a little small, but very tasty and at $3 for an order of 12 who's complaining?
