I totally agree. I guess I'm pretty spoiled, but I wouldn't go back and order softshells. However, if you order strategically at Hank's, you can eat as well or better and walk out feeling stuffed. If you want a big softshell crab, try the one at Corduroy!! It's a Ron Jeremy.

Is no one else appalled by the Fruit & Walnut salad at McDonald's? I think they should maintain their killer image and stop with these salads. Who wants rancid berries and lettuce leaves when they're looking for a happy meal?

Is that The Golden Triangle? -
I too had the opportunity to try Somoma this weekend and really took pleasure in how clean and simple some of the dishes were. After being beaten down by that sun all day, I really just wanted something uncomplicated and honest. I had the wood grilled (cedar plank?) king salmon with pancetta-leek compote and baby spinach, which was perfect medium-rare and the compote, vibrant without being too sweet or relishy. Nothing was over salted. It hit the spot. And the grilled asparagus with farm egg and aged balsamic, which perhaps sounds dull, had an intense meaty flavor. I remember wishing I had more bread to sweep the trails of that crumbled egg and the lingering residue on the plate. It's wonderful that Sonoma has such a nice long bar and such a generous offering of wines by the glass. Initially, the sterile atmosphere, the brushed aluminium everything worried me. But the food reminded me of a great meal I'd have in my own backyard and the service was casual and warm. I'm looking forward to returning soon and trying that intriguing venison and the wonderful sounding wagyu burger.

I heard from a fairly reliable source that it's going to be another Tryst. Or perhaps I imagined it.

They seem not to realize that it's MacArthur Blvd., not Rodeo Drive. BlackSalt, just minutes from the Delcarlia Reservoir. They were snotty the first time I was there.

A 5,000 gallon tanker hit a donkey on I-66 this morning and flipped. The driver is reportedly okay, but authorities said most of the unspecified booze spilled onto the roadway and evaporated. What a tragedy! The truck was bound for a delivery on Connecticuit Avenue, but no one was able to confirm where.

Hellman's is a lovely product. I like things that bring out the best. Me no like Whole Foods canola oil crap. Me no like Tofuya. Or whatev. Me no like whipped miracles. Miracle whip sounds pornographic or like unplanned parenthood.

Be sure to try Trader Jose's. !

I like to use the suggestion box that most establishments have over by the toilets. Who agrees, though? Less outstanding food, served by a good soul, in a great room, under appropriate lighting, in a comfy chair, sitting amongst your most favorite people in the world...and drinking a great wine. That's a great meal still.

That cake is a work of art! Kudos to all of you. I see ventworm nuts, but did anyone concoct the famous Martian Pig Slop (from Hell)? -
