I have never eaten at any Olive Garden or Carraba's and doubt I ever will. Living and cooking on the Eastern shore of maryland now, we have NO dining choices that truly aren't crap. It's unfortunate that the most recently hyped opening is a Golden Corral! This proves, "if you build it they will come"....
I had a guest last night that requested no salt be added to her food. Guess what I did? I did not add any salt to her food. It's a personal choice and government needs to STAY OUT OF IT!
The fact that the Prez is dining around is encouraging for local restaurants. He is promoting dining out and that's a good thing for restaurants and our local economy !
I hope to hell they catch the cowards. Better the law gets them rather than a chef. S*&t like this makes me so f&%$*#g angry. Hopefully they will be able to open asap. I'd go for foie gras night or foie gras week or foie gras month!
I have to disagree with you. Every manager that I have ever worked with has worked the stand and the floor. The manager should be the front face of the restaurant.
I agree. I was born in DC and lived here all my life and he did not even touch the real DC IMO. I like his show as well but I have noticed that he seems to be going a little soft these days.
It was bound to happen. Right? In these harsh economic times a lot of business's are going to try to push the envelope as it were. I'm not saying it's fair just a reality.
I enjoy making a Galantine of duck using forcemeat with pistachios, dried cherries or cranberries plumped and strips of foie gras. I poach this in a poultry stock with aromatics. I serve it as an appetizer.
Having worked for Roberto at Pesce, Galileo, Barolo and Il Radicchio back in what I term as the "Glory day's" of his restaurant empire, I wonder if he's tiring of his "One man restaurant show" and begining to expand his wings a little?
