    According to the Pita House website, they are moving to this location sometime this spring.

    I have been reading quite a bit about black garlic, and I am interested in playing around with it. Has anyone seen it available in the area?

    In Vegas its 3 am and you are just jonesing for a lobster burger after a night of losing at black jack (or if you are part of Landrum's entourage, ogling strippers), what are you to do? Head over to Caesars Palace, well not exactly now, but by the end of the year.

    Two questions as to how it compares to Liu: What did they have in the way of dipping sauces and how clean is it? My one complaint about Uncle Liu's is that it is a bit dingy.

    O'Brien's moved at some point in the late 80's (maybe early 90's) from a shopping center on Gude Drive that also contains the painfully horrible Chicken Basket. Canopy took that spot, then became Charlie's, and now is Hot Stone BBQ - the change from O'Briens to Canopy was a vast improvement - the sliced pork shoulder with Eastern Carolina Sauce still remains one of my favorite sandwiches.

    Heritage Dupont sucks donkey pud, now the Glover Park location is a different story. Otherwise my choices would be in descending order, Rasika, Passage to India (Bethesda), Bombay Club (downtown), and finally Delhi Club (in Clarendon - good solid Indian, but not great Indian, on par with Bombay Curry Company, just easier to get to from the city).

    This just goes to show that two people that butt heads on almost everything can at least agree on something.

    If you want old school professional, the charmingly grizzled waiters at Galatoire’s in New Orleans will fit the bill. Nothing pretentious, just pure unadulterated professionalism.

    I have no opinion concerning him, but I do know that he is an avid classic car collector with a passion for muscle cars of the GM variety – so not matter what, there is at least one thing I cannot fault him for, I mean he could be one of those freakish MOPAR devotees. But back to food, I think you hit on a point that calls into question almost all of these shows that visit restaurants and offer commentary with the chef/cook/owner next to the person doing the opining - I think that the worst offender was Rachel Ray where you would practically see her fu... umm, I mean orgasm face whenever she tasted any food.

    I am going to have to disagree with this on two points, the first being that we have two types of “high cocktail culture” in this country, the first and most prevalent are those people that like to drink the specials at TGIMcTuesdays as their more “cultured” companion sips his Grey Goose Martini. I am willing to bet that these people outnumber the craft cocktail culture by a good 10,000 to 1. As for Europe’s cocktail culture, it is alive and well in London, actually, I would say that it has the most vibrant craft cocktail scene in the world with only New York and Tokyo as competitors, as for the continent its self, well depending on the country, I recommend ordering wine, beer, or some sort of brandy.

    You must be a Mustang fan, frankly, the only thing I find worthwhile on the show are the flashes of the 1967 Camaro SS Convertible - a car I would happily take over almost any postwar American automobile.

    I know how you like to correct people’s cooking questions, so I figured that I would do the same for you, and the state of the nature of being gluey is to "glutinosity" as opposed to glutinous which since the mid 19th century has come to mean “containing gluten.” Other than me being a complete ass, why would this matter? Because there are plenty of people that could read this, see that you (someone they may trust) says that potatoes contain gluten and avoid eating them for that reason – so in this case words can indeed matter. As for the tardiness of this post, I guess someone should have locked the topic if it is not OK to reply at this late date.

    I think that your 'n' key died a quick and painless death.

    While late to the party, I would like to point out that potatoes contain no gluten, the glueyness is caused by a starch called leucoplast (a carbohydrate) as opposed to gluten (a protein). As for the best method to breakdown the potatos before adding the milk based fat products, I have found that using a medium screen tamis (aka drum sieve) gives far more consistent results with less effort than a ricer or food mill.

    Too bad he didn't look like Khatia Buniatishvili and that she does not play like Richter.

    The rule should be to never buy liquor named after the store you are in - though you can suspend this rule when purchasing from some of the finer stores in Europe.

    I used to keep a bottle of this in my locker in high school, why? Because in a Windex bottle it looks like the product - my locker was searched twice for... umm... contraband and they never found it, though they must have thought that I was mighty vain to keep a mirror in the door (why else would I need a bottle of window cleaner).

    I have no tolerance for bitter flavors (maybe my mouth finds that it is akin cannibalism), I guess that is one of the reasons why…
  19. Sthitch
    Wow, I guess that means I will be able to BYOB to Mark's Duck House in the near future.

    Follow the trail back and hit the nest with some Raid, kills the colony, and you can always put something heavy over it so the kittens cannot get to it.

    The Old Pal, doesn't matter if I make it or someone else does, this drink just sucks - I have had three and that is my lifetime limit.

    If you want another, next time try the blue corn chicken enchiladas.

    While slogging home yesterday and seeing a nursery, I thought of DeBaggio's and pondered what we might get this year. It is always a treat to find something new to bring a splash of fragrant green to our modest backyard. I know that he had been ill for quite a while, so it was only a matter of time, however, it is a great loss to his family and anyone that had met him.

    I know that they made some changes to the liquor laws for the Quadrennial Winter Corrupics, oops I mean Olympics, but I am not sure how many they changed, but I always found it cheap to drink in SLC because no drink could contain more than 1 oz of liquor – made for really shitty martinis.

    Is that possible The only thing that has ever endeared me to Rio Grande is the quality of the chips, but even that will not get me to cross town any longer - now when I want to get my gloppy Tex/Mex on (I have a special place in my gullet for good gloppy non-authentic Mexican food), I head over to Cantina Mexicana on 23rd St near Crystal City.
