Overheard on the New York Boards

"The dou ban sauce was hot and piquant with black vinegar, not sweet as it is many other places we've eaten it, including Szechuan Gourmet most recently. The fish (a non-muddy-tasting tilapia) was impeccably cooked (steamed, not deep-fried) and soft as butter. I usually don't like fish belly but we scavenged every iota of fish flesh including the belly and all of the head meat just so we could keep eating that sauce." – buttertart on dou ban yu (chile bean paste fish) at Old Sichuan

"The most satisfying non-meat dog in NYC is the carrot dog at Willie's Dawgs on 5th Ave in Park Slope. The texture is obviously not just like meat, but the taste is much closer than any meat substitute I've tried – packaged or at a restaurant. I'm not sure how but they brine it just right. So delicious." – sallysadie

"The bartender was a gray-bearded gentleman who exuded tremendous wisdom. The service was prompt and polite, and my Eggs Walkers was an extremely enjoyable eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. The quality of the smoked salmon was most certainly to my liking. The best part was it came with an exquisite Bloody Mary and a soul-warmingly deep and rich cup of coffee. All for $13." – AubWah on Walker's
