Restaurant Suggestions - Doylestown - Willow Grove Area
you forgot to mention Augusto's. perfect location for the OP between Doylestown and willow grove.
Where else can you get bouillabaisse?
KitchenAid dishwasher choked to death on olive pit!
Did you check that you really have to buy the whole assembly? Check some online parts retailers and see for yourself. I'm just sayin'.....
Restaurant Supplier open to public
No, they had kitchen equipment from knives to ovens... and front-of-house stuff. Everything a restaurant would need. including pizza peels of course.
And they were happy to make a $12 sale to a home cook.
Bocelli in Gyw Valley?
All these people seemed happy with the place
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/374612 ..........but that dates back to 2010
I was there in summer 2011 and it was great. I was the guest of a regular so of course we got very attentive service.
The place is tiny and very busy and I hope crazyspice's experience was a fluke. I would hate to hear that they've slipped.
Restaurant Supplier open to public
Another good place in the northen burbs that's open to the public is Bova Foods on County Line Rd in Chalfont... I learned about it on this board and want to pass it on.

KITCHENAID BLENDER MOTOR JUST SHREDDED, ANY ADVICE ON NEW BLENDER FOR SMOOTHIES
First see what it would take to repair the KitchenAid. I've had great service from these guys

watch the video about replacing the coupling... the word you used "shredded" sounds like maybe thats the problem.
Seafood Shanty (Reading) reincarnated
The Wall Street Journal had an article about reviving dead brands and has a brief discussion of a guy who is reviving the Seafood Shanty concept.

It says the first restaurant is in Spring Ridge. Has anyone tried it?
Where to buy empty really expensive wine bottles on Van.Is.
dumspter dive at an expensive restaurant? Should be easier now that there are recycle bins.

yesssss........... precioussssssss............. we loves fissshhh..........
sorry, couldn't resist that.
Kitchenaid Food Grinder attachment does not seem to fit my machine
I've never had to do that.
Try assembling the whole grinder again, then as suggested above, rotate the whole grinder back & forth to set the square end of the shaft into the socket in the accessory drive.

I also should have pointed out that old town Park City is only, what, 15 minutes from the Canyons.. there are even free buses. So all options are....
...wait for it....
"ON THE TABLE"
Park City, Utah
The Loco Lizard discussed above is close to you.... in the same shopping complex as the Smiths supermarket. There were also other restuarants in there that I didn't get try.
Robert Irvine snookered by country folk? (SPOILER ALERT)
I doubt the producers of the show care.... They wanted an episode they could air and they got it. Call me cynical but I doubt they think of themselves as a charity.
If any of these "makeover" shows are even real....
Is buying a meat grinder worth it?
I'm with you.. if the OP has a kitchenaid mixer already, just buying the attachment is the way to go.
And let me add.... You know how you need some fat in the meat for moistness and flavor? As much fat as I've ever added to my grinder, I have never had to pour fat out of the skillet when browning. The stuff the supermarket sells must be half lard!..... regardless of what the label says.
Park City, Utah
Yeah, my group (all guys, starving after skiing) wasn't really looking for fine dining. Mexican and pub grub was more our style on this trip.
I wanted to try the Windy Ridge Bakery you recommended in another thread but didn't get the chance.
Thanks for all your local info.
Park City, Utah
Keeping this old thread alive.... Thanks to all for the recommendation for Loco Lizard... My group loved everything they had, in particular the fish tacos and the zuke-stuffed rellenos. Service was quick and attentive.
And the Wasatch Brew pub is still a great place to go ... We had typical brew pub food: burgers and personal-sized pizza.
Surprising there isn't more activity here.... Chowhounds don't ski? Skiers aren't foodies?
How to recognize the death rattle of a KitchenAid?
thanks for posting that.... the mendingshed page has the .pdf of the factory repair manual!!!.
also looks like the cheapest price on the foodsafe grease.
Kitchenaid Stand Mixer For A Very Low Price?
If you have an old one it's probably built better than what you can buy new. Treat it to a set of new beaters and keep it forever.
How to recognize the death rattle of a KitchenAid?
There are many sources of repair parts on the 'net but this one is the most awesome.. besides having parts for everything they have VIDEOS!
Watch the "leaking oil" video to see how to get to the gear case....
http://www.ereplacementparts.com/kitchenaid-mixer-parts-c-114958_114959.html
and read this article

You should be able to diagnose yours and get the parts for your exact model and a new tub of the food-grade grease.
But everyone should look at the home page and see all the brands of power tools and small appliances they support. I've used them a few times and if the part doesn't have to be special ordered they ship the next day.
food storage for open pantry
I'm cheap so I hate to buy containers. I wash out jars that I buy food in and re-use them for pantry storage. Plus there's the sustainability thing... reuse rather than have something new made for you.
You want to standardize on just a couple of sizes so you're not hunting for the right lid.
I use the "mason" jars that spaghetti sauce comes in.
Costco sundried tomatos come in a nice big jar with a wide mouth for scooping.
I had the people in my company's cafeteria saving big gallon jars - like pickles came in - for me. Or you could ask at a deli counter.
Save little pill bottles for spices from the food coop.
Requesting separate boards for Vegan-Vegetarian and Allergic-Intolerant
I think the first reply by "small h" says it the best of everything that followed.
The way the original request is written, it sounds like a request to have a separate place to discuss the "lifestyle" or diet, in contrast to restaurant reviews... am I correct? If so, then why not create the board and see if it draws any followers.
I personally would want restaurant reviews to continue to be posted in the relevant regional boards.... for the benefit of everyone including carnivores like me who would be interested to try a vegetarian restaurant once in a while.
The analogy that some people draw with the kosher board is a little strained... I've tried to read it out of curiosity but the very terminology is incomprehensible to a goyim like me. It's so specialized that it needs to be separate, including restaurant reviews.

Il Gattopardo, Richboro
Just got back from trying this new place in Richboro, Bucks county. It seems to have only been open a few weeks. Decor is rich and modern and the menu is fairly classic italian.
Execution was spotty. On a Wednesday night the place was packed. we were seated and abandoned... after 15 min we flagged down the floor supervisor, who we took to calling Fabio...guy spends his time waking the floor, schmoozing the regulars, but didn't notice we had no menus, no wineglasses, wine unopened.
After 35 minutes a overworked waiter took our orders.
Apps were generous... we ordered two (salumi and marinated veg, and broiled mozzarella) and the two were just right for a table of six.
We almost got served another tables entrees but eventually got our own. One guy said his chicken parm was the best he'd ever had, another woman said her veal marsala was very bland. People were passing the salt around. I had a pasta dish with lamb shank and mushrooms.... there was in fact a little meat in the sauce but not what I imagined, and whole peppercorns that I learned to avoid. But the pasta seemed homemade. Another guy had a pork chop that was good.
They admitted the desserts were bought in.
Overall we gave it a "B". It's worth a try if you're in the area, just keep a sense of humor about the service and be patient. This place could be great if they can iron out the staffing issues.
Is it appropriate to bring a winemaker's wine to share when going out to dinner with them?
A guy walks into a wine bar with a duck.
The sommelier says "What are you doing with that?"
Guy says "People told me this was a good place to just duck in for a quick one"
Is it appropriate to bring a winemaker's wine to share when going out to dinner with them?
I sorta combine both of the threads of advice you've gotten here. I'm close friends with a winemaker in the Finger Lakes. When I visit his winery and have lunch on the deck I bring something interesting from another region... he's always interested in something new.. OR.. something I've just tasted at one of his local competitors that I think he should know about. He seems to appreciate either.
When I go to his barrel tastings I bring something of HIS that I've had in my cellar for several years.. as other people mentioned the winemaker doesn't always have old vintages around. (Plus it makes me OPEN THAT BOTTLE before I save it too long) So it makes for a nice vertical sampling. And yes I share it with everyone at the tasting.
Tags for threads
Bumping this old post... and how does one remove them?
for example there's a thread about Park City Utah restaurants, and it has a discussion of the Deer Valley ski area. So a tag "deer" got created... like venison.
Makes no sense... how can we edit the tags?

Slate Bleu in Doylestown has a brunch menu on sundays and they have a full bar.
