Its been along time since I've had good Greek. Any suggestions? We have wide price range.
Pho Xinh (So Jersey)?
cwdonald - Yes - Thanks for calling me out on that. I have been to all of the Pho houses on Washington Ave and Chinatown. The best grilled meat Pho is a Pho Xinh on Evesham Ave. If I can travel to Chinatown for the best sugar cane shrimp paste and vermicille you can come to CH for grilled meat Pho
Pho Xinh (So Jersey)?
They also have a third location in Mt Laurel. The Marlton location has not opened yet. The food and the Pho are very solid.
The grilled meat (pork, beef and chicken) Pho is the best anywhere.
Overall Pho Eden in Cherry Hill is better.
Best sushi in South Jersey?
The owners are too friendly. I've gone for a late lunch when the rest. is empty. For every mouthful I took, I was asked whether it was good. This happened twice. Over bearing
Is Sang Kee in Cherry Hill open?

Top Dog Cherry Hill
sneak out after everyone orders and grab a slice at king of pizza next door. very good
Degustation - very poor
This negative review does not do the night justice because I was not paying attention to the ingredients and details of all 12 courses.
I know tasting menu courses are small, sometimes one bite. We were literally served a (one) cherry tomato cut in half with something drizzled on top. Now the drizzle could have been this elaborate sauce made from a virgins sweet simmered in truffle oil. But it sucked.
The whole night I watched the chef taking meticulus care of a square piece of meat (?). He turned it gently, cooked it on its side, proddered and poked. The block was cut in 1/2 inch slices. It was unediable and I'm a pig who can chew down just about anything. I spit it out.
The remainder of the courses were bland and nothing special?

Looking for a critique of my Philly food itinerary
"Asian isn't what our city does best..."
Its a matter of taste. However, most regard Philly Chinatown to be one of the best even when compared to NYC. Asian may be the cuisine Philly does the best. The only exception maybe Dim Sum?
Twisted Tail - a review
No excuse. Let the "paint dry", then open the rest? Your may not get a second chance
Fiesta Mexicano - Hamington NJ
Just heard a great recommendation from a local Pastor of a Mexican Trinity Methodist Church who raves about Fiesta Mexicano?
Please share.
Shelling hard boiled eggs?

Last Meal
8 or 9 yrs ago someone posted what he would eat if it was his last meal. It's extremely detailed. He referenced the last meals of death row inmates in Texas.
Is their any way to retrieve that thread? Thanks. Can the Chowhound team find it?
Getting Flagged at a Bar
The question is whether a bt can flag you based solely on how much you drink and not how you act. Doing it based mainly on the number of drinks has far more legal complications. By imposing that rule, they assume the responsiblity of keeping track of how much EACH patron drinks. You need to be consistant with your policy or the courts count it as no policy at all. They absolutely do not count drinks. They do not have a drink maximim. That same bt on a busy night has no prob cranking out those martini. I've had more to drink both at the bar and at table with friends many times. They could not count if they wanted too. And yes I own my own business, enjoy a few pops, go back to work and finish paperwork. If a group of five come in with a coke drinking designated driver, I know of no place that would flag them if they are perfectly behaved. I should have been treated the same way. I had three or more martini in more bars and rest then I could count. I've never had a prob
Getting Flagged at a Bar
The incident happened at 6 pm. It was happy hour and I had a meal served by the bartender. The bar was mostly empty. I just can't imagine how sitting peacefully set me up to be flagged? Staring up in the sky for two hrs is a problem. Driving is not an issue, I wasn't and I could walk home from the rest.. The bartender could of asked if she was concerned. After that, I believe I should have been judged by my behavior. I'm pretty sure my behavior had nothing to do with this. I'm a big guy and moderate drinker. Three martini's is a breeze. My wife drove me back to work afterward. I assume the bartender figured she'd be wasted and therefore so must I.
Getting Flagged at a Bar
No. I'm not from MADD or any other anti-drinking group. In an unrelated way, someone sent me the vid and I thought it was perfect to share.
I really thought more people would have taken the position "this is america, where is the day a responsible person can't go into a bar and get pissed if they wish." As the thread progressed it turned into a drinking driving / alcohol legal liability topic. I think someone called the bartender "god"?

I am OP. I beg you to watch this video:

I guess you have to cut and paste.
I'm overwhemed by the different number or posts. Please watch the vid.
Getting Flagged at a Bar
I sat by myself at the bar in a restarant reading a book and playing scrabble on my iphone. I had three martini's in about an hour and a half. I ordered my fourth and the bartender said "haven't you had enough?" Somewhat embrassed I then asked for a Coor's light. She said "that really isn't much better." So I paid and left.
Now keep in mind, I was alone and had not moved (except for the bathroom) and did not utter a single word to anyone the enitre time I was there. So my behavior was not the issue. The bartender just thought that three was enough. They do not a drink limit policy.
BTW, my wife was picking me up which of course the bartender did not know.
Should she have minded her own business?
Han Dynasty
i have eaten there several times for lunch and enjoy the food. last week Han was our waiter for the first time. what an unpleasant man. we told him that we were somewhat familiar with the
cuisine and had eaten there before. i asked him what he recommend, he answered "what do you want?( I hate that) I would like to try something something different , maybe one of your favorite?. Answer, "everything is good". I inquired" heard the whole fish was great"? "I only have a big one, costs thirty dollars".
