New Lay's sunflower oil potato chips

I agree that I can't taste much of a difference in sunflower vs. original. And I don't think there's much to the "recipe" - it's literally potatoes, oil and salt, just a different kind of oil. Agree with lvecch - taste change is minimal (if at all) and it's a good change if it's no sat fat.

The Orchard, Mas (Farmhouse), August, Salt, Applewood - which one?

August is so warm and inviting but can be crowded and a bit loud. Applewood is the same but quieter. I've only eaten at the bar at Mas but it was tremedous.

The onion tart at August is sublime. I have heard that the garden is pretty great at August as well (I've only been in winter months). Good luck!

BYOB in Brooklyn?

Good to know! thanks for the response.

Tempo Presto on 7th Ave. (Park Slope)

I just moved to the Slope and I'm really curious about this place. What is it? Just Italian? Is it casual? I read reviews in NY mag and citysearch but still don't have a great feel for it. Guess I will give it the old college try but just wondering others thoughts.

Can I find Rotel in New York?

I haven't been able to find it. I've used the plain ol' chilies that come in a can and it was nowhere near as good.

mingt, I like your queso version! will def give that a try.

You can also order Ro-tel here - http://www.texmex.net/Order/Order.htm

BYOB in Brooklyn?

I know Olive Vine locations in Park Slope. Anywhere else? With or without corkage fees?
