I work in Richmond Hill and am looking for "GOOD" fried chicken.... I have tried several places but I would like to hear from other Chowhounders for their opinion.

I have been tring to reach Artisanal Creamery in Glendale on the phone for several days now but no answer and no message... I drove do there last week and found that the place was closed but it was the day we had very heavy rain... Does anyone know if Artisanal Creamery in Glendale is still open...?

Been there it's OK.... nothing to write home about....

The reality is that I find Rockland a vast waste land of eateries. We have eaten at most of them all and would rather go to NNJ or our new favorite is X2O in Yonkers... I know BullyBoys has the same food.. we just like X2o better for atmosphere. I don't mind traveling for good food......

No its one big room... but we have had parties with 20 people in one of the corners and they are very accommodating. Always found their food to be good, fresh and authentic.

We love Fortune Gardens in Nanuet...

Did anyone try Union... ? We like that place...

Good chinese Fortune Gardens in Nanuet...

We always liked Bully Boys for Sunday Brunch http://www.xaviars.com/restx/brunch.html

Try

STOKROTKA POLISH DELICATESSEN
419-421 ROUTE 59, Monsey, NY. ...,

Its on the lower level....

Sorry, I seem to have hit a sensitive topic. Thanks for all the responses and I now know what to do... Japanesefoodlover I will follow your direction in HK and Cheeryvisage I will follow your direction in the rest of Asia. Thanks all for the information.

What is the tipping policy in China, Hong Kong and Tokyo????

We are looking for a seafood restaurant in midtown for this Saturday night 11/12. We will be 10 people and want to eat early ( 6 pm). We have tried Docks and Oyster Bar nothing available. Can anyone make a suggestion?

We went to an outstanding restaurant in Tel Aviv Mizlala. Read a small mention here and decided to try. Mizlala was wonderful. Everything we had was great we had the mussels, tartar and the chicken livers were divine.. Sit at the bar and maybe the bartender will buy you a shot just because he wants a shot.

This was the best food in Tel Aviv

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. We did make it to Ca Del Sole, we found the staff very accommodating but the food left something to be desired. We did find a really good place called Carnival, it was really good fooD and the owner chef was very accommodating... The cost of the food was too bad either. I'm sure most of you foodies know of this place for those that don't try it..... You won't Regret it....

We will be traveling all over Israel for about 15 days ....breakfasts and lunches are accounted for but please give me some good dinner ideas through out Israel!

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I will let you know what we do...

Are there any more choices since we will be in the area from Thursday thru Monday....

We will all have cars. We all enjoy great food .... any cuisine ... doesn't have to be fancy... just great food... prices should be moderate....

We are a large group in LA (Universal City) for a wedding. Are there any GOOD restarants in the area that can accomodate group or 20 or 30.

Thanks I will go there today....

I used to purchase fresh kimchi from the kimchi lady in the Asian market on College Point Blvd in Flushing. She is not there any more..... Does anyone know where I can purchase fresh kimchi.

Last time we ate at Elias' Corner the fish was overcooked. The waiters were rude and just threw the food at you. Most of all the wait was unbearable.... NEVER AGAIN.... Not worth my time.. Go north a little further to Ditmars to Trattoria L'incontro .... You can get whole fish and everything is fresh and delicious....

WE are looking for a foody type of place that is also BYOB. WE have a vast collection of wine and hating paying 2 3 or 4 times what we paid to purchase the wine... I am willing to pay a small corkage charge.... Please let me know if there are any good BYOB places....

Great report and very timely.. Since tonight is our last night in Paris... Thanks we are going to try one of your recommendations.

We had dinner last night at the Hidden Kitchen... it was a wonderful experience and would recommend to everyone.... not classic French but Brandon and Laura use the freshest produce available for each meal…. We had a wonderful time …

We are going to be in Beaune in early June. Can anyone recommend restaurants in town.

I started of with a 30 bottle cellar several years ago and now have well over 6000 bottles. I like to know that my investment of fine wines are being kept in the best conditions possible. I would suggest that you sit down with your interior designer and find a closet or an area in the garage that you can convert into a cellar. If you rack it properly an 8 x 8 area can store 1200 to 1500 bottles. All the suggestions made earlier are great, a recording thermometer and/or constant monitoring are needed. You need to get a wine room a/c unit to cool the room properly. Of course don't forget the humidity. If you look around the internet you can find site that will help you with the layout and design.

We will be in downtown SF for a few days after visiting the wine country. We have been there before and had GREAT food. Now we would like some recommendations from this board for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are not into fancy just great food...

Recently I tried Lombardi's Pizza at Spring St & Mott St. I had heard so many praises about this place.

The pizza sause and cheese tasted very good, but the crust was soggy and chewy and ruined the whole experience.

What did I miss.

This sounds so good does anyone have a recipe for Thai style BBQ Chicken.

Why are all the French futures going through the roof... Pay $700 for an 2005 Latour pay in now.. get the bottle in 2008 ... and drink it in 2020. What am I missing here?
