Edmonton-Best Schnitzel?
And I had the schnitzel at the reincarnated Bistro Praha.it was very good. I have a tried a number of schnitzels recommended here since my original query. Thanks all . I might add that Continental Treat on Whyte Avenue has a very good schnitzel.
Best wines around town? Favorite Canadian wines?
Costco, Opimian and the occasional Superstore bargain are my choices. Costco sometimes carries the CDN wines Occulus and Osoyoos Larose. I usually avoid CDN wines but was pleasantly surprised by the BC wine Stag's Hollow Heritage Block 1 (Cabernet - Merlot) blend. Maybe Highlander or Willow Park for this one.
Edmonton: What to Order at Langano Skies and Sofra
At Sofra - the freshly made pita appetizer with three dips and for main entrees of rack of lamb or adana kebap are my favorites. Efes Pilsner beer.
Saveur top 100 - Caputo 00 flour
Thanks-all. I was able to purchase Caputo 00 flour at the Italian Centre. .
Saveur top 100 - Caputo 00 flour
Was looking at the new Saveur Top 100 and it mentioned a Neopolitian pizza recipe that had 00 flour. Is this 00 flour available in Edmonton?
Saveur Number 1 was Kielbasa - I'll take the Mundare!
Edmonton - German Food Shopping
Try K&K foodliner on Whyte Avenue (82) and around 100st.
Planning my first trip to SFO in August 2010.
Pretty decent taco truck near Best Buy on Harrison and 12th not far from the Costco. For a seafood lunch - Tadich Grill or Sam's Grill. Tadich has pretty good CIOPPINO but I like the one I had at Fog City Diner better. For North Beach Italian Food - L'Osteria Forno has pretty good pizza. Chinatown - the salt and pepper chicken wings at Capital restaurant on Clay Street are superb. Out the door in the Ferry Terminal is great for a quick snack.. But the kicker would be great schnitzel in a beer hall- like atmosphere at Suppenkuche in Hayes.

Where to find 'Sour Salt'?
Last time I bought sour salt was at the Mundare Sausage House in Edmonton.
Middle Eastern Desserts in Manhattan?
Güllüoğlu on 2nd avenue - the sour cherry baklava is supreme followed by the cream baklava. Went to Güllüoğlu in Karakoy in Istanbul in 2001 brought some to Athens with rave reviews.
Wine at Binny's: what do you like at $10-15
Last Sunday I went to the location of Binny's on Grand. Some deals - some of the 2005 Bordeaux was well priced , others less so but the Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Grown at $50 is a great deal . Many of the Californians - Burgess, Cakebread, Steltzner, Stags Leap Winery and Wine Cellars were cheaper than in California. I found the Dominick (Safeway) and Jewel prices downtown considerably higher.
wines for an 'Unheardof' tasting
I had a Californian Albarino at Frontera Grill in Chicago a couple of days ago - I quite enjoyed it with the fresh Fanny Bay oysters.
El Salvadoran Restaurant in Edmonton?
El Rancho on 118 ave would make her feel at home.

Sofra Edmonton - alcohol?
Rack of lamb was pretty good when available. Adana kepab top notch as well. The appetizer of fresh pita bread with various dips (red pepper, humous, garlic yogurt) is a real treat. Ambiance is totally Pamuk ... Prairie metropolis meets Turkish confusion
Sofra Edmonton - alcohol?
They have a pretty good assortment of imported and domestic beer and wine. Last time I was there they had EFES pilsner from Turkey.
Chicken Ceasar Salad - Edmonton
Sort of partial toward Blue Plate Diner's chicken caesar salad. Don't know if they do take-out though.
A sourdough starter to share?...
Maybe phone the gift shop at Winchester house in San Jose. I was able to get Mister Baker's sourdough starter there which I found better than Goldrush.
turducken in Calgary or Edmonton
Had a turducken from Valbella meats in Canmore at Thanksgiving. Maybe Valbella can ship it to Sunterra in Edmonton.

Edmonton-Best Schnitzel?
Saddened by the loss of restaurants such as Gasthaus, Gasthaus Zur Muhle and Bistro Praha, looking for great schnitzel in Edmonton preferably wiener schnitzel. Suggestions appreciated.
two favorites to try
Just got back from San Francisco must say that two restaurants stood out. Suppenkache for schnitnzel and Capital for salt and pepper chicken wings and salt and pepper crab.. .
Turkish Coffee in Edmonton
I would try Istanbul Food Market 137 ave . Sometimes Cappadocia Exports carries the coffee.
anniversary wine to lay down
Aside from picking up the occasional 2005 Bordeaux bargains at the Sherwood Park Costco liquor store, Superstore discontinuations, and Opimian wine selections - maybe try Costco.com on-line (wines for CA etc.) and they will deliver to your folks place or go to the Costco in Palm Desert. In the Palm Springs/Cathedral City area --Ralph's (special section) seems to have a pretty good wine selection, Bristol Farms and possibly Costplus World Market would be my picks. Hope that helps.
Fresh Roasted Coffee Edmonton
I used to get Windjammers coffee at Buns and Roses. Quite good and they are in Sherwood Park
Best Restaurant for LAMB in Edmonton
I like the rack of lamb at Sofra's - a Turkish restaurant downtown.
