Diet Coke - Desperately seeking Kosher for Passover in LA?
Western Kosher's new Pico location had them for .99, limit 3. Call to see if they still have in stock.

Tomato Pizza Pie Joint
There is no such thing as "greedy". It's a matter of costs, supply, and demand. Melrose/Fairfax rent is probably a lot higher than Beverly/Western rent.
Merguez sausages or sandwiches on the Westside?
Jeff's Sausages on Pico is quite good. I've also heard that Got Kosher also on Pico makes a good Merguez, but I haven't tried it.
Bravo Pizza - now Kosher!
Isn't the fact that the bread would be sold in a milchig restaurant enough of a sign? It's different than milchig bread sold in a supermarket selling all types of products.
Any upscale kosher in LA?

The Holocaust museum has some prepackaged kosher stuff in their cafeteria: http://www.ushmm.org/visit/cafe/
Passover egg traditions
We dip hard boiled (whole or cut in half usually) eggs into the salt water before shulchan oruch (the main meal). Family is from Poland.
Kosher Fried Chicken in Pico Robertson/LA
Chick n chow on Pico is the first one that comes to mind. They have a few tables or you could take out.
Montreal smoked meat or bagels
Montreal bagels are 1 of the 2 major types of bagel, the other being a NY style bagel.
Yeshiva Break In L A
Not sure about SF but on the way there is Mt. View and Palo Alto, which are about an hour south. Mt. View has The Kitchen Table which is very good nice restaurant. Palo Alto has Izzy's which is a bagel/pizza place. If you're interested, Palo Alto also has a supermarket called Molly Stones which carries a lot of kosher products and meats.
Yeshiva Break In L A
I second Jeff's. Nagila meat and dairy places are also popular.
Kosher vietnamese
There is definitely none in LA, and I doubt any in the world outside maybe Israel.
No more Kosher Hebrew National Hot Dogs at L.A. Costco food court
I thought Hebrew National was owned by ConAgra, while Sara Lee owned Sinai.
eating out on a cruise and other traif places
I think all the major lines offer the frozen meals, and most will try to accommodate you so that you can have some non-packaged food.
SAN FRANCISCO KOSHER MEAT RESTAURANT
Yea, The Kitchen Table is probably the best restaurant around, but it is a drive.
need restaurant in ventura/oxnard for anniversary
Tierra Sur at Herzog Wine Cellars is good.

Lower kosher chicken prices on the horizon?
Actually, I have noticed supermarket prices down the last few months with very good sales. Gallon of milk is under $2 in CA.
Anthony Bourdain vs Alice Waters
That's his job. He isn't traveling and eating just for pleasure. It is his current career.
Bizarre Foods Cancelled-Review of Zimmern's new show
I actually find Bourdain boring when he strays into his political commentary. He usually says nothing but vague cliches that seem to have meaning enhanced by camera angles that show him alone pondering the world.
LA Times anti local/slowfood/overpriced food piece

I really liked this piece, but I imagine it will irritate many fellow CHs.
Passing Through Barstow
There is a large outlet mall there, so there will be a choice of many chain places. I don't remember what they have.
Water- how is it in your city?
Los Angeles switched from Chlorine to Ozone. From the LA times: "The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is embarking on an $856-million conversion of its five treatment plants to use ozone instead of chlorine to purify drinking supplies. Two plants have already made the switch and the others will make the change by 2010. ""
I find the water here to be fine, and it was actually ranked highest by some blind taste test last year.
Toronto was the worst I've experienced. Had a metallic taste.
If you use canvas bags for groceries - what do you use for garbage bags?
It seems that everyone here uses plastic trash can bags for their non-recycalable garbage. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of canvas shopping bags, when you could be reusing paper inside of plastic shopping bags for household trash?
