My favorite way to get healthy (and counteract the standing rib roast, hot buttered rum and gobs of Roquefort) is to use big, bright, bold flavors so I don't feel like I'm missing anything. The dish that really exemplifies this is my Spicy Seared Tofu Tossed with Sweet Crunchy Greens & Baked Won Tons Recipe - http://www.chow.com/recipes/29290-spicy-seared-tofu-tossed-with-sweet-crunchy-greens-and-baked-won-tons

Thanks!

I'd definitely pick Ad Hoc. Check their website, as they always post that day's menu so you won't waste time checking the place out physically. We were at Bistro Jeanty on New Year's Eve, and I was sorely disappointed. While the onion soup was good, the cassoulet was very, very dry and bland.

For years, I've wondered about the hype regarding risotto. It's a regular feature on the menu for Fox's Hell's Kitchen, I see it offered in high-end restaurants and know that it's supposed to be some sort of heavenly rice-based dish that, when done correctly, transcends space and time.

I still don't get it.
