Must Eats in Doha?
Anyone traveling to Doha can look up Time Out Doha for local listings and reviews. PS. Don't go looking for "Qatari" food because the locals don't go out to eat their food; the best cooks are found at home. You can find good Arab (Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, etc.) and Persian food around town, as well as Western chains (both upmarket and fastfood can be found easily). http://www.timeoutdoha.com/restaurants
Vegetarians and dim sum?
There's a Kosher-Vegeterian Dim Sum place in Chinatown in New York, but the food was hideously awful. It dripped of grease and tasted like nothing.
Saudi Arabia cuisine
I really doubt you're going to find an authentic Saudi restaurant anywhere in the States, much less LA. I lived in the Gulf too and I miss the food. Your best bet might be to find a book that's a collection of recipes from Saudi and hope that your pizza thing is in there.
Do you use menupages.com?
Menupages can be a little annoying, because everyone gives gushing reviews to every restaurant (unless the waiter did something egregious.) That makes it hard to decide if the place is actually worth going to.
Baking books
What about the Fannie Farmer baking book? My friend's mom uses it and always makes fantastic desserts. I guess it is a little old school, but it works. You can probably find a really cheap paperback copy somewhere.
Craving fishballs, any online sellers?
I know you can buy frozen fishballs in places like Chinatown (NYC), but I live in Ohio. Anyone know where you can buy them online? The Filipino/Chinese style ones? No jokes about the name, grow up.
Saving & Emailing Recipes
Ditto on the saving. Maybe an option to share saved recipes with friends who also use chow?
Oberlin, OH
Is it just me or has Weia Teia's cooking gone downhill? The last few times I ate there the fish was either overdone or old (so old it gives off that gross fishy smell/taste even when cooked.)
Danish (= hot dog lover) in search of best hot dog
Oddly enough the best hot dog I've ever tried is Emborg's Spicy kind (they're Danish I believe.) If someone can tell me where to find them in the States, they'll be my hero.
