Shamrocks-St. Peters, MO

Has anyone tried the new Irish pub and restaurant in St. Peters? We were thinking of going there next week.

Pork loin in the fridge for a while... has a slight smell

I would not take a chance. It's not worth getting sick over.

Outdoor/Patio Dining with a view of the Mississippi River

What about Pere Marquette lodge? I think they serve outdoors but not sure.

Any memories of "poor people food" from your childhood that you still crave?

When I was a young girl, we couldn't afford meat often. My mom would make stuffed peppers but would stuff them with bread stuffing instead of hamburger mix. Not bad.

Bourdain [moved from Houston]

I personally think he's a good-looking guy. And he pushes the envelope to get just this kind of reaction.

Restaurants in Lake of the Ozarks near Camdenton

I am in a new relationship and will be moving with my partner to Camdenton. Any recs for a decent restaurant?

Recipezaar now Recipe Zazz?

I miss the Rezipezarr recipe forum and just came across Recipezazz. It sure looks a lot the same. Is it back under a different name?

what are your thoughts on adam richman?

Hmmmm....what are we talking about here?

what are your thoughts on adam richman?

He's cute and sweet but I hate his show. Surely his talents could be used elsewhere.

Good sushi in St. Charles?

Any place in St. Charles to get good sushi? Doesn't seem to be a sushi kind of town.

Italian markets in St. Charles?

You guys never let me down. One more question, Are there any Italian markets in St. Charles?

Buying stewing hen in St. Charles, MO

Wow, Benne's it is, thanks!

Buying stewing hen in St. Charles, MO

Is there any place in St. Charles to buy a stewing hen? It's the only way to make chicken and dumplings. Can't find them anywhere.

Eating local - squirrel

When my husband and I lived in the country we both hunted squirrels, though he would clean them. They are delicious! I would fry them up with onions and mushrooms and a wine, buttermilk gravy. Delicious with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans.

Poll -- What foods/food items do you prefer commercially made?

Ditto on the pumpkin pie and hot and sour soup. Have had many soup recipes and they don't quite hit the mark. I find canned pumpkin superior to making from fresh.

Simple food which you love

Bacon and tomato sandwiches with mayo.

Bourdain eating illegal Beluga caviar on TV?

I don't think he is nearly as arrogant as he used to be. I like him.

English beans on toast?

I like it with a little mayo and onion.

Man V. Food - I don't get it.....

If he would stop there, I would like it, too. He has a good personality.

Man V. Food - I don't get it.....

My sentiments exactly. I think he's just a cute little pig.

STL - fried Calf Brain sandwich - does any, preferably tavern type, place still serve it?

Amen, brother!

Have you ever played a food trick on someone?

My husband and I used to take Thanksgiving dinner out to my parents to cook there. My husband shot a quail. He hid the turkey and put the quail in the roasting pan. He told my dad, "Look at the size of the turkey I got this year, He took off the lid anf there was this tiny little bird. Funny!

Bourdain vs. Deen

What concerns me about Bourdain's lifestyle is that his father died of a massive heart attack at age 57.

What do you do with iron skillets?

For years I treated mine like Dresden china, no soap well seasoned etc. Now that I'm old and lazy I just throw them in the dishwasher. Does this make me a bad person? Will I be drummed off the boards?

Tipping before or after added tax?

When we go to a restaurant, I always tip on the whole amount. My friend says you should tip only for the food, not the tax. Which is correct?

Pork Chops-Bone-In or Boneless?

Boneless pork chops are more expensive but I much prefer the bone-in. The meat close to the bone is so flavorful plus I like to gnaw on the bone to get the goodies off them. Any preferences?

Tony Bourdain visits the Ozarks

I disagree. I don't see a pot belly. Looks fine to me.

Tony Bourdain goes to Haiti

Just caught most of the show this morning. It's a show you have to watch more than once to absorb it all.

White House Super Bowl Menu

Oh, good grief! They don't pretend to be royalty, and it's one freakin' meal.!

turkey frame soup

That sounds interesting and different!
