What's the worst (nice) restaurant you have been to?

Frank's (steakhouse in Chelsea). They committed steak crime with my "medium-rare" read hockey-puck steak. Awful service too.

Best milkshakes in NYC?

Anyone know what happened to the Bespeckled Trout? (I heard about it on the boards for GREAT malts and shakes, but it seems to have disappeared.) =(

Best Dim Sum for Cheap in the City

Where can I get the best dim sum in the city for cheap? I'm new to the city in the West Village right now. Thanks!

La Petite Amelia In Evanston?

The Stained Glass and Chef's Station are both wonderful. I had one of my best meals ever with the Chef's Menu at Chef's Station (a 6-course meal of chef's choices with wine pairings each course).

Indian food in northern suburbs

I like Mt. Everest, but go a little farther to the NW burbs (Wheeling area) for India House.

Most edible canned/packaged soup?

I second the vote for Italian Style Wedding.

Favorite Beer in America?

Washington Island's Wheat Ale!

Remember me? The sun-dried tomato ...

Yeah, that's makes me really nervous YumYumYogi.

But chilies with chocolate should never out of style! A bit of chili really brings out the flavor of dark chocolate.

Wasabi itself is definitely a fad! Williams-Sonoma even has Wasabi-Green Tea scented dish soap now. The stuff that they serve in most restaurants is not even real Wasabi, it's a similar horseradish dyed green. You can sometimes get fresh wasabi if you ask for it!
