Thanks

I am going to be in Asheville, North Carolina in July to look for property with the wife. Could anyone recommend some good restos in the area...all cuisines open for consideration. thanks

I have a sack of King Arthur self rising flour the has an expiration date of November of 2008.Do you 'hounds think that I could use it today and expect that it would react as self rising flour should??????????????????? Thanks for any insight...I should know this!!

Store the garlic cloves on a jar of good olive oil....they will stay moist, and you will always have a wonderfully flavored oil to cook with...they keep for a long time this way...try it, you will love it!!!

Questions is, who cares, it is still cornmeal mush!!!!

it is ...if loft or condo living is what you desire....it is an urban, commercial area....that i happen to adore. The market area is within walking distance to the downtown central area....you are within a 15 minute stroll of the theatre district...and La Prima has the best expresso/capuccino anywhere

Go to Neptune Oyster in the North End...Jeff is the owner...sit at the bar, it is a small intimate place....have great oysters, seafood, great wine...Jeff will take care of you just fine

Do a search for "Al Roker's Chili"....I make it all the time...I think I first found it in Bon Appetit....is is a well balanced, slightly spicy and chunky chili....it does have beans....which I love for their flavor and texture...but purists sometimes turn up their noses...

Great choice...if you can't find a beer to your liking here, you never will!!

Six Penn in the theatre District...10 minute walk from you...upscale and pretty nice concept from the Eatn Park people.....You have a Capital Grille...upscale steakhouse...very nice, big portions...expensive. In the Westin(The hotel attached to the convention center)you will find the Fish Market...great fresh fish...and other stuff too...not bad for a hotel restaurant. If you walk 10-15 min, or drive 2 minutes to the Strip District...Nine is a good upscale place

I have actually made ice cream fro m guinness...it has been several years...and it was not cooked...but maybe because the beer is not carbonated with CO2, but with nitrogen, makes a difference

Like your suggestions of both Cafe-Pierre and Petros. Admiral Risty is stuck somewhere in time warp about 35 years ago....the food literally has not changed(or the method of preperation)in that long....great view, but food totally average and over-priced

my GE Advantium oven...it cooks as a microwave, and as an oven...but quicker and hotter...I can bake two potatoes in 12-15 minutes

Fatheads has a lot of beer that you can't fine any where else on the East Coast...but the food is really not very good...Tessaro's is a really great burger....Atria's in Dormont is the best in town....Pamelas is a great breakfast..lots of pretty good food with lots of "hurry up and eat and get out" attitude....La Prima is the best coffee....bar none....my wife is not Pittsburghs'burgher....but she will go from west to east if she knows she will get her time at La Prima...and finally...great biscotti at Enrico Biscotti....and one last thing...just walk thru both wholley seafood and Parma Sausage

Also go to Parma Sausage...the absolute best for proscuitto, sausage, and all stuff Italian!!! Ask for Darin

Sorry, had a meal at Sonoma Grill and it was horrid....the waiter forget almot half of our meal....and just wrote it off to in-competent kitchen staff...the biggest cop-out for all waiters...and never offered to comp anything!!!

I agree with your choice of La Prima...it is on the corner of Penn and 21st...Sam is the owner and my wife...who is not from Pitt loves this place above all others for coffee....it is the absolute best!!!At Enrico's..ask for Larry Lagitutta...he is a great guy

You have got to be kidding me!!! you went to the French Laundry, paid all that money....and got to watch the service staff slurp down a meal!!! I have met Chef Tom and he is a pompus butt-head, but to allow that is just plain silly

I have used a recipe similar to this with good luck..but to add; NEVER use pureed tomatoed, always used whole peeled San Marzano's, and if you like, take the core out and pulse then in your blender...gives a smoother consistency, but a fresher taste. Pureed tomated have usually been cooked, and that is not good...you might as well use stewed tomatoes!!

I have been there three times, one of my choice and twice as a guest...Olive garden is much better than this dump..and I hate O.G. the staff is totslly dis-interested, the food is poor, and the prices are way too high.

I have never been to Hawaii before and am going to be on the Big Island for 4 days. I would love suggestions on local and fine dining establishments. Cost is not an issue, but sightseeing and finding great food in the process is essential

My girlfriend and I will be making a trip to the Big Apple in 2 weeks. Would love suggestions anywhere in Manhattan for Asian, Italian, or American dining. Nothing over 50-60 per person. (I know that is limiting!!) Any help would be appreciated.

I bought the same one's at Costco a few weeks back. They cooked up great using the same recipe I usually do for the bone-in ones.....they were great. Traditional thinking says that cooking on the bone is more flavorful...but I think that when you braise shortribs, you are using very flavorful ingredients in the braise...the thing you are looking for then, is to get the tenderness brought on by long slow cooking with liquid and steam

Both Uncle Bills and the kettle will require a long....long wait at 9:45 on a Saturday morning.....as will almost anything else in the beach communities.

LTD for my money...the annodized exterior looks good even as it ages...

What you need to do is take a room service sized bottle of ketchup and utilize it...the POS that owns the joint will not allow his food to touch the condiment...try it..I do it all the time...

Rick, as you probably already know...La prima has the best coffee I have ever had!! Their coffee is ordered by my whole staff here in L.A.(beans) and when I get to the 'burgh I go in the morning an in the late afternoon for an expresso or a latte!! It is the best

I agree with your choices, except for Six Penn....it is owned by Eatn Park and when they first opened the food was not too bad, but we were there at the end of August while dropping our son off at Duquesne, and food was nothing special at all

I completely agree with you, PittsburghGirl. I grew up in Pittsburgh and live in L.A. now. I go back to the 'burgh often(and will move back when$$ permits) for just the things you mention...food is much improved over the last few years, culturally, and most important to me the people are so friendly and welcoming.
