A Place to Wait
How about Le Pain Quotidien? Or do any of the hotels have a great lobby bar or tea?
Thanks for the suggestions!
A Place to Wait
Meeting the hubby in the city for dinner the night before an early morning flight. I'll be coming in by train mid to late afternoon and need a place to hang out an hour or so. I'd love to find a place where I can have coffee/tea/wine and a snack while reading that's easily walkable from Market East or Suburban Stations.
Thanks!
One Lunch
I'm planning my one day in the city before meeting my son and daughter-in-law. I'm looking for suggestions where to lunch. I haven't been to SF in a few years and have not kept up with the restaurant world. I'm considering returning to the Ferry Plaza, Cafe Claude, or Zuni Cafe. Or should I consider others?

Doylestown - Rehearsal Dinner
The MOG is interested in Bobby Simone's Has anyone been to a private event there?
Doylestown - Rehearsal Dinner
We would prefer to stay in town. We'll have many OOT guests who will be invited for cocktails later. I'm familiar with Slate Bleu and Knight House. Not a fan of Freight House (much money for mediocre food/service). Is anyone familiar with Paganini's for a private party? How about Villa Barolo? I know it's out of town, but it's near the hotel.
Doylestown - Rehearsal Dinner
What restaurants in Doylestown have private party facilities for a sit-down rehearsal dinner for up to 50?
Prep chicken for frying?
Thank you for all the suggestions. I will use the Keller recipe some time when I'm a bit more organized. The chicken's resting in my fridge. I'm going to use the recipe in the current F&W .
Prep chicken for frying?
I'm attempting to make fried chicken for the first time. I always prep my roast chicken ala Judy Rodgers/Zuni Cafe by rubbing salt & pepper into the chicken 2 days before I plan to use it. How should I prep my chicken pieces for frying? I have Thomas Keller's brine recipe, but I'm not organized enough to get the brine made and cooled in time to brine the meat overnight. Any simple brines/solutions I should use?
Thanks.
Gelato
I'm obsessed by the gelato I had, in all places, the Florence train station. It was mixed berry in a sweet cream or vanilla base with slabs of dark chocolate. Does anyone have a recipe I can play with until we get back to Italy?
Attention Greensboro Locavores!
We will be spending Easter with our lovely daughter in Greensboro, NC and will be cooking in one night. Where do I find the local chicken, ham, beef,etc? How about veggies and cheese. What will be in the farmer's markets? Which farmers markets can you recommend?
I can't wait to shop!
Tilly Mint's Tea Room (Souderton)
I totally agree. Tilly Mint's is a very special place.
searching for new (or old)BYOB in Bucks County
Maize in Perkasie wonderful. Seasoned popcorn and cornmeal biscuits accompany every meal. Had the wild mushroom cannelloni last night - perfect for a cold evening. Chef/owner Matt McPhelan prepares everything to order, and he utilizes as many local ingredients as he can (meat, chicken, honey, produce, cheese). The space is intimate and inviting. Give it a try!
Lost recipe
Does anyone have the Greek yogurt panna cotta with poached pears recipe from Bon Appetit, January 2010? I threw out the magazine before retrieving the recipe and it isn't available online.
Thanks!
Type 00 flour substitue?
My pasta recipe (for ravioli) calls fora bit of type 00 along with all-purpose. Can I substitute pastry flour since it's low gluten or just use straight all-purpose?
Thanksgiving in Corolla
Hubby and I are thinking of doing Thanksgiving in Corolla this year - juts the 2 of us. What restaurants are open for the holiday?
Roman-style Italian
After a wonderful few days in Rome, I'm wondering where can we find Roman-style cooking, including but not limited to the fantastic thin & crispy crusted pizzas.
Places to go in Greensboro?
My daughter took a job at UNC Greensboro, which means I have a new food territory to explore.
We like Mediterranean but will try anything. Where's the worth-the-bucks fine dining, the small bistro-type place, the best coffee, great breakfasts, local legend worth the hype?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Best Pretzels and Water Ice?
I have no suggestions, just a "Thanks" for prompting a childhood summer memory of the water ice truck going through the neighborhood (way up here in Perkasie) on warm nights and getting a grape ice and a soft pretzel. Classic combo.
Allergic reaction to boxed wines?
No, only dust, mold, antibiotics. I'm wondering if there is a reaction or a byproduct that sinks to the bottom of the box and is in a heavier concentration near the spigot. (Of course my absolute lack of chemistry knowledge was probably just put on great display!)
Allergic reaction to boxed wines?
I've noticed a distinct reaction - swelling and reddening of area around the eyes - when sipping boxed wines. Both are American producers, and I have not noticed the same reaction to bottles wines, American or otherwise. Is there an unlabeled additive I may not be aware of?
