Thanks for the recommendation.

Their bread was definitely the low point. The only other thing - while I liked the calamari/slaw - there wasn't that much calamari going on, but their tomato special was hugely delicious.

Yikes! The wine went up AGAIN? It used to be $4 - which was amazing, then $5, still great. $6? Just ok. It's the same owners, lot of the same menu items. I think it's a fun place to go on drink special night because they're hopping and the food is fine. LulusMom, if you're ever looking for a place to go when the other places are closed, consider Acme. We were there last night and it was great.

Rumor has it that the owners had gone back to Afghanistan for a while and had left it in the hands of their daughter who turned it into a bar. When they returned and found what had happened, they were horrified and consequently, no alcohol. We like this place, too. I forgot exactly what it was, but we had an amazing appetizer there the first time we went. I'd have to look at the menu again.

Bread and Kabob also has Hookahs outside, so I'm sure they're open late. No alcohol, though.

The odd thing is that the descriptions and prices at GHF are not very small-platey, but the sizes of the plates are the same.

Thank you so much. Have never been to Saltwater Creek. Should check it out. We've had great food at bistro 217 and chive blossom in the past. Glad to hear they've still got game.

Their chili-cheeseburgers - legendary!

Thanks. Next time...they sound yummy.

What she said.

Intrigued by the peas, prosciutto and onions in mini tart shells. Do you have a recipe (or guideline) for that one handy? Thought about gougeres but the mini-souffles seemed too similar (eggs/gruyere). Next time though.

Love the sausage idea. Easy!

I'm now regretting not buying that big container of macadamia nuts at Costco the other day...

I was thinking of melon balls....have you ever macerated them in vodka and a touch simple syrup?

Interesting. How do you make these? Do you hollow them out and fill it with small chopped bits?

Wow. So many amazing ideas. Thank you. Better than I had expected, especially since several of the ideas are easy and I tend to follow the plan: make a couple of things and buy the rest. Would like to a have a recipe for some of the others.

Thanks. Perfect. I love hole in the wall places. Sugar cake sounds good - not so sure about the sparkling scuppernog... : )

Thanks. I'll have to try some of these out.

Guglhupf has them in the bakery.

I think another problem with the Fish Shack was the feng shui/vibe along with the fact that it didn't offer immediate gratification the same way the Qshack does. The way they remodeled that place after Rockwood was weird. I walked in one day and turned right around and walked back out. If they serve alcohol they'll have that over the other taquerias.

Just got back on Friday and brought almost nothing back with us except the rest of the butter that was in the fridge. Most delicious butter ever. Luckily, it was a big chunk.

Loved the crunchy onions. But I thought the sweet congeal-y mustard was kind of icky.

omg - the hot dogs in Reykjavik with crunchy onions! The best. If only they had good mustard.
