I made a sales call to a national chain (steakhouse) restaurant, they must list calories by law.....
1) 4 course meal of lobster/crab cakes + cup clam chowder + mozzerella salad + big steak w/ veggie side's = 1900 calories
or
2) side of shoestring fries = 1870 calories
I had fries for lunch elsewhere, scary

THE critics have weighed in from every conceivable angle, and the results seem to be unanimous. The 2008 vintage for Oregon pinot noir is superb.

Few people know the fascinating history of tea growing and making. This intriguing documentary aims to change that by following renowned tea importer David Lee Hoffman as he scours the far-flung corners of China to find the richest teas on earth. Tea making is an art and tradition that goes back generations in the East, and Hoffman makes it his goal to bring to the rest of the world the exquisite teas produced by struggling small farmers.

Bunk Sandwiches’ pork belly cubano just might change your life.

Not your average Cuban sandwich…
When is a classic something more than tradition and the personal poetry of taste memory? When it’s pushed to something greater—still recognizable but with a fresh stamp, a reworking that pushes texture in unexpected ways or adds a taste to record in the mouth’s hall of fame.
That’s the only way to describe the Pork Belly Cubano, a devilish spin on the Cuban workingman’s ham and cheese, at Bunk Sandwiches and Bunk Bar.
The sandwich got its 15-minutes of food-porn fame on the Food Channel’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” this past Sunday. Dimpled, bearded host Chris Cosentino boisterously called it “way, way better” than a regular Cubano. Even by hyped-up Food Channel standards, he’s not exaggerating.

Metrovino’s Seafood Chowder: True, I first encountered this sensational soup in 2009, but I return periodically to slurp of its goodness and fortify my ravaged soul. Fatty smoked bacon adrift in a sea of oysters, clams, tuna, and halibut for $5. Why aren’t you eating it now?
Miho Izakaya For sheer menu audacity, I have to give it up for the little Japanese pub on N Interstate. The ingredients are always cracking fresh, and the 25 or so small-plate offerings ($2-10) are not only uniformly tasty, but extremely interesting to boot. The slow-cooked pork, spicy noodles, and beguiling fish entrees will reel you in and turn you into a homing pigeon for this coop.
