Guest Guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 He wasn't made to look like an ass. That poster just made himself look like a cheap huckleberry, that he thinks there's equivalence between eating a nice meal at a nice restaurant ($100 for two) and eating fast food ($15 for two). Yeah - one is food and the other is food. Two completely different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Agreed. Which raises the question: what should be next? Thai has struggled, which is a shame. I would frequent a place of similar quality to Taste of Thai in Ithaca. A Tapas bar with a decent wine selection would be a successful option downtown, as well, as diners get a good degree of control over how much they spend and it can be flexible for a quick bite or a full meal. My favorites seem to usually be along the lines that the chef finds local ingredients, things that may be in season (winter is very hard) and finds things that look fresh. It might be fish, poultry, beef, etc. and builds a menu around that, usually just for a day/week and combines that we a few standard menu items. Granted it's hit or miss, you might not like what's being offered on any given day, but when you get a hit it tends to be very good. I haven't found something like that here. Yes, many have their blackboard specials, but the focus isn't on the daily 'this looks good today' with some creativity. Maybe it exists and I just don't know it. A few interesting things have popped up. The Korean thing was nice once/twice. PS tends to have some surprises, but it just doesn't hit a chord.

Guest $$$ Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Beethoven and Weird Al are both musicians. Good point. Shop where you want for what you need. Walmarts, Kmarts, to Macy's, Bloomingdale's, etc. Just like with restaurants. You want to spend $$$, you decide the atmosphere. We like the unusual specials also. Especially when they are a hit and are put on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest "McD's" Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the first person to get fired from Burger Monday's. I guest they couldn't make that big leap up from McD's. Excuse me, my cousin with Down Syndrome works at McDonald's, and is very proud of it. Please don't make fun of people working at "McD's" as you put it. At least some people are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Lost Dog has two CIA trained chefs that do 2-3 specials daily with local beef, poultry & vegetables. Very creative and healthy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they'd bring back that apple galette dessert with the whole hot apple inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 It's a Wal-Mart. They're all the same. Mmmmm -- I stopped in there just recently for the first time and I felt it was to "warehousey" like a Sams Club. Just didn't make me want to get my $$ out of my pocket like the Vestal one does.

That's a fact Jack! Ok, the last few times I didn't get a hit on the special board and the last time they were apparently out of the specials. I can't give up now!!!! Need to keep trying I guess :-) Are there any other places that focus on local ingredients with chefs that are creative? Maybe I need a new thread.

Bad part of town Chefs I do not think so,in title only> Dishes right off the food network. No Parking. Filthy/dirty check BC Health Dept Inspections. To crowed. No consistency in food or service. Also it is restaurant. Was great is not any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
