Captian Slow Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I went there last night for dinner and there was a 30 minute wait. It was completely full on a Tuesday night. Buisness seems to be pretty good. I love all of binghamton's ultra sophisticated and internationally recognized culinary critics, which there are 9 pages of.

binghamtonian Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Try Amici. Went there last night with the family. We got a few appetizers, a number of different dishes ranging from gnocchi, sandwiches and pizza as well as dessert. Honestly, we enjoyed it immensely. Our waitress, Sarah, was on the ball and very nice. The food was very good and this comes from some old school Italians that came over on the boat. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. One criticism though, they really need a sign outside that says Amici. All they have are neon beer signs in the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Ask around in the schools, it's true. Huh? So some students are in the know? I wouldn't believe them as far as I could throw them. Nor would I believe some nasty gossip about "supposedly" undercooked meat. If anything, someone probably had the flu coming on anyway, and think they were poisoned. What a load of BS.

Food poisoning is always a curious case. Generally it goes like this. If you get sick (vomiting diarrhea etc) you automatically believe it is from the last thing you ate. Unfortunately nearly all food born bacteria that make you sick have incubation periods ranging in days before any symptoms develop. So if you actually get food poisoning, it would be caused by what you ate days before. Of course stomach viruses, like Noroviris the cruise ship virus, can be spread by food, or by person to person contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Burger Mondays had a great fried fish special last Friday...they also have a portabello mushroom burger. Ive had it...its really good. They also have a tuna burger, I have not tried yet. Answering to the post about people getting sick. That is a lie. Its one thing to post an opinion, another to post something you dont have any facts on. If you dont like it, dont go back. Not necessary to bash it. Alot of people like it. I'm dying to try that Ahi Burger with Wasabi Aioli!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people I've heard from that really had it wished they were dead. And what you'd get from rare ground beef would be in that category. That earlier post was a load of hogwash, and judging from some of the other bashing posts on this thread, someone clearly has an agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You puke like every 30-40 minutes, and FEEL like you're going to puke the entire time in between. Never got it from rare beef that I'm aware of, and I eat that a lot. Cheap seafood on the other hand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had food poisoning from any kind of beef that I'm aware of. As far as under cooked beef, that's a myth. As long as it's a quality cut and it's handled properly, you'll be okay. The difference in food safety is so negligible that it's not worth worrying about. I've had steaks cooked for less than a minute on each side. Oh, ever had beef tartar?

Guest Guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I thought the reasoning behind overcooking (IMO) burgers was to kill any possible e-coli. If there were an actual e-coli issue, these supposed "people who got sick" would've been in the ER --- WISHING THEY WERE DEAD. I make my burgers med-rare, and my filets rare. Never had a problem.

Yeah, I mean... it used to be a problem. Not so much anymore with modern food safety precautions, the USDA and FDA. I wouldn't eat rare beef in Mexico, on the other hand.

It's a State Law you have to cook it a certain temp. NOT rare either due to possible e-coli, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT rare either due to possible e-coli, etc. I beg to differ about the state law aspect. I've been to plenty of (mostly mid-to-higher-end) restaurants that would cook stake however I wanted it. I've been to restaurants that served beef tartar--which is completely raw. I've heard this state law thing before, but no one has ever been able to show me this supposed law, and further no decent restaurant really complies with it anyway.

If you're trying to back up your previous post, just give me a link to the law. Otherwise, I'll just assume you don't get out much and believe everything "this guy who knows this other guy who knows this lawyer" tells you.

Interestingly, the steak was neither plastic nor wooden; it was a beef steak. That is, a steak composed of the meat of a bovine. Are you trying to be humorous? Because I see what you did there. And it's hilarious. Bravo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
