In the market for a new set of everyday, quality non-stick pans. 8", 10" and 12" pans. Thanks in advance....

re: Jane’s French Cuisine Lafayette

Ate there last night. Here are my thoughts: Incredible ambiance. You’re eating in a small French cottage. Has a VERY limited menu. 4 appetizers (caviar, fois gras, Pasta, salad) and 3 entrees (chicken, pork, fish) And about 5 wines options. No bar. Food was prepared quite well and tasted good;...

Garwoods is right on the Lake. Sunnyside, River Ranch All in North Lake Tahoe...
Thanks, I'll be trying Poseidon and Zorbas very soon....
I am new to Lafayette and craving some good mediterranean food. What are the names of the best places in the City to get all of the usual suspects: schwarmma, hummus, grape leaves, gyro, etc? Thanks...
We just moved to the area from Houston recently and its awesome. Its our go-to in Lafayette, now. The place knows what it is and doesn't try to be something that it is not. Street tacos are so damn good. ...

Jerry Stovall is being criminally disrespected in this thread. 1962 Heisman Runner-up, should have won it. Would have been 2 Heismans for LSU in 4 years....
Not my experience at all. Maybe in Northern VA in the DC Suburbs that is the case, but I spend a great deal of time in Richmond and Tidewater and they all embrace their "Southern" stature. ...
Yeah, great podcast. I was surprised by the gap in years since Damn had worked with Weinstein. I assumed by the level of shite that Damon received, that they worked together often but it appears not since the late 90s/early 2000s had he done a film for Weinstein....
Admittedly I have never been to French Laundry so I dont know what kind of magic happens in there, but I loved a couple of spots in Yountville. Bistro Jeanty and Bouchon, both in Yountville were really really good. Also, I hear a really high-end place is the dining table at the Culinary Institute...

I wasn’t impressed with Masonary in Yountville. I found that they were more focused on decor and art than wine. Cool place though. Try Jessup across the street. Great Cab. ...
I don't post often, but I felt compelled to join in. About 2008, I dined on a tasting menu at Citronelle in Washington DC. It has since closed in 2012 due to a flood and Chef Michel Richard passed in 2016. But this dish was unreal. It came in a caviar tin and when you opened the lid, it looke...

For seafood, visit Fiola Mare in Georgetown at Washington Harbor. The recommendation of Tosca is spot on, amazing Italian. Also on U street, check our Pearl Dive, a cool, laid back but quality place to grab a bite....

Another name for OC - Mike Stanford

Posted by brbandit on 11/29/15 at 8:55 pm
33 year old OC at Notre Dame. He has a strong coaching pedigree as does his father. Worth a look. http://espn.go.com/ncf/story/_/id/13630869/meet-quarterback-whisperer-notre-dame-deshone-kizer ...
