You should absolutely do that. They welcome tributes to those who served. IMO the best place to be featured is by the bathroom. I've waited many minutes and sent many prayers to the families of the lost soldiers honored there.

John Besh's Angel Biscuits are divine... cold butter and the folding/rolling technique makes them flaky

Angel Biscuits

Serves 12


1 package active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup (2 sticks) butter

1.Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk and dissolved yeast and mix well. Using a pastry knife, cut the butter into the mixture.

2.Since this makes a light, fairly wet dough, sprinkle 1/2 cup of flour on the counter before you roll out the dough.Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Fold the two sides in, making a triple layer of dough. Cut the dough into 3-inch circles or squares. Place on a nonstick baking sheet, cover loosely, and refrigerate overnight.

3.The next morning, preheat the oven to 400°. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.

Got it as a wedding gift. Works great, esp the convection. I had the same issue paying $250 (or asking someone else to) for the Breville, but I'm sure it's awesome.

And this. Outside Mid City, but worth the extra few miles. They have Dim Sum and a regular Chinese menu.

Definitely go here, but make a reservation. We were staying there and didn't have one because we honetly didn't know we needed one (there were easily 12 tables available at 7pm), but the manager looked at us like we were out of line. They did seat us, but at a not great table. Make a reservation and get a table for 2 right on the edge of the beach.

service was horrendous

I've had the same problem about 50% of the time I go there. The sushi is definitely more authentic at SY and it's definitely really good, but I prefer the ambiance of Ichiban and I've liked everything I've had there.

wine bar downtown? Did it close?

Yep, it closed

I took my fiancé to one of their date night classes for his birthday. It was fun, we learned a lot, the food and instructors were great. If I could have one complaint it's that they only serve wine with dinner. So if you want to drink during the first 2 hours, you have to pay for it yourself. It just got a little pricey for me at $109 pp + extra costs.
