At the Girl and the Goat, for example, what Stephanie Izzard does with bread is well worth paying the $3-4, and she offers several choices.

I can't stand trendy restaurants, or their even crazier and expensive cousins. I've been to a few, and everytime the expensive dish is served, I think, that's it?<br /><br />That said, the food tends to be tasty there. But everything about the experience makes me want to run home and cook for myself.scottmprizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005945296255906630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-27743395805490614862013-11-05T12:12:15.599-06:002013-11-05T12:12:15.599-06:00They don't have scales.They don't have scales.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978194163495589398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-92035683696563988112013-11-05T11:23:19.989-06:002013-11-05T11:23:19.989-06:00Catfish is trayf?

When I look at a menu posted outside and see too many descriptive adjectives, it's usually a sign for me to keep walking. Depending on the occasion and the company, I guess it's a fun thing to experience once in a while, but also good to know one can resist the lure. Trying out a new, exciting place is one thing; paying through the nose for the privilege of deciphering their menu is another.SandyKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-66384611115840800222013-11-05T10:01:03.279-06:002013-11-05T10:01:03.279-06:00Catfish, Neil?

I would have laughed myself sick while eating a BLT!<br />But I grew up eating shrimp all the time & still do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978194163495589398noreply@blogger.com
