Please post your Chicago Chow Top 10 Lists!
- m
- mike Feb 13, 2004 01:54 PM
I think it would be great, if someone of the most active Chowhound's in Chicago, would post their "Top 10 must-visit chow destinations in Chicago" for purposes of educating us newbies. This would be similar to how on Amazon.com, you can find lists submitted by a user of books or products related to a single subject they are interested in. In this case, the subject is Chicago chow!
I don't want to start a big discussion of what should qualify to be on everyone's list. If it qualifies for discussion as chow on this board, it qualifies for your list. It is personal to you as far as your own choices. I just want to see a condensed version of some of the most often talked about places on this board.
Put it this way: Name for me the 10 places you would take me if you were to show me what you consider to be your very favorite chow places in Chicago. You are my shepherd and I am your grasshopper. Assume I am open to try anything you want to show me. It is your most perfect list of places. Maybe the 10 places you would personally go to if you found out you were leaving Chicago forever.
1. You WILL start a long discussion with a challenge like that, regardless of your not wanting to "start a long discussion."
2. CH operates on the quid pro quo (give something get something), sharing basis. Why don't you start the group off with your top ten and then invite responses such as "if I like these, what else would I like that I may not know about".
3. Search for the tip sheet/faq which some think belongs here and others don't
re: pdaane
I think "The ever more unofficial (not to mention non-controversial and much beloved) Chicago Visitor Tip Sheet and sort of FAQ, v. 1.1" is appropriate to this discussion. Please note that it was posted September 1, 2003, so a lot of information has been posted since. Nevertheless, it's a fine starting point.
The link is below.
re: GeorgeR
Gee, pdanne and George, you sure do know how to dump on a poster.
But I've got to say, I've lived in Chicago all my life and spent 18 years of it with a buisness account for lunches and dinners, and I wouldn't recomment most of the restaurants listed on the massive list. (for example, Gene & Georgetti's is antiquated and gross by today's standards).
Now, mind you, I don't have a full "top 10" to offer, but despite your wet blanket all over this post, I'll still offer these:
Rosebud on Taylor Street (the old "Little Italy") around UIC, The original. Fine Italian dining. A bit east toward the lake and just west of Morgan (1000 W.) is the greatest Italian Ice stand in Chicago (open only during the summer months).
Patio on the Kingery just north of 75th in the Western
'burbs (take I55) for BBQ.
I endorse the recommendation for Nuevo Leon on 18th street in the Pilsen area (west of Halsted).
And I would like to add a very non-traditional experience that you can enjoy on Sundays---the (relocated) Maxwell Street Market. Great outdoor experience with food (mostly Mexican) kiosks all along the route. Roosevelt road and Canal (I said it was relocated.) dawn to dusk all year 'round.
Even though Pizzeria Due and Uno pioneered the deep dish pizza, Giodannos is the best. Lots of locations all over the place and selected other cities, too.
The best hot dog is found at the Home Depot on North avenue just east of the Kennedy expressway.
One of the best Deli/breakfast joints is Manny's on Jefferson just south of Roosevelt road. Also terrific, is the Original Pancake house (Apple pancake serves 2) on Clark and Armitage.
Best burger place in Chicago is in the Bucktown area and I'm kicking myself for not remembering the name just now, but it's a courtyard behind an Iron gate and has a bar area, fireplace, lots of plants. (Somebody out there native to the area, please help me here.)
For summertime spectacular outdoor eating (the food is secondary here) try any of the cafes along the river in downtown area.
Oh, can't forget Joes Bebop on Navy Pier! great creole food and live jazz!
My personal list, others will differ:
(in no particular order, just 10 places I recommend to everyone frequently)
Yoshi's Cafe
Opart Thai House
Gina's Italian Ice (summer only)
North Pond
Lem's (though I haven't been in years, need to go back)
Silver Seafood (assuming recent reports of going downhill have been addressed)
24hr Korean restaurant (especially for late night dining, other Korean places better at earlier hours)
Naniwa/Bob San (same menu, same owners, best sushi at prices that are affordable, dishes I crave and go back for)
In months past I would have had Printer's Row on this list, probably instead of a seasonal place such as Gina's, but since it is now closed I'll add Gina's.
Other places that I would note as being very worthy of visiting:
Four Taste - everything is really good, everything is appetizers and each dish is $10. Not cheap, but not overly pricey either and very very good.
Peneng - Malaysian food which can be hard to get and is the best approximation of my real favorite cuisine, Indonesian.
I'm not an expert on Mexican, but would certainly point people towards the Maxwell St. Market on Sundays, towards this board for various other spots, and towards some of Chicago's upscale Mexican for a treat (though I'm not a fan of Salpicon having never had a great meal there, though in fairness it has been many years).
I would also note Bistrot Margot, Le Sardine (best deal in town on Tuesdays), and Topo Gigio as some of my favorities for French or Italian. Bricks would get a nod from me for good, cheap, convienant (for me at least) pizza. (note, I'm certain there are equally good if not better Italian places than Topo Gigio, however in over 8 years of eating there I have never had a bad meal, have always enjoyed it, and they have a few dishes I go back for time after time - the mark for me at least of a great restaurant).
I would note to people that there are also many interesting Thai places in Chicago - Thai Avenue, Spoon (if you can wrangle the "secret" menu - not always easy on the first attempt), Thai Aree, and others - worth looking over this list. For vietnamese I would suggest Argyle & Broadway for a wide selection, but also not Pasteur and Le Colonial as other, more upscale options and places where I have always had good meals (though it has been a long while since I was at Pasteur).
For Steaks, not something I go out for often, I would not Ruth Cris as being very good (yes it is a chain, but I've eaten very, very well there), Gene & Georgetti as full of Chicago character and capable of a great (if very expensive) meal if you get good service - helps to go with a local business leader or politician), and Mike Ditka's as a surprisingly great place - especially for Pork Chops. I would further suggest reading Chowhounds and exploring - Chicago has plenty of options for great Steaks.
Anyway, that's my list for the moment - I'm sure if you asked me again in a few weeks it would be different. But my top ten are mostly places that have stood the test of time (perhaps not Silver Seafood if current reports are true)
(and a place like River Kwai II and the Pakistani cab driver spots would get a mention as late night options)

re: G Wiv
Incidentally, I had about the same reaction to Shawarma King. A couple weeks ago, however, I finally had a chicken shawarma to rival my first from him. I also had a terrific beef shawarma, which gives credence to the dubious advice to keep trying something that you've never been truly happy with before. I know each batch of shawarma meat is going to be a bit different, and I don't know how you can tell a good one. And I don't know if he has made some modification to increase quality or maintain consistency. Or maybe it made that much difference eating it on premises. But damn, he was really on his game.
re: Aaron D
Definitely sounds like a place I have to try, though I somehow doubt it will rival my best Shawarma ever.
(which was from a hole in the wall - literally place in Acre in Israel - in the old city, it was a small shop seemingly blasted out of an old building overlooking a small square. Amazing sandwich, one of my all time best anywhere. But unlikely to be rivaled anytime soon.
In no particular order:
Hot Doug's
Johnnie's Italian Beef
The Snail (Hyde Park)
Nuevo Leon
Gino's East (for pizza)
Harold's Chicken Shack (53rd & Woodlawn)
Kaufman's (Skokie)
Noon O Kabab
Dat Donuts
Sushi Wabi
Wiener Circle
Mia Francesca
Walker Brothers
Ravinia BBQ
Boston Blackies
1). Chicago Diner- The most amazing vegetarian food anywhere! They give huge portions, comfort food with a veggie twist like "chicken" parm, "steak" n cheese, etc. I am always there and love everything on the menu. (try their yummy desserts and shakes too)
2). Orange- my favorite place for breakfast and brunch. Love their chai tea french toast, stuffed with ricotta and served in a bowl with apples and chai tea "soup."
3). Exchequer- Located in the loop, it feels like a neighborhood secret. Great bar food, deep dish pizza, ribs, etc. Could spend hours here.
4). Lou Malnati's-Best place for pizza. Great appetizers too, like their spinach bread. They have famous butter crusts as well as more healthy ones.
5). Wishbone-I love their huge space at the west loop spot. Great food accompanies the atmosphere. Come for breakfast or brunch especially. Corn cakes with sweet red pepper sauce are my favorite. Also like the wishbone massive omelet. Later in the day, they have the best sweet potatoes and chocolate pecan pie.
6). Spoon Thai-Pad thai is one of my favorite foods, and this place has my all time favorite.
7). Hot Chocolate-Awesome Bucktown restaurant for a dessert or nice dinner. They have nice weekend brunch too. I come in for one of their hot cocoas, maybe the yummy mac n' cheese too. Dessery is the real draw, with their rotating specialty and seasonal menu.
8). Coast Sushi-Just a stone's throw up the street from Hot Choc. My favorite sushi place. I come in with friends, enjoy the space, and feast on maki rolls. The best miso soup and tempura dishes as well.
9). Eleven City Diner-South loop jewish-style restaurant with a deli feel. Huge sprawling interior and great service!! Classic soda-fountain drinks like Purple haze, egg creams, and a plethora of milk shakes. Fantastic breakfasts, as well as lunches and dinners. Try the wisconsin cheese fries. Huge burger melts, matzoh balls, bagels behind the deli coutner, and slices of pie.
10). Kitsch'n-I prefer the newer River north locale. Bigger space, funkier atmosphere. My favorite things to get are the desserts later in the day, like the twinkie tiramisu or brownie batter. Also, I am a fan of their pot pies, spinach lasagna, and falafel pitas. In the morning, they have coconut french toast, phat jacks, green eggs n' ham, and other fun stuff.
In no particular order:
Sol de Mexico
Le Bouchon
Le Coloniel
Las Tablas
Sweets n Savories
West Town Tavern
Bistro Campagne
Hot Doug's
Jury's - for the burger
Opart Thai
Chicago Chop House
Los Nopales
Osteria Via Stato
Coco Pazzo
Greek Islands
Cafe Iberico
Bin 36
Okay, that's more than 10. Whatev...
What great information. I will be in Chicago for a few days early December. Have never been there before. May I put a twist on this question, where would you recommend a single, traveling woman eat along and feel comfortable AND what particular dish/food should I make sure I try while I am in the windy city? Outside of great beef, I am not sure what Chicago is known for.
re: sallyct
"Outside of great beef, I am not sure what Chicago is known for."
Greek food.
Mexican food
Italian food.
Polish food
We're getting there with Thai food.
I'd rate us just under NY for sushi.
Indian food
Without knowing where you are from, sallyct, that's a tough question to answer. If you were from Texas, I would not recommend you to try our 'cue. If you were from NY, I would not rec you to try our Italian or sushi. Normally, my standard recs for out of towners are higher end Mexican food (Frontera / Salpicon,) stuffed pizza (Giordanos,) and Indian food on Devon ave.
re: gordeaux
Thanks for all the recommendations. They have been really useful in my last few days in Chicago
I loved Hot Doug's for lunch today
i haven't been to many of the high-end gastronomic institutions like charlie trotter's and alinea, so please keep that in mind when reading my list.
all around favorite: yoshi's cafe / avec
sushi: katsu
non-sushi japanese: sakura (AH)
steak: rosebud steakhouse (near the drake hotel)
chinese: lao beijing / ed's potstickers
fine dining: cite
italian: osteria via stato
sea food: bob chinn's crab house
korean: cho sun ok
dessert: tru
pizza: lou malnati
ribs: texas roadhouse
traditional french: it used to be bistro 110, but it went downhill in the past two years. i'll put everest for now (reluctantly)
I love Top Ten lists! :)
My top ten favorite Chicago eating establishments, in no particular order:
Chicago Diner
Dharma Garden

Kate Perry thought she had the last laugh when she dived onto a giant red cake whilst performing at the MTV Mexico Latin American awards last night, but instead, as she made her exit from the stage she took a tumble and then, um, let's say struggled to make it back on to her feet. Though she's not the first and certainly wont be the last if recent events at the Spring Summer 09 shows and in particular Muccia Pradas sky-scraper heels that sent models flying in Milan, are anything to go by. So as we sit back and wait for the next victim to make that dreaded trip - sit back and enjoy!
Kate Perry takes a tumble!

New principal named for William Allen High School
Updated On: Sep 27 2013 07:49:33 AM CDT
A new man will be at the helm of William Allen High School starting Friday.
Luke Shafnisky has been named principal.
The decision was announced at Thursday night's school board meeting.
Shafnisky was a teacher for 10 years before becoming an assistant principal at Dieruff High School. He was most recently an assistant principal at Allen.
According to district officials, Shafnisky taught biology, anatomy and physiology at William Allen High School from 2001-2011 where he increased the number of students participating in advanced placement science courses and integrated a service-learning component into the advanced science curriculum.

November 28, 2014
(WIBW) - A man allegedly involved in a Thursday shooting in Louisiana that killed two law enforcement officers was wanted in Marshall County, Kansas.
Kyle Joekel had a warrant for several felony charges stemming from an August 21, 2011 vehicle chase that started in Marysville. Police were on the lookout for him because the Nebraska man had reportedly made earlier comments that he was going to Kansas to kill law enforcement.
The chase ended when police say Joekel crashed his car into a home in Oketo. A manhunt followed, with police putting out public warnings, but Joekel was not found.
Now, though, he is in custody following a shoot-out ambush in Saint John Baptist Parish in Louisiana. Two deputies were killed and another two more were wounded. Joekel also reportedly was injured during the shootout.
He also faced drug and conspiracy charges in Nebraska and had failed to show up for a hearing in that state.

The Perfect Soldier: Special Operations, Commandos, and the Future of Us Warfare by James F. Dunnigan
Dirty Little Secrets
Why Carriers Are So Damn Expensive
American nuclear aircraft carriers are expensive to operate. It's not just the food and other supplies for the 5,600 people on board, or all the spare parts and fuel for the aircraft. A major expense is the periodic upgrades and refurbishments. For example, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) will complete its mid-life refurbishment and refueling early next year. This RCOH (Refueling and Complex Overhaul) took over three years and cost $3.2 billion. The RCOH requires that the ship be partially dismantled so that the spent nuclear fuel can be replaced. This takes a little longer than your usual DPIA (Dry-docking Planned Incremental Availabilities) and usually costs a billion dollars or more. The Roosevelt RCOH was so expensive because the four screws (underwater propellers that move the ship) were replaced, as was much of the "island" (that tall structure on the side of the flight deck). There were upgrades to living quarters, electronics, and the usual replacement of worn out electrical and mechanical components. The ship is repainted inside and out and returning sailors feel like they are entering a new ship, not one that has already seen over two decades of hard use.

text: Support For Gun Bill Filibuster Grows To 14 by Debra Heine 8 Apr 2013 View Discussion Share This: Today, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, announced that a total of 13 senators had signed a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid threatening to oppose "any legislation that would infringe on the American people's constitutional right to bear arms." Fox News reported: Lee, along with Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, have led efforts to hold up the legislation, which could come up for debate as early as this week. They would do so by trying to require a 60-vote threshold, which could kill the legislation. Senators returned Monday from a two-week spring recess, and negotiators are hard at work trying to refine and prep a bill for consideration. While Lee, Paul, Cruz and others dug in on their objections, other moderates and conservatives have indicated a willingness to consider the package. Meanwhile, at today's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney accused the hold-outs of trying to "hide" behind the filibuster. But who's hiding behind who, here?: "Imagine what would they say to the families of the victims of Newtown about why a certain measure never came to a vote, because they filibustered. ... That would certainly be inappropriate." Carney suggested any lawmaker who applauded for Obama on the issue of gun violence victims "when the cameras were on" during the State of the Union address should "live up to that applause ... and not take the less courageous route by using procedural measures to block a vote." He added: "If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no. Don't block it. Don't hide behind a procedural action to prevent the vote." Parroting today's Obamacrat gun control talking points, Senator Reid said: "Many Senate Republicans seem afraid to even engage in this debate," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Monday on the Senate floor. "Shame on them." Yes, according to Jay Carney, and Dingy Harry, the less courageous and shameful route is facing down the entire Democrat media complex's emotion based gun control demagoguery and standing up for the 2nd Amendment. UPDATE: Later in the day, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he would join a group of Republicans threatening a filibuster, bringing the total to 14. "While nobody knows yet what Senator Reid's plan is for the gun bill, if he chooses to file cloture on the motion to proceed to the Reid Bill (S. 649), Senator McConnell will oppose cloture on proceeding to that bill," McConnell spokesman John Ashbrook said in a statement. McConnell joins a group of 13 senators who have already vowed to block any gun legislation.

I went with the RIBZ since it also gives you the IBZ and BZ as well. That way you have the 25, 50 and 100 meter zeroes if you want. You just reindex the elevation wheel about six clicks instead of the IBZ's four (if you have the removable carry handle). The info threads talk a lot about A1 and A2 so remember to use twice the clicks if you have A3/A4.
It's a lot of fun but I don't mess with it anymore since I went with an RDS and rarely shoot over 50 meters. I'm back to the good ol' 25 meter BZ.
One thing to keep in mind, what distances will you normally shoot... The 50 meter IBZ is great if you want +/- 2.5" from 0 to 220 meters.
The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together. You'll remember the quality of a gun long after you forget how much you paid for it.

Java's 'Steve Jobs' moment in 2012?
Its a sign
I think that fact that no-one cares enough to have posted a comment yet speaks to me as to where Java sits as a language.. or to the fact that no-one really reads news sites outside of working hours e.g. during lunch. I am going back to Java after a few years to code Android applications, other than that I really fail to see a reason to start a new project using this language which currently feels very "up in the air" to me
Dud Mars probe's explosion will spare Earth's cities
Spy satellite...? hahaha..
it's a failed mars probe I tell you... so sorry it landed on your pentagon thingy... we pressed the explode button in orbit I promise... the nuke? it was part of the power supply.. designed in Tehran...
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Manufacturer fail....
Device manufacturer's need to learn to depart s_xually with their proprietary cables. I think that reviewers are partly to blame as The Reg wailed at the thickness of the Transformer, but at least you can get a cable for the thing anywhere or borrow someone elses. If you forgot your iPod cable at an Android conference you're going to have to find some Apple detractor to borrow one from. The Apple guys are going to have a good laugh if you have a Samsung Tab and the roles are reversed.. " A WHAT cable!!!?"
Apple uncloaks top 10 tools of iOS 5
What's the point...
of a lock screen, since you can do just about everything from it. Isn't the point of a lock screen to prevent you from inadvertantly taking a photo for example in a place where they have expressly asked you not to. But mr security guard you can't take my iPhone away I will certainly die without it and it took the photo of your super secret installation accidentally. I would delete it but Apple certainly has a copy of it by now or its stored somewhere secret on the phone so it wouldn't help. BTW have they fixed the problem where the latest SMS is displayed for all at the boardroom table to see even though the screen is locked.
NASA restores Pluto to league of planets

Does this mean that Ceres is also a planet? It also has a moon and is more massive.
Talk about short term gain, long term credibility loss.

Airborne killer robot destroys Libyan anti-aircraft missile
Score: +1 for Armed forces : 0 civilians
Warfare for fighter pilots has just got a little more sterile. No stabby stabby blood on the hands stuff, getting your mates' brains on your jam sandwich (ala "Fly Away Peter"). Instead the civs get even more ordinance dropped on them: sorry the cross-hairs on my monitor obscured the cross on the hospital roof, everyone's green with night vision.
As the Catherine Tremell character in Basic Instinct said: "Somebody has to die, somebody always does" or something to that effect. If its not going to be soldiers its going to be civilians. So now both sides put their soldiers in concrete bunkers and shoot at civilians with their X-Boxes. All that changes are the cliche' excuses that are selected from the Big Black Book of Military Excuses for Generals and Politicians that's been around since before siege weapons were flinging diseased corpses at peasants
F1 chiefs ready post-prang battery safety scheme
Pretty fly for a brit guy....
I can't wait to see how well this flywheel works. Considering your flywheel will be spinning fastest as you enter a corner, as you will have charged it with energy from your wheels during the braking phase of cornering, the gyroscopic effects are going to make the handling of the car interesting at the best of times.
I especially can't wait to see what happens when the bearings seize. For the first time you will be able to see a car flip upside down while speeding down the main straight, or coming to stop in the pits only to start spinning like some crazy kids toy, scattering mechanics, tyres and fuel rigs....
Probably not; but the thought of it still makes me chuckle. .

Dell launches Inspiron 9 mini laptop
Lets face it....
Not much is going to run on this come the end of next year. 200pounds for an obsolete laptop seems a bit steep even if it is small, which is not always a good thing.
Always puzzles me why they don't put the processor behind the screen. Then you can put a decent processor in using the entire (wasted) area of the screen to dissipate thermal energy. Its also not going to be insulated from the air by someone's genitals, something laptop manufacturers have been accused of baking in the past.
Mine's the one with the asbestos apron...
Dangerous mobe chargers flood UK
Do yourself a favour...
and take a screwdriver to your CE marked stuff and observe for yourself the "quality engineering" inside.; but of course you can't open them without breaking the case can you? Makes you drink... doesn't it....?
This applies especially to the 12v ciggy lighter chargers. Neil hits the nail on the head.
The stuff you can pick up from a hawker is not really any lower quality than the stuff that comes with your mobile.
@Onionman: Abso-@#$%-lutely.
@Mage: How many mobile devices do you want to push half an amp charging current into? Aside from laptops, which due to their high energy consumption warrant their own charger/mains supply, I can't think of any pocket device that would require such a high current. You could always just use two USB ports off your USB hub (requiring its own proprietary CE marked mains supply, of course) thereby giving you 1A of charging current; 5W at USB voltages.
Hmmm toasty warm singing campfire songs while your mobile charges. Kumbaya O2....
Sony Ericsson Walkman W890i mobile phone
SE's Crappy Connectors
I used to have a K800i and will agree with those who say its still a marvellous phone. In fact the chap that sold me my HTC S710 refused to part with his.
But man those crappy flimsy poppy-outey, pathetic, bulbous connectors that SE keeps coming up with are ridiculous. What the hell is wrong with micro USB. With really minimal design effort a micro USB connector could be almost flush with the phone which is what you want when sliding the thing into your jeans pocket with the earphones plugged in. My wife's W880 is also a great phone with another amazingly stupid connector that you always have to try plugging in the wrong way before you plug it in the right way.
US scientists puncture the ethanol biofuel bubble
dot Corn Crash
So as US stops producing corn and India's sugar gets turned into fuel we will be paying more for our bitter Post Toasties and less for our fuel. Hmmm. This is good news but as The Common Man once said "The people who make the rules, don't row the boats."
Biofuels suck. Nuclear is clean. I'm for a small reactor in every house, car, office block and not a whiff of C2O2 anywhere. Just cause you can't see radiation doesn't make it any worse than C2O2 (Carbon monoxide -- also invisible) which will also cause your kids to have 3 eyes and 15 fingers and give you lung cancer. Radiation is also more easily detectable and to stop it (it also travels in a straight line) all you need is a bit of lead paint... oops
Skull and crossbones as there is no Toxic Waste icon.
Droid pilots beat humans at air-to-air refuelling
Do British people get cold shivers when they crack whopper?
>There was a photo a few weeks back of the RAF doing this same thing, taken from a/c flying alongside showing Tornado crew with hands in air
There is of course the possibility that the Tornado pilot was surrendering to the Air Conditioner flying along side him... I know I would.
Oh, haha... theres the cold shivers... haha, who would have guessed? ... now where's me coat... .
So now if they can just get the air conditioner to refuel in the air maybe someone will develop something to drive my car so I can read El Reg on my way to work.
Jason Bourne disses James Bond
As if...
Maybe Matt Damon should be comparing the whiny wuss he portrays as Jason Bourne to the mature Special Ops Assassin that was the Jason Bourne that Robert Ludlum portrays in the excellent trilogy he penned two decades ago.
I haven't seen an excellent trilogy so decimated by bad directing and acting since Daryl Hannah and co tortured Jean Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear a while back.
The only things that the movie and the books have in common are the titles. Even the characters are twisted to perversion. In the book Jason's girlfriend doesn't get killed off, instead she becomes a stabilising factor in his life and unlike the pathetic whiny creature played in the 1st movie is actually a really strong character that is forced to take care of herself and at the same time keep him from going crazy.
Of course when cast a Miss Prissy as your leading man you can't have a strong woman showing what a little boy he is.
Ahh shame his girlfriend got offed. "Can't look after his women, can he.... " Seems he has more in common with James Bond then he will admit.
Won't be rushing to see the third one.....
US wants trucks mounted with frikkin' laser beams
Western Casualties implying...?
> A significant proportion of Western casualties in this kind of fighting are caused by mortar or rocket attacks on otherwise-secure bases in .... ....Northern Ireland.
Bwahahaha.. now there's a subtle dig if ever I heard one.
...attacks from the dreaded Irish Republican chapter of Al Quaeda (IRAQ) perhaps?

The Wapakoneta Redskins varsity boys bowling team took over the top spot in the West Ohio High School Bowling Conference standings after winning on Saturday at its home alley at Astro Lanes.
Wapak pushed its record to 4-0 with a 3,021-2,318 win over the Lima Central Catholic Thunderbirds.
The Redskins are one of four unbeaten teams left in the WOHSBC, along with the Versailles Tigers, Coldwater Cavaliers and Ottawa-Glandorf Titans. But Wapak leads the way in total pins through the four matches.

Typically, a 60-percent shooting night would be cause for celebration.
But when your opponent shoots 67 percent and knocks down 14 three-pointers, well, that makes the climbing a little tough.
The Wapakoneta Redskins found out just how tough in a 70-55 loss to the Ada Bulldogs in a varsity boys basketball game Friday night at Wapakoneta High School.
Ada was playing in its first game of the season. But the Bulldogs didn't look like it, shooting 24-of-36 (67 percent) overall from the floor and 14-of-21 (67 percent) from three-point range.
NEW KNOXVILLE — For most of the first half the New Knoxville Rangers basketball team controlled the action against the Waynesfield-Goshen Tigers Friday night as they doubled the score on the Tigers 28-13 at halftime.
In the second half the Tigers caught fire and pulled within 10 at the end of the third. They closed the gap to two points a couple times in the fourth quarter, but the Rangers hit a few free throws down the stretch to defeat the Tigers 50-44 at the Barn in New Knoxville.
A trifecta of treys in a 73-second stretch in the fourth quarter gave the Wapakoneta Redskins the lead and staked them to 7-point advantage they never relinquished in a battle Thursday against the Kenton Wildcats in their Western Buckeye League opener.
Redskin junior guard Nicole Brown hit back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers to give Wapakoneta a 50-49 lead at the 5:09 mark in the fourth quarter in a see-saw affair and then put the dagger in Kenton's comeback hopes with a second trey at the 4:36 mark and a third with 3:56 left in the quarter putting the Redskins up 56-49.
WAYNESFIELD — Waynesfield-Goshen junior Kaylee Patton needed 16 points Thursday night to eclipse the 1,000 point mark in her varsity girls basketball career.
And she needed less than two quarters to do it.
Patton passed the mark with a reverse layup with 1:37 left in the half, then went on to score a team-high 24 points to lead the Tigers to a 56-40 win over the Perry Commodores in the Northwest Central Conference opener for both teams.
"It's amazing," Kaylee Patton said. "My teammates really help me out. They hit some outside shots and that let me get to the inside."
At first glance, the opening weekend of the Wapakoneta Redskins varsity boys basketball season looks a lot like the opening weekend a year ago — a win over a not-so-good Piqua team on Friday followed by a loss to a very good Fort Recovery squad on Saturday.
At first glance.
To anyone who was actually paying attention, however, this is not the same Redskins team.
With as many as four sophomores starting at times and with Alex Greve sidelined by an injury, the 2010-2011 Wapak team went on to lose 11 of its next 12 games.
The Wapakoneta Redskins bounced back from a disappointing start to the varsity wrestling season to post a 46-34 win over the Van Wert Cougars on Tuesday at Wapakoneta High School.
Wapak struggled in the Findlay Trojan Duals on Saturday. But the young Redskins squad showed resilience in the Western Buckeye League dual-meet opener.
"We improved a lot from Saturday," Redskins varsity coach Jason Rostorfer said. "It was the first time a lot of these freshmen got to wrestle varsity, so they were a little nervous and apprehensive. ...
WAYNESFIELD — One after another, the shots didn't fall.
In all, 36 of them missed the mark.
So it came as no surprise the Waynesfield-Goshen Tigers found themselves on the losing end when the final horn sounded.
The Tigers could not overcome their poor shooting as they fell to the McComb Panthers 57-51 in a varsity girls basketball game Monday night at Waynesfield-Goshen High School.
"Our girls are young and need to gain some more experience," W-G coach Ted Patton said. "We just aren't used to outside shooting."
FINDLAY — The Wapakoneta Redskins varsity wrestling opened its season with a tough showing at the Trojan Duals on Saturday at Findlay High School.
Wapak suffered losses to Bluffton and Eaton in pool competition before rebounding to notch wins over Napoleon and Shawnee in bracket competition.
Nate Valentine (138 pounds) posted a 4-0 record in the meet, including a pin in the win over Shawnee.
Junior John Martin had three wins, including a pair of pins, at 106 pounds.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy shot a 30 on the back nine Thursday at the Dubai World Championship to give him the edge over top-ranked Luke Donald for the European money title.
The 22-year-old Northern Irishman had six birdies on the back nine to finish at 6-under 66, two strokes behind leader Peter Hanson. Former British Open champion Paul Lawrie (65) was a shot behind the Swede in second.
Donald (72) had four birdies on the front nine but struggled on the back where he had three bogeys in a row. The 34-year-old Englishman finished in a tie for 26th.
McIlroy, who is second in the money standings, must win the tournament and hope Donald finishes outside the top nine.

Windows 7
Default Domain in "Windows Security" login dialog
When using IE8 and navigating to a site that requires authentication, a dialog is poped up requesting the username and password. On Windows versions prior to 7, this would not default the Domain to the name of the computer (assuming the computer is not part of an AD Domain), in fact there was no default domain name used as part of the username.
On Windows 7, the Domain defaults to the user's computer, if the username does not contain a domain specification ex not like: "MYDOMAIN\myusername". If you just type in "myusername", then the default domain is explicitly passed. If the site assumes that just the username will be passed, and infers the domain, the way Windows 7 always passes an explicit domain name (either typed as part of the username, or the default computer name) causes the login to not work. In my particular case, we're no quite sure what domain name the web site is expecting (since it expects just a username and infers the domain for us).
In Windows 7, when the "Windows Security" login dialog pops up, how do you tell it to just pass the username, excluding the default domain name?

Susur cooking at Madeline's this weekend?
I've heard that he'll be back cooking in Toronto for a special Chinese New Year dinner - can anyone confirm?
I checked the website and all they have is a $50 prix-fixe that isn't anything like what they usually serve at Madeline's.
straight from the website it implies that susur will be in town
Join Chef Susur Lee in celebrating The Year Of The Ox as he creates a $50 5 Course menu featuring his "Chinese Pot Au Feu" of organic braised beef, oysters & oyster mushrooms, along with a selection of dishes from New York. Join us at both Madeline's (416.603.2205) and Lee Restaurant (416.504.7867) for the week of January 26th - 31st, 2009. Please call to make reservations..
re: CoffeeAddict416
We haven't seen a review of the New York restaurant by Bruni in the Times, yet.
If I had to interpret CoffeeAddict416's post, I would read it as Susur was designing a menu that would be utilized during the week in his Toronto restaurants. If he were actually in Toronto, I would think they would have emphasized his presence more than through such a cleverly phrased/vague statement. The sentence could be interpreted as saying he just created the menu. That's just how I would read it.
re: BokChoi
I agree. I believe he's flying back this Friday but that doesn't coincide with the dates listed on the website. So my guess is he created the menu but won't be physically present to prepare it.
re: deelicious
He is around quite often. When I peer from my balcony, I can see where he parks. His car was around last weekend. Haven't seen him this week yet.
re: Derksen
The CH intelligence network!
Susur has said that he expects to spend his time in two cities, and family is here, so it makes sense that Madeline gets some special attention.
re: OnDaGo
as of tuesday i don't believe he was in the kitchen. a friend went for the cny menu and didn't notice him in the dining room. he usually seems to make his presence intimidatingly aware to everyone so i'd assume not.
re: pinstripeprincess
I haven't seen his car this week.
WRT to making his presence "intimidatingly" aware.... do you really find his presence intimidating? I've been a couple times (Susur and Madelines), and never found his presence intimidating. More just a 'peek out from the kitchen to look at the dining room'.
re: Derksen
perhaps my one experience was an anomaly.... but he stood with his feet shoulder width apart and firmly planted into the ground, arms crossed rigidly, and with an absolutely intense furrowed look on his face as he slowly scanned the room... in the middle of the main entrance way to the dining room. this was no peek, this was practically a showdown.
re: pinstripeprincess
I've been to susur when it was around twice and both times he did the cowboy-busting-into-the-saloon-with-arms-folded look. I don't find it intimidating at all! I actually thought it was quite nice that he'd actually come into the dining room. He came around to my table both times to check in as well.
re: CoffeeAddict416
Funny, I see it as a 'Samuri-peering-across-landscape-while-wind-blows-through-hair-standing-on-mountain-top-and-lifts-nose-to-detect-floral-scent-from-valley' type stance (Like his book cover). http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/image... He has done this when I've dined there. A signature stance perhaps??
re: pinstripeprincess
That's funny; that IS how he usually looks when he's been around while I have dined! But my husband and I had a chance to speak to him when he was making the rounds and he's actually very nice, polite and seemed to enjoy getting feedback from his customers! I always thought he patroled the dining room to make sure that his customers were happy with their food.
re: Chocolatemama
I agree. From my experience/knowledge, he does seem like a nice guy.
I've heard the polar opposite about how the kitchen is run (by his hired hand). http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/artic...
re: Derksen
Dominic, the head chef now at Madeline's and former sous chef of Susur, is the one that does most of the yelling.
Sign of a successful chef is the illusion he/she creates at the restaurant. That he is hands-on involved in every single item on your plate. I'm sure Susur has been in previously devising the menu w/ the team at Madeline's before the launch.
Although I understand why people like seeing him there. Adds to the intimacy of an evening for the paying punter. The consistency will be there if the restaurant has a high standard. I always like to say this , people like spotting Susur everywhere, apparently even knowing the make of his car ( gave me a good chuckle). He's the "Where's Waldo" for Toronto foodies.
re: Derksen
Probably Brenda.
re: OnDaGo
I was at Lee tonight and Susur came out in the dining room to talk to people. Looks like he is in town for the weekend.
re: jayt90
I've generally heard lukewarm reviews of Shang so far and if Manhattan Chowhounder reviews (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/578348) are any indication, Susur might not want Bruni's review until the kinks are ironed out.
we tried the cny menu last night, it was so-so/good but not great...their famous 19 item slaw was the winner, but the sashimi that came with the dish looked a little dry (doesn't have that nice glistening sheen to the fish), the pork was flavorful, but competed with the heavy butter taste of the potato rosti thing on the bottom...we each had a couple of drinks, shared a bottle of wine between 4 people and the bill came to $100/person.
re: pinstripeprincess
I asked our server and the CNY menu was different for Madeline's and Lee. She said the only thing that was the same for both restaurants was the 19 item slaw.
re: always_eating
We went to Madeline's last night and he was there. Came out into the dining room a few times, and even stopped by to ask us how everything was! I told him the gnocchi was fantastic, and he seemed so happy or relieved or something. I have to say, it was a pretty exciting experience.
re: always_eating
there was no 19 item slaw on the madeline's menu. as i said earlier, i didn't get anything that muito did.
re: pinstripeprincess
Sounds Madeline's was the right choice...I'd trade 'fantastic gnocchi' for 'dried out sashimi' any day. Apparently the 19 item slaw is Lee's signature dish (according to the servers), so you could try that dish any day...the good news is that the bad sashimi doesn't normally come with the 19 item slaw.
I'd be interested to know how was Madeline's CNY menu...all around goodness?
re: muito
It was decent. I didn't love the Chinese marinated chicken stuffed with pork, although it came with an interesting deep-fried ball of some kind, filled with a creamy leeky sauce. and there was also a piece of endive with a horseradish and nut sauce on it, which was delicious. the chicken/pork was kind of fatty which i can't stomach.
the second course was the "fantastic gnocchi". hand-rolled, made with spinach and ricotta, and served with fresh parmesan, pinenuts, shiitake mushrooms, and a very tasty sauce. usually it comes with veal cheeks, but i don't eat anything cow.
next was the salad. cucumber, avocado and tomato salad. beautifully presented, very yummy vinaigrette, a few tiny hot pepper slices to keep things interesting, and something crunchy and delicious on top.
next we had lobster bisque (!) because we couldn't eat the beef consommé which was the original offering. that damn bisque was fantastic. so flavourful. had huge chunks of lobster meat in it. yum.
i had a glass of the J. Lohr chardonnay (we visited this winery this summer and fell in love with their wines) and the wine was great. went perfectly with my food.
dessert was coconut creme brulée and it had a tiny little cookie on top of it. two light wafers with chocolate between them. i ate the cookie, my husband ate the creme brulée. i wasn't hungry enough at that point to eat my own dessert.
the food was good. the service was good. we had to sit at the dining bar as we hadn't made a reservation, so that kind of influenced our experience — we were right by the door, and the blonde bartender seemed to dislike us although i was doing my best to be smiley, charming, pleasant. the other woman behind the bar was lovely, though. i was hoping for a more special meal, to be honest. our bill came to $187 (my husband had a few glasses of wine). i enjoyed my food but i was expecting to be totally blown away after all the hoopla this place has received. i suppose i'd recommend it! i think i'd like to go back when they have the actual menu. i don't know if we'd have ordered many of the items that were on the CNY menu. it was pretty spectacular to meet Susur, though. That made the night for me. That and the gnocchi. And the bisque. And the wine.
re: Sarah Cat
Mixed reviews so far.. and I can see both sides of the story. This time around, the experience didn't blow me away like my prevous trips to Susur.. though it was my first ime to Madeline's since Susur's departure. Lunching at Auberge during the day (Winterlicious) might have influenced things a bit as well. LOL
I liked the first course - the Chicken Roulade.. the endive salad was fantastic.. and this course reminded me of the Susur of old more than any of the other courses... my dining companion did not like it as much...
2nd course: I thought the gnoochi was a fresh idea and liked the concept. The Braised Veal Cheeks were very tender.. but I didn't feel that it took in the flavor of the pot/black pepper sauce that well.
3rd course. The persimmon/cucumber/avocado salad worked surprising well for my tastebuds.. him taking ordinary Chinese Vinegar and treating it this way was quite nice... every component was essential.. my only thought was the form/presentation hindered the enjoyment of the meal.. It was nice to look at.. but I feel eating the salad mixed well instead of layered would have worked better to mix each mouthful with the intended flavors.
The beef consomme was easily the best dish of the night for me.. Simple yet sophisticated. I love the way he did the ginger sherry vinegar too.. much more pragmatic than ginger strands that you'd be familiar with at Chinese restaurants. This one was well worth the trip.
The dessert course was better than the desserts we had at Auberge. A good ending the meal. For me, dessert doesn't make the experience but it can break it... As for this round, I left satisfied.
All in all, we both ended up rating this evening as slightly less than our morning Auberge winterlicious lunch. Perhaps it's not quite fair to compare apples to oranges.. perhaps it's too much hype leading to dissappoint.. and perhaps not. Oh well.
re: vincechan
i actually didn't find the third course salad presentation to be a hindrance for eating it. the thin slices were easy to pile onto the fork allowing you to top it off with a chunk of avocado and get the perfect bites of everything over and over.
we went in looking at it as a susurlicious... considering that some of the restos have raised their prices to meet the upper end $45 mark for dinner for winterlicious, this was good value for us. everything was perfectly cooked though one ingredient usually made us question the whole concept of each dish... but nothing took significantly away.
the endive salad was probably the most perfect item in the meal though... conceptually simplistic but absolutely amazing.
re: pinstripeprincess
I'm probably just too lazy having to cut and assemble the pieces by myself... LOL... would rather like to stick a fork in it. pull out.. and get everything on it.. LOL
Totally agree with the Endive Salad! The event promised that dishes from Shang would be part of the prix fixe... though without knowing Shang's menu (not on their website yet).. it was hard to tell. Also agree that it was good value.. just not the usual Susur wow factor involved with every course (for me personally)
re: vincechan
i asked a server about this.. but i think he either misunderstood my question or gave me a potentially bull answer.
he said "none of the dishes on the menu are available at shang. shang, madelines and lee are all different." he didn't clarify if it was just for cny or the regular menu. i personally think that the only dish i would ever consider serving nyers on the cny menu was the chicken roulade, otherwise none of it really went into the complicated multiple item overtures that are normally his signature... even then that's a maybe.
re: pinstripeprincess
The Singapore slaw is on the menu at Shang.
re: pinstripeprincess
Ah, looks like our server was wrong about the 19 item slaw being on both menus. I'm thinking that I would have enjoyed Madeline's menu more than what I had at Lee.
re: always_eating
Was there Saturday night and he was roaming the room and sat down for extended parts of the evening with 2 of the tables; I think his wife was at 1 of them. He came by, introduced himself and checked on us at least 3 or 4 times. He was very gracious and seemed genuinely interested in our opinion.
We had the CNY menu and it was ok - nothing that blew us away, but solid. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the salad, the vinegar completely overpowered the rest of the dish - aside from the presentation, anyone could make this dish at home in about 5 minutes.
I would definitely try again - but only with him running the show, worth the extra $$$ for the entertainment value alone.
