Anything extraordinary in or near Encinitas?

My wife and I will be near Encinitas for the month of February. We love good ethnic restaurants with a flair - good food and good service! We intend to walk the beaches and try places for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chowhounds have never failed us! Give us all you've got.
Pannikins Coffee is a great breakfast place - sit on the patio of a converted Vicorian-ish train station have some baked goods and a cup of good coffee, and watch the world pass by...
For lunch, try the paninis at Rosana's on HWY 101 in downtown Encinitas. Its a bakery too and the french and italian couple who own it are really nice people.
Dinner try Especial Del Norte, its about a half mile north of the actual downtown strip - the Mexican Soups at this place are absolutely perfect.
If you're into music, Lou's Records is worth a trip.
re: MattofEncinitas
Lou's! I've been going there for years..I actually went to the Cardiff store(once..I'm probably one of the few people that remembers it..)then followed it to the downtown Encinitas store and now to their current location.
Lou's is my go-to place for CD's especially stuff that's kinda obscure(in other words, stuff that the chain stores wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole). And their prices are certainly right.
Savory is a new relatively new restaurant opened by the former Executive Chef of the Four Seasons Aviara. Wonderful food at very reasonable prices. Good service, well priced wine elist but a very noisy dining room. Reservations are a must. I would only go for dinner. The lunch menu is heavy on "tennis lady" salads.
re: buzznutter
Thanks for the suggestion. Will definitely be on our list. Do you know of any good chinese restaurants in the area?
re: canuck
The best Chinese is in Carlsbad, off of Marron Rd. and Monroe, next to the Greek Corner Cafe and Souplantation. The Golden Taipei has fresh food, fixed to order, clean, quiet and pleasant. Order a dish the way you want it; I get two-taste shrimp with onions and bell pepper, rather than the ingredients they offer on the menu. Everything is made to order, the service is gracious, the food outstanding. Nothing prepared in advance! Highly recommended. Not so it Chin's, where I found a Marlboro cigarette butt in my food...and when I complained I got a shrug and a "So what?" attitude! No more for me!! Golden Taipei is the place!
re: buzznutter
I echo your sentiments about Savory. The former restaurant, La Affaire, was excellent; we went there for more than 14 years. Big menu, daily specials, good service and wonderful food.Sorry it's gone, but Savory is an excellent substitute. Also I can recommend Gusto on Encinitas Blvd. near I-5, and in the same area, Le Bonne Bouffe, and excellent country French restaurant with excellent dining choices, only open for dinner.
re: buzznutter
I've been for lunch on many occassions--their fish specials and quiches are great!
I heard that Tip Top Meats is very good - has breakfast, lunch, or dinner menu. Dinner selections look pretty ethnic. See curent link. It is very near Encinitas in Carlsbad.
We used to shop there when it was in Glendale, California. He taught my mom to make German Rouladen "Meat rolls (flank steak?) filled with bacon, onions and pickles. Delicious, easy recipe learned while visiting Germany." and if she could do that - well, he must be a very good cook!

re: kc girl
Tip Top?? No-No NO!!
BAD, and I mean bad with a capital BAD! Dinners are laughable, they're so bad. Breakfast? okay, crowded which means something; large portions at breakfast, but dinner? A complete disaster. Avoid it at all costs. The imported foods market adjacent has a cornucopia of good things, however. Their reputation was "built" on their butcher shop, but the meat we had on two occasions (the only two would we went) resembled burnt Bazooka Bubblegum. Chewy wasn't the word!
re: kc girl
TIP-TOP meats is the pits! Stay away if you are looking for good food! Meat is tough, chewy and without flavor. Meals are sparsely populated with flavor and elan. Salad is pre-made, comes with dressing in a plastic pouch. Bad, bad-en-badder! Not worth the time to visit this joint. It's reputation as a decent place to eat is not true! Avoid this place, though the imported market has a lot of hard-to-find, though expensive, condiments and other Euro stuff. Restaurant is not good. Many good places to eat, this isn't one of them!!
re: Randall D. in Carlsbad
I gave up on it years ago when they grilled the corned beef for the sandwich and then defended the practice. Yuck!
My favorites are:
Chuao Chocolatier - gourmet chocolate, truffles, bon bons. At the Lumberyard in downtown Encinitas along Hwy 101.
Potato Shack - great breakfasts. On I Street just went of Hwy 101 in downtown Encinitas
Firenze - good pasta (Italian), nice atmosphere. On Encinitas Blvd just east of Manchester.
Tuscan Sun Deli - take-out deli for panini sandwiches. On El Camino Real at Leucadia Blvd.
Beach Grass Cafe - creative menu for breakfasts. Located in Solana Beach (just south of Encinitas) on Hwy 101, about 1/10 mile south of Lomas Santa Fe Dr.
I haven't found any good Chinese restaurants in Encinitas. A passable one is Mandarin City, located just east of I5 at Birmingham. The waiter speaks Mandarin and might be able to recommend authentic. A restaurant in Carlsbad called Overseas Chinese restaurant serves a decent mix of Chinese/Malaysian/Singaporean food. The owner says they frequently have seasonal Chinese vegetables which are usually available only at Chinese restaurants down on Convoy.
re: Tina
I second Chuao Chocolatier which I just found. The signature chocolate is the caramel passionfruit ... amazing. Bite into the dark chocolate shell and liquid carmel burts onto your tounge. Wait a beat ... there is the perfect tart passionfruit complementing the subtle caramel ... and I don't even LIKE caramel.
Wonderful Mexican hot choclate.
My favorite chocolates at Chuao are (in order of preference:
PARCHITA: Passionfruit hearts.
CHEVERE: who would have thought that goat cheese, pear Williams butter cream and crushed black pepper corns would be this good. Like tangy chocolate cheesecake,
CAMBUR: Banana and brown sugar caramel mmmm . You would think more chocolate makers would combine banana and chocolate.
PICANTE: I never imagined raisin, cabernet caramel, spiced up with pasilla chili and cayenne pepper could be such a winning combination
ZEN: I contemplated the lovely white chopped ginger. Missed the tea flavor, but it didnt matter.
MELAO: A salt butter caramel with the salt enhancing the soft caramel interior. .
MARACA: macadamia nuts,dark caramelt, rum these flavors really worked well together and complemeted the dark chocolate coating.
GRAN CACAO: Wpmdered what 73% cocoa chocolate meant. Its almost like chocolate liquer it is so rich. Really, it takes alcoholic, but its not.
HONEY TRUFFLE: Cream orange blossom honey ganache thin dark choclate shell, coated with powdered sugar lovely. ,
MULATO: almond marzipan and fine pieces of roasted macadamia nuts just was tasty. The bronze glitter would make a nice presentation at a dinner party. Very elegant.
Really, don't miss this place. This year Saveur voted La Especial Norte's soups one of their 100 favorite things. I think they should consider Chaou's chocolates next year.
re: Tina
Under-appreciated, quiet, friendly and serving freshly prepared food is Golden Taipei, sandwiched between Souplantation and a tanning parlor off Marron Rd., down the hill from Monroe. Olive Garden (yeechh) on the corner, Golden Taipei behind. They'll prepare anything on the menu the way you want, excellent and extensive menu. Lots of take-out customers, never crowded, but these wonderful, friendly people are undaunted. The lumpen majority slog past on their way to Souplantation (yawn) without giving Golden Taipei a second glance. Their loss, that's for sure.
re: Tina
The Potato Shack has "extraordinary" pancakes...."man hole cover size pancakes".
Potato Shack is great.
re: canuck
The soups are good especially the Chicken tortilla, pork pozole and eggplant.
However today I had the Chicken Mole Poblano, two whole chicken legs covered with at beautiful and tasty mole sauce. You could split this one.
For tacos, just down the street is Juanitas tacos. The beef taco that has a deep fried shell is the best. Juanita is famous for her carnitas, so I recommend that as well. Do a takeout and then continue on PCK to Encinitas BLVD. Take a right and eat your tacos on the lovely beach. Lots of times the fire pits are burning. Very pretty.
In the next town over, Cardiff by the Sea, there's a breakfast place called Pipes. Maybe not extrodinary but a good place for breakfast.
I haven't tried it yet, but DB Hackers in Encinitas is supposed to have good fish and chips.
If you are walking the beaches you should travel up PCH to Oceanside. Beach Break Cafe has one of the best breakfasts on the coast. Get the coffee cake. THe frehs fruit is outstanding as well.
At the end of the Oceanside pier is Ruby's a chain, but the location is so cool. Loooong pier. There is a shuttle that will run you to Ruby's. In Oceanside is Johnny Manana's which has wonderful Mexican food and makes thier own Aqua fresca.
Back in Carlsbad, there is Samba which has brazilian food ... all you can eat meat. There is post way down on the board on it.
This link covers quite a few of the North Coast places. Please note though that the following places on this list get trashed quite a lot on this board:
Big Jim's Old South Barbecue
Cafe 101
Fidel's Carlsbad (but it LOOKS so pretty)
Tip Top Meats
I haven't been there yet, but the Village Grill is supposed to have a wonderful burger.
re: Stanley Stephan
The VILLAGE GRILLE burger is the best you can find in Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Encinitas, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar or any place else north of the Crest Cafe in Hillcrest.
Fries are freshly made too. Thick milkshakes (no phony ingredients either) or a Coke rounds out the meal. Burgers are tops!
I am impressed. I thought Encinitas was a small town. However, the number of recommendations makes me believe I am heading for a metropolis. Our daughter assures us it is definitely a small town despite the number of good restaurants.
Thanks all for the recommendations. I'll post our findings on our return.
There is a nice small cafe on Coast 101 in Leucadia, east of Encinitas. Its called Bird House Grill-Kabobs and Greek salad- a Mom and Pop- very reasonable and good.
For Japanese:
Kaito on El Camino Real, Encinitas might be the best sushi South of LA. Really.
Japanese saba (never frozen)
Freshly prepared anago (cooked sea eel)
The high grade local uni (blue label)
Kohada (gizzard shad)
Amiebi when they can get it (sweet shrimp)
Just to name a few favorites. I was just there last night. Phenomenal as always. (You'll see)
Also, don't miss YuMeYa (Sake House) on 101 in Leucadia for "Japanese tapas".
re: stevewag23
Kaito is very good sushi (not much ambience - but the sushi is top quality). Bring your wallet.
If you can make it down to Solana Beach (five minutes from Encinitas) - pick up a carne asada burrito from Rudy's Taco Shop. Get it to go and head down to Fletcher's Cove (little beach cliff park 2 minutes away) to enjoy the ocean views and much on some awesome carne asada.
Also in Cardiff, (which borders Encinitas) check out VG's Bakery - everyone recommends their donuts (which are very good), but they have the BEST blueberry loaf in the world!
Samurai Restaurant - 979 Lomas Santa Fe Dr Solana Beach, CA
Best Japanese near encinitas, definite contender for best sushi in North County SD.
re: belsho
apparently you haven't been to Kaito yet....
re: belsho
Are you kidding? Sorry to say this but Samurai was an unmitigated disaster! I last went when Kaito was in between moving from their original location, and I was desparate to find some good traditional Sushi.
Sure the bar was crowded with extremely happy customers, but they were all roll customers, no doubt all believing that they're all eating at some kind of Mecca of bastardized Sushi.
I asked to be seated in front of their most senior chef, and waited to be seated. At this time I recognized one of the waiters, who was an itinerant chef who worked at some of the local Japanese restaurants. He made a space for me amongst the crowd and pulled in a new seat in front of their chef as he got me my beer and tea.
I then proceeded to order a piece at a time. I cannot recall now more than a year later what I had ordered, but I was aghast at the lack of quality. In fact it was so bad that my instincts were to just leave after eating only my first Nigiri, but I stuck around since I didn't want to embarrass my friend. So rather than leave I ordered a second item, again just as horrid, and a third, ditto, and now I felt that I could leave.
As bad as it was I left a healthy tip for my friend, and as I walked out he apologized about their cuisine. It was obvious that he was quite embarrassed too by this charade of a restaurant. No doubt though that Samurai does not rest alone. For lovers of real traditional Sushi the so-called "Sushi bars" of San Diego makes our streets a very dangerous place to tread.
My only recommendations for Sushi in this vast county of ours are firstly for Kaito Sushi, followed by Sushi Dokoro Shirahama. There are no others, despite what the media or most Sushi diners would have you believe.
re: SDGourmand
Yes, Carlsbad is way above Encinitas. North of Encinitas, that is.
No doubt roll shops have their fans, but Nozomi is yet another bad restaurant, at least in what they purport to do, which is Japanese food.
There is one item that I can recommend at Nozomi, and it's the only non-Japanese item (I'm being generous here as I can add all of their rolls too as being non-Japanese) on their menu, and that is their Green Noodle Soup. Amazing, wonderful, homemade, and healthy!
In fact not only is this dish not Japanese, but it's not even Korean either! So what is it? It's the private recipe of the owner's mother, who would everyday cook down a huge pot of vegetables in order to make just one day's worth of noodles. It's something that she used to make at home in Korea to provide a healthy and delicious meal for her kids.
They used to use it just for staff meals for their first shop on Convoy in Kearny Mesa, but eventually they put it on their menu. Honestly it's the only thing on their menu that I enjoy, and I say that without any reservation.
Green Noodles yes. Everything else no.
SDG: How have you concluded that Nozomi is above Kaito other than geographically? I find it astounding, but it does interest me how you arrived at your conclusion. One's a small regional McSushi chain, and the other is a specialist at Edo Mae Sushi.
re: cgfan
Nozomi Carlsbad is not part of the nozomi chain. I've been going to Nozomi in carlsbad since they opened about 3 years ago and the quality of fish is always been top notch. The toro, sake toro, uni, amebi, kohada all amazing. They get there fish fresh daily never frozen. The owner and chef really take pride in that. As they state it's a Japanese fusion restaurant, so obviously the dishes on the menu are not going to be authentic japanese. When I go all I eat his nigri and sashimi and a few little apps (gyoza,shumai, etc) not a roll person. Do you think the quality of fish is average here, because I've seen the fish personally when they get it in and it is by far the freshest and of the highest quality. I just don't understand how you can have such animosity towards this place when they are doing great work and take pride in it.
re: SDGourmand
SDG, my sincere apologies, I thought it to be the same as the Nozomi in Kearny Mesa & UTC. If it's not part of that chain and is truly trying to do traditional Sushi, then certainly it was a most unfortunate choice of names and I indeed did jump the gun.
If they indeed never freeze with daily deliveries, then that alone makes them worthwhile to be considered for a visit. But still troubling is that they are a fusion Japanese restaurant. I truly believe that any one attempting fusion should first master the basics of the underlying cuisine. By chance have you established that they excel, I mean truly excel, at the traditional items?
Also we're talking about a restaurant on 3 floors? To me that rings of a focus on revenue and profits over quality. I literally lose my appetite for Sushi if they are not 100% dedicated towards that single goal, and to do that well begs of a tiny and focused operation. And a head Sushi chef that has only 12 years experience?
Of course none of this makes it impossible that they still might do well with the traditional items, it just makes it very unlikely. I promise, though, that if I do go and give them a try that I'll give them a fair shake.
My personal preferences are for the old school chefs like Morita-san of Kaito, Kotani-san of Shirahama, and Shibutani-san of Shibucho. They all run very tiny, Sushi-focused shops of utmost integrity and quality, and in particular Morita-san and Shibutani-san are both men of great humility.
re: cgfan
I think Kaito is good don't get me wrong Nozomi and Kaito are the only two sushi places in SD that I'll go too, but I just happen to prefer Nozomi. I can see from the pictures on your flickr account that you have a love for Kaito ( I loved the video of the knife skills and prepping the eel) You are correct about the restaurant having 3 floors but there isn't much seating on each floor. The owner just loved the space and designed the whole thing himself. He takes great pride in his work and restaurant. I would just tell you to go and give it a shot. Sit by chef Ken Lee and let him take care of you. I really think that you'll appreciate the quality.
I've attached some pics of two special dishes that ken lee prepared and the toro and sake toro
re: SDGourmand
sorry chowpeople i like samurai. i like nigiri and i like rolls. and im pretty sure there is nothing wrong with that. and you never know what the people who started the topic (long ago) might have been hoping to get suggestions for so..... chill. and thanks! for the recommendations to Kaito it sounds great and now because of you i will definitely be going to eat there!
-belsho - i like to eat everything from junk to funk to padunkadunk
-chowhound not chownazi or chowsnobby
re: SDGourmand
SDG, believe me I'm not trying to be contrarian, but the gulf between those who are minimally or improperly trained to those that are traditionally trained is quite large. (I'm saying this with reference to the Nigiri I see... Perhaps you may have some better examples?)
First with the two improvised dishes, I don't mind some new combinations bulit upon traditional taste philosophies for a change of pace, but I'm not sure what I'm seeing. Of course the Uzura, Tobiko, and Uni and a light sauce of some kind are obvious, but to me they do not make any sense together. And what else is there underneath? And to the second one I cannot make out any particular element at all, except for perhaps a Daikon that has been immeresed in water with red food coloring. Perhaps you can explain what I'm seeing.
To my eyes both Nigiri look way out of balance, and one absurdly so. I don't believe it's because I'm not much of an Otoro fan. However when I do (rarely) have Otoro I certainly wouldn't want it to be so dominant as I see in this photo. It's practially wrapped around all visible sides of the Nigiri as if it might err on the side of not enough Otoro. In the end without actually tasting this one I could only guess that it will taste of too much fat without enough balancing Shari to cut through and leave a pleasant and not cloyingly persistent (Shitsukoi) aftertaste and mouthfeel.
(I do enjoy a good Chu-toro though, but only when the lean and the fat are in perfect balance so as to not overpower the other, and where the lean caries the clear bright taste of iron.)
And then we have the salmon Toro Nigiri. This reminds me of the sad antics being played around at Sushi Ota to wow their customers. All gimmick and flash, and potentially something quite a bit worse. That must be where Ken Lee first picked up this quite unorthodox practice. To me it's an insult to the customer, almost like saying that Sushi for their customer is not about balance but simply about quantity.
And neither of these items would have appeared in traditional Edo Mae Sushi. Toro is a relative newcomer, increasing in popularity with the exposure of more Western-style diets in Japan as they grew more and more accustomed to the taste of fat. And salmon is generally not used for Sushi in Japan. One may find salmon being served in inexpensive Kaiten (conveyer belt) Sushi shops, but only because it is cheap and satisfies the younger palate that has been more exposed to Western diets.
I've always pondered why Sushi Ota practices this method of service; as I recall it was only done to specific varieties of Sushi, specifically with their Hamachi and salmon. If that is the case, that is only to their Hamachi and salmon, then I suspect it is done as a way to make a joke at the customer's expense. This may sound harsh, but here's my reasoning.
Both Hamachi and salmon are not traditional ingredients for Sushi. Both would be considered too unrefined for use as Sushi Tane, and both are heavily farmed and readily available at very low cost. Again perfect for perhaps the Kaiten Sushi places where the focus is more on a budget meal and food costs are strictly controlled to offer a product to the less-traditional Sushi diner. But in general you would not find these items at any proper Sushi bar in Japan.
So now skip forward to the predominant taste preferences found amongst the bulk of Sushi diners in the States, with their heavy and almost exclusive focus on Toro, Hamachi, and salmon. Might the folks at Sushi Ota be making a statement at the customer's expense by serving what are to any traditional Sushi diner an absurdly over the top, almost clownish use of Tane on top of a ball of Shari?
One would never do that with expensive Tane, but farmed Hamachi and salmon are cheap, so why not? Not only might it be hilarious (in a wicked way), but the customer seems to love such monstrosities.
This reminds me of an acquaintance who as a college student traveling through Europe stopped into a pub and ordered a soda. The soda was sent to his table in a baby bottle! As in Bozo's floppy shoes, to my eyes the salmon Toro Nigiri that you show just has that kind of unrefined quality to it. The only difference between the pub and the Sushi bar is that with the baby bottle the joke is all too obvious to all, but with the Sushi it'll only be obvious to the chefs behind the bar and to any of the traditional diners within view of your Geta. But the customer is oblivious and even happy at the situation, ready to repeat the same joke upon himself on his very next visit.
There are many harsh realities that I find even the most frequent Sushi diner learns about when they first dine at a traditional Sushi bar that truly respects both their customer and their craft like at Kaito. All too often they find, for instance, that simple things like the Tako or the Saba that has been served to them at their favorite Sushi bars were only inedible because they were frozen. Things they thought they did not like they actually find they love. And then they realize the depths of the charade being played at most Sushi bars everywhere, and they suddenly realize that most of the Emperors (Sushi chefs) are wearing no clothes.
As I've previously noted in another thread on these boards, when you dine at Kaito the adulterated veil of frozen Tane that is served elsewhere is lifted, leaving only the clean, pure tastes of what was really practiced in old Tokyo (Edo). Items you thought were familiar is tasted anew; a whole new light is cast upon the Sushi experience, and suddenly one realizes the true seasonality and promise of this wonderful cuisine.
SDG, show up at Kaito while I'm there and I'll happily buy you a beer and point out all of the subtle things that normally goes by unnoticed at a traditional Sushi bar.
re: PommeDeGuerre
PDG: The only Tane that is commonly frozen (if not smoked or otherwise cured) is salmon, which is not even in traditional use in Japan as a Sushi Tane. Of course many items at the Sushi bar are either marinated or cooked; after all not everything is consumed raw.
In the end I think your will find that your answer will fall on one of two sides, depending on whether or not you follow the guidance of, say, the USFDA, or of the cumulative wisdom collected over nearly 200 years of experience.
However I'd be much less confident if this is at your typical Sushi bar where the chef has not gone through a traditional apprenticeship, but then again they are the ones most likely to be using frozen Tane.
The same can be said about making beef safe to eat. It's just a matter of who you care to listen to. (BTW I prefer mine passed through a warm room...)
re: cgfan
I love both sushi and sashimi, but the best fish to ever pass across the most distinguishing palate of all time is not worth a parasite. No chef, no matter how experienced and selective can tell if they are in there in certain stages of their life cycle. I'll take a brief par-freeze every time, and in a blind taste test doubt that anyone would notice an appreciable difference. To each their own,
re: PommeDeGuerre
BTW a brief par-freeze is not sufficient for treating salmon. (And the reason for treating salmon is that it spends part of its lifecycle in fresh water.)
re: PommeDeGuerre
I think your paranoia is largely misplaced. Most parasites are very host specific. While fresh water fish like salmon or coastal fish (say CA rockfish) may have some parasites that can live in mammals, parasites that would be found in deep sea fish would be no threat to humans. Our body temperatures etc are vastly different than those of a tuna for example.
re: Ed Dibble
Precaution hardly indicates paranoia, but thanks for the concern.
re: PommeDeGuerre
Might be of interest.
re: PommeDeGuerre
PDG: Right now I'm sweating bullets counting my many blessings. Don't know how I could have possibly survived this gauntlet of raw Sushi horrors in such good health: http://www.flickr.com/photos/akatayam...
Swearing off of Sushi until the FDA opens up their own Sushi bars.
The FDA: Don't go CH'ing without them...
The FDA: We know how to live...
The FDA: Our century of experience trumps the knowledge of generations...
re: cgfan
This post is one of the most informed and intelligent concerning sushi that I have read on the Chowhound boards. Thank goodness that here in Tokyo I am spared the strange horror of "not-quite" sushi executions, never mind the silly Monster Truck Roll sushi nightmares I often run into when I return to California.
re: cgfan
I would really enjoy sitting with you and discussing sushi more. I'm not as knowledgable in this cusine as you are and would love to learn more. Nozomi is/will always be one of my go to places. I know the fish is fresh and that's more than I can say for most places. How often do you go to kaito?
re: SDGourmand
I back up SDGoumand on Nizomi. Yes its Fusion and I have eaten at Kaito. While if your a purist Kaito is the best around but Nazomi is better for rolls and I have talked with the owner/head chef on every visit and he is the real deal with his heart in the right place.
re: chris2269
It would be interesting to ask Nozomi if their spicy tuna rolls uses fresh, unfrozen unfarmed Blue Fin tuna.
Though they are a traditional Sushi bar Kaito will fulfill any order, even the ones for non-traditional rolls. That means that for the most part their roll customers are getting a ridiculous upgrade in the quality of their roll ingredients that you probably won't be able to touch nearly anywhere else.
Are you sure you're not tasting the seasonings rather than the fish itself by saying that Nozomi's rolls are better? Or perhaps that is what you are saying.
re: cgfan
I 2nd the upgraded rolls at Kaito. One of my friends ordered a tempura shrimp roll and let me have a piece. I was blown away by the lightness of the tempura and the gentle balance between the crisp tempura, sweet shrimp, rice and other stuff that was in the roll. Night and day compared to other rolls I've had over the years. It was like the gourmet version of a mac and cheese compared to a Kraft mac and cheese.
re: SDGourmand
Sometimes I feel that I practically live there! Though they get shipments everyday, I'm usually at Kaito when they get shipments from all their sources, which is on Tuesdays and Fridays, or occasionally the day after those days.
And I do promise if I go to Nozomi I will give it an honest shake for their Nigiri, though honestly I still am not expecting much at all.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Q'ero in Encinitas, South American/Peruvian.
A few people have mentioned these but they're worth repeating:
Kaito - sushi
Elizabethan - yummy desserts
Savory - Sort of upscale by laid-back Encinitas standards
Bird House Grill - Go on a Friday or Saturday and stay for the belly dancing
A few that I didn't see:
Qero - Peruvian food that can't be missed
Tony's - Mexican, try the turkey tacos!
Jorge's - A little taco shop with two locations in Encinitas. Their Mexican soup is amazing and the ultimate cure for a cold
Honey's - on PCH for breakfast, owned by the same people that do Swami's and Beach Grass Cafe
re: RebJaeBoe
Just realized I forgot Bety's Mexican food on Encinitas Blvd. Yum! The family is great and the food is even better.
re: RebJaeBoe
A second for Tony's Jacal in Solana Beach. Turkey tacos and my favorite all time guacamole. This had been there since the 1940's for a reason!
I just returned from a three day mini-vacation in Encinitas, and here is my report on some of the restaurants mentioned.
Bull Taco was wonderful. I had a Bacon, Lobster and Chorizo (BLC) taco ($5) that was the highlight of the meal. The Ahi Taco ($2) and Duck Confit Taco ($2.50) were both very good. They have tables overlooking the ocean. Great location and great food. www.bulltacocardiff.com
We stopped at El Pescador Fish Market in La Jolla for lunch after enjoying Torrey Pines State Park. The Clam Chowder was very good and the Swordfish with avocado sandwich ($9.95) was excellent. I enjoyed El Pescador more than Point Loma Seafood, which I like very much. elpescadorfishmarket.com
Especial Del Norte was a disappointment. The Tortilla Soup and the Chicken Soup were very good. The Fish Taco was bad, very fishy tasting with bland cabbage. The Shrimp Burrito had plenty of shrimp, but they were fairly tasteless. www.laespecial101.com
The Golden Taipei has closed.
So we went to the Bird House Grill for Turkish food and were very pleased. Small, with no liquor license (other tables had carried in wine and beer) with pleasant but a little slow service. We shared a combination platter ($15.95) which came with chicken kebabs, gyros meat, and ground lamb kebabs. Flat bread, rice, and a yogurt sauce accompanied the meat. More than enough for two and everything tasted great.
re: scottg
Q'ero in Encinitas is the best of the bunch.
I'm a little late to this thread, but I'm a longtime Encinitas resident, everyone has their favorites, here's mine:
Trattoria I trulli for italian
Siamese Basil, I second the best north county Thai, one of my all-time favorite SD spots to eat
Honey's and St. Germain for breakfast
Ki's restaurant (technically Cardiff) for good healthy-ish food
La Especial is a good post-surf soup spot, but it's not amazing, just good soup.
Bull Taco is amazing, don't tell anybody
Pannikin for coffee
And of course, VGS.
I'm intrigued by this Kaito talk. I wrote it off as another strip mall spot, but I'll have to give it a whirl. I haven't been to Tomiko in years, but if my memory serves, it was good. There's also Bubby's in the lumberyard for gelato. There's quite a few new spots I haven't tried because I can't keep up with the rotation. Falafel burger at Roxy is a nice snack.
re: cmahlum
If you haven't been to Tomiko in years then your memories of a good place for Sushi is no doubt due to Morita-san opening up the Sushi bar there as their head Sushi chef, having been recruited out of Nobu.
I've been to Tomiko since he left and it was absolutely terrible. It was so telling, though.
A junior chef that was under Morita-san was still there at Tomiko, and he recognized me from my many visits with Morita-san. As I recall he was terrified, literally had shaking hands, and he apologized in advance for the quality of their fish before I even started to order. Alas there was no need to say so, as it was obvious.
Well Morita-san left Tomiko around 5 years ago to open up Kaito at it's original Encinitas Blvd. location, and after 3 years opened up in the new, more appropriately-sized ECR location just a half a mile away.
You'll find Morita-san there as Kaito's head Sushi chef, taking the spot closest to the front. You might also recognize his assistant Sushi chef Joe-san (Iwatani-san), who also worked under Morita-san at Tomiko. If they still recognize you, they're apt to say, "Where were you? What took you so long?"
Tomiko is special for me in that that is where I first had the revelation of tasting Morita-san's Sushi. Literally with the very first bite of the very first order of my very first visit at Tomiko I immediately knew that Morita-san was playing in a different league. To this day I can clearly remember that moment as if it were yesterday, and it still remains as one of the most instantly revelatory experiences that I've ever had with food.

It makes the whole elimination process much easier to understand, even for those with little or no understanding of the human body.Step 1: PrepareTo do a juice cleanse safely, you can't just jump into it from one day to the next. You HAVE to prepare your body with the right foods and diet, and that's what this booklet is all about.The book explains how to juice properly, what to do to prepare your body for the all-liquid diet, and how to avoid the most common mistakes. It looks at whether you should juice or blend (IMO, blending is best!), and examines a few of the most toxic substances to replace BEFORE you start your cleanse, including:SaltAlcohol, drugs, cigarettesSynthetic supplementsAnimal productsCoffee, caffeine, soft drinksProcessed sugar and refined foodsDrama, news (What the heck? No valid explanation given here…)The book ends with a lot of tips and tricks to help you get your body ready for the juice fast.Step 2: The CleanseNow we get to the 3 to 10-day cleanse itself, the part of the diet that promises all the weight loss.The book dives right in, discussing the schedule for juicing, what types of juices to make, and a list of delicious juice recipes.

After all, it offers decent value, and you learn a lot about juicing.Overall, it seems like a pretty good program to consider, though don't expect AMAZING or drastic results when juicing. It's just not the most effective way to lose weight, but it's great at flushing out your intestines!We're Not Too Fond Of:The videos — They're all useless, just the program creators jabbering on about the product.The lack of data — There are no medical studies cited to provide information to back up the statements and claims made about juicing. They basically rely on the average person's knowledge that "fruits and veggies are healthy".We Love:The layout — The booklets are VERY easy to read, and you can basically skim them and get all the information you need in a few minutes. There's no need to read every word, making it a very reader-friendly program.The complete program — You get everything you need to know from this program, including recipes, juicer reviews, and tips and tricks.

A candlelight protest march was taken out under the aegis of non-government organisation People for Better Treatment (PBT) at Jantar Mantar here on Wednesday demanding a new mechanism to deal effectively with cases of medical negligence.
Kunal Saha, who recently got a compensation of Rs.13 crore for the wrong medical treatment of his wife Anuradha which led to her death, has formed the organisation that fights for the rights of the victims of medical negligence.
Through the protest march, PBT demanded setting up of a transparent and a corruption-free regulatory body to head all the medical centres in the country, alleging that the Medical Council of India (MCI) had failed to deliver its part of duty in securing the interests of patients.
"A regulatory organisation is needed to fix accountability of these negligent doctors. My father Justice Verma also became a victim of such negligence by the so-called well known doctors who prescribed a cocktail of drugs to him without scrutinising his test report", alleged Shubhra Verma, adding that "MCI appears to be under a lot of pressure and fails to honestly review the cases of negligence." She said mere a few days of suspension was not enough in cases of medical negligence, something more needed to be done. Among those who participated in the protest was Poroma Rebollo who lost her father. She also complained about the callousness of the authorities and about the unanswered RTI applications. "This organisation has been set up as the voice of those who have either become helpless medical patients or have already suffered deaths due to the wrong treatment by the doctors or the so called Gods and have not been awarded any justice", said Meenakshi Jain whose father Mr. P.K. Jain "died of medical negligence ".

Head of Household Russell has put his two nominees on the block in the "Big Brother" house. Find out who is nominated after the jump.
Russell has nominated Ronnie and Lydia. I like it that Russell stuck to his guns and put Ronnie up. Let's just hope he doesn't win POV or that the house doesn't flip and oust Lydia.
Stayed tuned tomorrow to find out who gets picked to play for Power of Veto. Also, hopefully we'll find out who won the Coup d'Etat.

I am happy with Russell's nominations and glad to see he is not under Jessie's spell. I hope this is the eend of the reign of terror and Jeff will get some power in the house!
Russell should have nominated Jessie – when are the HG's going to get a clue – get rid of "all about me Jessie"!!! Or natalie should be up against Jessie as well!!!
I think Russel made an excellent decision. I would have perfered Jessie…or Natalie…there is a reason why Jessie did not win last season. I am not really understanding why the majority of the household idolizes him. He is still the same whine ass as last year.
I'm glad that Ronnie is up on the block. I'd like to see Jeff and Jordan showmance go somewhere, they're a cute couple.
I agree, Russell should have put Jessie up, I dodn't like him last year either.
I would love to see Jessie and Natalie up against each other. We would see how quickly Jesse would turn his back on his little lap dog!
didnt know Russell had it in him. Thought he was too much of a chicken. Good going Russell…
finally they might get rid of the RAT. but i would loved to have seen jess & nat go up.
Jessie is going to win this thing if someone doesn't get him out soon but I am also hoping Ronnie gets voted out.
I can't believe these people are so stupid. Jesse & Natalie should be gone if anyone has a chance of winning!
Thank God that Russell stood good on his promise to Jeff. The dork-a-pottimus needs to go and next week Jessie and the following week – Jessie's sandwich making bulldog!

Circle Two: Handheld Hellions
Like a confetti egg filled with anthrax, the DS and GBA coo "come play with me," while whispering "...so I may eat your soul." Though rarely the first port of call for full-fat frustration, they've certainly had their moments.
Etrian Odyssey
Mooching through the vicious shrubberies of the Yggdrasil Labyrinth is only really perilous for those too impatient to tune up their band of warriors.
Even so, proper progress forces you into a deadly Catch-22 situation: Party-improving weapons require gold, gold is given as reward for completing quests, quests are too hard without party-improving weapons.
Doh! Death comes often and, as if to rub it in, at the hooves of deer.
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
Aside from Neotank units and a smattering of new terrain features to cower behind, Advance Wars 2 wasn't much of a change.
So how could it destroy even the most experienced COs? Thrown in at the deep end, it was as if the developers saw this as a direct continuation of the original campaign (i.e. starts at the difficulty of that title's last mission and only grows harder).
Black Hole Rising? Asshole rising, more like.
Kuru Kuru Kururin
What does the title mean? It's the sound of your teeth grinding through your chin as yet another spinning stick journey through a don't-touch-the-walls maze ends with another loss.
Sitting in the alcoves waiting to dart down the next twisted corridor is about as tense as GBA gaming gets, and with later levels designed for perfect synchronized timing, it's at moments like these that Nintendo probably regret designing such an easy-to-throw console.
Circle Three: Heart Breaking
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Alas, it takes more than a sunny outlook to craft a game, and so this circle of hell is reserved for those titles that were made all the more difficult by crummy technical flaws.
Super Ghouls and Ghosts
Super Ghouls And Ghosts had to feature somewhere - it is, after all, a genuine hardcore SNES classic that'll happily send you and your heart-dotted boxer shorts to the pearly gates within your first 15 steps.
The GBA version features here for some chug-tastic slowdown that transforms the tricky kneejerk reactions into a task of Sisyphean pointlessness.
If the wolves, skeletons, knights, demons, bats and zombies don't get you, the framerate will.
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Castlevanias have us wailing through the night. However, we reckon the prize goes to Circle Of The Moon. A GBA launch title, the dark gothic graphics were designed before the GBA's contrast specs were known, leaving gamers with a black screen which only an intense light source could interpret.
Batman: Dark Tomorrow
Along with being complete Bat-tosh, Dark Tomorrow is famous in our office for having baffled everyone, including the PR who was sent to demonstrate it.
Watching our staff members plummet down the same crevice time and time again, the accompanying PR seized the pad only to plunge the caped crusader straight into the gap himself.
Proclaiming it broken, we mentally filed the moment away for a feature just like this one.

Book Description:
Eleven-year-old Clara is struggling to find the truth about her missing father and grandfather and her dead twin sister, but her mother refuses to talk. When Clara begins interviewing Georg Kominsky--her elderly neighbor--she finds that he is equally reticent about his own concealed history. Precocious and imaginative, Clara invents versions of Mr. Kominsky's past, just as she invents lives for the people missing from her own shadowy history. Her journey of discovery is at the heart of this beautiful story about unlikely friendship and communion, about discovering what matters most in life, and about the search to find the missing pieces of ourselves.

I got this recipe out of The Best of America's Test Kitchen book. Its simple and it's a real family pleaser :) I served this with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli for a complete meal. Note: Avoid thin chicken breasts for this recipe; they are difficult to stuff without tearing. Preshredded or part-skim mozzarella will also work in the filling, but it will be grainy.

November 27, 2014
When you're shopping this holiday season, if your cashier doesn't take time to verify your checks or credit cards, police say they should. It could end up costing you more in the long run.
At Best Buy in Rib Mountain, managers say protecting the customer is a top priority. That's why every employee is trained to validate every transaction at his or her register, no matter how busy it gets.
The policy is designed to stop anyone from illegally using your checks or credits cards. Still, not every store follows these simple rules.
"Unfortunately not. I wish everybody would take the same precautions because it is for the protection of the consumer," said Denise Zoltowski, Best Buy Operations Manager.
If stores don't prevent fraud, any losses can ultimately be passed onto the consumer. Meaning, higher prices for items you want to buy.
Local police say there is more check and credit card fraud every year. So, especially with the holiday shopping season already in full swing, they are encouraging all merchants to verify buyer's identity.
"What our request is to merchants, that they look at those issues as an obligation on their part," said Chief Neil Strobel from the Merrill Police Department.
Wausau Police tell NewsChannel 7 that they've seen more local stores step up their security policies in the past two years, because of the increase in check and credit card fraud.

Outdoor Activities
Hiking and river rafting are two of the most popular activities in Dinosaur National Monument - but are by no means all that Dinosaur has to offer. Bicycling is available on maintained dirt roads. There are many good places to cast your fishing rod. Backcountry camping is a great way to feel like you are the only person in the monument. Nighttime reveals some of the darkest skies in America - perfect for stargazing. Mount up and go horseback riding. Or just take a leisurely trip on one of our scenic drives.
Winter snow and cold can limit access to many parts of the monument. Other winter recreation opportunities, however, are available because of the snow. When there is enough snow cover, snowmobiling is permitted on Harpers Corner Drive between the Plug Hat Parking Area and the Echo Park Road turnoff. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are also permitted.
Stop at a visitor center for a schedule of ranger-led programs during the summer.

Corvette's Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter held this one-hour seminar at the National Corvette Museum's 2012 Bash called "Engineering the Corvette". With all the excitement surrounding the up-coming 2014 C7 Corvette, Tadge wanted to take Corvette owners and enthusiasts inside the process. From the halls of GM's design center to the factory floor in Bowling Green, check out all that goes into revamping an America's favorite sports car.
GM / Factory News
Article contributed by Dave Salvatore / Kerbeck Corvette
We just got done reviewing the new incentives that GM has announced and it appears that Corvette is going to ride the wave of a very successful month in sales by keeping all of the current incentives.
The special APR of 0% up to 60 months and 2.9% for 72 months has been extended along with the $1,500 dealer cash.
It was in 2009 that GM relauched the Chevy Camaro and it today its one of the most popular cars in its segment.
GM's Chairman Daniel Akerson was asked in an intervew by Kathleen Walter of Newsmax.tv if GM is planning any other relaunches of popular models. Akerson responded by saying, "Not in the intermediate near term, I don't think so." But then the Chairman and CEO added the following about the 2014 C7 Corvette:
On Friday Afternoon at the National Corvette Museum's 2012 Bash, Team Corvette members and enthusiasts gathered outside for an up-close look at the new 2013 427 Convertible Edition Corvettes and the new 60th Anniversary package. Leading the presentation was Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter and Product Manager Harlan Charles.
One of the highlights of the NCM Bash at the Corvette Museum is annual seminar that recaps the current production year and then showcases the changes for new model year. At the "What's New for 2013 Corvette" Seminar presented to a standing room only crowd in the Chevrolet Theater on Saturday morning, Team Corvette Members Tadge Juechter, Harlan Charles, Kirk Bennion and Craig Sass went through their areas of expertise and then opened up the forum for questions. Watch the complete 1-hour seminar after the jump.
At the NCM Bash at the Corvette Museum today, Team Corvette members Tadge Juechter and Harlan Charles gave a brief walk around tour of the 2013 Corvette. It was during that presentation that Harlan said their pricing had been approved and that the 2013 427 Convertible Corvette would have a starting MSRP of $75,925
Sure we already seen pictures of the new blue color available for 2013 Corvettes, but to actually see the new Night Race Blue sparkle under the beautiful Bowling Green sunshine was a whole new experience. We are officially in love with the new color and while it will take some time for people to experience the color in person for themselves, hopefully these photos will give you an idea of how it really looks.
Thursday officially kicked off the 2012 NCM Bash at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. The crowds were good and with many different activities to attend, it was tough to cover it all. But we tried and so after the jump, take a look at what went on at the Corvette Museum on Day 1 of the NCM Bash.
Add another chapter to the amazing life story of Patrick Rummerfield.
Rummerfield is known around the world as the only fully recovered quadriplegic in history, having come back from a 1970's car wreck that had left him paralyzed from the neck down.

It's Indian Now?
Dinner with my foodie daughter and I has now changed from Italian to Indian for our Saturday night. We have dined at Copper Chimney and it is a viable option. Looking for any suggestions outside of the Chimney option.
Thank you
only been there once, but i liked aravind quite a bit. very casual setting, but rather more refined cooking. it's keralan, which i gather involves more fish & vegetables, and less butter/cream/heavy sauces (though i'm no expert!) it's easily accessible by TTC too, which is a plus.
re: dubchild
LTH is still amazing. Shocks me every time at how good the food is at that price-point.
re: biggreenmatt
Not as much fun in the winter as eating on the patio!
re: dubchild
+1 for Aravind
LTH is great but you need to be ready for the atmosphere, I know that it's not quite the "restaurant in the middle of a construction site" it once was but there's still some of that.
re: dubchild
LTH is terrible.
I know you specifically asked for Indian - but I would consider the Afghan restaurant Bamiyan Kabob in the Thornecliffe area. It's not far off the DVP, so it's easy to get too.
re: pakmode
I love Bamiyan Kabob for what it is but would always caveat that with a) it's fast food counter service b) it's a bright and sterile room (and very clean), c) not surprisingly for the cuisine of a muslim country, no liquor licence. Go for the food sure, but there is NO atmosphere to speak of.
re: dubchild
Just went to LTH tonight with the fam for the first time in a year or two. The place is still rocking it (and possibly might be even better than before). We got the usual: vegetable combo sizzler (lentils, chickpeas, cauliflower, potato, spinach), chicken tikka and chicken kebab rice sizzler, beef nihari, and whole wheat chapatti.
Beef nihari is still succulent, the meat cooked just right so that there's a gelatinousness to it. The combo sizzler was very well-seasoned and cooked. Unlike previous ventures when the vegetables were a bit overcooked, we didn't find that to be the case this time. The folks commented on how greatly improved this dish was compared to previous visits and my dad pretty much wolfed the whole thing down (saying a lot since he's nearly a carnivore). Chicken tikka was moist, and the chicken kebabs were delicious as usual (though that was probably the weakest thing on the table).
While I thought the dinner was a tad better than previous times, my parents thought that it was a vast improvement over a restaurant that has always been pretty good. From what we could gather from the staff, they hadn't changed chefs, but had learned to make some of their dishes more mild (which we all agreed ended up being better though we all love heat). And of course, the true litmus test: there were tons of Indian/Pakistani families waiting for tables. $48 with tax/tips.
I'm still very much in love with Jaipur Grille though admittedly I haven't eaten there in about 3 months.
re: spine64
I've also enjoyed Jaipur Grille.
There's also Utsav on Yorkville Ave near Bellair. I've never dined there, so I can't comment on the food, but it looked fairly busy the last time I walked by.
Host on Prince Arthur is another option located near Yorkville. http://www.welcometohost.com/menu.html
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/1051... I haven't dined at the Yorkville Host in the last decade,so I can't comment on recent experiences.
re: prima
I'm afraid you might find my tastes somewhat less than adventurous. Here goes anyway.
First, I like that they have a selection of decent wines and cocktails. That's so rare in an Indian restaurant. I usually go with a Riesling. I'm a little disappointed that they no longer serve Narcissist. The current one is okay, but that could stand improvement.
Second, the room is appropriate for a couple or family night out. Not luxurious, but comfortable with good and knowledgeable service.
Third, there's a gentleman server who's been there for years. I highly recommend talking to him about your likes/dislikes and having him recommend dishes. Surprises have worked out for me quite nicely.
From the app's, I like the pakoras served light and crispy without a hint of grease. (But I know you're in there, yes I do.) The Tandoori wings are kinda fun if you're in the mood for that. If I'm really hungry i might go with the lamb rib chops. I'm a sucker for Indian spiced lamb.
For a main, it depends on mood, heavy or light. I'm definitely a Lamb Vindaloo gal, but I've yet to have a meat dish I didn't like. I've yet to have the Pahadi Chicken. I saw it land on the table next door last time and now it's definitely on my to-do.
Their seafood dishes are lovely. The Goan shrimp is a fave of mine. Grouper Konkani is also nice.
Naan is crisp with just the right amount of char. Their pullao I wish I could make at home. So, so good.
Don't skip dessert. I'm partial to the Ras Malai which I might not have gotten around to without the server's rec. Pair it with a shot of Frangelico and that's heaven to me.
Oh to live in their delivery zone.
re: Googs
Thanks so much for your detailed reply, Googs. I just like having specific dishes recommended, adventurous or not.
I don't eat Indian food frequently enough to try every channa masala, every aloo gobi, etc in the city, so I appreciate recs for specific dishes. I'll have to try the Goan shrimp.
The last time I ate at Jaipur Grille, it was part of a large group dinner when a friend's family was visiting, and I didn't get to do the ordering.
re: prima
I pretty much have a set menu at Indian Restaurants:
Lamb Vindaloo (spicey)
Butter Chicken (occasionally)
Lots of Naan
Aloo gobi
Raita (yogurt w/ mint and/or cucumber)
Daal Makni
Chicken Tikka
It's a pretty un-adventerous menu other than the lamb vindaloo (which can be quite spicey), but pretty damn delicious. The naan with the raita with the daal and then the proteins.. so good.
re: justxpete
When I'm at Northern Indian restaurants, I often order aloo gobi, channa masala, mutter paneer, sag aloo or sag paneer, but I also like ordering seafood curries and tandoori dishes, and any somewhat less common vegetable dishes. Haven't ordered much vindaloo lately- it's been a while!
re: justxpete
Thanks for posting your typical set menu, Pete. It's neat to see what others tend to order.
When I'm at Northern Indian restaurants, I often order samosas, aloo gobi, channa masala, mutter paneer, sag aloo or sag paneer, but I also like ordering seafood curries and tandoori dishes, and any somewhat less common vegetable dishes. Haven't ordered much vindaloo lately- it's been a while!
re: justxpete
For your menu Selection you Should give Kathmandu on young a try, their daal makhani, chicken vindaloo, chicken biryani, okra masala, matter paneer is really good
re: akhorasanee
Thanks Akhor. Will definitely give it a try next time we're in the mood for Indian.
I think Aravind may have closed.
Their voice mailbox is full - and no lights on.
But no notice on the door.
I hope not - IMO it was the finest Indian restaurant still standing when I last went in early December.
Jaipur Grill is OK - tried it again (last year) after others' recommended and it was fine - but never went back as I preferred others.
And add me to the Lahore Tikka House 'haters' - yes, it reminds me of India - but the food is overcooked, overspiced, and doesn't even look attractive.
re: estufarian
I hope the owners are just on holiday. It seems most Indian people I know visit India in December, January or February.
re: estufarian
I hope not, lets hope a poorly communicated vacation closing.
Nice folks but they have always been really poor at any kind of communication. Create twitter, tweet for a week, just drop it, create facebook page, post for about a week, just drop it, register a web domain but never put up a web site, you get the idea...
re: estufarian
+1 for the LTH haters!
re: bringonthelbs
Another +1 LTH hater. I find the food also overcooked, extremely greasy as in swimming in it, and overly salty. The setting is like sitting in a run down alleyway. Sure it's cheap but so is Mcdonald's.
I like Indian Rice Factory, Copper Chimney and Banjara on Eglinton.
Aravind on Danforth was a new favourite of mine. The food was sophisticated yet authentic. Sadly it has closed.
re: pluckypear
This reply is six months after you posted, but I thought I'd mention that the Star analysed the LTH vegetable sizzler for fat and salt, the results were a complete fail. You can read "Lahore Tikka House's Veggies sizzler packs a sodium surprise" here -> http://www.thestar.com/life/health_we...
Bye the way, I heard on the radio today that the owner of LTH died of a heart attack last week at the age of 48. http://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine...
re: estufarian
What would be your first choice?
I recently went to Amaya on Bayview in December and we enjoyed it. Service was quick, polite, and warm. Food was very flavourful and well spiced. It wasn't the biggest Indian portions I've ever recieved (that award goes to the restaurants in Brampton) but they did fill us up nicely. I would really recommend their halibut in banana leaf. It was juicy and great use of spices.
I'm gonna throw Anjappar Chettinad in the mix if your daughter is serious about food and wants something different from the usual Punjabi.
re: linalool
That my be true, but as you say it's still pretty tasty.

Just as with Ben Affleck on the feature film side, three actors turned TV helmers reaped bids from the Directors Guild of America Wednesday.
Louis C.K. contends for directing the "New Year's Eve" episode of his FX laffer "Louie"; Lena Dunham is up for the pilot of her HBO series "Girls"; and three-time Emmy winner Bryan Cranston landed a nod for overseeing "Election Day" on "Modern Family."
The other laffmeisters in the mix are Mark Cendrowski for "The Date Night Variable" episode of "The Big Bang Theory" and Beth McCarthy-Miller, who handled the "Live From Studio 6H" episode of "30 Rock." McCarthy-Miller is a two-time DGA champ for overseeing live programs "America: A Tribute to Heroes" and "Saturday Night Live."
On the drama front, "Homeland" picked up two bids for returning nominees: Lesli Linka Glatter for "Q&A" and Michael Cuesta for "The Choice." The other helmers in the running are Jennifer Getzinger who contends again for "Mad Men" ("A Little Kiss") and DGA newcomers Rian Johnson for "Breaking Bad" ("Fifty One") and Greg Mottola for "The Newsroom" ("We Just Decided To").
Jay Roach won an Emmy for directing the telefilm "Game Change" and faces off against two of his Emmy rivals -- Philip Kaufman ("Hemingway and Gellhorn") and Kevin Reynolds ("Hatfields and McCoys") -- as well as Greg Berlanti ("Political Animals") and Michael Rymer ("American Horror Story: Asylum").
Winners will be revealed at the 65th annual DGA Awards on Feb. 2. Kelsey Grammer is hosting these kudos at the Hollywood & Highland complex in Los Angeles.

Libba Bray's Going Bovine is the story of 16-year-old Cameron who has always dealt with life in a standoff manner, trying to avoid social contact with his peers. Things start to get interesting for him when he begins seeing objects that others seem to miss. While alone at home he hears a noise and discovers a feather, which leads him on a roller coaster of events and introduces him to some unlikely folks.
Cameron's parents fear that drugs must be a factor so they send him to doctors and psychologists to figure out exactly what's going on with their son, as he is still seeing things that others can't possibly be seeing. Finally, they find a doctor who unveils the mystery of what's happening to him--Mad Cow Disease…and he's going to die.

How to disable lock screen notifications for specific Passbook cards
If you use Passbook frequently on your iPhone, you may have noticed that certain passes use your location in order to give you easy access on your lock screen to a specific pass when you're within the vicinity. Some of those passes may contain personal information or allow for someone to charge an item to a gift card or account.
If you'd like to prevent unauthorized access to your passes, you can easily do so within Passbook. Follow along and we'll show you how.
- Launch the Passbook app on the Home screen of your iPhone.
- Find the pass that uses location services to show on your lock screen and bring it up.
- Tap the Info button that is represented by a lowercase "i" in the bottom right hand corner to flip the pass over.
- You'll see an option for Show On Lock Screen. Turn this setting to Off.
That particular pass will no longer show up on your lock screen when you're within the vicinity. Alternately, you can always disable access to Passbook from the lock screen to take care of any concerns you may have with unauthorized use.

How to disable lock screen notifications for specific Passbook cards
Yes you only see it on the passes that are set up to use location services and show on your lock screen. Some don't have that capability. With Starbucks, I am assuming you haven't set a home store or you don't have that enabled which is why you don't see it.
Thanks for the tip. Always good to know how to turn off the unwanted notifications.
useful tip. i personally like having the notifications
You can globally turn off all Passbook notifications via the settings menu. You only have to go into the app to do it one by one, if you desire, by modifying the individual passes.
Thanks for the tip. Some passes location services can get really annoying.
It's the little tips like this that keep me from going crazy and throwing my phone! Thanks Allison!

England's all-too-familiar exit from a major tournament means Manchester United have only one representative left at Euro 2012.
Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Ashley Young and Phil Jones are all out after Roy Hodgson's side lost the Kiev quarter-final 4-2 on penalties to Italy, while Nani stays on for the semi-finals with Portugal.
The Italians were ultimately worthy winners, even if they only had a 0-0 draw to show for their superior efforts after extra-time against the resilient Three Lions. But to lose on penalties is always cruel, and particularly so on this occasion for United winger Young who smashed his kick against the crossbar when he could have put England 3-2 up in the shoot-out. When the subsequent penalties were missed by Ashley Cole and scored by Alessandro Diamanti, Italy were through to face Germany in the last four.
One of England's best moves in the match itself featured a one-two link-up between Rooney and Welbeck, who joined Young in keeping their places in an unchanged team. Welbeck received a back-heel from his strike partner before sidefooting his shot high and wide in the 32nd minute. Rooney had earlier gone closer to scoring when he dived to meet Glen Johnson's right-wing cross, only for his header under pressure to clear Gianluigi Buffon's crossbar. Johnsen had forced Buffon's first save of the game when he burst into the area inside the opening five minutes.
Despite this handful of chances, it was Italy who dominated the play in the first period and provided the more regular threat of a breakthrough with Juventus' former Milan playmaker Andrea Pirlo pulling the strings and Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli testing his club colleagues Joleon Lescott at centre-back and goalkeeper Joe Hart.

In an interview that will air Sunday on ABC, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner says, ""We have much, much lower risk of [a double-dip recession] today than at any time over the last 12 months or so … We are in an economy that was growing at the rate of almost 6 percent of GDP in the fourth quarter of last year. The most rapid rate in six years. So we are beginning the process of healing."

This week: Fee facts 101
Silicon Valley venture capital investors — the people who pour millions into tech startups in the hopes of selling them later for billions — are beginning to worry that low interest rates might be inflating a tech bubble.
A new NerdWallet study examined the trading patterns of online investors and found that they are overpaying by more than $1.8 billion per year. NerdWallet Study Key Findings:
By Emerging Money:
By Jonathan Yates
For a dividend paying stock, traditionally an investor would not search for companies in the high tech sector. Many tech companies felt that capital that could have gone to shareholders in the form of a dividend payment was better deployed for research and development, or in buying a new company.
By BubbleBustInvesting:With the Fed keeping interest rates at record low levels, chasing after high-dividend paying stocks has been a popular trade among retail investors in the last two years and will most likely be for the next two years.
One of the most common pitfalls of everyday investors is slipping into a "set it and forget it" mentality. You might sit down with your broker or financial advisor or review your employer-provided 401(k) once a year, but for for the most part, you put your faith in someone else's hands. That's when seemingly harmless fees are free to fester.

What is some of the best career advice you've ever received? We'd love to hear about it in the comments below!
Hike Beyond the Plateau
Oftentimes in our corporate (or even personal) lives, we reach a particular plateau. Perhaps your job has become stagnant, you're not feeling as creative or your abilities have reached beyond your job description. Whatever the case may be, you aren't bound by your surroundings. At Sherpa, we're in the business of hiking beyond the corporate plateau and helping our job seekers achieve their business goals.
So here's what you do:
- Make a plan. Sure, it may seem cliché, but even the best hikers carry a map. Figure out where your peak is—a promotion, a new industry, etc.
- Take the steps. Know where you want to go? Next, figure out how to get there. Sometimes hiking beyond the plateau involves going through a valley first, but you at least have your destination in sight.
- Lean on us. Think of us as your trustiest pair of hiking shoes. Call on Sherpa to help you take that next employment step. We'll work to place you in exactly the right place.
What does your final, business destination look like? We'd love to know your business goals!

Resolve to Climb the Corporate Ladder in 2014
The New Year is all about new opportunities—new wardrobe, new exercise routine, new diet. Why not apply similar resolutions to your work life? At Sherpa, professional development is important to us; not just internally but for the employees we place as well. We love nothing more than hearing stories of our employees climbing the corporate ladder in a company we've placed them in.
Let us help you do the same! Make 2014 a year of growth, both personally and corporately. Here are a few takeaways to get you there:
- Be Innovative. Solve problems, find new paths, develop a new, profitable initiative. Your bosses want to see that you're forward thinking and dedicated to your job.
- Get Involved. Raise your hand and involve yourself in as many good opportunities as you can. If there's a new project launching, a new committee forming or a leadership training program starting, sign up! Look for opportunities where you can rise to the top and stand out.
- Mentor and be mentored. Seek out someone higher up or more experienced than you to be your corporate mentor. Allow them to pour into you and help you navigate the corporate waters. Do the same for any new employees in the building. Not only will it cultivate a cohesive team mentality, it will show your bosses that you're a leader.
"In today's corporate environment it's your responsibility to take ownership of your career path. Gone are the days of guaranteed raises and/or annual promotions. If you want a raise, a promotion, a new role, you have to ask for it and have the supporting business case to prove that you deserve it. Be realistic, know your environment, and always be professional in your approach." – Kori Renn, Sherpa Senior Account Manager

Top Interview Questions to Ask an Employer
At the end of a job interview, you typically have the opportunity to ask your potential employer a few questions. Rather than saying, "No" and heading out the door, try these top questions that will show your interviewer that you're serious about the job and prepared for the interview:
- How would you describe the responsibilities of the position?
- What does a typical week/day look like in this position?
- If I am extended a job offer, how soon would you like me to start?
- How would you describe the company's culture and leadership philosophy?
- What is the single largest problem facing your staff, and would I be in a position to help you solve this problem?
- How does this position fit into the company's long-term plans?
- What's the most important thing I can accomplish in the first 60 days?
- How will you judge my success and determine if I have met your expectations?
With these questions in hand, you'll be able to create a thoughtful, engaging dialogue between you and the interviewer (and hopefully score some bonus points at the same time).
Finding Your Next Opportunity Doesn't Have to be Scary
Spooked by the idea of looking for a new opportunity? You aren't alone. The 2013 Job Interview Anxiety Survey conducted by Harris Interactive for Everest College found that 92% of American's fear some part of the job search process. From not being qualified to not being prepared to simply being nervous, the list of job search anxiety triggers is lengthy. In more than 25 years working with job seekers Sherpa's own Melissa McGuire has seen these stressors firsthand. McGuire notes that for employed job seekers, confidentiality is a significant fear, as candidates don't want their current employer to know they're looking. For others, the uncertainty of the overall process (which can entail sending resumes and not hearing back, interviewing with individuals and companies you don't know much about, not knowing how long it will take to find a role, etc.) can be unnerving.
So how do you alleviate these fears? McGuire recommends working with a trusted and highly effective recruiter who will work to understand your skills and will become your advocate in the marketplace while maintaining your confidentiality. Additionally, a trusted recruiter can help negate the uncertainty by: a) providing you with the supply and demand trends for your skills, b) offering feedback on your resume and the interviews you go on and, c) potentially helping you secure contract roles to pay the bills and build skills while looking for a full time role.
