Weber Charcoal Grill Question
- CindyJ Jul 21, 2010 06:46 AM
After 20+ years using gas grills, I'm about to transition back to charcoal. I've heard people sing the praises of the Big Green Egg, but that's too pricey an investment for me as a charcoal "newbie." I'm considering the Weber One-Touch Gold 26.75" because my son just bought a 22.5" Performer and told me he thinks I'd find that cooking surface too small. So here's my question: When using a grill as large as 26.75", if I'm only cooking for two, do I need to fill it with loads of charcoal, or is it just as efficient to build a smaller fire with fewer chunks?
Interesting question. I'd be surprised if you think the 22.5 is too small for 2 people. What kinds of things are you going to be cooking?
As far as the charcoal, I think you will need to put a bit more into the 26 compared to the 22.5, but not lots. When cooking with charcoal, most of the time you mound the coals on one half of the grill and use the other side as a "roasting" side or a safe area where you can quickly pull items away from the direct fire where it might be cooking too fast (burning). No matter the size of the grill (within reason - we're not talking about the Weber Ranch Kettle) this type of cooking will not require more or less charcoal for the most part.
With that said, why not buy the 22.5 and use the extra bit of cash to buy this: http://www.cast-iron-grate.com/ I guarantee it will make your son jealous. :-)
I have a 22.5 myself and cook for 2 people unless we have folks over for dinner for instance. I have a cast iron grate but it's simply a Lodge grill topper, not the big thing I linked to above.
One more thing. Seek out some quality lump charcoal. It is a great investment and while people claim it is more expensive than briquettes they are right, but hardwood lump is also reusable. Shut down the dampers and the fire goes out. You can reuse the un burned chucnks in your next fire. You can't do that with briquettes and re use them. I compare a bag of lump charcoal to a propane tank. Both cost about the same and both last about the same amount of time, but I don't hear people complaining that their propane is "too expensive." It goes without saying that you need to buy a charcoal chimney no matter what kind of charcoal you ultimately decide on. If you use lighter fluid you might as well stand in your front yard, wave a flag with "Dumbass" written on it, and tell people to throw eggs at your face. Ha! ;-)
re: Shaw Oliver
Most of the time I'll only be cooking for two, but there are plenty of times when there will be more. I think one of the reasons my son made that observation is because my present gas grill has an additional "half-shelf" that's raised that I use for grilling veggies or toasting burger buns while the rest of the food cooks on the regular grill surface.
There really is a significant cost difference between the 22.5" (~$149) and the 26.75" (~$299). I'm going to have an up-close look at both of them today. The larger one has a few features that the smaller one doesn't. The larger one has a lid holder (that's really important to me), a thermometer (less important), and, I believe, a larger ash receptacle. Is that all worth paying twice the price? I don't really know. The larger one also comes with side baskets for setting up an indirect heat zone; I'm not sure if the smaller one does too.
I LOVE the idea of the cast iron grate. and that's something I'd definitely consider if I go with the 22.5". I'm already in your camp with regard to lump hardwood; in fact, experimenting with various hardwoods is one of the reasons I want to switch away from gas. The cost of the propane never really phased me because we've had a direct hookup to a larger propane tank. But not being "tethered" to that tank will be another advantage because I'll have more options regarding where to keep the grill.
Can you please say a little more about reusing the unburned hardwood chunks? How, exactly, do you do that?
re: CindyJ
>>Can you please say a little more about reusing the unburned _hardwood chunks_? How, exactly, do you do that?<<
Reusing hardwood *lump charcoal* chunks is done just as it sounds: After you're done grilling on Friday, for example, you shut the vents on the Weber and the fire extinguishes. You are then left with charcoal chunks (or briquettes) that did not completely burn.
When you're firing up the grill on Sunday, you take these "charcoal leftovers" and put them in your handy-dandy chimney (http://bit.ly/dbfzE1 ), top the chimney up with more lump charcoal as needed, and fire it up!
Also, you might be able to find a restaurant supply store in your area that sells bigger size bags of lump charcoal. I'm able to buy 20 lb. bags of Royal Oak lump for ~$8/bag (http://bit.ly/avcuQC ), which is actually cheaper than the equivalent amount Kingsford Competition briquettes. The lump may not last quite as long as briquettes, but it's close enough, and I don't have to worry about all of the by-products in briquettes.
re: Joe Blowe
Exactly. The dampers effectively close off the oxygen supply and the fire goes out. I usually fill about 1/2 to 2/3 of my charcoal chimney with leftover charcoal and then top it off with some new stuff.
re: Joe Blowe
FWIW, I reuse briquets all the time. i try to spread the briquets around a little if I can, sometimes squirt a little water on them if it is still super hot, close all vents and voila--charcoal for next time. So it's not just the hardwood that you can do this with. Also, I love my lid holder---a lot. I don't know why you'd need the side baskets--you can just do piles for indirect heat.
re: Shaw Oliver
I am now officially the owner of the Weber Performer and I'm going to buy the cast iron grate. I do have a question about cleaning it, though. Can it be cleaned with a typical grill brush, or will the brush remove the seasoning, leaving the grate to rust? What's the best way to care for this grate?
re: CindyJ
as a lump charcoal, high heat kinda guy the coating left my cast iron grate pretty early on.
now i just fire it up, let it burn for a bit, give it a few firm passes with my grill brush then swab it with a clump of paper towels dipped in peanut oil and i'm good to go.
re: ScubaSteve
Was it the heat that did it in? That almost seems counter-intuitive.
re: CindyJ
yup. but that just comes with the territory.
re: ScubaSteve
So you mean the cast iron grate I paid $86 for that just got delivered yesterday is likely going to lose its seasoned coating? Sheeeeesh! BTW - is it going to get rusty when the coating is gone?
re: CindyJ
if you treat it as i have treated mine (red hot coals and lots of them) then probably.
i get some rusting, but that's no biggie for me as it comes right off after a few passes with the grill brush.
you could always give it a shot of veggie oil spray as part of you're post-grilling clean-up.
re: ScubaSteve
crisco veg shortening works wonders to season a grate
re: CindyJ
high heat will aid in seasoning. Super high heat will burn it right off. Lump and other charcoal gets really hot. really really hot.
As said above, oil it down after every use, it should prevent a lot of rusting. For cast iron used inside the house, I wouldn't say that. But outside, it's fine. The bottom of the grates will get rusted, unless you life them up and oil it. But who cares. Your food never touches that.
If you don't use high heat you can develop a beautiful seasoning on naked cast iron grates. My buddies mom has an old ass weber gas grill with bare cast iron. Due to its age it never gets super hot, which is a good thing. The seasoning on it is so deep and black, she can grill a fish and not one speck of skin ever sticks to the grate. I'm quite jealous.
re: deeznuts
Should the grates be oiled while they're still hot, or after they've cooled down?
re: CindyJ
while hot
re: jnk
It really is a big grill. If I was cooking for a family of 4+ big eaters I'd buy the 26.75 but the 22.5 is really quite sufficient.
As for the lid rest, etc. You can purchase those as add ons for the 22.5. In fact, if you buy the 22.5 Performer (good investment, I think) there is a lid rest built into the cart system. The 22.5 Performer also has a thermometer in the lid. The ash receptacle isn't a problem on my 22.5. I empty it every 7 or 8 times I grill - maybe more, maybe less. If you use hardwood charcoal, you don't have to worry about significant ash build up. Briquettes create appalling amount of dense, heavy ash because of what is in them. You can also buy a rotisserie addition for the 22.5. To my knowledge you can't buy that for the 26.75.
Point is, the 22.5 is really the standard Weber charcoal grill. Replacement parts are going to be much easier to find and more toys are available for the 22.5.
I'm not trying to sway you too much (I don't have any personal interest of course) but just to let you know what is out there.
re: Shaw Oliver
Oh - you're not getting rid of your gas grill are you? Unless it's completely worn out and rusted through, I'd say have both. I do. I inherited a nice gas grill from my Dad when he got a new one (long story).
re: jnk
I looked at the 22.5" a little while ago, and the size seems quite adequate. Now I'm contemplating the matter of the lid holder. Maybe the Performer is the way for me to go. If I got the 22.5" Gold, I'd have to buy a separate side table to use with it (I really don't like the Weber accessory table) as well as the lid holder accessory. Also, as Shaw Oliver says, there are more "toys" available for the 22.5. I think I've made a decision. Thanks!
If only cooking for two, and cooking indirect it will take more coals to get to the same temp in a bigger grill. That's just plain physics (or science or whatever :P)
If cooking direct, it won't matter much.
What city are you in? My solution. Buy two 22's. Off craigslist. I collect old kettles in good condition in colors you can't get today. $30-40 is what I pay.
re: CindyJ
the weber cookbook series are great by Jaime Purviance (check the spelling). I just picked up Adam Perry Lang's Serious BBQ and his recipes look good, if more advance/complicated than most bbq/grilling recipes. I've tried one and it's fantastic, but again, more complicated than most.
Coming back to charcoal maybe pick up Weber's way to grill. Gives you some techniques on charcoal grilling. Just learn how to grill indirect, build 2-3 zone fires etc.
re: CindyJ
Smoke and Spice, by Jamison and Jamison.
re: CindyJ
We recently got our first grill (charcoal), and the most helpful thing has been watching grilling shows on TV. Primal Grill with Steve Raichlen is brilliant. He grills everything from whole animals to tofu, and really stresses details. Some of his food has been cooked directly on the coals (eggplant, corn, steaks), and it looks amazing. Bobby Flay has some good shows, too. So as they say, check your local listings.
re: Channa
I agree, though I find Raichlen a better study. He is just about the ultimate geek though - not exactly the guy I would hire to do TV. Quite awkward.
I like Weber's Big Book of Grilling. I also like Hot Barbecue by Hugh Carpenter. I can't stand Steve Raichlen but I make Bobby Flay's recipes all the time.
Most important--you must get a Weber chimney starter--not a generic one. There is a big difference.
I gotta say, I just got the 18.5" One-Touch Gold, and it's perfectly fine for two people. I did 4 large chicken legs and 4 veggie skewers tonight, and that was an awful lot of food for two of us. A smaller grill is going to heat faster and use less charcoal. Unless you really spend a lot of time entertaining other families, just buy the smallest you can get away with.
The 18.5" fits great on my balcony, which is what primarily influenced my decision. I don't regret it at all.
look into the big steel keg. its a kamado style like the egg, but metal, and thus lighter and cheaper.
i'm in love w/ mine. i've probably grilled and bbq'd more this year, than all my previous life combined
One thing you can do for smaller cooks -- get yourself some fire bricks at your local masonry supply store (or spend a little more on the Ace Hardware ones), and use them to concentrate the coals into a smaller cooking area. You can probably get by with a half-chimney or less doing it that way.
However, you may not need anything bigger than the 22.5. I've done as many as 3 racks of ribs when I set the grill up for indirect cooking. That's quite a bit of meat.
re: bagofwater
Do you do those using a rack that holds them vertically? I can't imagine having enough indirect heat space on a 22.5 otherwise.
re: CindyJ
I always do ribs in a rack, lean bone side towards heat for most of the cook and lean the other way for the last hour or so. Slow cooking ribs is 4-6 hours depending on how hot you get them.
re: CindyJ
I've used a rack in the past. You can encounter difficulties in getting good even caramelization on your ribs, though. I was also able to organize 3 racks (racks, not slabs) of trimmed spares on my cooking space. Here's a picture of my setup.
I've also seen setups on the 22" where the coals were pushed to underneath 1/4 of the grill area, in a pie slice shape. This is particularly effective when using the cast iron grates with the removable quartiles.
re: bagofwater
So 3/4 of the grill space is used for indirect heat? Is there enough heat from the coals in the remaining 1/4? And, please tell me again how that firebrick works.
re: CindyJ
In my setup, it's more like 2/3 of the grill. The 1/4 setup seems to provide plenty of heat, from what I've read. I know when I fill my 2/3 setup up with coals, I'm more worried about there being TOO MUCH heat rather than not enough.
The fire brick setup is simple. Just set them up on their sides, across the grill, allowing them to overlap by an inch or two. This gives you a bin which you can fill with fuel. Add 6-8 lit coals to the top of your unlit fuel, and you'll have several hours of indirect cooking time. The fire bricks help to regulate the heat in the grill in addition to keeping your coals to the side.
re: bagofwater
Sorry, I'm just not understanding. In your photo above, you have a firebrick on TOP of the cooking grate, yet now it sounds like you're saying to put them below to create a "divider." I thought, based on your photo, that you were placing firebricks on the cooking surface to provide more heat to the ribs. My grill came with two semi-circular pans which can be used to hold the coals while they're heating and then moved to create hot/warm cooking zones. And, whereas I'm likely to add UNlit coals to my lit fuel to keep the fire going, I'm really confused as to when I'd add LIT coals on top of unlit ones. Sorry if I'm being dense; I'm really trying to understand.
re: CindyJ
You're not being dense. I'm probably just doing a poor job of explaining.
FYI... I was just using the brick on top as a heat sink. It can be used to prevent radiant heat from reaching your meat (it's one of many methods to use -- more than one way to skin a cat).
Here is a link to a forum with a better visual example of how to set up your kettle: http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9... (go down to about the 7th message).
Also, the method of placing unlit on lit is called the Minion method (on BBQ forums, you'll see it abbreviated MM). Probably your best bet is to Google "minion method kettle." You'll find a wealth of information, with helpful pics as well.
Good luck, and if you have any other questions, just post another question and I'll do my best to answer.

Legislative update for May 27, 2011 (morning)
I am forty seven years old. I can't make up the time from my 20s and 30s to invest in a 401K plan now! I will be living in poverty without the pension. I am single now but maybe I should get married like women used to have to do. I worked in the private sector for 20 years previously and there was no retirment plan offered. So, I had social security which I won't get if I take my pension. What to do? I am thoroughly disgusted!
How the SB512 amendment explicitly does not violate the Illinois
In Article XIII, Section 5 of the Constitution (the "Pension Protection
Clause"), it is stated, "Membership in any pension or retirement system of the State, any unit of local government or school district, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, shall be an enforceable contractual relationship, the benefits of which shall not be diminished or impaired."
Already made my calls and urged everyone I know to make calls of their own. Thank you, IEA, for all you do on our behalf to keep us informed and help stop attacks on collective bargaining, teachers, and education.
Why are corporate interests fighting for this bill to pass? What does it have to do with them?
The wealthy and their corporations are getting nervous about Illinois's bond rating, and they are 1) determined to avoid being taxed at normal state levels (e.g., with a progressive rather than flat tax), and 2) determined to maintain the high levels of corruption that have helped get us into this mess.
What gives you (politicians) the right to take away an EARNED benefit from teachers, firefighters, policeman, and other public employees? We have held up our end of the bargain in regards to investing towards our future. Municipalities and government has FAILED to live up to their end of the deal. All public employees have invested his or her HARD EARNED money into a retirement fund many did not have a choice in paying into. Now because the State of Illinois is in financial disarray due to poor financial planning by our political leaders they want to take OUR HARD EARNED money away from us. What about pension reform for our Senators? Representatives? Judges? No we wouldn't want to touch your pension but you will go after those that protect your streets, educate your children, and put the fires out. Any Illinois politician that is in favor of reducing, cutting, or eliminating public employees hard EARNED money you physically make me sick! You all should be ashamed of yourselves! For those of our represenatices and senators that have voted to save and protect public employee pensions THANK YOU!
Actually, this bill doesn't take away anything teachers have already earned. It only affects the future accrual of benefits.
At the very worst teachers will keep 100% of everything they have already earned up to this point and get a 6% match into a 401(k) style pension plan in the future.
In the 401(k) option teachers take home pay will actually increase if teachers select to contribute anything less than the current 9.4%. For example if teachers select to have 6% deducted from their pay their to max the matching contributions, their take home pay will increase by 3.4%. If the elect to have no pension at all then their take home pay will increase 9.4%.
I have the bill in front of me. it will force me to work 6 more years to retire and cost me an additional 48K + to assist in funding that! So lets figure this out when I haven't had a raise in 3 years now, you want to tack on additional earnings to fund more of my own retirement? I entered into a contract 20 years ago that I would take a couple bucks an hour less than those around me in the private sector, knowing….or foolishly thinking, that the agreement at that time was, I'd work my time, contribute my rate of 9.5% per pay check to SURS, and retire on the year and percentage mark promised on the date shown me when I hired in. Now you want the rules changed at the start of the 4th quarter of the game I'm playing in. This is being done strictly so the state will have people working so long, they will die before they have to pay out, or not pay out very long….then keep the remainder.
SURS was fine until all the criminals in Springfield "borrowed" , the down state term would be "stole" , 2 billion dollars to support social B.S. programs and never paid it back. I say send anyone that voted to borrow from the pension system to jail for theft! Plus stealing once wasn't good enough for the LIbs, then they capped earnings on SURS investetments at 8%. Anything made over 8% ….the state kept…and undoubtedly squandered on B.S.
"I entered into a contract 20 years ago that I would take a couple bucks an hour less than those around me in the private sector"
Don't teachers in the private sector work for considerably less than public school teachers? And I believe they don't have public pensions either.
I know a few private & parochial school teachers, and they teach at some really great schools but they don't make squat in comparison to public school teachers in the surrounding districts.
I'm just wondering where you got your statistics?
Made all my calls yesterday. Then I started calling all the teachers I had numbers for in my area and asked them to make their calls. Both retired and active (young and veteran) responded with "Will do". I am so proud to see young teachers for stepping up and understanding the critical nature of this bill. More importantly, I am proud they are taking action.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
It's a joy and comfort to send our son to Hatikvah. The teachers go above and beyond and are very attentive and helpful. This is a well-run school and the building is spacious, clean and organized well. Truly A+ from us and tremendous peace of mind as we start another school year. Now back to my empty house :)
Are those bad reviews posted by someone from board of education fighting to close this school? Because they sounds awfully similar and written in the same style. Besides, doesn't sound like real experience I've heard about from people whose kids attending this school. My son is going next year and I am excited for him. Don't post if you don't have children there, it is easy to uncover trolls these days.
It doesn't only teach Hebrew as extra language . It teaches more about Israeli culture !!!
I feel even one star is too much for this school. Teacher seems to have a lack of experience most of them recently graduate with really terrible attitude , they expect that kids most know everything from home . I feel even they have preference , they not treat kids equally . Principal too has the concept of my way or high way which is really un professional at all. No encourage for kids what so ever . I feel that this school is open for certain people that is why they make us suffer to take our kids from this school and save a spot for them. I wish that the board of education did not approve that wasting of our tax on that school .
Exceptionally run, clean, well-designed school. Extremely close attention is give to each student by all faculty and staff. Kids do not feel lost in the shuffle or on their own at Hatikvah. Very happy parent here!
Experience at this school is not pleasant. The parents have to correct the homework that is supposedly being corrected by teachers. They just check I guess if the homework is submitted but nothing to do with if the work is correct or giving any notes for the improvements to the children. No encouragement is given to the children or encouraging the motivated children. Resolving issues is terrible. I am not sure how this school is being ranked for 10/10. No structure is established in guiding or teaching children. Adminitration/ informing parents about who is working at the front desk is kept anonymous. Everyday someone new works at the front desk. Most of the school year they do not take children out side or play out side. parents are uninformed what children are learning. No proper measurements are taking in improving the children's ability/skills. So much of a gossip. There is only one way, high way or no way kind of attitude. Disrespect to the parents with the internal politics by the teachers and administrative/ supervisors. constantly finding strategies blaming parents to solve an issue or guilt trip them to hide their wrong doings.
Hatikvah has exceeded my expectations of my son's education. I have 2 boys in public school and the difference in the quality of education is mind boggling. I had heard how wonderful Hatikvah, but being a part of it has blown me away! My son loves his school and looks forward to going each and every day. The teachers, principal and administration are extremely accessible and helpful. The kids are learning and enjoying every minute of it. I receive weekly updates from the teachers of everything that they studied over the week. I could go on and on!!!
Hatikvah International Academy Charter School is amazing. The staff is very caring and goes above a beyond what we have seen in other schools. This multi cultural school is the real world today. My son is already asking to learn a 3rd language. My child is challenged daily by the teachers. We could not be more happy that New Jersey allows this choice for my child.
Amazing school!! My kids are thriving in this school thanks to individualized attention with at least 2 teachers in every class.
I choose to send my two children to Hatikvah and they both love going to school each day. They are academically challenged and the teachers seem to always know what they need. The only turnover in this school comes from teachers who prefer not to go the extra ten miles for kids or who don't know how. It's better than a private school and we're lucky to have it as an option.
My child used to attend this school. The current administrator has a high staff turnover rate. She does not under the developmental level of the students. I did not feel comfortable my child attending a school with majority of teachers having experience with less than three years. Once I found out my child's Hebrew teachers were UNCERTIFIED teachers, I had to take my child out of this school. I do want my child to be educated by uncertified teachers especially since it against the law!
Everyone goes the extra mile to educate our children! This school provides a top notch academic curriculum. I highly recommend this school.
Hatikvah International Academy Charter School is a wonderful school with the most caring teachers and staff. My children are able to work at their own level and have learned so much. The ratio of teacher to student is 1:11 which enables the teachers to push the students where their strengths are. The children are learning another language and the school is multi cultural which mimics the real world. They learn about all different cultlures and I couldn't be happier.

Great ethnic food in Alameda?
Hi: Looking for a nice ethnic place to take my son to lunch in Alameda after picking him up at Oakland airport. Years ago I went to a nice, local Mexican place, famous for carne asada, but cannot recall the name or location. Quaint street. Any suggestions? We are open to anything ethnic and fun.
re: JoyM
I live here in Alameda for the past 13 yrs.. The truth is Ethnic is is a bit lacking here in the sense of delivering excellent quality.. e.g Flavors of India is no Vic's Chaat House of Spice Hut.. Penca Azul is awesome for their drinks food is quite another matter it is so so... I've been to all of the places mentioned some more than once or twice more than I should just to make sure that I didn't catch the chef/cook on an off day and believe when I say I can count the ones I do go back to on one hand.. Troy's, Toomie's for thai food, and the BEST place to eat here in Alameda is SCOLARI'S @ 1303 Park St ..It just doesn't get better than this...Mike takes fresh local seriously and does an awesome job with creativity.... the best part of the experience is the fact that you order and can go hang out next door at LUCKY 13 where the food will be brought over and where the best beer selection on the island is available for consumption..... On any given nights foodies, wine & beer geeks can be found picking up takeout, chowing down at the hole in wall joint or next door at Lucky 13.... I have had just about everything Scolaris can think of dishing out and have never been disappointed - from great salads, hamburgers, sandwiches,soups, stromboli, killa east coast slice pizzas etc... or their daily specials that can be found on their board (usually posted by 11:30am every morning on their facebook page "Scolari's Good Eats") hush puppies, chicken and waffles & the specialty burgers - that some have concluded is the best in the bay area!!! And to boot they are open pretty late most nights compare to most places in this town.. Try it & ENJOY!!!

Hmmm ... good ethnic, yes. Great? I don't know. There are several Mexican restaurants in Alameda, but I'm not aware that any are famous for their carne asada. Since you said "quaint street" I'm going to assume you meant Park St. rather than Webster St.; Webster is also a couple of miles farther from the airport. That said, two of the better "ethnic" options in Alameda are on Webster: Otaez for Mexican and East Ocean for dim sum at lunch.
Back on Park St. the best Mexican is probably the La Penca Azul (formerly La Pinata #3), which may be where you ate before. The best Chinese option on Park St. is Ark, especially for their hand-pulled noodles. For Thai there's King of Thai Noodles, for Indian there's Flavors of India, for Vietnamese Pho Little Saigon or Dragon Rouge (may qualify as more "fun"). I haven't heard anything particularly good about the new Cambodian place, the Aghan kabob place didn't look prepossessing. I've heard good things about the Greek place -- Troy -- though.
Maybe the most interesting would be the Alameda branch of Burma Super Star, which is reputed to be one of the better branches.
I'm not sure what people consider "fun" -- for me, the most fun place for lunch on Park St. is Ole's Waffle Shop, because of its old-fashioned (genuine, not retro) diner atmosphere. Depending on how old your son is, he may enjoy a place like Quickly, with Asian snacks and drinks.

re: Ruth Lafler
Thank you! That is very helpful. I dug back through very old emails and found it was Otaez; however, the current reviews aren't so stellar. I will check out both La Penca Azul and Burma Superstar, which sounds intriguing, and give him a choice. My son is an adult and very much enjoys local, ethnic places that are authentic. A food adventure, as it were. Thanks again.

re: annie44
If Webster St. is in the mix I'd give serious consideration to East Ocean. It's solidly good dim sum in a very nice atmosphere and I always think dim sum is fun.
If you're going to Park St. you can just park you car and walk around until you see something that strikes your fancy -- with a couple of exceptions, all the places I mentioned are within a couple of blocks of each other.
One more suggestion: if you're foodies, you might want to check out the Alameda Marketplace (1650 Park St. at Buena Vista) -- either get some terrific pizza from the wood burning oven at East End Pizza or just browse the excellent bakery and cheese shop and have lunch across the street at King of Thai Noodle.

re: Ruth Lafler
As an aside the drinks at Tapioca Express, near Dragon Rouge, are a lot less sweet than Quickly.
Ramiro Brothers is not fun, but they have a good burrito and I like the carnitas and the chicharrones. The super quesidilla is also good and messy.
Burma Super Star has very tasty different food and a nice ambiance, but it is pricey and the portions keep shrinking. But, if you do go, try the Rainbow or Tea Leaf salads.
Angelfish Japanese has very fresh sushi. Its located on Harbor Bay Island which is close to the airport.
The Hob Nob is not ethnic but the place and the food are both fun...truffle fries, mac n cheese, cuban sandwich, good breakfasts. This reminds me that there is also a Cuban place -- I think they changed the name to Habanas?
Best Vietnamese is in Marina Village at Mint Leaf.
La Penca Azul is fun, but I get full on chips and just order two street tacos every time I go.....

re: myst
Good points. But you say you get full on chips like it's a bad thing! :-) (that happens to me in pretty much any Mexican restaurant with decent chips and salsa -- half the time I end up taking most of my entree home).
What do you recommend at Mint Leaf? I never get out that way, but maybe I should.
Since annie44 is talking about lunch, perhaps we should warn her that some of these places (like Ramiro) are going to be slammed during the lunch period(s) for the high school in the next block.
re: Ruth Lafler
Good point about the high school. And I think I remembered you are not a Ramiro's fan?
At Mint Leaf I like the chicken curry. They also do a fried calamari and green beans. I've tried several other dishes and many were good including I think a beef cube plate, but I have not been in several months so can't recall the menu. The food is a bit fusion, but everything tastes fresh, clean, and light. My Vietnamese friends have agreed with me that most Vietnamese food in Alameda is pretty dismal....

re: drewskiSF
'pho ga' will be the soup noodles with chicken. if you order 'pho ga', that's what you'd get, not beef or beef tendon or duck. those dishes are called 'pho - x ' (x = word for other meat/poultry/offal). thanks for the info on this place.
re: moto
this link's to a picture of their pho selections from that "other" site
re: drewskiSF
Owners of Khanh Huong are ethnic Chinese from Viet Nam. Mom likes their "home-style" Cantonese dishes; for example, roast duck wonton noodle soup,steamed salted fish/pork hash. They offer a special menu of 3 choices for about $17 (including rice if eating in).
re: Ruth Lafler
Troy: hummus was the best I've had in a restaurant, chunky eggplant salad (not baba ganoush) was great, falafel were first-rate, cooked to order and crunchy with a squirt of superior tzatizki. On the other hand, the dolmas, chicken schwarma, and cucumber salad (mostly tasteless tomatoes) were not very good.
Apparently they have a branch in the Elmwood as well. Different menus.
re: Stephanie Wong
"Tommy Tucker"?
re: Ruth Lafler
Genuine old-fashion Americana is not easy to find & could be considered a threatened (if not endangered) ethnicity with all the fusion and hyphenated offerings in Alameda. . . in the same vein as Ole's, Jim's, and the now closed Tillie's (which relatives of mine used to sojourn to from Redding).
re: Stephanie Wong
I'm just confused at the "Tommy Tucker" reference -- do you mean Tucker's? They used to offer a Tommy Tucker cone (do they still?).
re: Ruth Lafler
Thanks, Stephanie. Is that at 1349 Park? It sounds like a really fun stop for dessert before the drive back to San Ramon. I'll post where we end up eating at today, my vote is East Ocean or Burma Superstar or Alameda Marketplace....so many choices. I'll let my son choose since it's his vacation. Tomorrow we are in SF, didn't realize it was Gay Pride weekend. Thinking Slanted Door for lunch or, or Swan Oyster, Nopalito, Suppenenkuche, Tony's Pizza ---Kokkari or La Mediterranae...so many options, so little time. Fun! Any suggestions for an Irish Pub near Union Square for my son?

re: Ruth Lafler
Yep -- in the past 40+ years, my circle has always referred to it as Tommy Tucker's. Guess I should proofread more carefully before clicking on Post My Reply :^)
Definitely still offer the Tommy Tucker -- and they seem to still be a great hit with the "wee'uns".
re: Stephanie Wong
We had a large (18) family dinner at The Ark a few months ago, loved the show of the hand-pulled noodles (tasty too) and the kids especially enjoyed the carved fruit and veg birds etc. (One little girl insisted on taking hers with her for the weekend.) And then we all walked over to Tucker's for dessert, which imop definitely counts as a rare spot. Big hit, like a memory and almost exotic. especially to people from Mall-and-Chain Land.
Homeroom Racing Cafe has a few terrific dishes - I'm not generally one to order the same thing over and over again at a restaurant, but I have their chicken with green beans and their pad kee mow almost weekly.

Oh, thank you for jogging my memory to post!!! We went armed with all these wonderful recommendations, and my son selected the Mexican place on Park Ave....La Pinata? The Margaritas were good! and so was the food. They have a huge menu!...I had my eye on Burma Super Star, but it was my son's vacation and his choice.. We then went and toured the USS Hornet, which he loved. If you have men friends and need to entertain them, I highly recommend that Museum. Even I found it very interesting, too, but wear running shoes because you have to climb up and down many steep metal ladders between decks and up the the bridge. We had planned to stop for ice cream at Tucker's after the Hornet, but were still too full. I had a chili relleno and a street taco, my son had a tamale and enchilada plate as I recall. Thanks so much for all the excellent advice. A friend and I will be visiting Alameda to try out the other recommendations. . In SF we just couldn't eat enough....we had lunch at The Slanted Door, expensive and worth it, best halibut! Then we tried to have dinner in North Beach but parking was impossible, so we ended up at an Irish Bank Pub down a little alley way in Union Square, walking distance from the Marriott. It was almost 10pm and were were hungry and tired from touring Alcatraz. The food was ok, the atmosphere fit my son like a glove. My daughter had their special pastrami, which looked much better than the fish and chips I had, which were, truthfully, slightly burned. But all in all, it served the purpose for a hungry group of people. Thanks again for all the help!

re: annie44
Thanks for reporting back! I love the Margaritas at La Pinata/La Penca Azul -- fortunately I live walking distance so I don't have to worry about overindulging. You're right about the Hornet -- we took my Dad there one year for Father's Day and had a great time, but the next day I could hardly walk my quad muscles were so sore from all the ladders.
Sounds like you had a good visit with your son.
re: Ruth Lafler
Yes, it was a very good time. And lucky you for living so close to those good Margaritas!
I hear you about the Hornet, I didn't even think about ladders when I suggested we visit. (And I happen to have a broken toe right now, so it was more than challenging, but so worth it to see how much my son enjoyed it.) It's a great outing for men, I see they also have one night a month where they do a flashlight tour after hours and people can sleep over. Not for me, but guys would probably love that. It was quite the experience to see those tiny "bunks" or hammocks they slept in, three tiered. Can you imagine?!
Thanks again for all the good information...we loved Alameda!
re: GH1618
Habanas is more Cuban-inspired than actually Cuban.
re: Robert Lauriston
Habanas is in a weird category of restaurants where when I go I always have a decent-to-good meal, and a good time, and yet I feel no urge to go back there. To answer your question from the other thread, I'm not sure when me last visit was vis-a-vis the ownership change, so I can't comment specifically on that. IIRC the "new owners" are really the old owners -- or a subsection thereof.
In sad news, I might have to report a major downhill on King of Thai Noodles. The pad Thai, which has always been very good there was terrible this weekend -- if I hadn't known it was pad Thai I would have thought it was a badly executed Chinese stir fry: oily, gummy, and without any of the tart or herbal flavors characteristic of Thai cuisine. The roasted duck noodle soup was decent, but also not particularly Thai in its flavor profile. The green curry was rather more one-dimensional than I remember. I can only hope that it was an aberration!
Finally, two thumbs up for the Alameda Burma Superstar. When we got there on a recent Saturday night there was a wait they said would be half an hour, so we gave them my cell number and went across the street to browse in the bookstore while we waited, and then they called me in only a few minutes.
Just continuing the thread: My sis is in love with Mama's Chicken Noodle Soup on Webster. She's been more than a dozen times and still raves about it. The free range chicken is a standout: juicy and tasty. Noodle soups are light and fresh tasting and noodles done just right. Not sure what this style is called, but it doesn't have the herbs you get with pho and broth is lighter than a typical Chinese egg noodle soup. (We call it Chinese-style pho.) A highlight is the ginger scallion sauce they give you for the chicken dip (get extra and toss it in the soup). You can order different types of noodles (clear, egg, rice). For comparision we ate at Pho Ga Huong Que Cafe this weekend and while the styles are the same, all of us had overcooked noodles, which is a big minus verging on unacceptable for me. Plus Mama's is bright, clean, and has a parking lot.

Weekend Guide: BBQ, Beer and a Chef Throwdown

|Babyyyyy, baby back ribs [barbecue sauce] at the Orange County BBQ Bonanza.
Everyone should be advise on the $2 coupon at the BBQ Bonanza. The BBQ teams are only taking 1 coupon per order. My wife and I were in line together at the Cowboy's BBQ stand. We each ordered a platter; we each had a coupon. We were told we could only use 1 coupon because we were together. We said we'd pay separately. They said because they knew we were together, they couldn't allow us to do that. After a brief argument, the fat boss (smoking a cigar back where the food was being served) gave me a snide remark about arguing over $2.00, but told the girl to go ahead and take the coupon.
That fat bossman should take his entire crew back to Texas. He's arguing over $2.00 when I'm ready to hand him $24.00.
If you're going to the BBQ Bonanza, don't go to Cowboys. They don't appreciate your business.
dude i thought it said beef throwdown.. Had mad chub right now

DepEd Addresses Dropout Rate Through Open High School Program -- Lapus By Hannibal C. Talete
MANILA, Oct. 14 (PNA) -- To address the growing dropout rate among high school students, Education Secretary Jesli Lapus said on Wednesday the Department of Education (DepEd) has intensified its Open High School Program (OHSP).
According to Lapus, OHSP is one of the alternative learning education schemes under the education department's Drop Out Reduction Program (DORP).
The DepEd chief said that through the OHSP, students can complete their high school education even if they find themselves in circumstances that would not allow them to continue going to school under the regular system.
"The OHSP is considered formal and structured or what is considered under the normal classroom situation," Lapus said.
He disclosed that under the program, students learn the eight core subjects in English, Science, Mathematics, Filipino, Aralin Panlipunan, Edukasyon sa Pagpapahalaga, Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH). They graduate by completing the four levels from first year to fourth year.
"The grading system is the same with the regular program. Students in the OHSP also graduate with the regular students at the end of the school year," he added.
The DepEd started implementing the OHSP in 1998 with very few high schools adopting it during the initial offering. At present, more and more high schools nationwide are offering the program as part of the scheme to address the issue on school dropouts.
DepEd said there has been a significant change in dropout rate in the secondary level since DORP was implemented.
Records showed that from 12.51 percent in 2005-2006, this went down to 7.45 percent in 2007-2008.
The DORP was formulated to respond to the needs of students who cannot report to class regularly because they are working either as part-time of full-time or for any other reason.
The DepEd said there are about five to six million school-age learners who are out of school. Many are willing to finish high school but are constrained by family,individual, community and school concerns.
The DORP focuses on these four risk factors that lead to the dropout problem.
The DORP has three major components, namely: the Effective Alternative Secondary Education or EASE, the Open High School or Distance Education Program (OHSP), and the School Initiated Interventions (SlI).
DORP was designed to address the problems faced by students which prevent them from completing their elementary and high school education. (PNA)

Dear Friends,
We, in this field, often see ourselves as protectors of the weak or unwanted, valuing each life no matter how old, how sick, how injured, or how damaged.
As a long-time field investigator with the Ulster County SPCA, I have seen the lows to which humanity can stoop in their treatment of animals. I have seen injuries and sickness that would bring any one of us to our knees in pain; but I have also seen the indomitable will of those it was inflicted upon as they rise up, wag a tail, hobble on three legs and ask me to 'throw the ball.'
Daily I see feats of compassion at the SPCA itself that dwarf whatever cruelty brought the animals to us in the first place. I see the volunteers pouring time, energy, and love into dog walking, fundraising, cat socialization or help with daily cleaning. I see Board Members struggle to raise funds, or fight our political battles, often emptying their own checking accounts. I see staff nursing orphaned kittens and puppies, or staying late into the night to triage the latest group of neglected animals, or bringing home the smallest of lives for 24 hour care following emergency blood transfusions.
Animal rights are a prominent political agenda now. Courts are more and more familiar with what were once our obscure anti-cruelty laws. The public is more and more aware that the shameful treatment of animals is something that should be stopped; and that public is more willing to contact us, or other authorities to step in. Outreach efforts to teach compassion and empathy to our kids are becoming increasingly common.
As always, our detractors, who do not support the life-saving work we do, seek to turn public opinion against us.
As always, we operate a whiskers width from closing our doors for lack of funds. But as always, our supporters step up, as you will again, now. People often ask how I have lasted a decade and a half in this business. It's easy. The good guys are winning. But that will only remain possible with your continued generosity and help.

WWE star Shawn Michaels takes on baseball's Barry Bonds
Shawn Michaels has plenty of jabs for opponents--and baseball.
View More Images from this story
Visit the Photo Place
By MICHAEL ZITZ
World Wrestling Entertainment star Shawn Michaels body-slammed Major League Baseball and Barry Bonds this week, saying pro wrestling is more real than baseball.
Bonds has pulled out of the World Baseball Tournament, saying he won't play for the USA team because he doesn't want to risk injury.
But some are speculating the real reason might be the stringent Olympic-style steroids testing involved.
Asked if WWE stars, most of whom are pumped up like Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons, take steroids, Michaels declined to give a general answer.
"I can't speak for anybody but myself," Michaels said Wednesday in a phone interview. "I can pee in any cup any time, anywhere."
He said he thinks baseball stars like Bonds are given more latitude than pro wrestling stars.
"We do everything we can to make it legit, but people are on the WWE like white on rice," Michaels said.
He said wrestling, despite its scripted morality play dramatics, is honest with its fans.
Baseball, Michaels said, is not.
"If Barry Bonds can't hit [73] home runs without being on the gas, he should be a man and tell people that.
"The American public is very forgiving of people confessing they made mistakes," Michaels said. "Baseball isn't doing that."
The image of pro wrestling is over the top, but Michaels said that, in his case, what you see is what you get.
"My persona is who I am--a born-again Christian," he said. "Everything I do is real."
Michaels, who is scheduled to appear tonight on a WWE pay-per-view event, has just published a book, "heartbreak & triumph--The Shawn Michaels Story," with co-author Aaron Feigenbaum.
"A lot of guys younger than me in the wrestling business have written books," he said somewhat defensively. "I wanted to wait till I had something to talk about. and I think it's a good story. I'm happy with the finished product."
Sometimes known as "The Heartbreak Kid" and "The Showstopper" in the WWE, Michaels writes about the decision he made to leave college to pursue a career in pro wrestling.
