Last reviewed February 27, 2013
It happens all the time: I'm examining a patient, his or her stomach growls, and I say, "Time for lunch?" For centuries, people have associated noises that arise from the upper abdomen (often assumed to be from the stomach) with hunger, but that's not the only time noise comes from the intestinal tract. Do you ever wonder why, or whether it could be a sign of illness? And why should your stomach growl when you're hungry? Then there's burping. We encourage babies to burp, yet it's viewed as rude for adults to burp in public in this country. In others, it's a compliment to the chef. Why do people burp? And is it harmful to suppress a burp? Noises from the upper digestive tract have probably been recognized as soon as humans appeared on this planet. Some of the earliest physicians wrote scholarly treatises on bowel sounds and, naturally, doctors have applied technical terms to these:
Three hundred years ago, British scientist Robert Hooke wrote the following: "It may be possible to discover the motions of internal parts of bodies" by listening to the "motion of the wind to and fro in the guts." So far, Hooke's statement turns out to be an overestimation of what intestinal sounds can tell us. However, the notion that digestive noises can reflect the state of one's health clearly goes back centuries. It is normal to have some air in the digestive tract; some air is swallowed, and some is produced by the process of digestion. It is also normal for the body to periodically get rid of some air. Burping or passing gas helps to keep the pressure within the intestinal tract low and prevents painful stretching of the stomach, small or large intestine. But that process is often accompanied by noise, and, depending on the situation, those noises may be viewed as embarrassing or inappropriate. Babies swallow air during feeding; patting the back while keeping them upright helps make that bubble of air in the stomach rise to the top and escape through burping. Adults also swallow air, especially while drinking carbonated beverages. Trying to suppress a burp is unlikely to cause harm, though it may be unpleasant. The stomach and intestines move food along from top to bottom by the process of peristalsis: The tube-like small intestine or large intestine squeeze in an organized, sequential fashion (a bit like squeezing a tube of toothpaste) to allow digestion to occur and to keep the intestinal contents moving along. Often air and liquid are mixed up and rearranged in this process, causing odd noises to be audible. When a doctor puts a stethoscope on the abdomen, he or she can often hear borborygmi, an entirely normal finding. Imagine a long, thin balloon, the type clowns use to make animal shapes, half filled with water. If you jostle the balloon enough, you'd be able to hear splashing or sloshing sounds. That's what happens when you drink several glasses of water and then jump on a trampoline. A succussion splash simply reflects the movement of liquid within a tube, in this case, the intestines. Flatus is also normal because as food and waste products move through the digestive tract toward the rectum, any trapped air will be pushed ahead of it, eventually being expelled. Certain foods will increase the amount of intestinal air produced during digestion, because they do not break down until they reach the large intestine, where bacteria digest the food and create gas in the process, unlike with other foods digested higher up in the intestinal tract. Beans have a reputation for causing gas, but so do cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, oat bran (and other high fiber foods), carbonated beverages and foods containing sorbitol (an artificial sweetener present in many low-calorie foods). Fructose, a natural sugar present in many fruits (including prunes, pears, grapes, dates and figs) and in many sweeteners, is also associated with increased intestinal gas. All of these noises are normal, but if you have abdominal pain, doctors will actually worry more when borborygmi and flatus are absent than when they are present. Because of all the ways the digestive tract can create noises, a noisy abdomen does not necessarily mean you are hungry; a much more reliable sign is actually feeling hungry. Although burping is almost always normal, there are rare occasions when it is a sign of illness. In patients with a partial or complete blockage in the digestive tract, the only way for air to escape is upward, by burping. Some people who are having heart problems, including a heart attack, may have prominent burping (or nausea) because the heart's nerve supply overlaps that of the upper digestive tract. That's why "indigestion" sometimes turns out to be heart trouble. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (or GERD) is a condition in which frequent or severe heartburn, related to acidic stomach contents entering the lower esophagus, may cause discomfort and burping. A growling stomach may growl louder, high-pitched or even sound "tinkling" if there is an infection (as is common in gastroenteritis related to a viral infection ), or a partial or complete blockage (called obstruction) as the intestines try to push fluid, gas and waste products past the trouble area. When borborygmi increase due to obstruction, other symptoms are typically present, such as bloating, crampy pain, nausea and vomiting, that make it clear that these "normal" sounds are not due to the normal course of events. Conversely, hearing no bowel sounds, especially when abdominal pain is present, could be an indication of an inflamed pancreas (called pancreatitis), peritonitis (inflammation of the lining of the abdomen, usually an indication of serious trouble in the abdomen), or a perforation (a tear in the bowel wall). An exceptionally quiet digestive tract is typical of anyone who has just come out of major surgery, because the normal movement of the bowel wall is temporarily paralyzed after a major trauma such as surgery. This condition is called "ileus." Increased flatus could mean many things. Among the most common are lactose intolerance, intestinal infection and irritable bowel syndrome. Medications sometimes cause increased flatus as well. As mentioned, diminished or absent flatus may mean the digestive tract is not moving at all (as in ileus) or is obstructed, a more serious problem. Noise that arises from the digestive tract is not just a fact of life, it is a sign of health. Your doctor may listen over the abdomen with a stethoscope, but it is often easy to hear noises even without one. If you have concerns about your digestive tract or the noises it makes, see your doctor for evaluation, especially if you also have abdominal pain. But don't assume that whenever your stomach growls, it's time to eat; doing so may do little to reduce the noise but much to increase your weight. Robert H.

Officials seek extension for motorhome tax cut
According to RV Business, U.S. Representative Joe Donnelly, a democrat from Indiana, has introduced legislation to extend the expiring tax deduction for state and local sales or excise taxes on the purchase of new motorhomes.
"A strong recreational vehicle industry is crucial to north central Indiana, and especially Elkhart County," Donnelly said in a news release. "Despite tumultuous times for RV makers, sales have begun to rebound and local companies are starting to hire again. I think the deduction has played a role in the comeback of the industry. I introduced this legislation to help continue the trend in rising RV purchases and new production."
Donnelly, along with Senator Evan Bayh, introduced the original legislation that included a tax break on new RV purchases as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The benefit currently covers vehicles purchased during 2009 only.
The initial signs of recovery for the RV industry are believed to signal a more widespread economic recovery, according to economists.

AMC videos project route's visual impact
Allen and Linda Holmes stand in front of their home, which they painted bright orange to protest the controversial Northern Pass project. (Marie Hughes/Colebrook Chronicle)
Videos of the project: Two views
► Click here to view the AMC's flyover videos.► Click here to view the Northern Pass "Visual Simulations" videos.
The release of the video is the latest salvo in a long battle that has pitted the power company against local landowners and environmental groups. The companies say the project will bring cheaper power, increased property tax bases and jobs to the New England region, while opponents say the towers will scar scenic views and destroy property values.
"I know there have been other projects around the country that have been buried and if they could bury the lines here that would be the most appropriate thing to do," she told NHPR following a town hall meeting she held in Whitefield.
Skelton said Northern Pass is working with communities to bring a variety of benefits, including tax revenues and, in Groveton, a 195-foot tower on Morse Hill, off Route 3, that will expand Internet coverage.
Holmes said three real estate agents have informed him that "I couldn't get half what the property's worth just because of the threat of Northern Pass."
"Topography and tree heights are huge factors," he said.
Kimball said the video shows the towers at the exact height, location and type shown in the Northern Pass application and accounts for topography.
Skelton said the Energy Department and Northern Pass will each have independent visual impact assessments done.
Visual simulations of various sites have already been done by LandWorks and are available by going to blog.northernpass.us/ then clicking on "in my town" and click on "visual simulations," Skelton said.
"A photo simulation is done at one point, looking in one direction," he said.
Kimball said AMC is working on a new project to show what a visual footprint is likely to be on a wider scale. The flyover video addressed views from a half-mile out from the line.
The AMC also challenges the implied value of the project for future generations.
He said a series of open houses held recently helped convert some residents from opponents to supporters when they found out the benefits of the power line and that their fears were unfounded.
Skelton said he's concerned the new AMC video about the proposed Northern Pass route from Deerfield to the Canadian border "only fuels fears and provides more false impressions."

Verizon: Google Nexus 7 LTE support is coming. Really
Verizon subscribers unable to activate the LTE version of the Google Nexus 7 may just have to be patient a while longer.
Owners of the new tablet who tried to activate it on Verizon this week ran into a roadblock. The carrier doesn't support the device for activation even though the Nexus 7 is technically compatible with its 4G LTE network.
Verizon also managed to fan the flames by telling disgruntled Nexus 7 owner and tech blogger Jeff Jarvis via Twitter: "I'm excited you got your Nexus 7 but not all LTE tablets are created equal. It'… Read more

A judge has met privately with attorneys on a proposed $700,000 payment by McDonald's and a Michigan franchisee to settle a suit that says they falsely advertised food as being prepared according to Islamic law.
Wayne County Circuit Judge Kathleen Macdonald met behind closed doors Wednesday with attorneys to settle the suit filed on behalf of Dearborn Heights resident Ahmed Ahmed.
A preliminary settlement would be shared by Ahmed, a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum and lawyers.
The suit says Ahmed bought a chicken sandwich in 2011 at a Dearborn McDonald's but found it wasn't halal — meaning it didn't meet Islamic food rules.
Another attorney who wants others to share in the settlement also has become involved.
A hearing has been scheduled for Monday.

When you buy a pair, they are sold as a front and rear pair, but the difference is not distinguishable and nothing on the package or in the enclosed instructions made note of this. I haven't noticed any increased noise, and I often drive with the roof open, so I think the aeroblade is a smart design. As far as roof racks go, they look nice and look like they will last a long time.

2 Activities View the video below where you will see Shelly Woods in action during a tough fitness test. 1 Elite sport In this unit we will consider organisation and funding issues in elite sport. As with public sector sport, at the grass roots level a number of different organisations are involved, and it is difficult to identify clear leadership of this area. The National Lottery has had a major influence on the funding of our top sports people and the approach we take here is to look at how funding and organisation issues impact on one athlete, in this instance Shelly Woods (British wheelchair racing recor 5.5 'A sense of belonging and membership in which sentiment and emotion play an important rol Nationalism is about land or territory and what it means to people. Nationalists make claims to the centrality of certain tracts of land to them, to their people, to their collective history, traditions, cultures and sufferings: When a hundred thousand nationalists march down Sherbrooke Street [in Montreal] chanting 'Le Quebec aux Quebecois', they are not just talking about the establishment of a public la 5.3 'A positive valorisation is assigned to one's own nation, granting it specific claims ove Just how a nation is prioritised over other communities will have an important impact on how the terms of this second element are played out. A nation that sees itself in pluralistic or liberal terms for example – which may celebrate cultural diversity as part of its very sense of a collective identity – is, on the face of it, less likely to make particular demands or to institute extensive controls on the behaviour of its members. On the other hand, a nation that is imagined in terms of 5.2 'The prioritisation of a particular group – the nation – as a key constitut No particular form of articulating the nation is required by the formulation of this first element; the nation might be 'imagined' or 'constructed' as homogenous or as pluralistic and diverse, for example. However nationhood is imagined, though, it will invariably involve some form of suppression of alternative ways of classifying peoples. Consider that for most of us there are linguistic, class, ethnic, location, gender, religious and other aspects to our identities. 5.1 Ideology: a contested concept Propagators of ideologies use images and symbols to get people to believe and act in certain ways. Nationalism as a political ideology uses the idea of 'nation' to achieve political goals, and may be the most potent ideology in existence. It is worth reflecting for a moment on what kind of ideology it is. And it is worth reminding ourselves that ideology is a contested concept; a term that can mean different things. Marx and Engels subscribed to the notion of ideology as a set of ide 3 Self-determination: individual and collective The idea of a right to 'collective self-determination' is a difficult one – how can a group, as opposed to an individual, have a 'right'? To argue that a nation has a right to self-determination is, some might argue, to overlook what rights are, and who can claim them. 'Self-determination' has a positive ring about it – how could anyone oppose it? The idea of self-determination has strong resonances in political theory, dating back as far as Hobbes, at lea 1.2.1 Boundaries and terminology In another context Shakespeare asked, 'What's in a name?', and suggested by way of an answer that a rose may smell as sweet whatever it is called. In the context of social boundaries, however, the language used is actually very important in determining 'who's in' and 'who's out'. Learning outcomes By the end of this unit you should be able to understand: the complexity and dilemmas of diverse perspectives in the field of mental health and distress;
the importance of service users'/survivors' experiences and perspectives; how mental health issues affect everyone; the range of risks faced by service users'/survivors' in their everyday lives.

In sports, rooting for the underdog is fun; with movies, it's torture. When a flick you like is critically panned, the common response among cinephiles is to assume a defensive crouch, ready to spring whenever the movie comes up in conversation. By now, acquaintainces pretty much know not to raise 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence' or 'The Village' in my presence.
Here, in that same friendly-but-cantankerous spirit, we submit for your consideration seven poorly reviewed films from 2010 that deserve a chance, even though the Tomatometer may suggest otherwise.
'Agora' (Alejandro Amenabar) – Alejandro Amenabar's modestly budgeted historical epic is grand, sweeping, old-fashioned entertainment as well as a stirring paean to rational thought and humanity's continuing quest to discover its place in the universe. Lukewarm reviews and a hideously botched domestic theatrical release by Newmarket Films doomed this movie to obscurity (it won't even be available on Blu-Ray), but please: if you catch up to only one 2010 obscurity next year, make it this one.
'Devil' (John Erick Dowdle) – Blah blah blah Shyamalan yadda yadda 'Airbender' sneer sneer laugh. But buried somewhere under the critical pile-on is a nifty little splash of cold water – a high-concept chiller that works despite being beholden to M. Night Shyamalan's quasi-religious, there-are-no-coincidences worldview. Breathless and persistently tense, the film delivers 80 minutes of undemanding fun, and Philadelphia, rain-drenched and gleaming, has never looked so good on screen.
'Flipped' (Rob Reiner) – In the year of 'Alice in Wonderland', 'Yogi Bear', 'Gulliver's Travels' and other crass bastardizations posing as family entertainment, we should all have been grateful for this soft, elegant, instantly engaging movie – an easygoing return to form for Rob Reiner. The bad reviews bemoaned the ceaseless voiceover and the somewhat processed nostalgia, and frankly they're not wrong, but the charming leads and Reiner's ability to speak to young'uns without condescension put it over the top.
'It's Kind of a Funny Story' (Ryan Fleck & Anna Boden) – Indie darlings Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden ('Half Nelson', 'Sugar') took a tentative step into the mainstream and found it rather inhospitable. Though the negative response to the other films on this list is mostly understandable, the hostility toward this exceedingly good-natured flick is baffling. 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' is a sharp, affecting dramedy about learning to chill out and live with yourself, featuring a remarkably self-assured lead performance from 17-year old Keir Gilchrist.
'Robin Hood' (Ridley Scott) – Ridley Scott is the consummate Hollywood professional. You go to a Ridley Scott film and you expect impeccably crafted, often old-fashioned big screen entertainment. 'Robin Hood', his much-maligned latest, is admittedly not up to his usual standards – the last third feels rushed, and others have persuasively argued that the movie ends just as the story is finally getting off the ground. But don't be deceived: this is still handsomely mounted, enjoyable stuff – not as good as the rest of Scott's output, but well worth a couple hours of your time.
'She's Out of My League' (Jim Field Smith) – For a while it seemed that this thoroughly lost-in-the-shuffle romantic comedy, released back in March, might really be something special. Then it took a turn for the dumb and vulgar. But it's still a rarity: a romantic comedy about two perfectly nice people whom we actually would like to see end up together. ('Going the Distance' was another, better-received example of this in 2010.) It's funny, too, with a terrific lead turn by Jay Baruchel, who had a break-out year.

I continue to be impressed by how difficult it is to separate the health effects of fat, carbohydrate, and protein from the calories they provide, the foods that contain them, the diets as a whole, or the rest of the lifestyle that goes along with the diet.
Finding out what people eat is hard to do. Determining the health effects of dietary factors or patterns is even harder since humans make such awful experimental animals. Plenty of things about human nutrition are reasonably well established -- the basic nutrients that are required and the amounts that prevent deficiency diseases, for example. But it is much trickier to figure out the effects of nutrients on chronic diseases that are also affected by activity levels, cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and social factors such as poverty, stress, and lack of control. Scientists have been grappling with these issues for years and many questions are still unanswered.
In a situation in which questions remain, is it better to say nothing or to give the best advice possible based on existing knowledge? Intelligent people may differ on this point but I am convinced that people really want to know what diet is best for their health and want help making food choices. What seems amazing to me is that despite decades of arguments over fat vs. carbohydrate, basic dietary advice for preventing chronic diseases hasnt changed in 50 years.
My advice still stands dont eat too much (eat less, move more); eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; and dont eat too much junk food. This seems like a pretty good approach backed up by plenty of research.
Oh, and the calorie question. Its not that people are overeating 50 to 100 calories a day (the amount in one or two Oreo cookies) and gaining weight. Most bodies can easily compensate for small differences in caloric intake and output. But, as I hear from pediatricians all the time, kids these days are consuming hundreds of calories more than they need, and sometimes thousands. Metabolismin kids or adultsjust cant handle that level of overload. In that situation, carbohydrates may be harder to handle than fats, but both will end up in the body as fat if those calories arent used up in physical activity.
Fortunately, my precepts leave plenty of room for enjoying delicious food, and arent we lucky to have so much around.

When you are moving into your apartment or house, there are certain things you need to consider, such as how much rent you can afford, the cost of food, utility expenses, whether or not to have a roommate and so on. These are things you are probably aware of but you may not know some of the laws and ordinances regarding the communities that surround St. John's University.
The laws and ordinances are mainly enforced on a compliant basis and may carry fines if there are any violations. This means that people living in your community are the ones responsible for reporting any violations. It is a good idea to get to know your neighbors and those living in your area as soon as you move in. That way, if there are any problems, you and your neighbors can work them out before any other measures are taken. Similarly to living in the residence halls, it is always a better idea to try to talk through your disagreements before bringing in an authority figure (in this case, usually the police).
First and foremost, you are bound by the obligations of your lease. Secondly, you must honor all of the laws and ordinances that govern all other citizens including noise, parking, speed limits, pets, the use of alcohol, etc. Students who engage in behavior off-campus that could damage the reputation of St. John's University or the institution's relationship with the greater communities may be subject to disciplinary action under the Student Code of Conduct.
Moving InIt is a good idea to note all existing damage and necessary repairs on the lease before you sign it. A Rental Condition Checklist can be included as part of the lease.
The Rental Condition Checklist helps determine "normal wear and tear." It is also a record of damage that already existed and for which you should not be held responsible when you move out. Remember to be thorough! If you run out of room on the original sheet, write "see attached" at the bottom and continue on an additional piece of paper. Try to be as detailed as possible about location, type and extent of damage. If there is extensive damage to the premises, consider photographing the area. Arrange with the landlord or realtor and an objective third party to inspect the premises together before you sign the lease and move-in. (An objective witness is typically not a roommate or relative). During this inspection, you may complete the checklist and an inventory of needed repairs. If a checklist is to be made part of the lease, attach it to the lease. If the checklist is not tot be part of the lease, obtain a written commitment from the landlord regarding repairs she/he will complete and a completion date. All tenants and the landlord and/or Rental Condition Checklist has been included in the Guide to Living Off-Campus and may be used as a guide to assist students when they are visiting properties and eventually signing their lease.
Renter's InsuranceIt is strongly recommended that whenever you rent a house or apartment that you take out a rental insurance policy. This will protect you and your belongings from loss due to fire or water damage or in the event that your property is stolen or vandalized. Renter's insurance is often available from the same company that is insuring you car and/or can be arranged through most major insurance agencies.
Quiet Enjoyment The concept of quiet enjoyment is not a specific law or statute; it has evolved from English common law and it has been enforced as common law ever since. Although it does not have a statutory basis, it is recognized to be a valid, unwritten law that is enforceable. The principles of quiet enjoyment accompany any lease signed by landlord and tenant. For example, quiet enjoyment prevents your landlord from appearing any time of the day or night to make repairs or remodel or cause your to suffer unreasonable disturbances in any way. Specific mention of the right to quiet enjoyment may not be in the lease, but you are entitled to a tenancy free from unreasonable disturbances under the control of the landlord. A tenant may waive his/her right to a promise of quiet enjoyment if he/she signs a lease that contains a waiver of this type. Repairs to Your Rental It is important for tenants to determine who will take care of any repair to the rental BEFORE they sign a lease. Even with a lease clause, it is often difficult to get repairs done. If you do have problems first check to see if there are any procedures to follow in your lease, if not we suggest the following strategy: 1. Tell your landlord immediately when repairs are necessary. If he/she agrees to make the repairs, wait a reasonable time period. If nothing is done… 2. Contact your landlord again and ask why the repairs have not been made. (There may be a perfectly good reason). Again, give your landlord a reasonable amount of time to complete the repair. If nothing happens then… 3. Write a letter that re-states the history of the problem needed repair, times of contact, and the promises. If your lease stipulates the landlord is responsible for the repair, quote it. Ask that the repair be completed in a certain amount of time. Photocopy the letter and send the original via certified mail. Still no action then… 4. Contact an attorney. The attorney will offer specific counsel.
Additional tenant rights and responsibilities can be found on the New York State Attorney General's website at http://www.oag.state.ny.us/realestate/tenants_rights_guide.html

CUT by Wolfgang Puck at The Beverly Wilshire
Online Reservations
The food and service was outstanding. Must return.
We went with a group of friends... the noise level is energetic, but amazingly, you can hear each other talk! In order to fully appreciate this place, you are going to have to spend big bucks! The $155 True Japanese Wagyu Beef Rib Eye is out of this world!!! CAUTION: If you get something else, do not take a bite of this off of someone else's plate, or you will not enjoy your own steak! The service is outstanding & the portions are perfect so that you do not feel hungry afterward, nor over stuffed... if timed right, you will still have room for the chocolate soufflé for dessert!
Fabulous experience. Food was exceptional and service was great
I have been to all of the popular steak houses in LA, Flemmings, the Palms, Mortons, etc. None of these so-called excellent steakhouses can touch Cut. The wait staff was fabulous and fun but most importantly, the steak was out of this world!!! I really liked the modern decor and up-beat music.
I took my bf for dinner here on a Friday night. Food: I got the Nebraska rib eye steak, med rare: nice texture with a little bit of pepper and charred, allowing me to appreciate the meat. Bf got the Illinois bone in filet mignon, medium rare: a lot softer than the rib eye, even had a sashimi texture at one point. Sides: Mac and cheese and tempura onion rings: just get them. Service: Very good and so polite. They even refilled on the cheese bread. Location: Right across the street from Rodeo Drive. We got to do some window shopping before and it was a nice day to walk to get our appetite going. Parking tip: try to find street parking on Beverly if you don't wanna pay $12 for valet. I think we paid $4.
It is something to do at least once. Desserts are wonderful. Meat is tastety by very expensive. "Over-priced" will not be far from the truth. Japanese Wagu is the hype but not worth the over $100 for 8 oz price. Service is definitely attentive. Morton's and Ruth Chris will be a lower priced alternative. Bone Marrow Flan, pork chop and Soft shell crab are great appertizers.
This place was great. I took my wife for our anniversary. Let me start by saying that this place is pricey, but worth the experience. The alcohol drinks start at $18. Steaks starts at $50. The sevice is above and beyond. Everyone was super nice. Great place for special occasions. Make sure you make a reservation.
CUT is a steak lover's dream. From the amuse bouche through dessert, every dish was fantastic, but the true stars are the steaks. With so many selections, from good old fashioned corn-fed US to Japanese Wagyu, the worst part about CUT is making a decision. The steaks were tender and seasoned to perfection, the sides delicious, and the chocolate soufflé is a don't-miss. CUT is an open layout and can tend to get noisy, but when Wolfgang Puck walks out to greet his guests at their tables, that becomes very easy to overlook. Overall a great dining experience.
Although we had reservations ...thry made us with 30-40 minutes
Gf took me here for my birthday, it was the best steak dinner i ever had, better then Mastros for sure..
Best Stake and dessert(MUST TRY the banana cream pie)EVER!!! But, the service was just so so~ You can totally tell they are just trying to be "friendly" to get more tips, not at all sincere~ However, I would still go JUST for the food!!!
It was the 5 yr anniversary of my mother's death so I wanted the night to be perfect. Without even telling the staff this story, they made it so. The sommelier, Dana, is wonderful, fantastic, & so helpful. Also, our waiters, David & Chris, were incredible. Even the chef made my night extra special. But the magic of this place goes beyond the impeccable service. The food was phenomenal. Delectable, tasty, fresh, & plentiful. We had the king crab & lobster cocktail as well as the butter lettuce salad for appetizers, the kobe porterhouse for two as our entree, the french fries & caramelized corn for sides, and the chocolate souffle as dessert. This is one of the best meals I have ever had in my life. The food and the service were unmatched.
Our party of four were seated promptly and had the wonderful corner booth with a full view of the beautiful dining room. Two of us ordered steaks that were cooked perfectly and were oh so scrumptious. Another had the Sautéed Dover Sole "Meunière", filleted at the table, it melted in your mouth. Our other person was a vegetarian, which you might think was in the wrong restaurant. But he was more than thrilled with the plate they presented him with, among other things, Caramelized Sweet Summer Corn, Romano Beans, Haricot Verts, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Garlic and Cavatappi Pasta "Mac & Cheese," with Québec Cheddar. The service is the best, they are very attentive but don't hover over you. If I could give CUT 6 stars I would.
The best steakhouse we've been to and we have been to many!!!
The best steak in California, don't miss out on this AMAZING restaurant!
The food was top notch but the seating was so tight that we could have touched the people at the next table. The servers hovered too much for my liking. This was due in part to the fact that we were near the aisle to the kitchen. There were about three service personnel within 5 feet of the table 60-75% of the time. We did have a memorable dining experience with the best steak ever! For those going with a group, request a round table because those looked like the best tables. Our reservations were for 6:30 pm on a Friday.
Visiting from London we had our first night dinner in LA. Food, service and ambience were all excellent. Al in all it was a great evening.
The food was outstanding. Selection of beef and prepared to perfection.
A great place to go for a special occasion but is not your average dinning.
This is the second time my husband and I have eaten at CUT. No matter what you choose on the menu, you won't be disappointed.
From the quality of the food to the great staff- CUT is excellent.
I took my wife here for our 21st wedding anniversary and had a great time. My wife has been raving about it ever since. The staff was very attentive. The food is very pricey, especially if you order the Wagyu beef. My wife ordered the tasting menu which included a 2oz portion of the Wagyu, a 4oz portion of "American Waygu" and a 4oz portion of prime, dry aged New York. I think she wished she ordered the 6oz Wagyu given her reaction to tasting it. She let me have a small sample of it but for me it was was too fatty, but very delicious. I opted for the Bone in Filet, which was wonderful. You can order sauces on the side but the beef itself tasted so good alone I'd suggest passing on the sauces.
amazing food, great experience, great customer service, good wine, perfect night!
Steaks were prepared to perfection. Pricey but great for a special occasion especially for steak lovers. . Wait staff was knowledgeable about everything on the menu and the wine list. Friendly and helpful. They gave a classy and understated tribute to my husband's 50th birthday. With a small decadent dessert and 1 candle. Nice touch.
The service provided us was tremoundous....each item served by a separate staffer simltaneously so our dishes arrived all at the same time. Although I don't drinki alcohol, our friends that do received all the information needed from the staff. The food was amazing....steaks and short ribs were very, very tender.
They really know how to do the dining experience. Everyone, from the hostess stand to the bussers and wait staff were so efficient and polished. The gentlemen who waited on me were absolutely spot-on and so elegant. As for the food, the appetizers are inventive, particularly the Bone Marrow Flan (incredibly RICH,) and the pork belly - a stunning combination of flavors. My dry-aged rib-eye was perfect and, perhaps, the very best dry-aged rib-eye I've had in a restaurant. For my side, I had the mushrooms with peppers... wow. Other steakhouses should take a lesson from CUT on this side - a new and distinctive take on an often tired steakhouse offering. Lots of superlatives in this review, I know, but every single one is definitely justified.
We have eaten at Cut in Beverly Hills and Las Vegas and have always had great service and wonderful food and wine. We would recommend eating at Cut at either location. Fabulous food and service...
This is my favorite steakhouse in Los Angeles. The steak is always cooked to perfection. On this visit, I ordered the Japanese Wagyu... OMG, the steak literally melted in my mouth. The service here is always outstanding!! I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant!! Love it!
The Food from the Bread to the Deserts was outstanding . We always go for our Anniversary , the last 6 years . We love it .
Had a great evening at Cut, Wolfgangs steak house at the Beverely Wilshire. Wonderful meal and lots of interesting industry types in the room made the evening extra special. Bar next door was also great and the service first rate. Dinner staff 1st rate and lots of fun. The chef came by and coulnd't have been more friendly down to earth and attentive. Can't say enough about what a wonderful eveing I had with my clients. And appreciated the ease with which the reservation was accompllished thru Open Table. Thanks!
We had a wonderful time! Everything was perfect, and worth waiting for! We arrived a little early and went to the Sidecar bar for drinks. The had a DJ spinning music and the game on for my husband. Very classy and vibrant scene. Once we made it to the table, the wait staff took care of every need. Too bad, I had jet lag, otherwise, I probably would've eaten my whole steak. Which by the way was a 38 oz. bone in porterhouse for two, carved table side. If that's not enough, the Mac and cheese will take the cake! We didn't have room for dessert, but the couple next to us did and it too looked delicious. What a great choice, if you want the total Beverly Hills experience!
The service at Cut was outstanding and out shined the food. We thought for a restaurant that has been on several Best Of LA lists the past few years, the food although very good, lacked a "special" quality one would expect from a top tier restaurant.
My wife and I stopped here on our honeymoon and were looking for a great meal and that's exactly what we had. From being shown the different types of waygu beef to the various fresh breads and a piece of steak that was cooked absolutely perfect, it was a meal that we will remember for a long time. If we are ever back in the Los Angeles area, we will be here again
The service was very prompt and helpful at making suggestions as well as checking back in freqently throughout the meal. The food was also wonderful and they split up the steak to share without us asking, which was a nice touch.
Best steak I have ever eaten! And wolf gang puck hisself came to our table and we got a photo with him.
Everything about Cut is just fabulous. It turned a Normal Tuesday into a special occasion !
Thank you for a fantastic evening. Everything was perfection. The service and the food were outstanding.
Outstanding in every way, but food was out of this world. They had a fish option which was Dover sole which my wife had it was truly exceptional. The beef was great too!
Wow ! My experience was much more than anticipated; from the outstanding service with a personalized touch to the amazing food. For all Meat Lovers this is definately the place to dine. Would recommend to friends and family alike.
I've been to CUT in Vegas a couple times. I never thought it was the best but it was up there in top 4 of Steakhouses. My feelings didn't change after going to this one. They give you a choice of excellent and delicious breads which is to be expected at any Wolfgang restaurant. The Tuna Tartare was cool and fresh tasting. The condiments that go along with it made it unique to other Tartares that I've had and they complimented them perfectly. Three of us got the bone marrow on our steaks (Ribeye & 2 Petit Filet Mignon). They give you a large portion of marrow on your steak but after 5 min it hardens up like nuggets of fat. The steak was cooked as requested for the whole party. I just wished it had a firmer crust like other steakhouses.
we live in the uk. the hotel was recommended and lived up to its reputation, sett in the Beverley Wiltshire hotel the bar is vibrant the restaurant is modern, the staff where some of the best, last the food was great.
Great restaurant. Great food. Excellent service. Not child friendly but they did everything they could to make our 4-year old feel comfortable. Loud and vibrant inside so no risk of disturbing other diners. Wolfgang Puck came out to personally say hello and that was a treat in itself. Downside : take out a second mortgage. $400 + for two minimum with some decent wine. Faultless, cost aside.
Wolfgang walked over and said hello to our party to top off an amazing meal!!!
We has such a great time at CUT and the food was beyond amazing. The service was great, best service we have had in while. We have been to other steakhouses in Beverly Hills and the ambiance and service is by far the best. We tried the Petit Cut Filet Mignon and the American Wagyu Stake, with caramelized onions. Melted in our mouth, so good. Try the Creamed Spinach with Fried Organic Egg, definitely a winner as a side. We had such a great time that we are planning on going back to take our friends.
As a steak restaurant, i have had much better. Steak was cooked correctly but in the 1200° oven it was dry and tasted more like a roast. The chicken however was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy.
The rib eye was phenomenal! Mashed potatoes are a must. The tuna tartare appetizer is the best I've ever had. The service was very thorough and they constantly made sure we had water and cleaned up our table. The hotel is beautiful so it's is worth every penny.
The filet mignon was awesome. It was very soft and melt into your mouth. Excellent place for steaks. The stick bread was delicious.
We have been to The Cut a number of times, but this time the service and steaks were exceptional!! I always say The Cut is worth every penny!!
Always a great choice. Excellent food. The steak is a true experience. Don't fill up on the amazing bread. Food came out a little slow this last time however, it made it a true dining experience.
A bit pricey depending your choice of food. Absolutely the best service, and the food was outstanding! Intimate seating, and I can't say much more, except if you can get the chance, CUT it for sure!

Jaipur Hotels
The Jaipur Rundown
Easily one of the most captivating cities in all of India, if not Asia, Jaipur beguiles scores of annual visitors with architectural gems galore, a venerable culinary landscape and a phenomenal cultural scene. Without question, the state of Rajasthan's "Pink City" is a bucket list destination with a deluge of attractions in store for hearty travellers. Home to a tidy population of 4 million people, the original Maharaja city of Jaipur was one of the first purpose-built capitals on the subcontinent when Sawai Jai Singh II consolidated his wealth and power in 1727. ... Read more »
The city was not build on a whim. Rather, the area that is now old Jaipur was the deliberate result of decades-long forethought and careful, mathematical precision, all in council with the best engineers and architects of the era. Faithful restoration work over the decades ensures that contemporary visitors can enjoy the fruits of the Maharaja's labour - and considerable patronage.
Indeed, with memorable points of interest like the indelible pink sandstone Hawa Mahal palace, stately Albert Hall and hilltop citadels like Amber Fort, Nahargarh Fort and Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur necessitates much more than a mere day trip. As a gateway to the rest of remarkable Rajasthan, a heritage sanctuary, vibrant modern metropolis and bastion of endemic folklore, Jaipur is a sublime city that rewards the most acute wanderlust aches.

Jaipur Local
Jaipur is a pilgrimmage point for prospective and veteran urban planners hungry for inspiration. The original, now old, city was built in accordance with strict Vedic Vastu Shastra principles in order to facilitate the comfort and good fortune of residents. Although the modern-day metropolis extends way beyond the old walls, visitors to the original core city can easily make out the ingenious mandala (Sanskrit for "circle") plan that made Jaipur the envy of Rajasthan in the early 18th century.
The Old City, or Pink City, then, is the place to be in Jaipur. A foremost enclave of priceless ancient architecture, narrow bazaar-ways and pink sandstone monuments, the original city is one of the most popular tourist targets in India.
Central Palace Distict, as the name suggests, is home to Hawa Mahal, Chaugan Stadium and several temples and markets of note.
Bani Park District, in northwest Jaipur, is a popular haven for travellers in search of green space, affordable accommodations and decent restaurants.
Rambagh District contains a few upscale areas and attractions, such as the Jaipur Polo Ground and Golf Club.
Ashok Nagar District is a popular commercial and hotel area beyond the south wall of the Pink City. The precinct is home to Deer Park, Central Museum, Jaipur Zoo and Ram Niwas Garden.
Jaipur Eat & Drink
The culinary traditions of Rajasthan have few rivals on the subcontinent. Far from homogenous, the dominant state in India unfurls a multitude of folk cultures and traditions. Restaurants in Jaipur reflect much of this inherent diversity.
Handi Restaurant (MI Road) is a place where ambiance is secondary and food is top-drawer. |
Natraj Restaurant (MI Road) strays all over the culinary road map but delivers very good North Indian, Chinese and continental fare nonetheless. |
Peacock Rooftop Restaurant (Hari Kishan Somani Marg, Hotel Pearl Palace) offers photogenic views of the city and superb cuisine to boot. |
OM (Church Road, Ashok Nagar) is Jaipur's conspicuous revolving restaurant that, most happily, rates highly with discerning diners. |
Ganesh Restaurant (Nehru Bazaar, Old City) is a pint-sized eatery furtively located on the old city wall. |
Moti Mahal Delux (MI Road) is arguably the best all-around Indian restaurant in Jaipur. |
Mohan (Nehru Bazaar, Old City) has been a shopkeeper and office worker favourite in Jaipur since 1964. |
Kanji (Station Road) is a popular, low-profile restaurant with locals, where the emphasis is on humble comfort food made well. |
LMB (Johari Bazaar, Old City) whips up some of the best thali, roti and naan in the Pink City. |
Thali House (Station Road) is a temple of Rajasthani cuisine, with every iteration in glorious representation. |
Jaipur Events
Jaipur is a modest festival city with a nice array of cultural events and spiritual holidays throughout the year.
Holi, the colourful Hindu Spring festival, takes place sometime in February or March and features many vibrant rituals and special foods.
Diwali is the national "Festival of Lights" in India that takes place over five days in October or November.
Elephant Festival is a foremost tribute in India to the most venerable of pachyderms. The festival is part of Holi and takes place at Chaugan Stadium.
Gangaur Festival is specific to Jaipur and Rajasthan. A celebration of harvest and marital fidelity, the festival starts the day after Holi ends and lasts for 18 days. Colourful processions and sweets figure prominently for the occasion.
Jaipur Literature Festival draws national and international writers together in the Pink City every January for a variety of workshops, symposiums and lectures.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium is a 30,000 capacity cricket ground that hosts One Day Internationals on a regular basis.
When To Go
Two climatic factors come into play when considering a trip to Jaipur: heat and monsoons. The city gets hit hard with dusty, choking heat in the months of April, May and June, when temperatures regularly soar above the 104°F (40°C) mark throughout the day and hover at 75°F (24°C) at night. Air conditioning aside, it's not the most comfortable time of year to truly enjoy Jaipur or Rajasthan's charms.
Visitors who touch down in July, August and September don't necessarily fare much better. The three months are the "semi" in Jaipur's semi-arid climate. Over 75% of the city's 690 mm of average annual rain falls during this time. Though far from Kolkata's tropical downpours, potentially damaging to overall holiday enjoyment nonetheless.
With the daytime sun threatening to sear open-air amblers even in November and March, the obvious travel window of opportunity in Jaipur consists of the months of December, January and February, when conditions run from a cool low of 46°F (8°C) to a reasonable high of 26°F (32°C).
What To Miss
Touts, snake charmers and a host of sedulous street performers take the opportunity to ply, prod and harass obvious non-locals in the popular Pink City at every turn. Call it business unusual in the tourist-heavy capital of Rajasthan. To cope and overcome, walk with focus, exert preternatural prudence and give pesky peddlers and entrepreneurs the cold shoulder.
The same degree of caution is necessary with tour operators who invariably suggest, with apparent and casual non-spontaneity, points of interest and commercial establishments not on the official itinerary. If you know what you came to see in Jaipur, kindly insist your local guide sticks to the script.
On a related note, the commission trade is a healthy industry in Jaipur that extends beyond official tour operators. Many locals, from auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers to hotel staff and scrappy street grifters, work some kind of hustle on the side. Prepare to say no a lot and discern the honest from the insincere.
Getting Around
Jaipur International Airport is a small transport hub by India's standards and certainly not on par with the likes of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai or Bengaluru. The airport handles barely over 1 million passengers a year and the vast majority are of the domestic variety. A relatively new terminal, however, makes the airport in the suburb of Sanganer a handsome gateway to the city proper, which resides about 13 km away. Major destinations outside of India that connect to Jaipur International include Dubai, U.A.E. and Muscat, Oman.
Rail and bus are two of the more popular modes of transport into the Rajasthan capital. The national railway offers efficient service to and from the likes of Delhi, Ahmedabad, Agra, Mumbai, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Kolkata, Indore and Jabalpur. A variety of private and government-run buses run daily between Delhi and Jaipur. As always, you tend to get what you pay for in terms of service and car class for either. Alternatively, travellers can also hire cars in Delhi - with or without a chauffeur - to make the 4 hour journey to Jaipur.
Public transport within Jaipur is more than decent and quite affordable. The state tourism bus department runs full day, half day and night bus tours of the Pink City. Auto-rickshaws are ubiquitous but do require steely nerves and, moreover, where drivers are concerned, patience, vigilance and diplomacy. Taxis are a much safer and, for the most part, friendlier alternative. Though Jaipur is not necessarily a pedestrian-progressive metropolis, enclaves within the old city really should be explored on foot.
