What time do you eat dinner ?

I think the readership of this site must be exceptionally old! Us young 'uns tend to eat at 8.

Imo's Pizza: St. Louis' Inexplicably Addictive Pie

It's called "Toasted Ravioli" not "Fried Ravioli," y'all - even if the later is a better description. In addition to toasted ravs, I'd be interested to know if anyone knew the origins of the "St. Paul Sandwich," (egg foo young on a white bun w/ lettuce and mayo) another odd St. Louis food phenomenon.

Needed: a meal that would win a man's heart!

I'd shy away from a heavy meal like beef, beer, and starch. You don't want him sitting on the couch loosening his belt and falling asleep afterwards do you? I did a tuscan chicken w/ white beans, polenta and carrots for my bf which was flavorful and satisfying, but didn't leave us too full for post-prandial activities.

From A Hamburger Today

Hamburger Mary's, a Gay-Friendly Burger Franchise

I've been to the Hamburger Mary's in Andersonville (Chicago). It's obnoxious and the foods is maybe a little better than TGI Fridays. I'd suggest working on gay marriage and equal rights first and then turning our attention to making sure the gay community has its own crappy "casual dining" chains.

Hot Beef Sundaes in Lincoln, Nebraska

I went to a wedding--fairly swank otherwise--where they had a mashed potato bar: the caterer put a ball of potatoes in a martini glass for you and then you went through covering it with the usual toppings. Kind of the same idea, and also unappetizing!

Soda, cola, pop, coke, etc.?

I grew up in St. Louis, which was a strange "soda" outpost in the midst of "pop" land.

Top Chef: Block Rockin' Eats

They were on Richmond Street in the Ravenswood neighborhood. Great 'hood. Joan Cusak lives there!

Eating out in Chicago!

I moved away. Now I miss these non-chains:
1. Blind Faith Cafe (amazing veg restaurant in Evanston. You won't believe what they can do with seitan!)
2. El Barco (mexican place on Ashland that keeps it real)
3. Rick Bayless's places
4. Mirai Sushi in Wicker Park
5. Flo (so so good for mexican-inspired brunch)
