Hot Dog Of The Week: Detroit Coneys
I've been going to Lafayette for over 40 years. I think our kids first taste of meat was the Coney sauce. It's our family's favorite place.
We just saw the film "Whip It" with Ellen Page an Drew Barrymore. Part of it was filmed in Detroit, and the food fight scene was filmed at Lafayette Coney Island. I'd recognize that place anywhere.
Serious Grape: A Mixed Case of Interesting Reds and Whites for Fall
Good list. I have tried just about every one of these and enjoyed them.
I would also suggest Picpul de Pinet from southern France, usually about $10.

A very good idea!
If you looked at my wine cellar (closet) 10 years ago you would have seen many more merlots and cabs than now.
I have slowly come to appreciate riesling and rose' (although it is getting harder to find rose' from Tavel) and how versatile they are. Sparkling wine, Cote' du Rhone reds and Spanish whites are also staring to fill up my shelves.
There are plenty of reasons to drink Bordeaux or chardonnay, but the case of wine you described would be very welcome in our house.
