Best Hangover Food?
no one can beat Quebec for a hangover cure.... POUTINE!!!
(if you don't know what this is, it's a huge pile of thick-cut, greasy french fries, smothered in delicious gravy and topped with melty cheese curds. mmmmm)
Eating Out In Vancouver, BC
my very favourite restaurants to eat in in vancouver are La Buca (4025 MacDonald Street) and Parkside (1906 Haro Street in the west end) -- both by the same fantastic chef. They're both small places with an emphasis on locally grown foods etc. You can check out their menus online by googling their names + vancouver. I can't recommend them highly enough!!

Try to eat a big bowl of cheesy, buttery rice before you go to bed. Eat more in the morning with cold cola.
Best Hangover Food?
I go for salt and vinegar potato chips every time. preferably the Dirty brand. My sister's new favorite thing to do/place to eat to remedy a hangover is the Russian Baths, for you NYC folk. (http://mousebouche.blogspot.com/2008/07/for-what-ails-you.html)

Was this the girl who said she did not care what bloggers said about her? Oh now she cares! Ha! I like her less than Marcel, he at least was funny.

Lisa just made that soup for family meal at Mai House. It's fantastic.
Q & A: Top Chef's Lisa Fernandes
I find it really bizarre that Lisa expected the win. Stephanie and Richard were very clearly the front runners going in. Lisa may have made a solid final meal, but it certainly was not better than Stephanie's, and Stephanie clearly was the superior chef throughout the series, earning win after win week after week. Wasn't Lisa's only win a group challenge?
I do, however, think its a nice picture, and I would really like to try that soup and soup dumpling from the finale.

@tori_t: it's not just Lisa, it's all the contestants, though. They all have magically lost 10-20 pounds via the magic of Photoshop.
Q & A: Top Chef's Lisa Fernandes
Honestly I think she might've just hired a good PR person, because most of these answers seem staged and reserved. I have more respect for someone who's a complete bitch but honest about it than for someone who's clearly glossing over things that, editing or not, came out of her mouth.
I also have always hated how arrogant she is about being a good chef - every other chef admitted it when they'd messed up, but she continues to assert (even in this interview) that nothing's her fault. I've never heard her take responsibility for a single dish, except the good ones, of course. I'd still like to hear her explain the Great Rice Sabotage Scandal of 2008.....
