Would, without a doubt, beat the last meal we had at Fatty Crab in the Village.

My mate and I like to go the Bistro Zinc in Lennox, MA for lunch. The last time we were there we ate at the bar as usual. The bartender was a youngish guy in his 30's. He was casual but attentive. Since it was slow we began to talk with him about Saratoga Springs and the race track. Then he proceeds to tell us of a friend who manages the track's parking facilities. We talked of the famous Siro's restaurant, a Saratoga landmark. Bartenders know lots of people and he proceeded to tell us of other people in the business. He was fascinating. I told him that I hardly ever drink during the day. He said the same. He added "but at night, watch out!" I agreed and we all laughed. He not only served us very well, but it was like having a friend dining with you.

Eat at The Delachaise

We have both. The Weber without the igniter is about $80. Use lump hardwood charcoal rather than briquets. You have a fire in 20 minutes. The gas grill takes 15 minutes to heat up. So if it's the flavor you want go for the Weber.

It's quality of the flour not the water. Quality bread flour, some whole wheat and high gluten and then watch it rise.

Lambs chops marinated in olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne and grilled over charcoal with roasted herb infested potatoes accompanied by Rioja and Ribera del Duero.

The Delachaise

Capacola, roasted red peppers, black olive pate, Italian hot red pepper paste, caciocavallo cheese on Bread Alone's sesame semolina
