The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act Goes to the Senate This Week

"While the details are somewhat convoluted.."
How is this different from any other legislation that Harry Reid introduces?

36 Hours in New Orleans: Where to Eat

I imagine that if there were 100 comments, there would be that many different suggestions since NOLA is full of so manay good places, but here's my 2 cents:
Please U-funky breakfast spot on St. Charles
Crescent City Brewery-far better than regular brewpub fare-try the Seafood Cheesecake!!
Farmer's Market-there's a great bread stand there.
Go during JazzFest-great food on the grounds!

San Antonio Restaurant Recommendations?

Biga's on the Banks
Biga's chef and owner Bruce J. Auden has been nominated for the James Beard Foundation Award, The restaurant was also named by Gourmet Magazines as one of America's Best Restaurants.

For BBQ, go to Luling City Meat Market-it's not too far.
And a visit to the historic Liberty Bar is a must-it's a short cab ride from downtown :
