LaRosa's: A Tradition Cincinnatians Should Not Be Proud Of

I agree that LaRosa's is terribly disappointing. I went to the one in Norwood where I was staying at a nearby hotel for a conference after reading rave reviews. But I found it bland. Columbus, where I live, does have better pizza. Check out Joseppi's on the Westside if you want thin crust.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Garrison Confections' Garrison Big Box

Depends on what it's for. Mostly I like Milk for just eating and Dark for inclusion in desserts.

Cook the Book: 'Think Like a Chef'

Braising. Although deep frying if I could more often without seriously endangering my health.

Walking into the Grocery..wanting a cheap bottle of wine...

Protocolo is a great South American red with a little spice to it. Usually I see it for around $8.

As a kid, I liked to drink______

We drank the cheaper version of Kool-Aid--Wyler's. And for special occasions, like camping, we might get store brand Red Pop. I did drink plenty of water from the garden hose, too. :)

Where's everybody from?

Columbus, OH. I mostly shop at Whole Foods or the Wild Oats (probably soon to be closed when bought by Whole Foods) or Sunflower Marketplace, but the more conveniently located Krogers and Giant Eagles still fit the bill when I just need some staples. We also have The North Market, a conglomeration of local shops, farmers, artisans, which is great for specialty foods.

What can't you cook after, trying over and over again?

Pancakes. Seems the temperature is never quite right for me and they just don't come out round.

Question of the Day: What are your hometown favorite eats?

I'm from the extremely tiny village of Sunfield, MI (while actually, a township--read farm land-- outside of it, but close enough), so the only place to go is the Old Timers' bar, where they do have quite good wet burritos. I do enjoy a good wet burrito (with so much sauce and cheese piled one shouldn't think about the calories being ingested), and I've only encountered them once outside of MI.

Question of the Day: Memorable fortune cookies ...

I once had the fortune "You love Chinese food." I guess that's a safe thing to put in a fortune cookie!

Top 5 reason you dislike a restaurant, besides the food

1. Poor service!
2. Food not cooked to order
3. Inconsistency
4. Sloppy marketing (a local wine bar/bistro sends out a newsletter that consistently promotes events and forgets to tell you the day and/or time--and occasionally lists the wrong time--they've lost a lot of potential business from me because of this)
5. Noise (I agree with the TV comment for all eating establishments except sports bars where the eating is really secondary.)

Overall, the best restaurants seem to know their market, stick to what will make that market happy, and are clear in their advertising what kind of restaurant atmosphere they offer. Different people want different things out of a restaurant, and I appreciate it when a restaurant gives me realistic expectations and delivers on those expectations.
