Acme is fine for oysters but their po' boys never make any of the "top" lists. Take a bus trip up to Mahoney's on Magazine for a great peacemaker. As for oysters, I sometimes go across the street where there is never a line and you usually can get right up to the bar for great oysters. My favorite deal though it Luke's on St. Charles where, during happy hour, the oysters are 50 cents a piece. Try stopping at one dozen at that price.

I've lived in DC since '91 and only had pit beef for the first time last fall, it is amazing how good it is b/c at first say to yourself, "it's just roast beef."

I've had this sandwich and the review almost doesn't do it justice. Fast Gourmet is a real find.

I think Carla may have been given a pass b/c she is generally so good. I think the judges do take past performance into account even if Bravo doesn't show it.

I can't believe at a Target, no one went for a Fry Daddy?

Sous Chef for life? Cheesiest line ever

Ribeye. I has the most flavor

I almost stopped reading when dislikes included pickles but you got me back with the Cheez Wiz.

My favorite memory of tacos is Christmas. We have a tradition in my family started by my father which is that the Saturday before the Saturday before Christmas is known as Taco Saturday which is the day that you get the tree. We are from the Northeast, and my dad's reckoning was that you got cold going out to get the tree and what could be a better day to warm up than with some nice hot tacos. I still have visions of my mother standing in front of the stove frying up the corn tortillas making a mess of her kitchen trying to make enough tacos for three growing boys and my Dad. My wife and I still celebrate this day to this day.
