The bakery makes only two dishes: pita sandwiches and sphiha. Within this simplicity, though, lies culinary greatness. More than half of the sphihas are strictly veggie affairs, but not the expected roughage-heavy dishes. Instead, the main ingredients are spicesand not the spicy kind.... More >> |

Some advice while visiting Alertos: Get a half-order of carne asada nachos, not the full order. The only difference between the two is the price. Both have the same amount of freshly fried chips smothered in cheese, beans, tender cubes of steak, pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. ... More >> |

I defy anyone to find a finer summer Friday night than the kind you get at Angelo's: a burger-fries-and-Coke combo for 6 bucks, a girl/boy by your side, nameless kids chucking pickles at one another, buxom waitresses skating without pause, and the half-Latino, half-white crowd communally willing...

While the Avanti menu is strictly vegetarian, with faux meats and cheese, the steak-and-potatoes crowd will hardly notice or care. Every entrée, appetizer and dessert springs with flavor and heftiness. Is there anything more mainstream than a morning cup of joe washing down crunchy waffles? More >> |

Thong Johnson, owner of Bangkok Taste, knows how to pack heat into her torrid Thai creations, like her luscious green curry and her garlic shrimp; no other Thai place I know of makes its own ice cream like Johnson's does. More >> |

Youre tolerating brusque customer service here for the 10 choices of bánh mì, the foot-long sandwich that is one of the most delicious robberies in the gustatory world at $1.50 per stickup. Barbecue pork is charred to a ruddy crispness, yet its moist. Meatballs are... More >> |

Start doing the math and you conclude that every barbecue place you've gone before Blake's has overcharged you. But apart from the reasonable rates, you marvel at how they've managed to make it look so easy. The food is served on Styrofoam plates; drinks are self-poured from a soda machine. This... More >> |

They have two types of crab, but their specialty is crawfish, boiled in a large plastic bag full of Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic butter, or a combination of all three. It comes to your paper-bedecked table in a pail, and you go to work, prying open the heads and sucking out the innards... More >> |
