Josh Radigan Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 agreed with Vaso's, simple, good food, not earth shattering, and service that is there, not obtrusive or flaky. i find that some places thathave that Mom and Pop feel almost dumb down service to make it seem quirky, when in fact its sheer lazy, but not Vaso's.

DonRocks Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Range? (Porcupine seems to like places with nice pottery plates ) Indeed. This dish looks like a mayonnaise-heavy lobster and macaroni salad in a new, hip restaurant with hand-made pottery plates. It could be Izakaya Seki (but with wheat pasta?), Fiola (but with this much mayo?), or any of a number of other places. I love this game because it's beautiful, harmless, fun, challenging, educational - both geographically and culturally, and good old-fashioned Mental P.E. Any hints, porcupine? The nationality is not at all clear to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 ^the Cheezepowder got it - Range. Maybe I am subconciously attracted to nice pottery.... Anyway, it's the lobster macaroni and cheese, a dish that I think jumped the shark more than a year ago and is trite, except that this version was freakin' fantastic. Do hip restaurants have containers of sugar, Splenda and Equal packets on the table? Yes, if Mr P is there drinking iced tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheezepowder Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 You've obviously never been to Chubby's. Nope The reason I guessed Chubby's is because bookluvingbabe posted a bowl of chili from Chubby's upthread that was in a pottery crock. I figured I'd take a shot at Chubby's even though porcupine's bowl is different. Here's another picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Not Chubby's, but here's a clue: it's in that direction. Your dish is beautiful. The food looks pretty good, too. Poached eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
