Reproduced from yesterday's New York Times: The Restaurant Service Charge Isn’t Going Anywhere These added-on fees confuse diners and even employees, but more owners are relying on them to help make a tough business work. By Priya Krishna Priya Krishna spends several weeks traveling the...

We get on sky a murican show starring a brit robert irvine. He goes Into a struggling business and with 10k and 2 days gives it a makeover . Im getting new quick recipes and enjoying them. Anyone here watch this?? We watch it week nights. Transformation is amazing Russ

How do restaurants prepare complex foods / recipes in a much shorter time than it usually takes at home? I take this food as an example: View: https://youtu.be/u66pG73UroY I had kept chopped onion, cut tomato pieces, cashew milk, marinated chicken etc. ready before I turned on the stove. But...

From 6 April hospitality businesses with more than 250 employees will have to list calorie information for each dish. Items that are on the menu for less than 30 days will be exempt from the rule, but there are concerns it could stifle creativity in the kitchen. Chef warns calorie counts on...

I have done both. Any examples? The most recent example I remember (which was a while back) was when I ordered a pizza with an egg broken on top. I stressed to the waiter when I ordered it that I wanted a runny yolk. And well... it wasn't. They got it right, after it got sent back.

I spoke with my niece today (via text), and I thought I'd relay some of what we talked about, to get a few opinions here. The scenario: she was eating breakfast in a resort hotel restaurant. She's not traveling, it's just in her neighborhood and serves the public and hotel guests. Anyhoo, the...

Just curious...when you're in a restaurant perusing a menu, do you ever look at a particular dish, think, "That's something my friends on CB would like to see...I'm ordering that," and that's the determining factor or tie-breaker if more than one thing sounds good? I don't think I have, but now...

Ciao! I've been trying to perfect Ragu alla Bolognese for several years (I attempt it maybe once every one or two months). I have been following the official recipe, I have used the best ingredients available to me without skimping (good meat, good wine, good pancetta, San Marzano tomatoes)...

It is very likely that here in Wales we are about to enter a second lockdown (from next Friday). The news has hit me like a ton of bricks, so decided to treat myself to a restaurant night out at home. Saw an online post for Haar At Home and decided to give it a try. We live quite a rural...

It's a Sunday and the wife likes to organise a week or two ahead. So it's just over two weeks to go and as I normally cook on Sunday's, I made the decision. I booked yesterday my fave Chinese restaurant, Daphne's, a private room. They have two private rooms for around 12 people. Kids told...

Most likely it will be one of our breakfast spots. For dinner, Casa Maya for Mexican. Cinco de Mayo is Karen's BD, but I doubt it wll open for sit down service before then. :headshake:

When was the first time you went to a restaurant? When I was growing up we never ate in restaurants - unless, that is, you count the café in the Co-op department store in Portsmouth where very occasionally we would get a midday meal. I can't remember what it was we ate. First proper restaurant...

This is purely fantasy for those of us who will never own a restaurant. I think we have one or two members who do own restaurants or diners, so you guys will have to be kind to the rest of us. So - the question is: if you owned a restaurant, what would be on the menu? What style and type of...

Found this quiz about the cost of eating in Michelin star restaurants around the world. I only score 2 out of 10...Genuinely shocked at the prices. https://www.bateauxlondon.com/quiz/index.html

I'm a big fan of Chinese cuisine. But I'm very picky about which Chinese place that I dine at. The trick is, for me, I try to find a good one & stick with it. That way, you know that you are getting good food & your money's worth!! But what I'd like to know is why did Chinese restaurants stop...

For some people, there's nothing quite like the food from home. Here's a case where someone did something about that (reported January 13th): http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/15826622._Aloo_Aloo____special_curry_flight_from_Hampshire_to_France/ A BRITISH ex-pat curry addict who was missing his...

I don't generally complain in a restaurant if something is not to my taste, only if food is unsafe or really bad. Today we visited a steak house for lunch that has great reviews both online and with locals. The food was dire. The chef proprietor was a nice young guy and had only opened 5 months...

Lunchtime yesterday had me pondering on acceptable noise levels in restaurants. Pondering was about all I could do having given up trying to hold a conversation above the level of background noise. We were trying out a restaurant that had been recommended to us recently. It was a lovely setting...
