		<description><![CDATA[I was sitting in SD26 in Manhattan with my cousin and her husband.  Mitch started by saying that although it was a good restaurant, SD26 probably wouldn&#8217;t make the list of the top 50 restaurants in New York. He compared the restaurants in Connecticut where they have a house to those in Manhattan.
&#8220;In Connecticut, they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My last night in Shepherdstown, I went back to the Press Room. Comparing menus with the Stone Bistro, I wanted to eat more of the things on Press Room&#8217;s posted menus. Besides, I wanted ramps.
THINGS SAID: The hostess wanted to seat me at a two-top right next to two women in a booth. I asked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In between the miles of duck breast and short ribs, I&#8217;ve been longing for something light. So when the server at the Press Room mentioned shad roe, I was hooked. My grandmother used to make shad roe, which she called somewhat redundently, roe of the fish (or perhaps, roe of The Fish since shad is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those who like restaurant history, Jan Whittaker&#8217;s victualling.wordpress.com is a great slice of culinary history. Great pictures, good articles, some good research. Looking for answers to the time-honored questions, try it. Where was the Cheeseburger invented and by whom? What of the coffeehouse phenomena? The relationship of credit cards (specifically the Diner&#8217;s Club card) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ate at Buca&#8217;s again last night and this time I ordered correctly. Clams in a tomato broth, a salad of fresh cheese, proscuitto, and arugula. The waitress dropped off a lemon slice, which complemented the salad perfectly.
Dinner was a Vitello Rosa, 2 breaded cutlets in a dark wine sauce with dried cherries and sun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Had dinner tonight in my favorite Italian restaurant on the Cape&#8211;Buca&#8217;s in Harwich. Been looking forward to it for a while. I took our friend Maureen who now lives in Eastham, who knows how I feel about Buca&#8217;s.
The appetizers were two raviolis, with blue cheese and figs, and a Tuscan Crab Bisque. The bisque was [...]]]></description>

Galloway dispenses the usual tales of drunkards, dopers, and the clinically insane from both sides of the table as well as the kitchen.His penchant for abbreviations and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The thing about food conventions is that the food is definitely better than, say, a computer graphics convention. I&#8217;ve ended up with two great meals at the IACP in Denver&#8211;Rioja Restaurant and Biker Jims Gourmet Dogs.
Rioja Restaurant claims Mediterranean influence but it is equally Asian inspired. By a set of coincidences, I ended up eating [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The problem with trying to create an authentic ethnic restaurant in this country is that the authentic foods must be shipped in, raising their price and, often, requiring the restaurant to educate its diners. MESA VERDE MEXICAN RESTAURANT in Greenfield (10 Fiske Avenue; 772-2531; www.mesaverdegreenfield.com) is a taqueria that is authentic enough, but it cares [...]]]></description>
