    Restaurant/food recommendations for NYC?

    Yeah that was pretty harsh, but I think it's still worth a try if you've never been and decide for yourself.

    Restaurant/food recommendations for NYC?

    Junior's for their cheesecake, Peter Luger for their porterhouse and then their 'schlag' (whipped cream), Katz's Deli for their pastrami. Enjoy your trip :)

    Whisk(e)y

    Ouch, too bad about the nut allergy, I guess you will not like anything from Jim Beam, since most of their stuff has the 'Beam funk', which has been described as a peanut flavor.  Personally, I really like it, but I don't have nut allergies.  I don't care for the smoky peaty flavor, so I don't...

    I drink maybe an ounce or two whenever I'm with drinking with friends, which averages maybe twice a month.  I'm much more of a collector than drinker.  Still have my first bottle of Macallan 12 from over 10 years ago.  But I'm down to maybe the last couple of inches of my first Kavalan Solist...

    Yeah I saw that, I have it on my K&L online waiting list.  But since I already have one (albeit a different batch), I didn't feel the need to get another one.  I waiting for my order of Stagg Jr. (managed to snag one just in time) and their store pick Russell's Reserve single barrel.  Good base...

    Haven't stopped by Hi Time yet, definitely on my to do list.  Agree on the ECBP being a very good bourbon, I have the A118 batch, which one do you have?  It tends to be a tougher one to find at retail price, ever since it (the B517 batch) won the award for best whiskey last year.  I can get it...

    Whiskey is definitely very trendy these days, I started my journey with Macallan 12 scotch and it is still one of my favorites.  I have several Kavalan Solist cask strength whiskies, and highly recommend the sherry and vinho barrique if you like rich and full bodied sipping whiskies.  As for the...

    Coffee Talk

    85C bakery in Diamond Jamboree plaza has their signature drink sea salt coffee for $0.85 (any size) on Mondays.  Limit 4. Went there today and there was a longer bread line, since they closed the drink line.  As a result, many people ordered 4 drinks (same price as 1 at regular price) so there...

    Where do most you non-FCBs go grocery shopping?

    Yea I saw that at the 99 Ranch.  Guess it's the most efficient way to dispatch a live fish - percussive stunning.  The other would be to stick a needle into the fish's brain, but that's a lot harder to do while the fish is moving.

    White Students? Unfair Advantage in Admissions

    Probably not, who's really going to check and report them? Besides, we know that race is now fluid, so we all can make plausible claims.  Exhibit A: http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/choosing-your-own-definition-of-race-becoming-fluid/ It's all about branding and establishing a good...

    Minimum Wage Increase Impact/Effect

    As a result, you get more and more food trucks for those who want a quick start-up! :P If you are successful at that, and manage your finances wisely, perhaps you'll get a shot at your own Irvine restaurant being successful.  If there's the will, people will find a way.
