Did you notice its name? La Tomate. What the hell is that? I think they're trying to say tomato in Italian, but that would be "Il Pomodoro." La Tomate. If their food wasn't so good, I would refuse to go there. |
|
i think its obvious they are being grammatically incorrect. there's a restaurant here Hollywood called LaPoubelle, which, as I understand it, means "the trash". I don't know what or where Im eating for dinner. |

Although "vagina" is masculine in French, so go figure. |

The first time I went there I was 21 and the wonderful very-french female owner told me that I had the wrong wine for what I ordered and if I wanted it, I would have to go get a different wine (it's BYO). I did. Not because I was intimidated by her but because she showed such urgent sincerity. The woman who recommended the restaurant to me (whose name is really quite gorgeous - Rebel Querida Penfold-*******), told me later that I must have appealed to the owner because normally she just sniffed. The only restaurant of the same name I could find on the net is located at "butte Montmarte" which I think translates to our "lady of the ass". Sounds like my old primary school. |
It's for my birthday. This pizza is yum. LS |
so is old chicago. christ. |
The Tom Yuong Goong soup (or however you spell it) is the best I've ever had. It's so spicy that I sweat down the back of my head and neck (that's how I know something's really hot -- a light sweat on the brow is mild, top of the head and flushed face, medium, and back of the head and neck with glasses fogging up, hot). The entrees are so so, but the soup makes it worthwhile. Turns out Stuckey's was closed on Friday because the executive chef fell ill, so in living up to their high culinary standards, they felt it would be best to close down while the chef recuperated rather than offer second rate meals cooked by the understudies. |
So we went to Bread and Chocolate in Bethesda, instead. It's a bakery/cafè that serves a lot of Continental dishes (like schiacciata con l'uva, birchermüesli, stifado, etc.) and really good pastries. I had a blackberry tarte -- huge blackberries that burst between your teeth. Delicious. |
The brewery, as usual, was skank. |

I ate lunch in a little "all natural" type of place in Wolfboro, New Hampshire last saturday. It was so yummy. It was called Lydia's Cafe. I got a veggie burrito, but it was hard to decide since everything on the menu (chalkboard) looked so good. The walls were purple sponged and the counters were yellow and they had local photography on the walls. Very fun. |

Droops, you'd provably also love some of the Thai proverbs. They're almost exactly like the english ones, but with a different twist...like (pron.)Rorng hai nam dtah bpen pao dtah (Crying like a turtle being grilled) is our equivalent of "crying your eyes out". |
