  • you need to get your priorities straight, cop beer!!!! Quebec micros are off the hook. Trou Du Diable Dieu Du Ciel Microbrasserie Charlevoix Then take a ride on a bixi and eat at Le Comptoir.
  • Rocking a 1990 Bianchi Ocelot lugged tange cromo for my commuter. Made it city worthy with assorted upgrades (saddle, seatpost, freewheel (yes freewheel, it's old), chain, semi-slicks. Most importantly, rocking an airzound. Gave up my car a …

  • Carribean Roti Palace and Pam's both serve a better roti imo. There is another location of She Said Boom on Roncesvalles, so so...........your best bet if Cosmos' is too pricey is to head to ric's. Tuneup on here sells privately, you s…
  • I feel the quiet stoicism the 180 workers are going about their jobs is reflective of Japanese culture overall. A lot of them are heading into certain death, yet they soldier on. Sacrificing themselves for the greater good, would you do the same if …

  • Finding a trustworthy knife sharpener is like finding a barber or tailor. People are fiercely loyal to their choices, it's like a marriage. Best suggestion, before sending your knives in for sharpening is to ask lots of question. 1. Do…

  • DJ_Enki said: How easy is the whetstone method? Or, more accurately, how easy is it to fuck up your blades if you don't really know what you're doing? I'd love to be able to sharpen my knives myself, but I'm wary of ruining them due to total …

  • I'd say that dude needs to put more water on his stone as it's sounding rather dry. So yes, I use a progression of Japanese synthetic waterstones. More important is that I flatten the stones after each usage with a diamond flattening plate. I…

  • I think the most important thing I forgot to mention is that a sharp knife is a safe knife. You will use much less force cutting, minimizing slippage from over-exertion. Even if you cut yourself, a sharp knife produces a much cleaner wound, which he…

  • batmon - you're referring to Korin, which is one of the first retailers to push Japanese knives in N. America. Pretty much any and all cooks in the NYC fine dining scene get their knives there. The other two options locally for nyc'ers are Seito Tra…

  • def a white folk thing to keep shoes on. You will never see an Asian with shoes in someone's house. Your feet need to breath, can't have them huddled in shoes 24/7. Ever go to a public bathroom? You want the same soles touching the floor righ…

  • I saw very little value in twitter until recent news events allowed for a new avenue of dissemination. Especially in cases where traditional media access is restricted. Iran was one, but the Xinjiang protests helped prove twitter's usefulness even …
  • I want to ask a question, where would you go to buy your meat? Have you had the chance to taste the difference of meat depending on diet? Slaughtered at different points of the year thus having different taste due to seasonal diet (hay, grass, grai…

  • No offense, but ramen and vegetarian never belong in the same sentence.
  • That wait is murder, I try to go during off times. 90 mins wait is just ridiculous. Get the akamaru shin-aji, and the pork buns next time. Ask for the garlic press. Finally, real thai should burn your tongue, they truly eat everything that hot…
  • Ippudo's vibe might be contrived and overpriced, but the ramen is top notch, cannot deny that. It's #2 behind Santouka for best in America imo. Their pork buns are great too. Minca while decent, is not for the faint of heart in the heat of summer. …

  • I would take a cab to difara's...
  • I'd say just get an imac (w/ 2nd monitor) and buy some 4gb ram when the prices go down in a year or so. Macpros are simply too expensive, it's a very limited market nowadays (video/science) considering the inroads the imac have made in the professi…
