    2012 50 Best Restaurants in the World List

    Comes out tomorrow... any predictions? I'm curious if Next makes the list - and how they treat Next/Alinea (I felt like they started ignoring French Laundry because they didn't want Per Se and French Laundry both very close to each other on the list).

    Antique Chrome Latherizer

    I will basically send this for free (you just pay the shipping). I will take a pic if necessary, but here's the deal. It's a 1960's or 1970's Latherizer (as in the machine at the barber shop that creates hot lather). It is all chrome, which is not common these days. It needs very badly to be...

    Etiquette Question: Checking Over-Shoes

    I have a black-tie tonight and it's raining. What is the etiquette on wearing and then checking a pair of totes? I'm assuming it's a no, but I'm certainly not going to wear my good shoes out in this kind of rain.

    SF Hashers

    How many other SFers hash? Posted in SLF&D because it is a drinking club first, and because I don't read health and fitness.

    Life on the Line - Grant Achatz

    Just got done reading "Life on the Line" - what an amazing and inspirational book. I'm sure this belongs in the entertainment sub-forum, but I think it will appeal to the folks that read this one more.

    Business Focused Reality Shows

    I'm a little curious if it is because I have been to b-school, or it's just a general truth. I think there is a tremendous amount of knowledge to be gained by watching business focused reality shows. The apprentice is probably not so good, but Shark Tank and America's Next Great Restaurant...

    Crowdsourcing - I Need quick Help with an idea

    I really do need help with one thing right now, but hopefully this can be a standing thread for quick help. I need one word that conveys "use more of the available functionality in the product you have purchased" or "leverage the tools you have more/better"

    2011 James Beard award nominees

    So - the nominations are in - some things as expected, and some surprises - good and bad. Pulling for the Girl and the Goat for best new restaurant. Not sure how Charles Phan found himself in the company of Kahan, Danko, and Andres. I'm pulling for the Brombergs on restaurateur... Melman lost it...

    grant achatz baby food ?!?!?!?!?

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/featur...0,341095.story So - Grant posted it on Facebook w/ the caption "Did I sleep for 2 weeks? Is it April 1 already?" Now I can't figure out if he's fooling or the Chicago Tribune is just making **** up.

    New Chicago Paul Stuart Location in the Loop

    Just passed by a building on Lasalle and Adams (near the big Brooks) and saw a sign that Paul Stuart is coming soon. Will that be in addition to the Townhouse? Or is it moving?? Anybody know?

    Is Stewart Scott rocking a Glennie?!?!?!

    SSIA - I can't tell for sure, but it's very Glennie-esque if not.. I smell a lawsuit for patent violation

    New NM Last Call on-line store

    Just got an email about the new NM Last Call on-line store ... selection kind of blows. Very disappointed. I guess you still have to go to the b&m stores to get the deals on Paul Smith, Etro, Borelli, Sutor, etc.

    Semifreddo

    I have had a semifreddo twice this week for dessert at pretty respectable San Francisco restaurants. I have always understood that the "semi" in the name referred to a state of half-frozenness.... but in both cases, the dessert was rock hard. Is that the way it is meant to be served?

    How firm/soft should my roast beets be?

    I like a little firmness in the middle... able to get a fork through, but a little resistance. I feel like most restaurants get them fully soft all the way in. Is it unacceptable to go a little firm?

    Anyone planning to check out the new Arcam USB rDAC?

    http://www.computeraudiophile.com/co...rDAC-Async-USB I just had to replace my 10 year old CD player. I went lower end (NAD 515) because I think I want to build a setup using a PC as the transport so I can also take advantage of Sirius and high-quality Internet Streaming audio. This Arcam looks...
