Thing is, I asked if there were any warm ones and the lady was kind of rude about it, so am not sure how to get a warm one there. Maybe the only way to compare the two is to eat a cold Jacques Torres, but who would want to do that? So, based on all that, I've decided to declare that Jacques Torres is better, at least until I try a warn Petrossian :) It wasn’t warm, and you’re right, it probably isn’t a fair assessment until I try a warm one.

I can't say for sure until I have a fresh/warm Petrossian but based on what I've heard from you in the past, I have a feeling I'll agree with your assessment. Before Sunrise,

I was somewhat disappointed. I definitely prefer Jacques Torres over this one. Had a Petrossian chocolate chip pecan today…. I was somewhat disappointed.

Slim pickings in that NYT piece. Then again, I"m not a huge Asian sweets fan. *But* I have been to Poseidon and the big, bad baklava kicks ass. FoodGuy & Before Sunrise,

Agreed. Slim pickings in that NYT piece. Then again, I”m not a huge Asian sweets fan. *But* I have been to Poseidon and the big, bad baklava kicks ass.

I don't know my way around it all that well either, I just stick to what I know :) My favourite foods to cook are the easy ones :) I like to come up with different sauces and toppings for pasta; I have begun to enjoy cooking meat more; I'd love to make pizza at home, but never have (I'd like to buy a stone to put it on); stir fries; beans; rice; salads; sandwiches. I made a beef chilli this weekend for the first time and it came out pretty good. I try to experiment with new things as much as I can... As for Brazilian food, I don't really cook it all that much, but there is some really good stuff to try. Look at this restaurant's website, it gives you a rundown of many regional dishes in Brazil: http://www.casarestaurant.com/ What do you like to cook? FG,

I wouldn't know the first thing about cooking it and thanks to one big Indian meal and some other smaller Kati Roll experiences, I have a better idea when navigating an Indian menu but I'm still not running to try it again. Where's the best Indian you've had in the city? What are your favorite foods to cook? What are some Brazilian specialties you've brought up here with you? Before Sunrise,

Phil,

I’m not sure what’s up with the website, I haven’t had any trouble logging on. Is it working better for you now?
