...carrot to resolve the North Korea crisis, Washington has offered a resumption of food and energy aid, as well as some form of written guarantee that the U.S. will respect the country's sovereignty and security. The North Korean response was decidedly snotty (it described President Bush's offer as a "deceptive drama to mislead world opinion") but analysts interpret the remarks as typically shrill North Korean bargaining. Pyongyang will try and hold out for a formal non-aggression pact, while the Bush Administration will likely offer some lesser form of written security guarantee. But the nuclear brinkmanship appears designed...
...tall food is the ambition of Hong Kong's newest subcontinental outlet, Veda. It specializes in delicious designer presentations reminiscent of early-'90s nouvelle cuisine.

Lee prefers the stick to the carrot, and would halt assistance until the crisis is resolved. "What has (the Sunshine Policy) brought us?" he asks. "It has brought us nuclear weapons...
...much organic meat and produce as possible, and does so with the help of local farms. An earthy sort of goodness is evident in dishes such as the seared scallop special ($23). Five fresh, tender and juicy scallops surround an herbalita red wine reduction of bacon, celery, onion, carrot and gigante beans atop a mild turnip puree. The bland turnip does not add much to the scallops, which are quite tasty in their own right, and the bread pudding-esque herbalita is fatty and almost slimy, a poor textual complement for the scallops.
