...decided to order enough food for 12. None of it proved disappointing. The veggie plate is billed as an entree, but it proved the perfect appetizer to share, offering a sample of every vegetable on the menu. Arranged artfully on the giant platter were mashed spiced yams, mashed new potatoes, light and crispy fried green tomatoes, pencilthin sweet potato fries, black-eyed peas topping cheesy grits with tomato relish, and the inevitable nods to yuppies everywhere: mesclun greens with vinaigrette and portabella mushrooms roasted with goat cheese and walnut stuffing. Gourmandized Southern has never been so tasty, sopped up with...
...never edge out jambalaya where it counts. But perhaps it should. Topped with lightly fried beer-battered shrimp, the succulent fish swam on top of a vaguely tangy mustard sauce. The plate was livened by spicy sauteed collard greens--or perhaps it was the more raffine kale--and mashed potatoes.

The combination is neither nouveu Americain nor specifically Eastern European but rather a unique invention...
...your bike lock will be their proctologist. Or say you're shopping with a female friend, and she has just spent the last 3 hours trying to find the perfect brown shirt-the last 3,000 shades of brown are unacceptable because apparently they make her "look like a potato." You get her attention and tap your watch, indicating to her that you could have purchased an entirely new wardrobe and knitted her a brown shirt by now, and you wish to leave this hell of fashion indecisiveness before it's too late. International Signs are everywhere, used not just...
