...also had run out of half-bottles of our chosen wine, and generously offered us glasses on the house. The entrees that were available were admirably prepared and proved far less saucy than the appetizers. Grilled Beef Sirloin ($26) was cooked perfectly, medium rare, and served atop a savory potato and wild mushroom cake, accompanied by a sharp rocquefort sauce and tangy onion marmalade. Wilted greens lightened the deliciously rich dish. Veal Brisket ($23) was entirely devoid of grease without being desiccated, matched by soft roast pearl onion polenta. Sliced, cooked pear in mustard sauce and lightly fried onion rings...
...Bravely into the breach steps Couch Potato. While CNN is mired in weather footage, CP wants to show you newshounds at their best: tenacious, principled, witty and attractive. We're all like that. Really. Don't believe it? Just watch His Girl Friday (1940). Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell are the ink-stained beauties in Howard Hawks' razor-witted screwballer about a newspaper editor who tries to bring his ex-wife back into the fold with a nutty crusade for justice-by-media (and by relentlessly belittling her new fiance). Not to be missed...
...When the Hale story broke last week, Democrats quickly demanded a Justice Department investigation into the connection. But instead of rattling its sword, says Shannon, Justice did the clever thing: It passed the potato back to Starr. "Reno tested Starr by saying, 'Take care of this yourself. We'll see how much integrity you have now.' She put Starr in an embarrassing position, and he had to quit." Reno gets to look impartial; Starr gets taken down a notch. And if he wants to move to Malibu, now he'll have...
...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 overstuffed pork chop was way too sophisticated to hearken back to grand-ma's recipe. It came stuffed with apple and andouille sausage which cohered around moistened breadcrumbs. Black plum ketchup provided a foil for the smoky, spicy meat. The same potato and collard/kale accompaniments leant themselves more favorably...
