My vegetable-phobe husband suddenly takes an interest in broccoli when dipped in melted cheese.

I found out about it through this board. They have a large selection of prepared food (OU supervision)- chicken, kugel, etc., as well as plenty of kosher groceries. If I recall correctly, it took us about 30 minutes to get there from our hotel in Center City. http://www.jewishphilly.org/IR/community-directory.aspx?id=6626 EmpireState Mon, 14 May 2012 20:33:01 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/848988#7338667 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/844469#7338206 We are in Paris and enjoyed il palazzo near gallerie Lafayette koshergourmetmart Mon, 14 May 2012 17:39:57 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/844469#7338206 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/847408#7337451 Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf does have bagels, but I have no clue if they are any good. The other closest place to there with bagels is Milk 'N Honey which is on 45th street between 5th and 6th Aves. Their bagels are ok. EllieS Mon, 14 May 2012 11:08:21 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/847408#7337451 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/847405#7337281 I much prefer to use a meat thermometer over timing my meat. Also, what I do is based off of Cooks' Illustrated where they tested all types off cooking methods and found low heat to be the "best". The meat was juiciest and the same doneness from just under the surface to the center. I'm wondering, does your method come out like that or is it more well done toward the outside and rarer toward the center? (It's fine if it does, CI isn't right if you prefer it like that! :-) ) Also, 7 minutes per pound sounds fine if you're starting at 450, it takes a long time for the temperature in a closed oven to decrease!

Will there be cheese, meal mart meals, empire frozen fried chicken, pizza bagels? Any prepared food? Carolina Cupcakery sounds like a dream come true--especially because they've been on Cupcake Wars, one of our favorite shows. Are all the cupcakes in the Ghent location truly kosher? Are they as good as they look? How are the bagels at Yorgos? Are they worth the fact that nothing else there is kosher. Any other info much appreciated. Thanks. Any Shabbos meals up for purchase? If so, what were they like? cappucino Sun, 13 May 2012 23:22:32 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/849025#7336927 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/781925#7336824 Aroma was fabulous and easy to order delivery. Thanks for the tip! mamaleh Sun, 13 May 2012 21:56:14 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/781925#7336824 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/849004#7336567 Just wanted to give a bit of an update for those considering Maui for a meeting/honeymoon, etc. The couple who run Chabad of Maui were very sweet and cooked us (2people) enough for Shabbat that it lasted until Monday. Not sure if she could be persuaded to do meals during the week, though she is skilled/knowledgable enough to have put out her own cookbook (Maui Kosher?). Everything was double-wrapped and hotel-ready, the large pull-apart challah was homemade, whole-wheat, and really good, homemade spreads (chummous, eggplant, matbucha), gefilte fish, salmon, grilled chicken breast, roast chicken, brownies.....Everything fresh and tasty. Only thing is, you need a car and a gps. Their house is in an area called Kula, which is about 35-45 minutes from the hotels. We went on our way back from the volcano crater, so it was essentialy on the way. 2nd option was at the Hotel Grand Wailea, they have a kosher meal service through an LA caterer. The prices were a bit steep, but hey, you're in Maui, and Pardes isnt opening there anytime soon. At least I can say the meals were pretty good, for food that was frozen and shipped from LA. Pasta dishes (w/chicken or salmon) actually seemed to travel well, steak- not so much, halibut- very nice. the hotel was also great, but thats a discussion for another site. If you have cooking facilities, I hear the Costco has frozen mealmart stuff, i.e. ribs/stuffed cabbage, as well as some kosher wine (moscato d'asti via chabad), so if you're looking to save a bit, thats an option as well. Stopped in Oahu for a day on the way back, and used Oahu Kosher for dinner/sandwiches for plane. Dinner was sesame chicken and meatballs- both really nicely done, if a bit sweet, and had a smoked turkey wrap as well. Prices decidedly reasonable. Only thing is I believe he's moving back to the mainland soon, after which you'll be stuck with Chabad of Oahu. Enjoy!

There are no dedicated kosher facilities there. I live in Atlanta and if I have to be there for any period of time, I bring my own. Hope your mom has a great trip, sorry for the layover. sharonfl Sun, 13 May 2012 16:26:41 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/848982#7336404 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/848499#7336358 Metro stops: Le XXV - Trocadero L'Inte Caffe - closest metro is St Augustine but we walked from the Champs Elysses Au Grand Mechant Louvre - Louvre Rivoli Osmose - Mirabeau Kavod - Franklin D Roosevelt (we walked from the Champs Elysses) Chataeubriand - Wasn't very close to the metro - we cabbed it.

Guys I were with know I love food and ordered me one of everything! then when I eyed the burger and sliced meat sandwich ( with fake bacon) at another table, They brought those over as well. Tongue - out of this world, so soft and delicious Ox hearts - ok Steak- amazing Burger and beef sandwich - amazing (wish thry would have baguette buns...) Lamb, veal etc - delicious meat pizza - ok They had this squash coconut soup that was phenomenal Desserts were so so, but loved the unique Cammomille ice cream Beers were amazing, nice wine selection, Prices were incredibly reasonable, Service was great (loved the head waiter) My only regret is I didnt ask to meet the owner.

Unfortunately, Veggie Patch products are not kosher. Osem products are Kosher but when they are packed in the United States they are not packed in a Kosher facility. We do hope to become kosher in the future. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any other questions. Thank you! Margie Lewis Marketing Assistant.

Bacon salt is nice because you can just sprinkle on a hint of smokiness without risking an overwhelming smoke flavor. It's a substitute for season salt or just to add a little extra something. Use it on mac & cheese, steamed or roasted vegetables. It has 1/3 the sodium of seasoned salt so you can add some flavor punch and saltiness without upping the sodium appreciably. Put it out on the table and see if your family likes it and let them find uses for it. ferret Mon, 07 May 2012 22:00:58 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/822102#7325471 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/848038#7325191 :) Miri1 Mon, 07 May 2012 19:51:06 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/848038#7325191 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/846951#7324532 Its not so sweet, the smokey-ness overpowers that, In ketchup it balances the tart / acidic taste.
