Mon Dec 06 10:34:06 -0800 2004 0 Sam I Am 1 549482 He was checking out Oysters in the city... He was at Rodneys & Starfish... I think it was filmed for his show... Mon Dec 06 13:32:53 -0800 2004 549468 0 Rob 2 549484 I just assumed he meant Char Siu since it's so close to the Chapters... And yes, he was great (and adorable...), exact same demeanour as what you see on TV or read in his books... didn't spend much time grandstanding but more or less went right into Q & A. I told him that he should go to Scandinavia since they almost drink as much as Russians, and he mentioned that he was going to go to Iceland next year. Mon Dec 06 13:56:39 -0800 2004 549482 0 garp7 3 549514 I was quite taken with him. What you see is what you get. He's pretty straightforward about what he believes in and he shows a respect for the "little" or ordinary chef--usually women who cook home style meals in faraway places. I would like to know how many seasons Cook's Tour has wrapped up as of today. Does anyone know?

Tue Dec 07 09:16:55 -0800 2004 549514 0 crip 5 549614 What is VOX like I have driven by many times but have never been there or have known anyone that has gone there... Thu Dec 09 12:16:07 -0800 2004 549535 0 Jim 6 549734 VOX is a great space with good grub as well. What's really cool is the photos on the wall from all through the earlt rock days.(Bowie, Zeppelin, all the greats) Sun Dec 12 02:42:56 -0800 2004 549614 0 thumbtack 7 549778 It is definately worth checking out...great grub, though no longer with the photos on the walls.

Mon Dec 06 15:42:20 -0800 2004 549482 0 Sam I Am 2 549527 I talked to grill bitch and she did tell me they were going on an oyster tour that night. Best moment of the day was hearing him answer that jamie oliver question....to paraphrase, "if I was in prison, I would want him as a cell mate. That way, I would never have to worry about running out of cigarettes." hahahhaha, he's so the man Tue Dec 07 03:30:16 -0800 2004 549482 0 aser
