Don't Ask For A Dinner Roll At This Restaurant Unless You Have Good Hand-Eye Coordination

2 days ago | yahoo.com | Tim Forster

If you like restaurants that do things a little differently, you may want to visit a Missouri eatery that is notorious for throwing food at customers. Specifically, the servers are known for tossing large dinner rolls to diners. (Fortunately, other menu items like chicken-fried steak, ribs, and pulled pork sandwiches remain safely grounded and on plates.)The restaurant in question is Lambert's Cafe, which first opened in the eastern Missouri town of Sikeston in 1942.
Change Up How You Eat Cottage Cheese With Polish Gzik

4 days ago | yahoo.com | Tim Forster

Thanks to its neutral taste, cottage cheese is a versatile ingredient that can be used in plenty of dishes, from simple toast or pancakes at breakfast through to a high-protein chocolate mousse. In many of these dishes, other flavors like chocolate or berries take precedence, but one Polish recipe allows the creamy, tangy taste of cottage cheese to shine through on its own. That dish is called gzik, and it could be roughly described as a cottage cheese dip.
Why Restaurant Leftovers Have No Place In A French Refrigerator

If you're visiting France and staying with a local, don't expect to see much in the way of restaurant takeout containers filled with leftovers in their fridge. And if you head to a restaurant, you may also get some odd looks if you ask for a doggy bag for your beef bourguignon or coq au vin. Traditionally speaking, French restaurants have been resistant to doggy bags and have even outright refused them.
The Overlooked Role Water Minerality Plays In Your Coffee's Flavor

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Tim Forster

If you're unhappy with the taste of your home-brewed coffee, you'll probably look for a new bean supplier. However, there could be another culprit: your water and specifically, how many minerals are in it. If you've ever heard the terms "hard water" or "soft water," this is what we're talking about. Hard water has lots of minerals dissolved in it (typically calcium and magnesium), while soft water has relatively few. Hard water tends to be the bigger problem when you're brewing coffee.
Our Favorite West Coast Grocery Store Chain Isn't The Trendy Erewhon

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Tim Forster

There's no shortage of grocery stores that are unique to the West Coast, from local-produce-focused Zupan's Markets in Portland to Gelson's, the So-Cal chain known for its top-notch deli. But when Chowhound ranked 12 of them, we found that one rises to the top — and perhaps surprisingly, it's not the TikTok-famous Erewhon (pictured above), although it did come in second place. No, the best West Coast supermarket is California's Bristol Farms.
One Of The World's Oldest Soups Included A Meat You Won't Be Able To Buy Today

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. If you could time travel to 8,000 years ago and order a bowl of soup, chances are you'd get something very different from a creamy tomato soup or roasted butternut squash soup, as you might nowadays. Instead, one soup you might end up with would be made with hippopotamus meat.
This 'Bad' Beef Cut Has An Unfair Reputation - But It's A Delicious Bargain

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Tim Forster

If you're in the market for an affordable cut of beef that can still offer up flavor, some common tips tend to be chuck or skirt steaks. However, there's one less common cut that might just outdo them: beef eye of round. This cut comes from the center of a cow's round section at its rump, differentiating it from the top round (which is fairly tender) and the bottom round (a larger cut used for roasts).

2 weeks ago | yahoo.com | Tim Forster

One of the highlights of all-American family restaurant Bob Evans' extensive menu of classics (which include everything from omelets to hearty sandwiches) would have to be the chain's banana nut bread. Baked daily in its restaurants, it's been praised for being delectably moist. So, what's the secret? Bob Evans did publish a recipe for a cinnamon swirl variation of its banana bread that doesn't give much away, following standard tips about choosing ripe bananas and not using too much flour.
What Is The Best Affordable Steak At Texas Roadhouse?

2 weeks ago | yahoo.com | Tim Forster

Steak isn't generally the cheapest restaurant meal, so if you're headed to steakhouse chain Texas Roadhouse, you might be hoping to save a few bucks by ordering one of its cheaper steaks. Of course, there's probably a link between the price tag and quality. Indeed, when Chowhound ranked Texas Roadhouse's steaks, the number one place went to the most expensive one on the menu (the porterhouse T-bone).
