wednesday papers 6/22
Wednesday already? sheesh.
NYT: Hee hee, there's a writer named 'Marian Burros' this week. that's funny to me. Burros. Ha!
Anyway, a restaurateur with the slightly less comical name Chodorow has opened his 24th restaurant. That's a lot, even for NYC. Asimov analyzes wine feelings. Mini-malist makes korean salad. South African food is best in the bush. Gross candy is best. Something about smithsonian food folk. And Bobby flay makes food to match the decor. I didn't know he was gay.
SF Chronicle: Speaking of gay, let's move to the SF Chronicle now. Sorry, that was a cheapshot.
So the headline is about taking kids out for food. At first I was going to make a snide comment but after half a thought, I realize its actually important for kids to have exposure to good food and dining out etiquitte so they don't grow up to the be type who orders the chicken and asks for water with a lemon wedge at a restaurant.
Below the fold we have recipes for puddin', cold cucumber shrimp soup, pickles and rauch. Wait, what? I just read the rauch article. It's a great piece of barfly writing. Go read it: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/06/16/WIGFFD8LTB1.DTL#rauch
Moving along to the wine section, Pinot grigio is the focus of the lead. Chilean Cabs is the featured tasting. A lamb shoulder accompanies the cab and french bleu is the cheese course.
Sac Bee: The guest paper for the day doesn't get too far from SF, its the Sacramento Bee! Bzz.
The focus this week is on olive oils. Apparently the region is producing more quality oils as of late so its a good time to reasses this staple of the kitchen. Articles discuss what makes it virgin, local labels, other oils and the best of the best. Elsewhere, nice, ripe melons...
On wine, Dunne, as he/she is known, remarks on the bogusness of labels in their portrayal of the region.
It's not a very big section but good for the size of the paper it serves. The articles, or at least the headlines and ledes, are original. I give it my highest praise: I will make a point to try and return to actually read the articles later.

I like chicken; I like water; I like lemon wedges.
It might be more appropriate to add that it should be possible for a kid to make it out to a meal without ordering the kidsmeal or asking if the filet mignon can be supersized.

I think we're on the same page here.
If you grew up eating whatever packaged good was in the cupboard, or what was on the kids menu, when you grow up you'll be less likely to order the best dishes on the menu.
Every restaurant has a safe menu item for the timid eater. It's usually chicken. Hence, it's usually best to avoid the chicken at restaurants.
