Top Chef All Stars
Zaytinya, Cafe Atlantico, and Minibar are reflections of Jose Andres not Mike Isabella. He certainly learned a lot from him, but they aren't -- and weren't -- Mike's restaurants. I should also note that in the time Mike left Zaytinya he cooked with Bryan Voltaggio and Jen Carroll to get ready...- medwards

Cleverley or G&G Bespoke
/thread I believe you have captured my experiences quite well above. Thank you, Wes Bourne. I am sure there are quite a few pictures of some of my Cleverley and Gaziano-made shoes elsewhere on this forum as well as others. They should give one a pretty good sense of the stylistic differences...- medwards

Weekend in Montreal
Toque' (my pick for the best restaurant in Montreal), Europea (one of my favorites, but have heard of some inconsistencies of late..when the service is on, it can be a very special place with lots of special extras) , L'Express (a lively bistro...you can pretend you're in Paris or relish the...- medwards

Your most expensive restaurant bill?
I sill recall what a sensation Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey's little jaunt to Chez Denis caused in 1975: Just a Quiet Dinner for Two in Paris: 31 Dishes, Nine Wines, a $4,000 Check; We explained to the proprietor that our purpose was to have the finest dinner in Europe and that money was...- medwards

Olive Oil
I had the opportunity to talk with Harold McGee about the use of oils in cooking whilst he was in Washington on Monday. It was rather timely inasmuch as that was to be the topic of his New York Times Curious Cook column the next day. The bottom line is that heat has a very marked impact on the...- medwards

Kitchen Knives
If you don't mind spending a little more, check out the Mac Ultimate line. The shape is a nice combination of German and Gyoto, and the quality is absolutely fantastic. Having spent a couple of days now working with this knife, I can see why you are partial to it.- medwards

Gaziano & Girling Deco Range 2010
It is indeed sensible... in the sense that one can have what appears to be an excellent recipe with exceptional ingredients but the ultimate result is the finished dish itself.- medwards

Kitchen Knives
I spent a wonderul hour slicing and dicing with Harold Arimoto, the president of MAC knives yesterday, and I must say I was very impressed by these knives. They are a bit different than most of the other knives discussed here in that they are stamped (yes, stamped) rather than forged. The bevil...- medwards

The medwards Option
Is the title of the thread because Medwards ONLY has DB suits? Well, I do have it on rather good authority that he does have some single breasted odd jackets. As for suits, there has been nothing but double breasteds in his wardrobe for over two decades. Of course, he would never be so...- medwards

The medwards Option
I have not been wearing much DB lately, for reasons of conservative business dress. Broke down and wore one today, by the MA&SEBT. Damn, I love that suit. Really nice and it shows how the A&S cut excels in DB. (Sleeve pitch is also correct.) Tempted to just say eff it and get some more of these in conservative business dress cloths with belt...- medwards

Cleverley
While one can certainly think of them as competitors now, I sincerely doubt that's how John Carnera views the relationship. Tony Gaziano developed greatly whilst he was at Cleverley and he certainly learned a great deal from John. I'm sure John was pleased that his former colleague is doing...- medwards
