Re: Anyone want a papaya tree?

I'm curious how big of a pot one would need to grow these such that they would actually produce.

Unfortunately, I only have patio space, and have to grow all my plants in pots.

Re: Will he or won't he?

ESPN reported that Kobyashi rushed the stage after the contest and held on to barricades as they tried to remove him. He was subsequently arrested and charged with resisting arrest and few other things.

Re: Cuvee

Interesting that the Dean has an article re Cuvee in his newsletter today. Pretty much slammed it. (Yes, I read him every now and then for comic relief).... I went and read that after you posted about it since I claimed one of the recent good experiences. Crawfish pie in a pea puree? Really? I hate...

Re: Mondo

Anyone been here yet? I live three blocks from it, but it's been so crowded I haven't gone yet. I'm thrilled to have Susan Spicer running a restaurant in my neighborhood. The TP's food critic mentions it and three other new places. There is some not-so-subtle criticism of Tom in the comments under ...

Re: Fatzo now advertising for Chad's Bistro

I went into Chad's Bistro once right at noon. There was no one in the place. No staff, no customers, no one in the bar - nothing. We waited around for literally 2 or 3 full minutes, and no one came out. We turned around and walked out and have never gone back.
