• Ten Years In A Hole (In The Wall)

  Like most worthwhile "hidden gem" ethnic eateries we dream about, Thai Noodle and Rice is nondescript, a dive next to the Shop n' Go on North Fitzhugh near I-75. And fortunately, the shabby exterior seems to promise something good, worthwhile--very different than overfused and overpriced pan-Asian fare served everywhere these days.Recently four of us shared the fresh basil rolls, the Tom Yum Gai soup, the Panang Curry and the Pad Kee Mao spicy noodles to go, and... Well, I wondered if our reac

• Hash Over: Home for the Holidays, Cut-Rate Lobster, Etc.

  Who knows why everyone takes such delight in gingerbread houses? The fate that befell Hansel and Gretel--or nearly befell; we only know the story through Bugs Bunny--when they encountered such a structure was none too pleasant.But last night, the Rosewood Crescent Hotel put the final bit of icing on their holiday centerpiece, a ten foot tall gingerbread house designed by pastry chef Eric Perelli and constructed over 240 hours by his team of overtime-hungry assistants.

• Veggie Girl: Toy's Cafe

  A real hole in the wall.Sure, I love the high life. But I'm kind of a sucker for the hole-in-the-wall, too. In fact, it's really just the middling places--the Golden Corral's of the world--that bug me. It's the Groucho Marx effect.You know: "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."
