A.T.K. is the funniest show. The host is kind of a nerdy type, but the one that
gets me going is the guy that tests the kitchen tools, kind of a mouth-breather
chubby cat, who's dad is very likely the show's producer. :D

Wok With Yan was my favorite as a kid.

He seems to know what he's doing. We've picked up a few utensils based on his recommendations.

I think the woman and I are going Ming Tsai's "Blue Ginger" tonight. It's 10 miles from my house. She may have a different idea on where she wants to go. We've been wanting to go there for a while. She is on school vacation next week, so perhaps lunch instead then?

Get the Lemongrass Lobster or the vinegar shrimp for appetizers. He has a great wine list as well.

Same here. I like then both though, way better than just about anything on FoodNetwork.

Oh yeah, I watched the entire last season of ATK a year or so ago, til the re-run cycle came around.
I am fascinated by the whole concept of the show. I think they also went out of their way to have a kind of
'everyman' staff of talent, as opposed to a show full of Giadas or Erin Andersons.

One of the things I like on ATK is how they show where the different cuts of meat come from, and talk about the pros and cons of each for the demo recipe.

Ah man... Ended up going to Changsho Restaurant in Cambridge. It's an excellent Chinese/American place that has a parking lot! Go figure for Cambridge. Awesome Scorpian Bowls... :banger

Hahah, I love the roll around cow with the diagrams painted on it. Wish I HAD it to tell you the truth.
