I'd be interested, also, now that KFOG has dropped it (leaving no S.F. Bay
Area station with it).  MY question is: how would a radio station, if
sufficiently interested, contact the syndicator to get pricing info (?)
and other details on how to carry the show?  I'd assume that this would be the
first thing a program director would ask for, and it would be helpful to have

IMHO, one of the nicest Sunday brunches to be had in San Francisco is at
Green's at Fort Mason.  The food is outstanding, the service is friendly 
and efficient, and the view of the Golden Gate can't be beat (if it is
clear :-) ).  The brunch is sit-down, with a menu that changes every
week.  They serve everything from the fairly conventional (pancakes, etc.
*Very Good* pancakes, mind you) to the fairly adventurous (a Southeast
Asian-inspired omelette with tomatoes, corn, basil, chiles, and lemon grass.
Yum!).  Prices are in the $6-$10 for brunch; expect to pay that plus 
OJ, coffee, champagne, dessert, whatever...

A couple caveats:  reservations are a must, and they are a vegetarian
restaurant, so if your father absolutely, positively must have meat with
breakfast, you'll have to go elsewhere.

If you don't know your way around SF and you have guests that want

enjoy it thought I'm a native. (wear a camera so I'll look touristy)
 As for where to eat... if it's meat and potatoes I haven't a clue.
 If you want ethnic... I can help.  For a real San Francisco unique
place, do have lunch at Tommy's Joynt on Van Ness and Grant.  It's
been there since the 1908 earthquake and looks it.  They have huge
slabs of roast beef or turkey or even buffalo stew.  It's
inexpensive and fun.

I would rate Swagat as a fraction (~.25?) below Empress of India, making
it the second-best Indian restaurant in the South Bay.  In some sense it
isn't all that useful to compare E. of I. to other places, since it is *so*
different.  I can understand how some people just wouldn't enjoy it, despite
the fact that the food is superior.  As for places like Mumtaj (which is

A group of us tried E of I (again) last week for lunch.  Three adults 
with three kids, ages 3, 5, and 6.  Once again we were disappointed,
overall.

The vegetables were very good.  The nan was fresh and hot.  There was 
a chicken curry dish on the buffet.  Tandoori chicken was brought out 
from the kitchen.  We would have preferred something different than 
chicken with chicken, but it was good.  As others entered the
restaurant, the owner came out to announce to them "We do not accept
coupons or entertainment books.  And you must clean your plates."
Now, the first is certainly reasonable for a buffet lunch, where there
is little profit margin.  But the way it was said was a little
uncomfortable.  It reminded me of something I had read here in this
newsgroup some time ago - someone said something about when there are 
specials she raises the prices on them so that whatever coupon you use, 
there isn't any savings.  There was a markerboard that appeared to
have the previous night's menu specials on it, and it also had the
words "No coupons or entertainment books".  So maybe they're out
all together.  

The second part of her statement did not appear to be said in jest, 
and is certainly one of the common sense rules of buffets.  But I have 
never seen anyone pile their plate with food and just *leave* it there 
at an Indian restaurant buffet.  Again, it was said in a kind of
uncomfortable way.  And it seems that these admonitions all have 
something to do with cost.  Certainly *all* restauranteurs are concerned 
with cost, especially these days, but she appears to have some sort of 
"paranoia" about it.

The three kids, by the way, finished off five bananas between them,
and not much else.  Us parents, knowing what to expect from the kids,
put *very little* food on their plates from the buffet - basically
some rice and a spoonful of chicken curry.  Plus they ate the nan.  
When the bill came, it had the full $7 charge for each kid, same as 
an adult.  We didn't say a thing, but we won't be back again.

A poster, while describing E of I recently, mentioned the samosas that
are served with the buffet lunch.  That day there were no samosas, or
appetizers of any sort.  Is this another cost cutting measure?

Webster defines value as relative worth.  Our party of six did not
receive value that day.  (Nor apparently did other diners, who did not
receive samosas that day either.)  And relative to other buffets served 
at other Indian restaurants - many with lower prices - it may be that
E of I is not a good value.

I used to eat at a restaurant called "Shaan" located at McKee and Capitol Ave
in East San Jose. Good food and courteous. Unfortunately they closed it.

a recommendation on a place to stay that is preferrably between the

This will be on Tuesday so hopefully I can still get a reservation this

Any recommendations would be welcome, and I promise to write a review

Perhaps this was a reference to my posting.  I say this because I don't

I tried the Korea Garden yesterday, and I agree.  The food on their buffet
was a bit on the cold side.  There wasn't anyone else there at 11:45 AM --
a bad sign.  The sushi was not nearly as good as the Korea House.  I'll go 
back to the Korea House -- it is much better.

An Asian co-worker loves Genghis Khan, 3505 Clayton Road, in Concord.
She knows and likes good food, her college age kids demand to be taken
there over other choices when they are home, she says, and she takes
relatives from out of town there.  It's near the top of our list to
try.  Maybe this weekend.  If you go first, post a review.

We live, apparently, in the same general area as Reza.  This weekend
we were heading south on 880 around noontime.  We stopped at Korea
House in Santa Clara, mentioned here frequently.  It was fantastic.
Went to the top our our "current favorite restaurant" list.  *Lots* of
selection, good food, fair prices.  The buffet is served only at noon
at Korea House.  $6 weekdays, $7 weekends.  Under 5 *free*, 6-? $1 off.
(Take that, Empress of India defenders!).  Numerous posters previously
recommended this place.  Our family agrees.  So Reza, it make be too
far for just going to this restaurant for lunch, but if you're in the
area it's a great choice.

????  I've never heard of this custom of choosing a "default
restaurant", but then again, my family can never agree on the same
restaurant twice running.....and, too, we almost never go to restaurants
on the holidays that others do.

OK, ba.mall-rats, here's something all of you may be able with:

I was recently in a mall (in Billings, MT, of all places) and ran
across a "Yogurt Wave" stand with the usual selection of soft-serve
and toppings, and the (becoming more common) smallish menu of
Espresso and coffee concoctions. So far, no big deal.

BUT! They *also* had a Latte' Ice machine - a rich espresso latte'
frozen to a slush/Slurpy state in a counter-top freezer/stirrer/server.
In two days, I became seriously addicted to these! Now, back home
in the Bay Area, I can't find anything like it... :{(

If anyone out there has run into this, I would really appreciate
hearing about it! 

Thanks!
