So was it the 'protest' and complaints that got Bob back on KOME?

I didn't hear all that much in the media about it.. though I did see a
sign posted to a pole near the Century Theatres (San Jose ones) that
said something to the effect of "I can't KOME without Bob Lilley", 
put inside a diamond logo.. it was ripped in half vertically though.

"Don't touch that dial, there's KOME on it".. can't believe they used
to use that eons ago..

While we are on the Veggie tip...

I just got back from Asia and one of my stops was to the
Po Lin monastary (buddhist) on Lantau island.  They have the 
largest bronze buddha in the world.

Anyways, I was treated to an exquisite vegeterian meal prepared
by the monks.  This meal had the vegtables made up like meat
dishes.  There was a dish that looked like roast chicken.  It
even had a dark brown crunchy skin.

Question: is there a place in the bay area (cheap or otherwise) that
prepares dishes like this?  The meal I had was "heavenly."  I ws
told that the meal was a special. (the meat like look)  Nonetheless,
these dishes didn't taste like your standard dishes without meat.

Annie is right, Vito's is the real thing.  I always cried about the pizza
around here - especially the fact that when you go into a pizza joint in
California for the first time you never know what to expect.  Back in NYC
the same great style of pizza was available everywhere.  The first thing
we usually eat when we go back to visit is some great pizza.

Anyway, Vito's is the real thing, as I said.  Try it, you'll like it.

I was recently referred to a super German shop on San Antonio Road,
across from Sears in Mt. View, I believe is called the "Wurst Haus".
 They had some wonderful German/Scandanavian products.  They do
their own meat and sausage smoking, and it really is something
wonderful!  At Christmastime every year my mother and I make Swedish
Potato Sausage.  The Wurst Shop's similar product was really very
very good.  I highly recommend you paying them a visit.

Just looked up the name "Dittmer's Gourmet Meats & Wurst-Haus" at
400 San Antonio Road.

I was lead to try Alta Dena products several months ago by a
co-worker.  It was found at my local Raley's.  Their sour cream is
possibly the best I've ever found.  Really rich and creamy.
Following surgery, and bouts of antibiotics, and associated
resulting yeast infections, I bought their yogurt, and found it to
be excellent.  On your recommendation, I'll make it a point to try
the butter.  Thanks for the tip.

Taquerias or any Mexican fast food places, particularly good ones, are kind 
of rare in that part of the woods.   

There's one of those grilled-chicken places, Cafe Salsa, at Prospect and
Saratoga-Sunnyvale.  Haven't tried it.

An easier commute than to La Bamba takes you to Una Mas on E. El Camino Real 
in Mt. View. Go north on 85, hang a right onto El. Camino, and once past the
Emporium start looking on the right.  It's in an old Taco Bell building
next to an Ethan Allen furniture store.  Haven't tried the burritos but
the carnitas tacos were great.  2 corn tortillas, heavy on the salsa and
carnitas, light on the beans, if there were any at all.  A very popular
2 restaurant chain with plans to add 5 more soon.

Hi you all out there !

I am lucky ! My boss sent me to SF for one week
to Sunnyvale. Does anybody out there have a list of
restaurants that are a must to go to ?

Thanks a lot,

Ludwig.

This stymied me at first, then I realized Sharen and Debbie are talking
about the London House.

I've been there.  Prices are high for the tea experience you get,
perhaps reflecting its downtown Palo Alto location.  The interior is
rustic and a bit crude, rather than the refined elegance (antique
furniture, tablecloths, cloth napkins, good silverware or real silver)
that one comes to associate with the afternoon tea ritual done right.
Service is not of the attentive "May I bring you more hot water for
your tea?" variety, which also detracts somewhat. 

In all fairness, I haven't been to London House in about eight months,
so if things have changed, please let me know and I'll give them another
try.

Try Thai House on Channing Way just above Telegraph Ave.
as well as Cha-Am on Shattuck north of Cedar.

Both are better than Plearn in my opinion.

You might have a little trouble avoiding peanuts and coconut curries
while eating thai food, but i can be done.

I really don't know about the fat content of tahi food, it seems to
rely on a seafood/veagtable base, with noodles of course, so I would
guess it's a good choice to help reduce fat intake.

Thai cuisine is one of my favorites, so I may be somewhat biased! :-)

Just look for McDonalds: They're adjacent in the plaza.

One point from my last visit:

The food was not at all spicy. Is 'Nepalese' food bland compared to Indian? Or
did they leave out 90% of the spices because my wife and I are American? I was
expecting something close to Indian in 'kick'....

1) I ain't no gringo fratboy, and I have never been disappointed at Chevy's.
Not that they always serve anything remotely Mexican -- the other night
I had a mesquite grilled trout smothered in fragrant mushrooms that was
downright incredible.

2) Since you are Mr. Death to Chevy's, perhaps you can tell us where you
like to go for Mexican food and why. And don't forget that not all of 
us are vegetarians.

3) One of the things I like about Chevy's is that, in general, the quality
is about the same from one location to another. So I don't have to sit here
and bemoan the fact that you know some super place in Berkeley and I'm
miles away, I can go to Chevy's whereever I am and be pretty sure that I'm
going to get quality. Not necessarily the same dishes and specials, but
the level of quality I've come to expect from them.
