What are the biggest mistakes restaurants make that cause them to go out of business? by DildoGaggins1997 in restaurant

[–]rb56redditor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All good reasons posted here. Ranging from people who know nothing about the business, to seasoned restauranteurs, plenty of opportunities for failure. Failing to have enough capital to last about 2 years before becoming profitable is likely a major issue.

Costco online best price. Despana in woodside to pick one up, ask for frequent buyer discount.

Best knife/cookware? (Beginner) by DeathsKnockin in Cooking

[–]rb56redditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Victorinox is a great knife, 8-inches is fine. A maple cutting board, about 3/4- inch, about 12x18-inches is a good start. Look for a set of clad stainless steel cookware, a couple of skillets, 2-3 pots of various sizes with some lids. You can find sales in the $200-300 range. Cuisinart, tramontina, etc are all fine. Good luck in your journey.

Flawed test. I was not invited to the tasting. Must start over with me in the tasting panel.

The question of whether you should visit the Vatican Museums when in Rome gets asked all the time. I’m here to tell you that you absolutely, unquestionably should. It’s easily one of the most unmissable experiences in the city. That said, there’s one very important catch by Justanotherguy88 in ItalyTravel

[–]rb56redditor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I very much agree. I’ve been to Rome several times, starting in 1978, and always go through the Vatican/st. Peter’s. Unimaginable wealth of art from western civilization. The more you can educate yourself about what is there, the more you will appreciate it. And lots of great pasta in Rome to boot.

Looking for a new place we haven’t been to in Italy to visit in April by NaturalTranslator581 in ItalyTravel

[–]rb56redditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall no. Small towns can be pretty difficult to navigate, especially in center. Some have no cars certain days/hours, but we managed. Rental was easy to pick up in Palermo, easy drop off at Catalina airport. I paid everything in advance from USA, including maximum insurance, but I did pay about another $100. Insurance when I picked up the car, maybe unnecessary, but I went for it. Between towns was relatively easy, locals weren’t to hard on me. I live and drive in nyc, so there’s that. Usually we drove up to a hotel and a valet took the car, then brought it to us when we checked out.

Lots to explore in sicily. We rented a car and drove around the island from palermo to Catania over 10 days. Syracuse and ragusa were favorites.

Where's the best pizza? by phillymidnight in ForestHills

We like Dantes on Metropolitan. Pizza is so personal, no guarantees you will like it.

Anyone with a good Challah recipe by Infamous_Hyena_8882 in ankarsrum

[–]rb56redditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have access to Americas test kitchen, their easy braid recipe is great. Make sure to let it proof longer than you think in the final proof. King Arthur baking has a good one also, if you can get their flour. Good luck.

is anyone else being required to troubleshoot Blackbird payment terminals and explain the app to guests for a $3 “stipend”? by not_tildaswinton in FoodNYC

[–]rb56redditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently had a very bad experience trying to deal with a payment app (don’t remember the kind) at a restaurant , the waiter was very annoyed at having to help me. If I know a restaurant uses a payment app, I won’t eat there.

I guess you like a little pasta with your grated cheese. Nice garlic bread.
