Tipping Is Not A Place In China
Nick & Sam's Grill is hot. But since 2003, that same location has housed Martini Ranch, Stolik, Standard and Strong's Everyday Tavern. Or look at Lazare, opening in the Ferre/Pescabar spot. Or Five-Sixty...There are plenty of examples. But is the location or the concept at fault? And what overcomes the...
Former Dallas County judge and prosecutor Catherine Crier left her hometown long, long ago -- exactly 20 years ago, matter of fact, when she swapped the bench for the bright lights of CNN, then ABC, then Fox News Channel, then Court TV and a series of books. Says her bio...

I can only gather and repeat admonitions based upon my own experiences at a particular restaurant. For that reason, I will never return to Lemongrass unless work demands a revisit. This statement should not, however, be read as a condemnation of the place. It's just clear from a few meals...
