>> Table magazine?
I know the designer, so I try to pick it up whenever possible. Also, I love
the columns on food history by Dr. Neidinger and his wife. I used to attend
archaeology lectures he gave years ago at St. Martin's before he went off to
UT Austin. The lecture I remember most vividly involved a description of the
ancient Roman version of Worcestershire sauce.
I'm also not surprised that they broke the Zagat news, since the
publications have the same editor. Teresa Byrne-Dodge also wrote the Bon
Appetite article last month about Houston.

Not at all impressed with it yet. Mr. Anon can go; to that great
mixer in the sky. I'm tired of all the jokes in the stories,
especially Neidinger's writng which can always offend some religious
group. (Do they publish his stuff because he came up with funding
when they needed it??)
It seems too light-hearted to take seriously, to me.
The Restaurant news of openings and closings can usually be gotten on
a more timely manner through the Chronicle.
Do we need a 2 page spead on old matchbooks?
Sigh.

My wife subscribes. I find it readable, but if Teresa has ever
said anything negative about a restaurant, I must of missed it.
Too light, too cute, and really just too too.

Possibly, that's the reason that "Mr. Anon" exists. A publication like My
Table must get along with restaurateurs to sell advertising. Theresa must
be perceived as a friend of all restaurateurs in order to sell advertising.
Maybe Mr. Anon is her way of saying the negative things without saying the
negative things.

And this from a publication that you have to pay for to read! How do they
survive if nobody likes them?

Tastings" where for no charge you can mingle with a vendor and sample
expensive liquors. But space is limited and you must respond to the
ad as soon as you see it.
Who was it here that went to that and had a great time? Was that you

Yes. I attended a tasting of cognacs and armagnacs (and calvados) hosted by
My Table. I also had trouble pronouncing the word "calvados", and when I
mentioned that in this n.g., I was pounced upon by a trolette who felt that
I should be banned from Houstons normally safe streets, due to my inability
to pronounce all words properly.

Among the armagnacs tasted was an 80 year old one. Pretty wonderful.

Only if you're light in the loafers. I hear it is a *must read* in the Montrose.

Really? You must be *very* plugged into the "light in the loafers"
scene.
Gotta love homophobes that are so very fascinated with gays that
they're thinking about them this much.

My wife and I both read My Table.... as do several of the people in my
company. To my knowledge, none of us is gay. However, there are several
gay posters in this n.g., both male and female (and I don't have any idea
whether, or not, they read My Table), and all are interesting (and well
liked) members of this foodie community. I'm not too sure that your
statement about the loafers is true.... certainly, it's not appropriate.

*I* like My Table. I keep subscribing to it. I enjoy the read. It's
worth the money and the time. It's moved me to try some restaurants I
wouldn't have gotten to otherwise.
Yeah, it's a bit lightweight. It's not as heavy a read as, say, my
Scientific American, Foreign Affairs or The New Republic
subscriptions. But, hey, houston.eats isn't either. :-)
I like the feature where they choose one dish and try it out at 8
different restaurants, and compare and rate them.

about avocados??? I'm sorry if I didn't understand you right. I had been to
a Pearl and Miller tasting and can't remember much about that call. I think
I rode a cow home that night. Don't remember any streets at all.

BTW I think Trolette has two "l"s .

Hopefully, you weren't attempting to use a cell phone while riding that cow
in your condition. Were you drinking cowvados, also? According to Jeremy,
you're right about the trollette "two l's" thing.
