WTH??? Stella Artois rated a 15. I don't get it, but then again I don't drink beer.<BR/><BR/>Some of the hip restaurants here charge over $8.00 for a side of hot chips (steak fries).

I assume they are target marketed at all the trust-fund 20-somethings looking for a warm hug since things are so much different here than Ohio. And thus, a rich hipster and his $20 are soon parted.<BR/><BR/>It's funny that you name-check Stella Artois as a hoity-toity beer. In England it's nickname "wife beater" and as far as I can tell is the cultural equivalent of PBR in the US. But I guess their ad company spun it right when it came over here and it became classy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-56781476275227824542007-08-12T12:11:00.000-04:002007-08-12T12:11:00.000-04:00The only version we get of mac 'n' cheese in the U...The only version we get of mac 'n' cheese in the UK is pasta with cheese sauce - usually called something posh in Italian.<BR/><BR/>But pasta 'n' cheese is one of my fave meals when MB is away and I'm cooking for one :-)<BR/><BR/>Michele sent me to say hello, yellojkt.<BR/><BR/>cqcraziequeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098227916486173799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-4824057161103691112007-08-12T12:00:00.000-04:002007-08-12T12:00:00.000-04:00Not just gourmet, yello... they've got their own r...Not just gourmet, yello... they've got their own restaurants:<BR/><BR/>Daughter and I ate at <A HREF="http://smacnyc.com/" REL="nofollow">S'Mac</A> in the East Village in April.
