Comments on Re: Cafe Juanita and Maneki Win James Beard Awards

This will offend purists, but do you know who I think is the best James Beard?

Daniel Craig.

What the hell is a James Beard Award? I hear them talk about it on Top Chef all the time?

@2 -- www.google.com -- it's a new site, and takes some getting used to, but check it out.

OMG -- Lillet blanc sorbet? I'm touching myself right now, in a place I don't want to really talk about.

@3: Redmond?

Also, I'd usually not engage in the "check out Google" snarkings of @3, but seriously, @2 - the link is in the fucking post.

Am I the only one that thinks Cafe Juanita puts too much salt on their food?

Isn't the shaved head & goatee on a white guy kinda tired?

Is the insouciance and minimalism of Dick's ever going to be recognized by Mr. Beard? Yes, I know he's DYK, but nevertheless.

Bill Bavasi is sous chef at Cafe Juanita? No wonder the M's suck, he's too busy to run the team.

Shaved head + goatee = prison pussy.

Hope nobody had the Roma tomatoes today ...

@11 Well according to the list, as long as they were from Washington or Canada we're OK.

So, so long as we bought local we're ok?

Cool.

@13, Well I may be wrong about Washington because it isn't on the FDA's official list, but I was sure I read that somewhere. Here's the FDA link:

Cafe Juanita has been around since way before 2000.

+1! I love Cafe Juanita. It is about time Holly Smith wins the JBA.
