It is supposed to be a very hot day, so I am going to run down to Toyland, pick up a few things and be home and into the A/C as quickly as possible.

Post by: John G. on August 27, 2014, 06:01:00 AM: I'm not a fan of Zagat (Although I like Tim and Nina Zagat) or Yelp or any of the online reviews because I don't know who these people are or what their tastes are like. So I don't know what they're basing their writing on.
Title: Re: THE ZAGAT RATING AND THE FRIED EGG
Post by: singdaw on August 27, 2014, 06:32:50 AM: I thought Zagat's was based on customer ratings. You still have the same problem - you don't know the reviewer's biases - but I don't think the ratings are written by the Zagats themselves.

Title: Re: THE ZAGAT RATING AND THE FRIED EGG
Post by: ChasSmith on August 27, 2014, 09:34:15 AM: The only egg-on-hamburger I've ever had was the Mighty Brunchburger (am I remembering that name correctly?) at the Hamburger Hamlet, and I probably only had a few of them even then, in the '70s.

It's a messy affair, unless you cook the egg enough that it runneth not over everything as soon as you lift the burger to your face and take the first bite. And if you cook it that much, you're kind of defeating the purpose, because it's the egg white AND soft yolk combining with a good quality ground beef that result in an incredible burst of flavor. So ... yes, I liked it, but it was such a pain in the ass to eat that I only had it again a couple of times.

I just realized that I'd get some of that flavor enjoyment in later years by occasionally ordering a hamburger patty, instead of bacon or sausage, with my eggs at L.A. coffee shops. Actually, I probably had it at the Hamlet in those early days. That's a combination I mostly remember from California. You could probably get the eggs "with patty" at a typical northeastern diner, or maybe even a Denny's, but I don't think I've seen it on any menus. But that way, you're eating it on a plate, with a fork, without the bun and other burger toppings that help to explode the damned thing.

And I don't think anyone ever agreed with me on this, but the Merman "tag" always seemed like one thing too many. Though now that I think about it, maybe it was the editing or timing that I thought was just the slightest bit off, and would have played fine with some extra breathing room. Or something. Well, we'll see what I think upon savoring the Criterion. I'm sure all will be fine. A great, great, GREAT film.

Post by: John G. on August 27, 2014, 10:26:37 AM: Saw All That Jazz back in high school. May have been the first R- rated movie I snuck into (or was it Bergman's Face to Face). I didn't see it again until a year or two ago and found it as vivid as if I had just seen it. Foldi is exceptional, Scheider never better and Lange appropriately creepy. Looking forward to the Criterion version.

She is all set to proceed on both while I'm away - just hope I can find Wi-Fi when I need it to proof the PDFs she'll send.

Then I went shopping for some trip this 'n' that and finally came home for lunch and to cool off - it was 88o and very muggy :P

Post by: Jane on August 27, 2014, 02:32:14 PM: Keith worked at Cassell’s. Alvin Cassell didn't have any children. It is difficult to imagine the quality continuing after Cassell sold the business. Everything about Cassell's was unique, even the bread was specially made for him. He made his own mayo.

I know Cassell's was famous for having the best hamburgers but, by far, he baked the best ham I have ever eaten.

In those days of little money leftovers from Cassell's went far. Even after Keith changed jobs we got ham & potato salad from our friend Ricky who had gotten Keith the job there. Until we moved here I still had a few of the large containers the potato salad came in.

That one guy on that Facebook group is a total idiot. His little "who remembers this" or his attempts at those stupid meaningless threads are just so irritating that I can't help myself.

I don't care for them either. My friend Marlene also puts up silly stuff that do make me laugh. The stuff she remembers I never think about. You did make your first comment with a smiley face so he shouldn't have gotten upset.

People are just trying to keep up a conversation so I don't bother about it. There are only so many times, or not, we can talk about the Helm's Truck :)

I've notice I can tell by their memories if the person is much younger than I am.

Here's a local arts story that broke this morning. It may be of interest to DRs Elmore, ChasSmith, Charles Pogue, John G, and anyone else interested in the Cincinnati arts scene:

Corbett Foundation to Close Its Doors (http://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/arts/2014/08/26/corbett-foundation-cincinnati-symphony-music-hall-cincnnati-ballet-cincinnati-opera-nku/14639473/)

Thank you for the heads up on that, DR Ginny.

A HUGE name around the Cincinnati area. Incredible.
