I've been hearing a lot about it.<br /><br />I went to the Crazy Cow website. Man, that place looks like a great time. Amazing cocktail menu as well. I'm always up for trying new food -- I admit to enjoying monkey in Panama but I hate getting hosed. A hundred bucks for some melted cheese, a $30 bottle of wine and stale bread is not the greatest value.<br /><br />Stew- I need to find a good goat or sheep cheese fondue. Thanks for the warning but I'll still try it... while staying close to the loo. <br /><br />KAA- I will try it. I've heard a lot about it recently. <br /><br />Sean- Ouch. I'm a fan of expired smoked meats as the GF'll tell you. <br /><br />E&E- I have to try the steak and oil again at home with a big cab or bordeaux. Perfect winter chow. Might even experiment with some alternative cheeses to cow.<br /><br />CG- It was with good intentions.<br /><br />LPC- Is it? I didn't know. But if that's where the girls are -- then that's where I want to be. <br /><br />DB- The wine was cheap and a decent value. Plus, the wine bar is down stairs, which, now that I think about it - is probably where we should've gone. We were in the up stairs restaurant. When are coming up so I can show you all this stuff? <br /><br />John- Now that place sounds like a good deal.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-80128492446702345532010-01-07T21:11:28.873-05:002010-01-07T21:11:28.873-05:00I will always miss La Fondue, an amazingly afforda...I will always miss La Fondue, an amazingly affordable lil dive in midtown.

And fondue always seems like hors d'oeuvres to me, deserving of such a place. Always nice to follow up with the melty chocolate/sherry fondue, though.<br /><br />I agree: a shame they couldn't at least get some repro Swiss posters, travel or otherwise. But businesses are afraid of "theme-ing" and most customers are just plain clueless when it comes to enhancing atmosphere.<br /><br />-DBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-15375871790314777752010-01-07T19:41:10.237-05:002010-01-07T19:41:10.237-05:00Silly Tintin, fondue is for girls...The Trix Rabbi...Silly Tintin, fondue is for girls...The Trix Rabbit told me so.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-10036837301650931752010-01-07T16:24:41.742-05:002010-01-07T16:24:41.742-05:00Hog post?

Years ago, because it always less than hundred for a full blown deal. If you're ever thinking of dazzling the GF, drive down the coast and turn back inland and try it out. Can't remember what it's called though.<br /><br />Yeah, that's a great tip...no name, no directions.

(And, I'm glad YOU did because now I'll know to stay away.) Since you're still on the Swiss theme, I wanted to chime in . . . there is a restaurant in Zurich called "Crazy Cow" and the menu is in Swiss-German, which is a novel thing to do. I snagged this menu while there and gave it to my German language teacher pal, who used it in her classes to show the nuances of the language. So, Swiss-German language lives, at least on your blog for now. (Sorry to hog post, but I'm usually late to the table, and this time I'm early. You know I'm a fan . . .)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024269410857986961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-57088623311612117092010-01-07T09:45:24.973-05:002010-01-07T09:45:24.973-05:00....I'll look it up as I'm coming to NYC i.......I'll look it up as I'm coming to NYC in the next few days......I'm a great fan of fondue and in fact participated in a massive fondue fest with my son in law's extended German family in LA on news year eve........you definitely need to something to cut all that dairy, we had a choice of a very dry champagne or a Chardonnay as you did.....thanks for the tipBrummagem Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998868549766033751noreply@blogger.com
