You need to suggest they setup a twitter for the truck, have them tweet each days location and times....When we went to NYC this past summer I really wanted to hit up all the good food trucks I could find so I added them to twitter and it made it SO much easier.

They are on twitter and Facebook, etc. Follow their twitter if you want location updates. Search for SavoryandSweet

Copper Cellar on the strip. Go downstairs for a better atmosphere. The Bistro at the Bijou is pretty good. Downtown Grill is normally a decent meal at a fair price. Sam and Andys on Broadway has a great burger and meat n three type specials.

Since I noticed this thread was revived recently it made me think of my dinner last night at Northshore Brassiere. First off, let me say I love the french bistro vibe of this awesome little restaurant, and the staff are always very welcoming.

Unfortunately I had a rather lack luster meal. The highlight was the Lyonnaise Frisee salad. The egg was poached beautifully and the smoked bacon vinagrette was the perfect amount of smoke/salt/sweet punch to counter the creamy egg.

My friend had a Steak Tartare that was no where near as good as Baker Peters Jazz Club used to make...it was dry, and the crostini bread could have broken a tooth.

He had a duck, and I had the Chicken. I was looking for that quintessential french warm country dish of the fall, and while the chicken was cooked beautifully the sauce and other components of the dish fell seriously flat.

My friend said his duck was just a jumbled mess, and was over cooked. I tried it, and nothing really married together with that dish, and everything just didn't fit.

Sad...Although I'd go back just for that Lyonnaise Frisee Salad. I hadn't ate at Northshore Brassiere in quite sometime so it was unfortunate I had such a lackluster meal, especially for the price point. :(

Holy hell, for real. Haha. When you have to use quintessential when describing a dish, you're doing it wrong. Go get some hot wings and drink heavily.

Went to Ye Olde last night for the first time in a few years. My last visit the steak was just OK but it was packed that night. Last night the place was pretty empty and the steak was excellent!
