I was at the winery yesterday and tasted La Fantasia and fell in love! It's fabulous! I bought a bottle, but am hoping to find a comparable wine cheaper and more accessible than ordering a case online or going back up to the Castello di Amorosa. I also love the Lambrusco from Trader Joes! I prefer the red one, but for $5, who is picky?

]]> Comment on Spaghetti Squash by Joanne http://iheartyum.com/main-course/spaghetti-squash/comment-page-1/#comment-99 Joanne Sun, 18 Jul 2010 02:07:18 +0000 http://iheartyum.ileik.com/?p=5#comment-99 Spaghetti squash is awesome! In my kitchen, I think it will replace spaghetti. I've baked it in the microwave with salt, pepper, and butter. After cleaning seeds from each half, I've stuffed it with onion, bell pepper, chopped link sausage, and mushrooms. Seems like no matter what I do to it, it's still wonderful.

AND IT WAS DELICIOUS YET AGAIN. He swapped in ground turkey for the ground chicken, which made for a more tender meatball. What a champion!

]]> Comment on Columbia Restaurant’s 1905 Salad by Richard Gonzmart http://iheartyum.com/uncategorized/columbia-restaurants-1905-salad/comment-page-1/#comment-87 Richard Gonzmart Fri, 12 Feb 2010 01:07:25 +0000 http://iheartyum.com/?p=354#comment-87 I am happy to hear you like our trademarked protected "Original 1905 Salad" When making the dressing, place the Exra Virgin Spanish Olive Oil, vinegar, oregano, fresh minced garlic,don't be afraid to use more, in a non corrosive container mixing until blended well. Let rest to together for at least 24 hours prior to serving the salad. Ad the fresh squeezed lemon juice and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce to the salad ingredients at the time of mixing then serve. I am sorry you feel we are a tourist restaurant but the fact the original in Tampa is Florida's oldest restaurant celebrating our 106th year in the same location with over 78% of the our diners being from Tampa Bay says different. The restaurant in Sarasota is that cities oldest establishment, celebrating our 51st year in the same location. As for the pricing, that is relative, sure it is not priced like TGI Friday's but it does compete with Carrabas for value but with tableside preparation and service of many entrees. I personally have created many of the dishes and check all of the recipes to be sure they are up to the standards of my great grandfather, grandparents and parents. It is my life, my passion to be the best. Our recent National recognitions and awards speak to the respect the Columbia has in our industry, a industry where 8 out of ten restaurants will close the first year. We have now 6 Columbia's in Florida. We were asked last year to please create a Columbia Cafe to represent the culture & cuisine of Tampa to be served in the new Tampa Bay History Center. Give us another try and if you don't like it, let me know. Here's to life!
