    Cafe Castagna Caesar

    I have traveled far from my roots, but have never forgotten the lessons I learned about what makes a good burger back when I was a child.

The previous times I have been there the restaurant had just opened. Those … [Read more...] about Clarklewis – 4.2.05

    Note: This restaurant closed in December 2010. Note: this is the first review I ever wrote. Hopefully the format and content has improved since then, but the basic review still stands!Against my better judgment, I broke a 19 hour sleeping marathon to join friends for dinner at Le Cordon Bleu Western Culinary Institute 'Gourmet' student restaurant. I would have been better … [Read more...] about Review Restaurant Bleu
