Hi, I am wondering what your prices are for a dinner party for 10-15 guests. It would be in the Dallas Area.

Thanks. Mike L.

Olive Garden

• Restaurant: Olive Garden
• Location: Next to every mall.
• Atmosphere: It’s the olive garden.
• Bathroom: clean.
• Date of visit: 2007

The venerable Olive Garden (AKA “OG”), often dismissed as a punch line, I stand by its food. Hey, it’s not fine dinning, but it's somewhere to go to have decent Italian food. The food is solid, a bargain really. $12.95 for bread sticks, salad, pasta, and egg plant parmesan? You kidding me? It’s a night out, convenient, and comfortable. For any doubters I leave you with the words of Top Chef under-performer and executive sous chef at Jean-Georges (obviously she’s no slouch), Lia Bardeen: “Everyone thinks the olive garden is hilarious. And I can understand where they are coming from. But I think for what the category it is in they do a really good job. People don’t realize or don’t think about it, but everything is done fresh every day. They have a saucier that does all the soups and sauces in the morning. However cheesy Olive garden is in some ways, the kitchen is no joke.”

A foodie’s delight? No. But don’t be such a snob.

Pinks Hot Dog

• Restaurant: Pinks Hot Dogs
• Location: Hollywood
• Atmosphere: Fast food, decent patio area.
• Bathroom: Surprisingly clean.
• Date of visit: 2007

Pinks is a LA institution. No Los Angeles mayoral race or Californian gubernatorial race would be complete without a stop at Pinks Hot Dogs for a photo-op. Using Hoffy hot dogs, Pinks offers a variety of heart-stopping hotdogs that slowly kills you as you enjoy the savory dogs.

In addition to the classic hot dogs, Pinks has a variety of Chicago style dogs, chili dogs, and “burritos.” The burritos are a real stopper. On this occasion, I enjoyed a “poli-bacon burrito dog.” This burrito is a flour tortilla that wraps a spicy polish hot dog, chili, bacon, and grilled onions. If this burrito doesn’t kill you, I don’t know what will.

I also enjoyed a chili hot dog with cheese. So bad that it’s good. Processed pork, chili with a kick and gooey cheese. What could be more heavenly?

The fries are also a treat. Seasoned very well.

So what’s the bottom line? Pinks is a solid place for dogs, chili dogs, and to stop your heart. I don’t think, however, it’s worth a detour. There’s simply no “wow” factor to the food. If you are in the area and in the mood, then it’s great. But the chili dog at tommy’s is comparable to Pinks and the lines at tommy’s is not nearly as long. I do also feel that the prices at pinks are a bit high. Lines are outrageous as well.

Suppenkuche

• Restaurant: Suppenkuche
• Location: San Francisco: Hayes Valley
• Atmosphere: Clean, noisy, casual and relaxed.
• Bathroom: Clean, but not great
• Date of visit: 2004-2007

I love Suppenkuche. The place is elite in my books. Suppenkuche isn’t find dining but casual dinning with a younger crowd. The place gets noisy and crowded but the atmosphere is fun.

At Suppenkuche the wait is long. You typically have to share tables with strangers, which I am not a fan of. Often the patrons at the bar overflow into the dinning area. And there may be a group of 20 people drinking 5 feet from your chair. Having said that, the place has a woodsy homely feeling. The mood is intense and loud in a good way; people having fun and enjoying beers and food.

The food at Suppenkuche is great. Most of the entrees are basically the same. One meat of your choice, spatzle, and cabbage. Sure they all taste the same, but it’s comfort food done well. Plus, you wash it down with a great selection of German beer. Good food, beer, loud conversations with your friends; what could be better? Entrees are typically in the $14-$22 range.

Pictured is venison, spatzle and red cabbage. A real hearty meal. The venison isn’t very gamey. The wild boar sausages was also great. It came with Bavarian Kraut. Let me just say the bacon made the Bavarian Kraut amazing. So soulful and rich, you thought you died and gone to bacon heaven.

Suppenkuche is outstanding if you want a loud night out for some great food and German beer.
