Epicure

Many of you are already acquainted with Epicure , member since June 13, 2000. But for those who haven't had a taste of good writing, here's just a nibble:

The crowning glory of the room is without a doubt its view. The center wall is a floor-to-ceiling glass window which looks out on to the most ridiculously beautiful floral display that I have ever seen as part of a dining establishment. I remember attending the Philadelphia Flower Show a few years ago, and being quite impressed by the lavish exhibits there. I would have never expected a restaurant to be able to replicate such a thing, but that is exactly what The White Barn Inn has done. Enormous pots of riotous flowering plants are arranged on the steps and platforms outside the window, so from top to bottom, all you see are flowers. It's like looking at a painting where not an inch of the canvas has been left blank. Illuminated against the opaque skies, the magenta, coral, scarlet-colored flowers were especially dazzling, a veritable explosion of color. I was later told by our server that this floral display changes seasonally, so there is a different one every three months. I would go back just to see the other ones.

That's from a review of The White Barn Inn.
Good stuff!

I had the pleasure of joining epicure (Michelle) for a meal in New York City during a recent business trip of mine. We met at Fairway for brunch -- a place she had reviewed a few weeks earlier and that resonated with me as a fun New York kind of place.

Not only is she a good writer and a great community member, she's also a delightful person.

I applaud Grouch's choice to include her in this forum, and urge all of you to take a moment and read some of her reviews.

Thanks,

nick

Chimin' in on this one

Although I'm envious that Nick was able to meet epicure in person, I wanted to chime in to say that I find her to be an absolute pleasure to read.
