There are actually two gumbo shops in the USA, one in Louisiana and the other in Missouri. Both serve good creole food.
Let's start with the Gumbo Shop in New Orleans, Louisiana. The first reason you need to check this place out is that it is close to many other creole-style restaurants. So, if you plan on spending a few days in New Orleans, this restaurant can be one of the places you eat at, in your effort to experience authentic "Louisiana food." Their address and phone number is:
630 St Peter St,
New Orleans, LA 70130
Ph: 504-525-1486
The second reason to eat there is that they not only serve delicious food, but they do so in an attractive environment. Aside from the seating options available indoors, the New Orleans Gumbo Shop also offers outdoor seating. So on a clear, sunny day, you can enjoy the beauties of the outdoors as you chow down on some cajun food.
Finally, the third reason is that they offer options for vegetarians. The vegetarian dish of the day is only $9.99, and there are plenty of side orders, salads, and deserts that are safe for vegetarians, as well.
The other Gumbo Shop is located in St. Louis, Missouri. Although both restaurants claim the same name, they are not associated with each other. The only similarity they have is that they both offer Louisiana-style creole food.
There are three reasons you should check out this restaurant if you find yourself in St. Louis. But first, here is their address and phone number:
9501 Manchester Road
Rock Hill, MO 63119
Ph: (314) 918-8747
The first reason you should visit this restaurant is that it is reasonably small. If you prefer dining in a more relaxed atmosphere, this is the place to be. It seats approximately 30 to 40 people, so you're not alone, but you're not crowded either.
The second reason to check out this place is that it's one of the few places outside of New Orleans that cooks up some authentic Louisiana-style food. Not many places have the experience and history that these guys have.
Finally, the Gumbo Shop in St. Louis offers catering. So if you have a big company event or family reunion coming up, this may be a perfect option for you. Also, the restaurant's hours are fairly limited, so if you happen to want to eat their food when you know they won't be open, just order a bunch of food ahead of time and invite the neighbors over for some good food!
Whichever place you find yourself - New Orleans, or St Louis - try out one of these Gumbo Shops to experience authentic creole food.

Five Ideas To Save Money When Eating Out
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sarg_Carter]Sarg Carter
I eat out a lot and it can get quite costly. It's not that I have an aversion to eating at home, I know how to cook and sometimes enjoy it! But, being a single guy, it's not important for me to rush home from work and make a healthy dinner. It's easier just to stop at a restaurant along the way for dinner. My friends all ask how can I afford this luxury? It's not hard when you do it my way!
The economy stinks and of all industries I think that the restaurant business has suffered the most. Every week I hear of another restaurant that has closed after years of doing great business. What causes this, you ask? They just aren't getting the flow of customers they need to generate enough sales to cover the overhead. People aren't coming in so they are looking for inventive ways to get your business.
Everyone is looking for ways to cut down on their expenses and eating out seems to be one of the ways people are cutting their spending first. Or instead of going to the "more expensive" places they are frequenting the fast food joints and getting the double ripoff! They are saving a few bucks and trading off for a lot of useless calories and usually substandard food.
Not me! I go to some of the nicest restaurants, get served like a king, and walk out fully satisfied that I have had a good, healthy, filling meal for about what you spend at a fast food joint. Let me explain...
Idea Number One: Never go to a restaurant without a coupon. There are coupons everywhere. Buy one get the second free is a common coupon these days. You can find them all over. Small local free newspapers that you find, ironically, near the front door of some restaurants usually have several coupons for restaurants in the same neighborhood. Look them over and clip the ones you find appealing. Make a mental note of any special times, days, or limitations on the coupons.
Idea Number Two: Learn how to enjoy water. One of the biggest profit makers at a restaurant are the drinks. Forget about alcoholic drinks altogether. If your coupon requires that you purchase a drink with your dinner get the cheapest drink. Otherwise opt for a delicious, thirst-quenching, glass of ice water. If you just can't stand water ask for a slice of lemon, squeeze in a few drops and add a small amount of sugar or sweetener. I started doing this a few years ago and found that now I enjoy drinking water with all my meals.
Idea Number Three: Skip the dessert. Another restaurant moneymaker is the dessert. I have never seen a coupon that specified that dessert must be purchased. When your server comes by and asks about coffee and dessert it's up to you to resist the urge and say "no, thank you." For what you pay here for dessert you could go to the supermarket and buy enough for two weeks.
Idea Number Four: Sharing. Sharing is not a four letter word. Most restaurants give you so much food you could share with your partner and both of you will still be full. Unless your coupon specifies otherwise always think about sharing with your partner.
Idea Number Five: Take home the leftovers. Like I said above restaurants usually give you way more than a normal serving and sharing is an alternative. But don't be shy. Ask your server to pack up the leftovers for another meal the next day. In fact you can share one meal and take the entire second meal home! What a great way to save!
Now you are armed with Five Ideas to save money when eating out. I use them all. Today we ate dinner at an Italian restaurant that we go to almost weekly. We ordered Chicken Cacciatore and Penne with Chicken. Each dinner came with soup or salad and all the garlic rolls we wanted. The Chicken dish was $17.95. The other was FREE (no coupon necessary before 6pm). The whole meal cost $17.95 plus $6 tip, total $24 with enough leftover food for another dinner for one. Three meals for $24 comes out to $8 per meal.
Follow these ideas and you will be saving so much money you will just have to gloat about it to your friends like I do! Send me a note and tell me how you save money by eating out.

Restaurant Review: Kelly's McDonald's of Dickinson, North Dakota - A Parody
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Terrye_Toombs]Terrye Toombs
Finding ourselves in Dickinson, North Dakota at dinner time and without reservations, we pulled into the local McDonald's hoping for a passable meal. After a short wait behind a white caravan filled with half of a local high school sports team, and a green Pontiac firebird with two 20 some-things out on a date, we were greeted by the friendly voice emanating from the display & speaker. We explained that we didn't have reservations and as it was a Friday evening, we asked if they would be able to accommodate us. The disembodied voice assured us that it would not be a problem.
A little background:
Kelly's McDonalds is located at 212 Museum Drive, Dickinson ND 58601. A great spot for a quick bite after visiting the Dakota Dinosaur Museum located 0.01 miles to the east. In addition to a quick and accurate drive thru window, the establishment offers indoor, smoke-free dining, and a seasonal covered outdoor dining area behind the restaurant.
The Menu:
Kelly's McDonald's offers a nice selection of American fare; including a variety of hamburgers and cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken strips & nuggets, wraps, salads, French fries, colas, shakes, and coffees. Prices tend to be slightly higher given that the area is in the midst of an oil boom and many of the oil companies and drilling support service companies are housing their workers in the surrounding over-priced hotels and motels.
My husband selected the double quarter pounder with cheese, small fries and an iced tea. Our almost 5 year old preferred the ten piece chicken nuggets with ranch dressing and an ice water. I opted for the grilled chicken bacon ranch salad with an iced tea to complement.
Our food arrived quickly and as ordered. The professionally prepared burger and tender nuggets were each served in an attractive thick cardboard container with eye-catching graphics proclaiming the contents of the package. The fries were embraced in a paper sleeve that provided easy access to the delectable and mildly salted potato munchies. My grilled chicken bacon ranch salad was pleasingly enshrined in a plastic bowl, although slightly difficult to open after stealing a French fry (ok, more like 5). The properly chilled sweet teas were poured into Styrofoam steins with precisely the correct amount of ice.
The Service:
The drive-up window person accepting our payment was a humorless, no nonsense, strictly business type and was highly efficient and accurate. She has a great future as an accountant, or perhaps a prison guard.
The drive up window person delivering our food was friendly and helpful, asking if we would need croutons, ketchup or extra napkins. We figured he was going to be an outstanding logistics manager once he got past the awkward, pimple-faced era of his life and graduated from high school.
The Hours:
Restaurant: Sun thru Thurs 5am - 11pm. Fri and Sat 5am - 12am. Drive Thru: Same as the restaurant.
Overall:
The neon d�cor is typical fast food but not overly offensive or distracting. It lacks musical accompaniment once the car stereo has been muted for ordering. Typical patrons are hordes of local college students hanging out after class, high school sports teams grabbing a quick snack before the long, arduous journey back to the obscure town they hail from, and famished oil field workers. All in all, Kelly's McDonald's offers a quick and filling meal for a family on the go. http://ttoombs08.hubpages.com/ http://www.examiner.com/landmarks-10-in-fargo/theresa-toombs

Best Budget Restaurants in Birmingham
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Francis_Bentos]Francis Bentos
We've all been there - out in the middle of the city, and hunger strikes. Problem is, you're running a little low on funds today. Maybe you stayed for one more round in the pub than you should have last night, or Christmas is coming and you need every penny to treat that special someone. Whatever the reason, you know that you just can bring yourself to walk down Fast Food Boulevard again. The thought of another burger or kebab is just too much. If you happen to be in Birmingham, however, you're in luck. The city boasts some outstanding dining deals for those on a budget, with the option of AA Rosette-awarded restaurants not out of reach. Below are a pick of some of the best budget restaurants in Birmingham.
Opus
A restaurant that is the proud recipient of 2 prestigious AA Rosettes may seem like an odd choice to start a list of budget Birmingham restaurants. However, Opus manages to present premium British cooking without pretention, and without the astronomical price tag that one might expect from a high-end eatery. Showered with critical acclaim, Opus Birmingham prepares a selection of innovative recipes that are dependent on only the freshest ingredients. Unlike many other restaurants (an certainly the fast food you may have been considering in order to save money), Opus staff go to local markets to buy fresh seafood and other ingredients every day. Free-range poultry and meat is also delivered daily. Diners can sample gourmet dishes for reasonable prices, such as Carlingford rock oysters, and pan-fried quail salad with quail's eggs. The Opus setting is one of contemporary elegance, with large windows looking down onto the street below, flooding the interior with natural light.
Asha's Restaurant and Bar
After something a little more exotic? Owned by Bollywood singer Asha Bohsle, Asha's Restaurant and Bar is an essential Birmingham destination for vibrant Indian cuisine. Winning praise from the Michelin Guide, this seductively lit eatery is simmering with Bollywood glamour. Traditional North Western Indian cuisine is showcased in all its vibrant glory, with bold specialities including panchpharon whole lobster marinated in 5 spices. The warm d�cor of orange and dark stained wood makes Asha's an ideal setting for groups and celebrations.
The Warehouse Caf�
Cheap eats usually translates into 'horrendously unhealthy eats' for many, no matter how hard we try and avoid it. Housed inside the Birmingham Friends of the Earth HQ, at The Warehouse Caf� in Birmingham, diners can enjoy the healthier things in life without having to pay the earth for the privilege! This trendy vegetarian restaurant serves a selection of cheap, light meals, which include a popular falafel. There are plenty of light bites which are perfect for sharing, like the irresistible pita breads, and the cumin-dressed carrots.

Gordy's Hi-Hat Restaurant in Cloquet, MN
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Clayton_Kohlhaas]Clayton Kohlhaas
Gordy's Hi-Hat Restaurant in Cloquet, MN is famous for its delicious burgers, served in a space reminiscent of the 50's. Folks come from miles away to enjoy their homemade burgers along with some of the best fries and onion rings available anywhere. These are not premade burgers. The are cooked after you order it, and comes off the grill hot, juicy, and piled high with whatever you'd like to top it off with. If burgers aren't your think, they also feature delicious fish sandwiches and chicken sandwiches that are every bit as good as the burgers. And for dessert, the shakes and malts are homemade from real ice cream.
Gordy's looks like an old '50's drive-in, except that there are no drive-in lanes. All ordering is done inside, and although the space is large, it's often difficult to find an open table. When the weather is nice, there are tables set up on the deck outside the building, and eating your meal in the fresh air of the outdoors is nearly impossible to beat! There is often a line out the door of folks waiting to order, and once you have ordered it pays to start watching for a table to open up. Grab it as soon as you can. You can sit and wait for your order to be ready, and then have a place to sit while you eat.
Gordy's is located on Hwy 33, about 2 miles north of Interstate 35. It's a fairly quick 1/2 hour drive from Duluth, MN, or less than 2 hours from the Minneapolis - St. Paul area. It's definitely worth the drive from either location.
Gordy's is closed during the winter months, and generally opens for the summer sometime in April or May, and closes down for the winter in September. If you come during the off-season, Gordy's Warming House, located right next door, is open year round. The Warming House offers terrific coffee and hot chocolate on a cold winter day, as well as sandwiches, ice cream, and other similar items.
But you don't have to take my word for it. Gordy's was recently featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, where the host seemed to love Gordy's! He knows that it's very hard to beat a hot, juicy, fresh, delicious burger, with all your favorite toppings, a side of onion rings, and a large shake for dessert. I recommend that you make a point of stopping at Gordy's Hi-Hat in Cloquet, MN. You won't be disappointed!

Silks Bistro and Champagne Bar, Newquay Restaurants
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Michael_Benjamin_Thomas]Michael Benjamin Thomas
Jamie Oliver may own the most well known restaurant in Newquay, but how does his Newquay restaurant compare to the more extravagant cafes and bistros in Newquay?
It seems as if Newquay has become the benchmark for quality dining in Cornwall. There are a number of Newquay restaurants and cafes that present house specialties among an exciting menu bursting with origionality. Silks Bistro and Champagne Bar, located in the Atlantic Hotel Newquay, is the latest Newquay restaurant to tickle the taste buds.
Although there are a lot of quality restaurants in Newquay, none can match the diversity of Silks Bistro and Champagne Bar. Using local produce, delicious fish Dishes are always the house favourite. Specialising in everything from Cataplanas, Seafood Platters and Fruits De Der, head chef Arron James has really put Silks on the map. There is much more to the menu than terrific fish dishes, a variety of meat courses, a tapas menu, a quality selection of sandwiches and, of course, a fine choice of Champagne are all available at very affordable prices.
Situated in the Atlantic Hotel, Silks Bistro and Champagne Bar is very much a separate enterprise. Already incorporating a guest dining area, along with So Sushi, Newquay's only Sushi Bar, the Atlantic Hotel is starting to garner a lot of attention from food and drink lovers. Unlike other hotels in Newquay, the Atlantic has really put together impressive and unique dining options.
Having eaten at a number of restaurants in Newquay, none left a lasting impression quite like Silks. I have made a point of checking future events and am already trying to talk my friends and family into booking a table for a New Years Eve. The Christmas and New year menu looks so good and affordable, you can eat like a king for less than �30. You won't find another Christmas dinner in Newquay at such a small price.
There is also the option to book Silks for weddings and functions. With breathtaking sea views, a friendly and warm atmosphere, and some of the best food and drink in Newquay, there is simply nowhere else in Cornwall that I could think to spend my special day!
I am sure there will be more top quality Newquay restaurants in the future, but at the moment the pick of the crop is Silks Bistro and Champagne Bar and it will be for a long, long time.

Jamie Oliver may own the most well known restaurant in Newquay, but how does his Newquay restaurant compare to the more extravagant cafes and bistros in Newquay?
It seems as if Newquay has become the benchmark for quality dining in Cornwall. There are a number of Newquay restaurants and cafes that present house specialties among an exciting menu bursting with origionality. Silks Bistro and Champagne Bar, located in the Atlantic Hotel Newquay, is the latest Newquay restaurant to tickle the taste buds.
Although there are a lot of quality restaurants in Newquay, none can match the diversity of Silks Bistro and Champagne Bar. Using local produce, delicious fish Dishes are always the house favourite. Specialising in everything from Cataplanas, Seafood Platters and Fruits De Der, head chef Arron James has really put Silks on the map. There is much more to the menu than terrific fish dishes, a variety of meat courses, a tapas menu, a quality selection of sandwiches and, of course, a fine choice of Champagne are all available at very affordable prices.
Situated in the Atlantic Hotel, Silks Bistro and Champagne Bar is very much a separate enterprise. Already incorporating a guest dining area, along with So Sushi, Newquay's only Sushi Bar, the Atlantic Hotel is starting to garner a lot of attention from food and drink lovers. Unlike other hotels in Newquay, the Atlantic has really put together impressive and unique dining options.
Having eaten at a number of restaurants in Newquay, none left a lasting impression quite like Silks. I have made a point of checking future events and am already trying to talk my friends and family into booking a table for a New Years Eve. The Christmas and New year menu looks so good and affordable, you can eat like a king for less than �30. You won't find another Christmas dinner in Newquay at such a small price.
There is also the option to book Silks for weddings and functions. With breathtaking sea views, a friendly and warm atmosphere, and some of the best food and drink in Newquay, there is simply nowhere else in Cornwall that I could think to spend my special day!
I am sure there will be more top quality Newquay restaurants in the future, but at the moment the pick of the crop is Silks Bistro and Champagne Bar and it will be for a long, long time.

The Top Five Restaurants in Belgravia - London's Foodie Paradise
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ben_J_White]Ben J White
Belgravia and its famous cousin Mayfair are home to some of the glitziest, the most glamorous and - most importantly - the best quality restaurants in the whole of London. Belgravia alone boasts nine Michelin stars - an incredible feat for a relatively small corner of London. So whether you're there for the food or the star-spotting opportunities, restaurants in Belgravia should be at the top of your list of glamorous London destinations.
There are enough restaurants in Belgravia to keep even the most ardent foodie occupied for days, but to get you started I've compiled a list of my top five restaurants in Belgravia - there's everything from cutting-edge oriental eateries to traditional British bistros, so take your pick and start experiencing some of the best dining experiences that London has to offer.
Roussillon This excellent restaurant, specialising in French cuisine, describes itself as "possibly the area's best kept secret". This is no empty boast, as the restaurant has garnered glowing reviews from a multitude of respected foodie publications. Nestled discreetly on St Barnabus Street, off Pimlico Road, it offers a welcomingly quiet getaway from the vibrant bustle of Belgravia. Roussillon also holds the distinction of being one of the restaurants in Belgravia to possess a Michelin star.
La Poule au Pot Just round the corner from Roussillon is La Poule au Pot, which Harden's guide has named "best for romance" in London on numerous occasions. From the moment you enter, flanked by potted plants and shrubbery, it's clear that La Poule au Pot is very much a timeless recreation of France-gone-by. Generous portions, honest and fine cuisine, and a delightfully cluttered interior complete the romantic atmosphere. Make this your first destination if you're embarking on your tour of restaurants in Belgravia with a special someone.
Hunan A short stroll down Pimlico Road takes us to Hunan, which offers spicy oriental cooking for the most adventurous connoisseur. Leave your preconceptions at the door, because Hunan is so cutting edge it doesn't even offer a menu. Give the waiter a few pointers - how spicy you like your food, what ingredients you can't or won't eat - and the kitchen staff will create course after course of tapas-style serving plates tailored to your tastes.
Since being founded in 1982, Hunan has risen to the position where it can reasonably be considered the best of the Chinese restaurants in Belgravia, if not the world.
Boisdale Closer to home, Boisdale cooks up hearty food made from only the finest Scottish produce. From its bright red exterior to the blues, jazz and soul music that can be heard emanating from within, it's clear that Boisdale stands out from other restaurants in Belgravia. Boisdale isn't for you if you want to eat your food without distraction, because its vivacious atmosphere, nightly live music and busy events calendar make it the perfect restaurant for those who believe dining should be social and enjoyable.
The Orange A recent addition to the family of rel=nofollow [http://www.grosvenorlondon.com/Locations/Belgravia/Pages/Restaurants.aspx]restaurants in Belgravia, The Orange makes its home in the former Orange Brewery. Affectionately restored to rustic perfection, The Orange serves up comforting food that is nonetheless at the top of its class. Incorporating a hotel, the Orange makes for the perfect base to bed down, eat one of the best breakfasts in London and head out for the day to explore the foodie paradise served up by restaurants in Belgravia.

Most Underrated Bars at ISU
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Nick_C_Fincham]Nick C Fincham
Being college students we all get stressed out from homework, papers, projects, and exams so when the weekends finally get here its time to party! I've been going to ISU's bars since the day I turned 21 and I have just about checked out every single one of them. Even though I have a handful of bars that I usually attend on the weekends sometimes I get a feeling like the weekends are all blending together and I need a change. With gas prices being expensive most college kids can't afford to travel around to different universities to get a change of pace. My experience in the bars have made me discover there are a lot of ways to change up your weekends and keep it cheap so your bank account doesn't take a hit. What I do if I notice the excitement in my weekends starting to disappear is go to a random bar that I have never been to before or one that I have only stopped in a couple times. In doing this I have found a few bars that aren't necessarily as popular as the Pub II and Daddio's, but they still have a lot to offer. I have classified these bars as some of the most underrated bars at Illinois State University and they include Mulligans and Brewe-Ha's. I will give you factors on what makes these bars so great based on my own personal experience and how these bars can add unexpected excitement to your ISU nightlife.
My vote for the most underrated bar at ISU goes to Mulligans in downtown Bloomington. This bar has hands down the best drink in the entire Bloomington Normal serving a strong Long Island Ice Tea in a huge mason jar for about 6 bucks. I would recommend sticking to just one of these because they put 7 different types of alcohol in it and if you aren't careful you could very easily not remember the rest of your night. Mulligan's also has a back patio to enjoy the weather when it is nice out also a convenient place to grab a smoke. Many students start their nights off at Mulligans with a Long Island Ice Tea to get their night going but because it is a small hole in the wall bar it often times gets looked over by ISU partygoers. Mulligans is a nice change of atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in a small town bar while still providing great music and live bands from time to time to keep the party going all night long. This gets my vote for most underrated bar at ISU because it offers everything from great drinks to a great atmosphere for how small the bar is. I would simply say don't judge a bar from its outside. Mulligans just might be that added flavor to your weekend you were looking for.
I put Brewe-Ha's in my top three most underrated bars at ISU because it often gets overlooked because the Pub II is right across the street from it. The Pub is one of the best bars at ISU so most students would find it absurd to go to Brewe-Ha's right across the street. Brewe-Ha's doesn't look like much of a bar because it is significantly smaller than the Pub and it doesn't have a beer garden but that doesn't mean you can't have a good time. This bar gives you a very homey feel that never really gets to crowded and has great drink specials every night of the week. They have games like darts and video games and if its not too busy I have been there when serious games of flip cup have started. If you aren't in the mood to deal with a crowd and just want to get together with your friends and grab a drink this is a bar that would suit your needs perfectly. One of the things this bar has that no other bar has in Bloomington Normal has is a pet. Yes I said pet. The owner of the bar lets his golden retriever wander around the bar and mingle with the students. It is one of the friendliest dogs and will go up to the bar, give a little bark and sure enough the bartender will toss a treat right into the dogs mouth. The dog isn't the only one that can get food though. With great bar food I would recommend grabbing an order of the best cheese balls in town. So if you ever get into one of those chill drinking moods like I do sometimes Brewe-Ha's is a great bar to grab a couple cheap drinks and good food with your friends while getting a nightlife experience you cant get anywhere else at ISU. Sure its more relaxing and laid back but I ranked this one of ISU most underrated bars because it gets overshadowed by the Pub and is a truly comfortable place to grab a drink or three.
I decided to pick one bar from downtown Bloomington (Mulligan's) and one from Uptown Normal (Brewe-Ha's) so I was able to give you an underrated bar to check out depending on what side of town you were on. The reason I picked these two bars as the most underrated at ISU was because when my friends and I decided to go to these bars I wasn't very thrilled at first because I hadn't really heard much about them or experienced them yet for that matter. What makes these places underrated was the little publicity these bars get compared to the surprisingly fun time you can have. If you have never been to these bars before and are stuck doing the same thing every weekend, I would highly suggest making a spontaneous trip to either of these establishments with your friends. After spending some time in these two bars I ended up falling in love and continue to go back to this day because sometimes the most fun can come from the place you least expect it.

How To Choose A Bar Supplies Company
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Samuel_W_Stone]Samuel W Stone
There are a lot of things to be considered when deciding whether or not to open a bar. One of the most important things to think about is bar supplies. Take time to think about what equipment you need to successfully run one and who will supply those materials. It is the supplies on which the success or the failure of any bar would be determined.
When choosing a supplier for your beverage requirements, several things will have to be considered, but a lot will depend on the location of the bar. Different regions have different rules when it comes to the regulation of alcohol. Familiarize yourself with local laws and by laws as they may vary greatly from one place to another.
Locating a supplier should not be hard as there are many companies in this business. Go through the current alcohol trade publications in your area to get a few suppliers. Alternatively, you could just look up a supply company in the yellow pages. You will probably have to contact several suppliers to get the full range of supplies you will need.
Other than just looking for competitive prices, also look for good service from the company you hire. They have to be able to meet your demands as they come, from orders to sudden emergency requirements and all this at little or no extra cost. Orders should be delivered on time and should be handled with care. Most bars use a lot of glass ware and if not handled with care, a lot of losses could be incurred as breakage.
Do a little scouting and visit the ware houses of these suppliers yourself to see their operations. Whether they are organized and if they handle their orders with care are some of the things you should observe. Make sure you do not pick a firm that messes up orders or delivers sub standard goods. Keep in mind that returning messed up orders is time consuming and expensive.
Look out for hidden costs and charges. Some suppliers charge extra cash or penalize clients for minimum orders. Choose only those suppliers that do not have these extra costs and penalties. Alternatively, you can have different providers according to the type and amount of materials you need. Have one kind of supplier for small orders and another for the large orders. This way, you get the best of both worlds.
You may also decide to work with an online company if those in your area do not offer the kind of materials you need or they are too expensive. Consider the extra shipping costs incurred and also their return policy. Work with a company that allows you to return goods that have already been sold. This is beneficial to customers as they get maximum return in value for what they spend.
With bar supplies, constant invoicing is a must. The bar is constantly running out of stock hence constant orders must be placed, sometimes on a daily basis. With every delivery comes an invoice that is a list of all the ordered items, the charge on each and the total cost of the delivery. Make sure you go through the invoice to make sure you are charged the quoted price.

Republic Chophouse Restaurant Review in Green Bay, WI
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Patricia_Summerfield]Patricia Summerfield
For dinner I stopped in Republic Chophouse which is a fine dining restaurant located in downtown Green Bay. It is an elegant upscale restaurant which is designed in a contemporary style. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The rich colors of chocolate browns and gold fill the place. As you walk in, there is a large bar with cocktail tables and with a few cozy enclosed areas in the lounge area. To the right is the dining area where there are comfortable booths for more of a private atmosphere. For a more open setting there are tables towards the front. They also have towards the back of the bar a glass enclosed private room for larger parties.
As I walked in the host asked me if I would like for him to take my coat and hang it up for me, and then he proceeded to sit me at a booth with a menu and informed me of my server's name for the evening. My server came, introduced himself and brought me a glass of ice water. He asked if I would like a cocktail first before ordering; I ordered a glass of their house cabernet wine. After bringing my wine, which was a 6 ounce pour, he informed me of their specials. After perusing the menu I decided on ordering their 7 ounce flat iron steak for $30.00 which includes your choice of a either a garden salad or a cup of their du jour soup. I chose the salad. My server then brought a plate with three 2 ounce containers of whipped spreads for the bread basket. They were red pepper, cheddar cheese, and butter. The bread basket contained small slices of ciabatta, multigrain and white pretzel bread sticks. The breads were very fresh and tasted delicious with the different creamy spreads. My salad was served to me next and it consisted of mixed dark greens, with a red onion ring, tomatoes and cucumber. The salad was nicely chilled and very fresh. Soon after my entr�e was served, it was presented on a white rectangular plate with a sprig of fresh rosemary off to the side of my steak. The 7 ounce flat iron steak was carved out of bone and prepared with a rosemary and wild mushroom ragout, finished with white truffle oil drizzle and fresh shaved parmesan cheese on top. It looked very appetizing but I noticed I did not have a steak knife. My server quickly brought me one. The sauce on the steak was the most stand out feature of this dish. The intertwined seasonings gave it an ambrosial flavor. The meat was semi tender of texture.
My server throughout the meal was pleasant and polite but I was surprised and annoyed when I received my bill. My house glass of wine cost $13.00 which is extremely pricey for a house brand even by large metropolitan city standards. I questioned my server on the price of my wine and he informed me that they carry two house wines, one is priced at $9.00 and the other for $13.00, and when someone orders the house wine they automatically get served the much higher priced one. I feel that this type of practice, for any type of establishment, is not forthcoming or in good faith to their patrons. So I am giving you the heads up when ordering your cocktails at Republic Chophouse.

Review of 4 of the Best Restaurants in Vancouver
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=JD_Stratis]JD Stratis
Vancouver is amongst the more unique urban centers located in Canada, and eating out in some of their fine restaurants is no different. In this article we will show you what we believe are some of the best restaurants in Vancouver. Regardless of the type of dining you'll be seeking, you are certain to locate it in this amazing part of the world. Vancouver is really a top notch fine dining choice. It's usually smart to step out of your comfort zone a little because the variety of the best restaurants in Vancouver can take your breath away if you are willing to experiment even just a little.
Vancouver resides in the southwest corner of the country. It is a� seaside metropolis within the lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada. While touring this unique urban center there are numerous activities to do, and a lot of people end up deluged with what is available and overlook the greatest dining experiences of Vancouver. This article will outline a few of our favorite best restaurants in Vancouver making your dining enjoyment even more wonderful.
The Top of Vancouver Revolving Restaurant sometimes referred to as the "Vancouver Rotating Restaurant" located at: 555 West Hastings Street Vancouver, BC V6B4N6
Features: Fine continental cuisine located 553 feet (167m) above the street offering an optimal look at Vancouver, the coast mountain range as well as the Pacific ocean. Glass windows precisely tilted for optimum observation of the city, ocean and mountains. The restaurant completes one revolution every single Hour, so make sure you take you time!
Review: The meal was remarkable! Even though, I'm sure the beverages ended up being somewhat pricey. Other than that, the meals were not overly expensive. I had the steak, and my wife ate the steak. Her steak was tender and succulent, and my chicken breast wasn't dried out, and simply delectable! We tried the lobster tail appys salad as well as the mushroom soup, which were both delightful! I know some reviews complain about the price and the service but we found both excellent. We enjoyed the atmosphere, it turned out warm and soothing, and you cannot put a price-tag on the views! I can certainly declare, no one will be sorry for dining here.
East is East Restaurant Vancouver. located at 3243 W. Broadway Vancouver, BC V6K2H5
Review: East is East Restaurant has a fantastic and cozy ambiance from the moment you first walk in. The environment produced an incredible comfortable atmosphere. From a recommendation we tried the feast menu similar to Tapas which included small samples of just about all the things on the food list for just over 20 bucks, simply an awesome package. For the 2 of us, we had Ten unique plates plus the dinner included as well 2 kinds of brown rice, roti, greens, soup etcetera. The meal was delicious and the various meats had been cooked to perfection. I was stuffed at the end of it, and did not have space for their dessert!
LIFT Bar Grill View 333 Menchions Mews Vancouver, BC V6G 3H5
The Lift Bar Grill� in Vancouver is a wonderful dining experience.� Fantastic menu selections and their meals are superb. My swordfish was cooked to perfection. My partners feshly shucked oysters were definitely rich in taste plus the seafood/pasta combination was excellent. The service was impeccable and why I rate them as one of the best restaurants in Vancouver. A warm and enticing restaurant for sure.
Cardero's Restaurant Vancouver 1583 Coal Harbour Quay Vancouver, BC V6G3E7
Cardero's has been an institution amongst diners in Vancouver for decades, and constantly tends to make an excellent Vancouver restaurant adventure. With new management, service levels have improved and today complements those of their other eating venue called The Sandbar. Their food selection is straightforward and concentrates on BC-grown food from the ocean. Cardero's patio area is sometimes chaotic on sunny days but still tends to make a pleasurable, dining undertaking. All of their seafood dishes are worthwhile, their Coal harbour location is to die for.
