The Captain’s Chair gets over to Barley John’s, reviews two beers, and reveals that they’re greatly increasingly their brewing capacity, Thai cuisine gets pretty darn local at Sen Yai Sen Lek, whoa! a recipe that uses rhubarb?!, a bearnaise-covered halibut flopped into our Flickr pool, and We Got Served visits Gandhi Mahal and correctly IDs it as good eats.
