I will have to look you up when I come to the Bay Area; my brother's in Orinda. @Alex B.: Sometimes I think all I [i]ever[/i] want to do do is go to Flushing. - Joe DiStefano Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:08:47 +0100 http://www.ediblecommunities.com/queens/fall-2009/feasting-on-flushing.htm#comment-18 Wow. Thorough, exciting piece! And I shouldn't have read this on an empty stomach, because now, all I want to do is go to Flushing. - Alex B. Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:29:45 +0100 http://www.ediblecommunities.com/queens/fall-2009/feasting-on-flushing.htm#comment-17 Thanks for that, Joe. I always cull the online media for guidance from you when I visit New York. I've written my own appreciation of the Golden Mall at http://is.gd/4qXxx with an update at http://is.gd/4qXMY and will most likely have more to say after my next visit next month. I'm in my own Golden Years (pun intended) and am all but convinced that I have a choice to make: a) convince Lao Liang to open a branch in San Francisco, or b) move to Queens. - Gary Soup Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:55:48 +0100 http://www.ediblecommunities.com/queens/fall-2009/feasting-on-flushing.htm#comment-13 Thanks Raquel! It was indeed quite the experience 8)! - Joe DiStefano Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:10:26 +0100 http://www.ediblecommunities.com/queens/fall-2009/feasting-on-flushing.htm#comment-12 That must have been an incredible experience! I almost died when I saw my chef Eric Ripert on the cover alongside Anthony Bourdain--another great chef. I was fortunate enough to have done my externship at Le Bernardin after graduating from culinary school, but the ability to have lunch with the 2 must have felt like a dream! Congrats! - Raquel Rivera-Pablo Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:13:44 +0100 http://www.ediblecommunities.com/queens/fall-2009/feasting-on-flushing.htm#comment-9 @James Lin: Thanks for the kind words. I passed by Main Street Imperial Taiwanese Gourmet just yesterday. It's been on my radar for some time now. Glad I'll be able to try it with someone who knows the menu well. @Amanda Li: Glad you enjoyed the article. Thanks for the link love on your http://www.yumyumpanda.com/2009/09/28/golden-shopping-mall-part-i/ Can't wait to see Part II. FYI if you're planning on going to Su San, call ahead to make sure they have octopus! - Joe DiStefano Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:03:02 +0100 http://www.ediblecommunities.com/queens/fall-2009/feasting-on-flushing.htm#comment-7 Thank you for this lovely article! I read it on Friday afternoon, and went to the Golden Shopping Mall the day after. I would've never found this gem of a place without this article and I'm thrilled! The liang-pi was excellent as was the lamb burger. The jia cai he zi was just the way my bf's mother makes them :) My boyfriend and I will be blogging abt our trip here, along with a link to your article at [url]http://www.yumyumpanda.com/[/url] very soon! PS. I am planning on visiting Su San Seafood later in the week. - Amanda Li Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:27:19 +0100 http://www.ediblecommunities.com/queens/fall-2009/feasting-on-flushing.htm#comment-6 Mr. DiStefano, I am a big fan of your column (I usually read on Serious Eats). Thanks for the tips on Golden Shopping Mall, I have tried a couple of the stalls based on some of your previous articles. I would also like to recommend one of my favorite Taiwanese restaurants for you to try. ( If you aren't adverse to eating with a complete stranger, I would gladly play host for such an excursion.) The restaurant is on Main St. by the LIE, the name is Main St. Taiwanese Gourmet. If you venture by yourself, please try these 3 dishes. bamboo boat chicken (quite sure this is not the name on the menu, in chinese it sound like tsu-tong ji), tofu casserole (awesome sauce), and Salt and Pepper Pork Chops. I have no ulterior motive other than I would like to read about my favorite restaurant in your column... I am quite sure that you will be impressed. Thanks again for the insights and if you do take me up on the offer, email me at mojolin@aol.com James Lin - James Lin Thu, 24 Sep 2009 07:30:10 +0100
