If you are headed to San Francisco and are looking for more than just a meal on the town, Foreign Cinema should be on your short list. In addition to serving dinner nightly and brunch on the weekend, you have the opportunity to watch both foreign and independent films. A thirteen year old restaurant, Chef Gayle knows how to create the perfect menu, which will please diners as they enjoy the ambience. I was able to speak with Chef Gayle to learn more about Foreign Cinema.

Corned Beef
by Elizabeth Skipper on March 6th, 2012 | Ask the Chef
Can I make my own corned beef instead of buying the brined meat? If so, is it a project that is better left to the professionals or something I should try?
With St. Patty's Day right around the corner, it's a perfect time to try your hand at making your own corned beef. You don't need to leave this to "the professionals."
We all used to be the professionals. In the days before large food processors existed to perform these tasks for us, people raised their own food and were responsible for preserving it as well. Food was precious. "Corning" beef

McGillin’s Lamb Sausage

Have you ever thought of serving sausage for your St. Patrick's Day meal? I am guessing that there is a good chance that the answer is no. It seems that most people associate sausage with Italian food, as they tend to think of pork sausage that has been simmering in marinara. Of course, sausage covers many different genres of food, as it can be made with almost any meat and have infinite combinations of seasonings added.
For a St. Pat's menu that is sure to be different and delicious this should work. The combination of lamb sausage, colcannon, onions, and

Scots Irish Stew

As far as holidays go, I think that St. Patrick's Day is one of the most celebrated holidays that doesn't involve much cooking creativity. What I've seen is that people either go to a restaurant serving Irish fare or make corned beef and cabbage at home. For some reason, the wearing o' the green doesn't encourage people to try different dishes.
Hopefully this recipe series will encourage Think Tasty readers to serve something new. With St. Patrick's Day falling on a Saturday, it gives home cooks even more time and opportunity to try a new recipe and surprise their friends

Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro, Boston, MA
by TT on February 16th, 2012 | Restaurant Reviews
Last Sunday I was invited to dine at Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro. Bringing my husband as my dining companion, we headed to Boston on a cold and blustery February afternoon. The warmth of the food, staff, and atmosphere definitely helped erase the memories of the cold outdoors.
We arrived in Boston early and spent some time shopping on Charles Street. However, with the cold temperatures, we decided to cut our shopping short and head to the restaurant early. They graciously seated us 30 minutes earlier than our reservation. This didn't seem like an inconvenience, as we were the
