He Says, She Says: Casablanca Kabab House

Posted to He Says/She Says by Beth Dillman and Scott Weber on Friday, February 18, 2011 at 6:59 am

She says: Cards on the table, I love everything Bombay Grill, so I already expected to like this place. The owner of Bombay Grill (who also owns Casablanca Kabab House), catered my wedding back in 2007, and every time I've gone to the Bombay Grill, either location, he's been fantastic about coming over and saying hello, giving ideas about the food, and on one occasion, while I was eating from the buffet, he sent over my favorite dish (which …

Took us 3 different visits to get parking to try Meatheads.  I’ll definitely go back again. Someone had told me the burgers were S&S thin, but ours were for sure thick enough to have some juice. Went with the traditional toppings and really enjoyed my sandwich.  Love…

B.L.: Thanks, haven’t experimented with blue cheeses as other household members are not fans. But since gorgonzola ends up in many four cheese sauce recipes for pasta, I would agree that members of the blue family would definitely be worth trying, especially Prairie Fruits Huckleberry Blue.

Good article. I personally like the crusty bits on top from the baking step, and eschew egg for more cheese. @T.McDade I think a cheddar blends well with a little blue cheese. Try Kraft’s Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp (it’s medium-sharp on my scale, and decent in spite…

I’ve been underwhelmed (at best) by the local brewing scene so far. It sounds like maybe this effort has the passion and commitment behind it to brew consistently good beer.

If the brews are half as good as the Piglet ( twice as good as Destihl ) they will be onto something good.  “Nano"Brews rule!

I agree with everything you say - real mac and cheese is worth the (small) effort. I have been experimenting with cheeses for a while, but haven’t gotten to Gouda yet. I’ll try it. Have you tried anything on the Blue spectrum? I try to mix something…

As a vegetarian, I actually enjoyed Meatheads! Got the only sammich w/o meat - the grilled cheese - with 3 kinds of cheese and avacado. Yum. And the cheese sauce for the fries is *really* delish. Not cheap, but even I enjoyed. it.

Whenever I go out of town, or a friend goes out of town, I make it a point to either bring back coffee, or have them bring me back coffee from their destination. And to be perfectly honest, 95% of it is better then CSR. I mill…

Pamela - Are the roasteries in Seattle as clean as CSR?  It always disturbs me a little that it is so clean in there.

Love CSR.  Apart from making my way through the regular roasts in 1/2 pound increments, I also like to pick up some of the little sample packets of the flavored stuff for when the lady and I feel like getting crazy.  Sticky Bun is pretty nice.

Further correction: the Republican majority in the House of Representatives was not caused by the 2008 election, but by the 2010 results.  As you may recall, Democrats had some guy named Obama at the top of the ticket in 2008.  They actually won 21 seats in 2008…

Some factual errors in this article: 1. Tim Johnson voted in favor of the Iraq War. 2. Gill has lost to Johnson 3 times, but not consequently. Steve Cox ran in 2008 and lost badly compared to Gill.

I don’t know what anyone else will say, but I’d say the format change in 2004 was a bad thing because it sucked.

I pick up a DI every once in a while. Very little substance in that publication. I rarely listen to WPGU because it’s mostly stuff WPGU played 20 years ago and I already *own* all that music and don’t listen to it anymore. Boring, stale, and uninteresting.…

@Spoon River, I have not tuned into WPGU ever since the format change; I’ve been driven to 88.7 and Spotify. I want to support IMC, but when this 41-yr old weathers music from my college days 20+ yrs ago (some of which was played on top 40…
