The best restaurant cookbooks are like time capsules, preserving a moment, a feeling. That’s what this year’s stack of restaurant- focused books achieves — with variable levels of success. Don’t miss chef Wylie Dufresne ’s look back at wd~50 or the new two-volume set from NYC’s highly lauded experiential dining room Eleven Madison Park . Casual restaurants, from the Publican in Chicago to Juhu Beach Club in Oakland, also got the book treatment this year. Each collection stands alone as a testament to the hard work of a team pushing for one pristine goal. Cheers to the Publican: Recipes and Ramblings from an American Beer Hall Paul Kahan, Cosmo Goss, Rachel Holtzman Lorena Jones Books, September 19 Starting with the first time I ate at there, shortly after its opening in 2008, the Publican has been my favorite restaurant.

Renata Sanches DO NOT RENT HERE!!!!!!!! Do yourself this HUGE favor. First of all, I feel like living inside of a garbage can. My apartment is infected now with small cockroaches, the pest control company came … several times and I think they are spraying water because is not working at all. I have a baby at home who I'm afraid of getting sick and the office staff don 't do anything about it, actually they don't even answer the phone so you will probably need to take a day off if you want to get in touch with them.

She was smoking downstairs when Pam, the lady who works at the office came SCREAMING, I could hear her voice from the thi...
