QUICK BITES
I'm enjoying the lively discussion re: corkage fees at BYOBs. Poster 93Chambertin makes gallons of valid, smart points.
BUT: I'd like to hear comments/thoughts from a BYOB owner who charges a corkage fee or a restaurateur with a liquor license who refuses to allow diners to bring special bottles not on his/her wine list for the cost of a reasonable corkage fee. We need to understand the other side in this debate.
Hey, wine geeks - where's your competitive spirit? Rise to the occasion of my challenge (a few blog entries back) to explain what wine you enjoy partnering with what fast food. The cookery book that's the winner's prize is a truly excellent one. I stand by my rose with cheesesteaks and I dig the poster who offered "555'' with Popeye chix.
I'm going nuts with the local scallops. Hope to have some cooking ideas for you a week from today in Foraging.
A last nibble before I take off for chow scouting: If you're looking for a new option in casual fare, check out my Eat Out column this coming Friday in Jersey Alive! It's grub I've not found before in these parts. And it's a whirl of deliciousness.
cheers,

I belive NJ law states you cant
bring anything kind of bev..into
A place that sells liquor..for fear it might not be what it really is ..like a water bottle filled with vodka by a bunch of teens????the place is held account if they leave drunk...also most places will not let you bring in your own bottle if they sell it there..just my thought...i know i would not...why in world would i let you bring in your own bottle when i can sell it to you???????
That's the point of an acceptable corkage fee. If you sell it already, you lose the sale, hence the corkage fee. As for your thoughts on the law, restaurants aside, underage people aren't allowed into bars anyway, so that takes care of the fear of vodka in a water bottle, etc.
