What's that restaurant in the Bay area that puts garlic in every dish? I've seen it on TV. Probably a bit of a gimmick, but I would love to try it out.
They have a branch down here too....It is called The Stinking Rose. I had my birthday there once.

When we lived in CA, we used to go to The Stinking Rose whenever we were in the Bay area. We stank (stunk?) for days afterwards.

dont believe Ive ever been to a smokeless event, I get the benefits, but seems weird. Something else to complain about how it was different when I was young as I get more and more elderly, and then Ill remembered that I was warned on FT!

Yes and no. My father was a cigar smoker so a not-too-overpowering cigar smell I can enjoy. Some pipe tobaccos smell nice too. I cannot abide the smell of cigarettes. And I don’t need secondhand smoke of any sort. That stuff’ll kill you. So very very small amounts.

Maybe it's the spice mix from India she's talking about?
