- DoneOpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 9/20/2014Stefan's is now the roost. Was not good. Too salty. Will not be returning.
- Under New ManagementOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/17/2014I am lunch time regular at LA Farm. In fact, my staff calls La Farm my dining room. It is clear that the new management and new chef are looking to find their idea of the right combination. I was surprised by the new menu (after having the old menu for so long), but change is good and I am looking forward to new and wonderful choices on the menu. The menu is changing, but the service team is pretty much the same. Great service, good food, easy parking. Overall a great place for a business lunch in West Los Angeles/Santa Monica on Olympic.Special Features:
- Less than expectedJdubbVIPDined on 9/3/2014We were 1 of 2 tables at 8:00 on a Wednesday night. Our server was friendly but a little too attentive (probably because there wasn't anyone else for him to serve). Food was ok but I wouldn't say it's much better than a typical chain. I was expecting to eat TopChef food and sadly it was disappointing - artichoke was undercooked, marinated olives were cold, no arancini available, risotto was on the underdone side of al dente. Bolognese was pretty good - authentic and seemed to have homemade noodles. No complaints about the agnoloti or the wild mushroom ragout.
- Devastating ChangesBigGVIPDined on 8/16/2014I had not been to Stefan's in a few months and was floored by the terrible changes to which the place was subjected. Destroyed dining room, going from elegant and cozy to a diner in the poor area of Texas - booths missing, fireplace missing and an ugly view out the front door that had been thoughtfully covered. The menu changes were even worse. The menu is now half the size - which might not be bad except they kept the lesser half. The played it safe with standard salads, scallops, etc., getting rid of the innovative foods which had made the restaurant a place to go. It seems as if they are now playing to the people who think food is to make the body function, not the people who enjoy eating. Not to say that the food was bad, just boring
- Consistently ExcellentjrobinsonVIPDined on 8/7/2014We dine at this restaurant a lot and our anniversary dinner was excellent, as usual. My wife had the white fish and I the Halibut over resoto. Both perfectly cooked and wonderful. Ambiance is excellent and service was great.Special Features:
- DisappointingWLVMomVIPDined on 7/29/2014We went for dinner, and I don't think that this is their thing. The restaurant was empty - so, we were expecting great service. It started off amazing, but then we were forgotten about (it took 20 minutes after our glasses were empty to put in orders for second drinks). The food was just okay - not commensurate with the cost.
- Great dinnerTheLaughDined on 7/26/2014We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the food and service was top notch. We shared everything and were in agreement that it was all top notch. The only slight disappointment was the corn risotto-style entree, which didn't wow me as the other dishes did. But overall great service, fabulous food, great enviroment.
- Where's my Nutella Creme Brûlée?NutellaDined on 7/23/2014The food was absolutely amazing! So amazing that I had them box up both desserts. I always have a panic attack when they take my food away to be boxed up. One time a restaurant gave me some else's leftovers, and it was so disappointing to see half eaten sliders when I was expecting Chicken Parmesan. Unfortunately, this happened again. They forgot to box up my Nutella Creme Brulle. This is the only reason I gave Stefan's LA Farm 4 stars.Special Features:
- Food was horribleKeepingitRealDined on 7/23/2014Literally over seasoned/salted. Even the Bibb lettuce salad they managed to screw up. Steak was ordered medium and came out burnt on the outside medium rare in the middle.
- The dine LA menu was fantasticGailsreview2014Dined on 7/19/2014I've had a very stressful couple of months, dealing with things related to my mother who has late stage alzheimers. Some friends gave me money for my birthday and this was the perfect time to use it (I'm unemployed so rarely go out to dinner). The menu options were good and the food was fantastic and the staff professional. I mentioned my situation to my server mitch. He was empathic and didn't charge me for the coffee I had with dessert. If I can afford it in the future, I would go there againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingSunshine45VIPDined on 7/19/2014We have previously had dinner at Stefan's where we had the tasting menu, which was excellent. As it was LA Restaurant week there was a different (very small) menu for a fixed price. We asked about the menu change and our waiter told us that the menu had in fact changed, and that the tasting menu (and other items) had been discontinued. He asked us to provide feedback as other people were clearly disappointed with the changes also. None of the dishes were memorable, all quite plain, it was like eating a series of ready meals. We had previously really liked this restaurant, so we're not sure if there's been a change of staff behind the scenes. It was only about half-full on a Saturday evening. We'll think twice before going again.
- Very disappointing -westsidefoodieVIPDined on 7/18/2014I haven't been to LA Farm in a long time so I thought I'd give it a try. To begin with, the service was terrible - the waiter kept ignoring us and everything was slow. My friend asked for greens as a substitution and the waiter said fine; the greens never arrived. My roast chicken was overcooked and under spiced and the mashed potatoes were thick and starchy - exactly what you don't expect at a decent restaurant. When the greens finally arrived (we had to ask twice) they were over salted and gritty - inedible. It was very disappointing and I won't be back.
- Disaster!junkgirlVIPDined on 7/18/2014The third time I've been to Stefan's-- won't be back. The previous times were terrific, but this night fell far short of our expectations. We ordered the four-course $45 prix fixe menu for Dine L.A., but it took nearly 45 minutes between courses, and we didn't even make it to the dessert. In the two hours we were there, we were ignored by wait staff, and my friend's entree never even arrived. When we asked when his meal would be served, we were told it wouldn't be served because the chef was too busy. There was no manager on staff, because, as we were told, Stefan was ill and had to go to Finland. He left the restaurant in a lurch. Our $200 meal was comped. I feel bad, as it was for my husband's birthday.
- Just so soPjayecVIPDined on 7/15/2014The service was friendly but so so. The food was just so so. I did like the covered patio as you walk in to the restaurant. It was cozy and romantic. I was disappointed. It was to bad because I really wanted to like the restaurant. Just in fairness to the restaurant is was DineLa week. Though the restaurant was not busy service should have been better, for that matter the food too.
- Great food, great portionsirthesteveDined on 7/14/2014Went for Dine LA's 4 course menu and every single course was amazing, I was definitely full and happy at the endSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently great foodluvthisplaceVIPDined on 7/12/2014Our 'go to' for nice dinner, pleasant relaxing setting with good service. The menu keeps changing- a bit disconserting when you have favorites, but there's always something that appeals. Roasted asparagus was terrific - we had it as an appetizer which we were glad for, as you could really appreciate it. Open face hamburger with 2 eggs on top - perhaps the best "upscale" hamburger ever. Roasted half chicken excellent flavor, but a bit dry, though we were there quite late in the evening. Always prefer sitting in the "patio" but the opening of the wall by the entry has made many of the patio seats less than desirable - as they have a view right out to the parking lot. Hope this is temporary as part of their update sequence.Special Features:
- Great food, service & decorFamilyfourDined on 7/10/2014Service was excellent. Everyone liked the food and the decor is terrific.Special Features:
- Solid place, time after timeOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/30/2014We have been going there for several years. Every time the food is VERY high quality. The service is outstanding. We keep coming back here time after time.Special Features:
- Yum, yum food and great service !OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/28/2014Great appetizers , good size portions,super service and friendlySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Be AwarechickenmanVIPDined on 6/27/2014Stefan is gone, though his name is still on the marquee. Some of the dishes remain, but the flair is gone. The small plates menu us now only available in the bar, though when we saw some of those dishes going by, we were told reluctantly (and too late) that you could order if you really wanted to. They need to get it together if they want to keep Stefan's loyalists.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/27/2014Have had dinner here but never lunch. It was delicious and a perfect spot for a lunch meeting as we could actually hear each other talk!Special Features:
- Fine, not great.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/24/2014I used to have lunch at The Farm quite often. This is the first time I've been back since it became "Stefan's". The interior is fine but doesn't feel as warm as before. The menu is new and has many interesting choices. The cobb salad was very good. The grilled ham and cheese was fine, not great but fine. Service was very good. It was a pleasant lunch, though not particularly memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing foodKMUCLA2014Dined on 6/13/2014Everything tastes delicious. I had the escargot and it was delicious. Their scallops are to die for. And their drinks are tasty and decent pours (could be a little heavier in my opinion but they were good)Special Features:
- A bit of a let-downDiningDesignerDined on 6/9/2014I've been to Stefan's on several occasions for lunch with clients / colleagues and have always been very impressed. I expected at least the same overall experience for dinner, but when I took my colleagues there for a celebratory dinner this week, it seemed like Stefan's had their third-string on the field. The waiter fumbled through the specials and wasn't sure how/when to refill drinks and remove plates, and someone in the kitchen wasn't clear on the differences between pan-searing and deep-frying, rendering a lovely piece of halibut all but inedible. At $60+ per person (we didn't even attempt dessert), I expected much more. I will not recommend writing Stefan's off just yet, but this trip wasn't worth price or time we spent.Special Features:
- What a disappointmentAnonVIPDined on 5/31/2014We made this Saturday night reservation early, informing the restaurant that we were celebrating a big anniversary with friends. They called us the day before to confirm and were again reminded that this was a celebration. The receptionist wished us a happy anniversary. We took a table in a secluded corner in the almost empty main room. We told the server about our anniversary. His response: "Oh, happy anniversary." Service was lackadaisical after that point and when the check was finally presented we realized that absolutely no further efforts were going to be made to help us celebrate. I asked to see Stephen, the owner/chef, but was told that he was out. We won't be back for any future special occasion
- Love it!junkgirlVIPDined on 5/30/2014This was our second time dining at Stefan's L.A. Farm, and just like our first visit, it was terrific! Everything was wonderful--the food, the staff, the atmosphere. I'll be going back again soon!Special Features:
- Taste is not the strong pointDZIRVIPDined on 5/30/2014The only thing positive I can say is that the portions were very generous. My salad appetizer was great but required no expertise of the chef--1/2 an iceberg lettuce covered with bacon and blue cheese. My short ribs dish was completely bland and tasteless. My wife's pasta had plenty of flavor--all from a massive amount of black pepper-no complexity totally uninteresting. Had been there once before and it was pretty good. I live in the neighborhood and was hoping it would be great, but we won't be back. Ambiance and service are very nice.Special Features:
- catbirdDined on 5/30/2014snails could have brought our food from the kitchen faster than we received it. we used a Living Social voucher for the tasting menu for 2 and were charged for the wine pairing which we didn't have.
- MY NEW FAVORITE LUNCH SPOTOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 5/30/2014Wonderful seafood prepared in innovative ways. Very fresh!
- The following 1040 reviews are from the The Roost at LA Farm reviews archive.
- Good for business lunchTherealmjbVIPDined on 5/15/2014Had a business lunch there. though the indoor/outdoor dining area was a bit hot due to unusually warm weather, the ambience, noise level and service were fitting for a business lunch meeting. The menu is great - diverse so everyone can be happy. Food was excellent.Special Features:
- Waiting for the WaitermielcomVIPDined on 5/12/2014Now I know what the first four letters really stand for in "waiter"....WAIT. At least that was my recent luncheon dining experience. I have been to this restaurant for lunch many times and think it is wonderful. The service has always been terrific. And, of course, Stefan's food is really good. So I know I will return and hope my waiter was just having an off day.... or maybe I was having an off day. I'll "wait" and see on my next visit.Special Features:
- athenaVIPDined on 5/8/2014We went for lunch great selection had a hard time deciding. Had a simple ahi tuna salad fresh lite and perfect for lunch We were a group of 7 very accommodating . Others in the group had Scallops and Halibut no complaints ! Loved the tri color carrots and humus.Special Features:
- Where is ownership?WestsideFoodieVIPDined on 5/6/20142nd time in 3 months I've eaten here. Last time I booked private room with 8 people and after an hour we were so hot we had to ask to be re-seated and they told us their A/C was not working. A few dishes were served wrong. Seemed plausible and they handled it well. This time I went back and my wife's order was served incorrectly (wrong dish) and the manager brought a new one and comped it without us asking. Things happen. For dessert, we ordered bananas foster and it took a long time yet when it arrived it was sliced cold bananas in a sauce with alcohol taste and ice cream. I told the manager I didn't want another comp and the cooks didn't know what they were doing. Too many problems a $40 per head place. Eat elsewhere.
- weeknite dinnermistermcduffDined on 5/6/2014The restaurant is a very good looking space with great potential but the food was very ordinary and bland. The escargot had almost no flavor except for butter, not even any garlic. Had 3 different kinds of sliders that had odd sauces. I would not recommend this place to anyone as I was really expecting something special when I looked at reviews on Yelp and other sites. My dining partner was also very underwhelmed.
- Awesome service!junkgirlVIPDined on 5/5/2014We loved our experience at Stefan's overall, but the staff was the best part...hands down! The hostess and the server were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Wish I could remember their names so I could give them a shout-out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vacation travelSpacedaveDined on 4/10/2014We went to Stafan's based on several reviews. All the food we had was different from the usual fare and all was very well prepared. Service was relaxed, but not slow, a good balance of leaving us alone and making sure all needs were met. The server should not have asked if our main courses were good, the sole off note. I would recommend this to anyone who is satisfied with moderate plates of high quality food. They are not easy to find. Once you come into the complex, not obvious. Luckily the valet service flagged us down and pointed us in the right direction. I could not tell if there was a free parking area, but that night I was quite happy to have someone take care of my rental car and provide assistance finding the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service not up to snuff this timeLindaluVIPDined on 4/5/2014This was our third time at Stefan's. The food is wonderful and the space is great. We've never had a complaint before. Service was fairly slow especially considering that the restaurant wasn't full. We hadn't been there in a almost a year and while the food is very good we were a little disappointed that the menu hadn't really changed in that time.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!KaplraDined on 4/5/2014Had a great night of drinks, food & friends, Cheers!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place to EatjrobinsonVIPDined on 3/29/2014As usual, we had a terrific meal at this restaurant. They got a little busy as the evening progressed but our waiter comped us our deserts which took too long to arrive. I had the whitefish which was great and wife and grandson had the mushroom ravioli with a cream sauce; a great dish.Special Features:
- Always delicious & delightfulluvthisplaceVIPDined on 3/26/2014Unique dishes/flavor combinations, many available in appetizer or small plates for foodies. Love the "patio" (indoors, but outdoor feel), with fire pits, etc. Menu changes frequently, but we had: Terrific pork belly with a "sauerkraut-type" condiment (we had as appetizer, available as main) Beet and citrus salad (wonderful) Lamb with a side of the most amazing grits with truffle oil Service professional, very pleasant, helpful and excellent overal, except for the occassional time that they seem to disappear.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

In light of the new 12 our Hurricane Heat that now stands as part of the qualifying for entry into the Death Race, Spartan Race are proud to announce the arrival of the new Hurricane Heat coordinator, Spartan Pro Team athlete and Death Race veteran, Anthony Matesi.
Clearly very excited about his role at Spartan Race, Anthony said, "I bring with me the knowledge gained from hosting three 20-25 hour events that I built around the idea of Death Race preparation. Trying to break as many racers in less time to simulate the experience. That knowledge will be translated into a 12 hour event that will break you down and, if you don't break, build you back up."
Drawing on not only his experience as a Pro Team and Elite racer, but also from taking part in the Death Race, Anthony knows what the Hurricane Heat is about, what it needs and how those choosing to taking part expect to happen. (link)
"Those who want to complete a HH better know and possess the 7 pillars of Spartan; stamina, power, athleticism, readiness, tenacity, attitude, and nutrition," he explains.
"Team work and individual challenges that will test you ability to adapt and react. The typical heavy lifting, off course exploration and camaraderie development will remain the staples of what an HH is."
The Hurricane Heat is for experienced competitors and first timers alike. The same sense of camaraderie and togetherness is how people will get through. For those unfamiliar with the Hurricane Heat, Anthony explains, "there are no timing chips. Challenges will take place on and off the Spartan course and will often times require a team effort. You will do burpees. You will carry heavy objects, both individually and as a team. Mental toughness and quickness will be tested. You may have to memorize something individually or as a team. You can expect a HH to go up to 4 hours so you'll need food and hydration and an HH12HR will obviously go up to 12 hours.

By Ed Osmond
GULLANE, Scotland (Reuters) - Adam Scott and Justin Rose won the year's first two major titles and American Brandt Snedeker would be delighted to complete a hat-trick of 32-year-old maiden major champions at this week's British Open.
The American world number eight led last year's Open at Lytham after two rounds and confirmed his place among the sport's elite by winning the season-ending Tour Championship.
He also jointly led the U.S. Masters with Argentine Angel Cabrera after three rounds and, bidding to land his first major at Muirfield, will try to draw inspiration from the performances of Scott and Rose at the Masters and U.S. Open.
"I've been told about that a few times and I loved it," Snedeker told a news conference on Tuesday.
"The precedent has been set and now the hard part is making sure it keeps going. I'll take any little quirky thing and use it in my favor."
Snedeker played near flawless golf for 36 holes at Lytham 12 months ago, shooting rounds of 66 and 64 to lead the field.
But he began to toil off the tee over the weekend, struggling to 73 and 74 in the third and fourth rounds to finish tied for third behind champion Ernie Els and Scott.
"I learned a lot in the last four majors," said Snedeker who will partner Els and Rose in the first two rounds here on Thursday and Friday. "I learned a lot from watching Adam win at the Masters.
"I learned a lot watching Justin the first two days at the U.S. Open. Just about the patience that's required and the process you have to go through.
"The hardest thing to do in a major championship is be patient for 72 holes and never push the panic button. The guy that wins this week will not do that. Never hit the panic button."
He does not, however, believe that nerves ended his Lytham challenge.
"I don't think it did," he said. "I just made typical American mistakes. The first two days I had no wind really whatsoever and played great golf. The last 36 holes I drove the ball horribly.
"If you do that at any major championship, you're going to play terrible," Snedeker added. "I wasn't impatient but I just failed to execute the basic shots off the tees."
Snedeker made a point at Lytham of seeking out local hostelries to enjoy a few beers and he is doing the same at Muirfield in the company of his caddie and coach.
"I always try to find a spot for the week to have a few pints and enjoy the locals," he said.
"You're travelling with your agent, your caddie, your swing instructor, so you end up hanging out with them all week, having some fun and seeing the other guys out there," he said.
"To be at a guy's event where you're having a few pints at night and having a great time, it's fun. Something different."

Looking for a pension
Why do I need a pension?
When you retire, you'll need money to live on – enough for the basics and hopefully a bit more to maintain your lifestyle. A pension is the most tax-efficient way of saving for retirement. Start paying into a pension as early as you can so it has the best chance to grow.
Can I rely on the State?
No. For most people, living on a State Pension of up to £7,714 a year (at May 2014), is not enough.
How much will I get?
Use our pension calculator to find out how much you could get when you retire.
What are the benefits of an Active Money Personal Pension?
Our Active Money Personal Pension offers real flexibility and tax benefits.
- Start saving from just £80 a month
- Change, stop and restart payments as you like
- Apply easily and manage it online or with Standard Life's MyPortfolio mobile app.
Try our comparison tool - you can compare a personal pension with other ways to save for retirement. If you're still unsure, give us a call on 0845 272 8810 and we'll chat through the options with you.
As with any investment, the value can go up or down, and may be worth less than you paid in.

So let's take another look at her Maxim photo shoot.
Photo Courtesy of Instagram
Not that we've ever actually watched Pretty Little Liars or anything (and we totally don't have very strong opinions on Mona Vanderwaal, that monster), but we've always been big fans of star Ashley Benson. We do admit to loving Spring Breakers, because a) it's gloriously, knowingly ridiculous and b) you know, bikinis and suchlike. It seems Ashley's still very fond of the movie, too, because she just posted the above picture from her audition on her Instagram account. And if you think that's hot, you should check out Ashley Benson's super sexy Maxim photo shoot from our April 2013 issue. Is it time to hit the beach yet?
*looks out window at endless barrage of freezing sleet*
Oh. Okay. Well, back to looking at these photos.

Thursday Giveaway: VeggiChop Food Processor from Chef'N
Giveaway: A DOZEN (12) Chef'N VeggiChop manual food processors
Find it: Buy at Cooking.com, $29.95
We ate our first dish out of the garden last night - a green salad with chives and herbs -and now we can hardly wait to chop up our cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers into fresh salsa. To help you do the same, we are holding a truly fabulous giveaway today. Remember this Chef'N manual food processor, the VeggiChop? You can see a video demonstration here of this completely charming chopper.
We're giving away a full dozen! Read on for instructions on how to enter...
We think that this food processor a great option for some small kitchens. We speak from experience and say that making pesto and grinding nuts is indeed much, much quicker in a food processor than with a knife and two hands; but food processors can get expensive and are too big for many small kitchens. This one, on the other hand, has no handles to stick out and take up precious cupboard space; it's small enough to stack inside a bowl.
We also like that it uses no electricity! Just think - fresh salsa when camping, or at the park. Plus you get a workout when you use it. It's quieter than a regular food processor too.
TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY: Want to win one of these 12 Chef'N VeggiChops? Tell us what you'd chop in the chopper! Salsa? (See some favorite recipes below.) Dip? Mirepoix for soup? Tell us in your comment!
Type a comment in the comment section below by 8:59pm PT/11:59 EST Sunday, June 1, 2008. The winner will be selected at random. Good luck!

probably salsa. And anything choppable.
oh man, i want one of these! since i love me some salsa, that's what i would make first. and since i've got some mangos sitting right here, it'd likely be a yummy tangy mango salsa!
If it's strong enough, I'd chop root vegetables in it.
I remember when you guys posted about this a while back, and I remember thinking that it was an awesome kitchen gadget!
I would use it for just about everything I use my regular processor for - hummus, pesto, chopped nuts. And because I frequently cook for just myself, I don't really need to use a big food processor bowl to make a few servings of hummus, so this would be absolutely perfect!
I'll do salsa first.
I drink a lot of protein drinks when I work out and during the summer time when I'm more active, so I think this would be great to chop up fresh fruits and to mix with protein mix and crushed ice.
Hash browns, baby! Sunday brunch at my place for everyone!
It sure looks easy enough to use.I would love to make fresh salsa.I tried in my food pro but it was to soft
onions, cilantro, garlic, etc. And not just for salsa. For everything. THis could save me a lot of time and smelly hands.
Very clever if it works. I'd like to give it a try.
Salsa and bruschetta, my summertime and party staples. I make heat-less salsa (just onions, cilantro, garlic, tomatoes, and lime juice) that I put on top of EVERYTHING during the summer, and this would save my hands a TON of work from all the chopping that needs to be done.
such happy colors!
I'll chop up some onion, cilantro, and tomato to make some fresh guacamole! :D
I'd definitely chop up some fresh salsa or pico de gallo. Then, maybe some nice fruit chutney as a side dish to some chicken.
This would be handy for chopping the veggies for a huge chef salad!
I L-O-V-E fresh salsa and that would definitely be the first thing that I would make in this!!
Love it-Need it-Want it!
some pico de gallo sounds good...
fresh fruit (bananas, peaches, strawberries) to mix into frozen yogurt. We've had it every night this week!
I'd love to use it to make fresh pesto with my new basil plant, it would be great for onions too, I always cry when I chop!
Just the mention of salsa has gotten me craving some! That would be first on the list.
pineapple - the base for a summery salsa
The Mango Salsa sounds awesome - I would definitely start with that.
I like to make my own salsa, and this would be great to use
I would make my special salsa!
Thank you
I have an old worn-down one given to me by my mom that I use to make smoothies. It's an energy-saving solution for a yummy breakfast! Plus, as a cyclist I mostly focus on leg strength, so this helps keeps my arms in shape (sort of) :) The one I have now dulling and cracked in some places, so a new one would be awesome.
fresh fruit salsa for mixing in yogurt or making silly summer drinks.
I would chop up some celery, onion, cashews, some apple, and a couple of raisins to make my curry chicken salad. MMMM, a perfect summer treat on top of some fresh spinach or on a crusty roll.
I would chop up veggies for a cold pasta salad to go with a perfectly grilled steak!
This would be great for salads
mango salsa!
since i've never owned a food processor, i'd probably go chopping crazy! please give me one so i can be the crazy chopping lady.
I hate chopping onions, so this would let me use them in more recipes.
I'd make some salsa verde!
Some fresh fruit for yogurt and maybe some nuts for ice cream.
Sweet potato salsa and guacamole
I recently ran into a problem when I needed to mince mushrooms for meatless meatballs...so this contraption would help with that for sure!
Id love to win this to chop up my chicken breast to make chicken salad
I think I'd have to figure out a way to make something sweet with it -- maybe the makings of a small pie crust? Or else, throw in some strawberries and rum...mmmm.
onions, carrots, and chicken
Gosh, this would be convenient to chop so many things! I'd probably use it most for herbs, onions & nuts.
I would chop walnuts for my new walnut bananna smoothie recipe!
My family loves my mango salsa.
I would chop nuts.........such a pain to do with a knife!
this is soo cute!! I also would make some fresh salsa to go over a poached egg with chessy grits, my favorite!
Pesto first because of all the fresh basil on my back porch, and then mango salsa.
Clams, bread crumbs, parmesan, mushroom stems and herbs to stuff mushrooms. Yum!! The lack of electricity needed for this makes it ideal for camping, too!
Summer is all about the salsas and the pesto
You're giving away 12, i'll give you 12 dishes(without looking at the previous comments):
chili, curry, salsa, stuffing, meat pies, stew, chop suey, hash browns, omelett, cole slaw, tomato sauce, stir fry. (bonus points for baklavah)
This would make it so much easier to put together my salsa, bruschetta topping, and my stiry fry veggies. I've never tried to make pesto before, but this could inspire me. Some of the earlier posters have, that's for sure. In the fall this would be great for chopping nuts for my apple crisp topping.
ooooh fresh ginger!!!
veggies and fruits, for salsas, chutneys ans pico, I have a turbo chef hand crank chopper thats seen beter days, this would be the perfect replacement
OMgosh I'd love one of these. I always eye them but have never bought one. I'd use it to chop fruit, veges, herbs... and often for salads and dips!! I'd so love it... thanks for the chance!
I have a tiny apartment (well, tiny by Southern standards, anyway) with a miniscule kitchen, so there's just not much room for a lot of fancy devices. This chopper would be awesome for making salsas, of course, but I'd use it even more frequently for guacamole. I can't get enough of that stuff lately, and right now I just chop everything myself!
Plus I've never been daring enough to chop all the goodies for pesto by hand. My knife skills could stand to improve.
I'd use it to chop up onions and peppers.
That is so cool! Like a windup doll... gotta love when you can play with your food! :) I'd probably make salsa. I am a big chips and salsa lover.
Thanks for hosting this fun giveaway! I hope I win :)
One of these would be so nice! Id love it for making smaller amounts of dip and salsa! Great for portion control!
my husband and I go through 4 large vidalias and 2 heads of garlic weekly, not to mention bunches of cilantro and curly parsley - this would for sure make my next chili night less tearfull! I love how there is no power cord... green for the greens :)
garlic, ginger, onion -- all kinds of things that go into curries!!
Cucumbers for raita
a nice chunky gazpacho base
Mango salsa would be amazing! :)
I can't see just doing garlic in it unless you are doing a whole head of it.
I'd mainly use it for fresh salsa. I like to serve it on chicken and in black beans. Basically just tomatoes, garlic, onions, green pepper, banana pepper, little splash of vinegar, salt, little sugar and seasonings. Then I'd add some hand chopped cilantro.
I would totally take this camping! Imagine all the combinations you could do just by packing tomatoes, onions, cilantro, peppers, basil, and garlic! Salsa, sauces, pesto, gazpacho... fun!
Basil for pesto, I think. Or maybe tomatoes for gazpacho?
Salsa seems to be the thing to do with it - I would make one with oven roasted tomatoes and jalapenos. Or maybe it would be good for pesto or hummus?
I'd use it to chop fresh herbs for garnishes and drinks.
Pesto :)
I would make some pretty rad guacamole, because with guac, fresh is the only way to go.
I would love to make homemade salsa. I could eat alot healthier with this.
I would chop onions
I think is made for chopping ginger--for a great marinade for grilling or some sesame noodles.
This would be great for chopping all the veggies for soup or salad!
I'd probably use it for summer garden stuff- pesto, onions, tomatoes... whatever I have to chop at that moment.
I'm curious how well this would work for dough. I use my electric food processor for pie dough all the time, and I'd love to try this too. Perfect blueberry pie, perhaps baked in a campfire stove??
Definitely fresh salsa (chopping onions makes me cry like crazy), also veggies for homemade eggrolls.
I'd make salsa from my first-ever garden! Well, I'd make it in a month or so--here in Utah we haven't quite reached harvest time for anything yet...but I'm optimistic!
i have a mean gazpacho recipe that this would do wonders for! and, after planting much of the ingredients in my inaugural garden, it would be perfect!
Salsa and pesto sauce... I have a big food processor right now, but it sounds like a chainsaw! My neighbors always know what's for dinner. I shudder to think about how much electricity that monster takes up...
I would chop up fillings for my black bean veggie burgers.
perfect giveaway!! i'd use this to make chimichurri sauce, galbi marinade, pesto, gaucamole, anything! this would also be perfect for chopping up our dinner so that our 7-month-old can enjoy the same food we're eating.
Onions and garlic
I would be working on some wicked stir fries... That mango kiwi salsa also looks good, but maybe that's because I just saw some delicious-looking kiwi at the market. I would also love to have it for chopping nuts to make some kolatchi next time we have a cold rainy day when all I want to do is bake. "Summer" here is still only 65 degrees on a lovely warm day like today, after all.
This would be perfect for chopping onions and maybe I could try and make salsa.
wonderful just send it
Definitely salsa.. guacamole, salads!
Probably nuts, onions and garlic (not together).
Those are my least favorite things to do!
oooh, i want one! now that summer is coming up, i think i have to echo most people's sentiments here and say that i'd probably start out making some super fresh and yummy pico de gallo or a mango salsa. mmmm....
neat gadget! i'd chop up fruit for sunday pancake topping - a little mango and strawberry all chopped up with powdered sugar, lovely~!
i'd be doing avocados for guacamole
I would chop all my veggies that I put into my macaroni salad, potato salad, I could list just about any veggie to be used in summer salads.
Right now I don't have anything to make gazpacho with! I could make it at home, rather than spend unnecessary money at a restaurant. :)
pico de gallo, salsa, marinades
Just to stir the pot a little (pun not intended): I would chop up some tofu to make a yummy tofu scramble for those lazy weekend mornings.
I would chop onions, tomatoes, celery and garlic in this processor to make salsa. Thank you for the contest!
pesto with the basil from my garden
Lots of things, but especially nuts, because I hate chopping those by hand (and it would be awesome to make homemade nut butter!).
I would love to make fresh homemade pesto- It would be so delicious over some fresh pasta- such a summertime treat I think!!
wow! i'd make salsa, pesto, chop fruit and nuts!
Definitely gazpacho and salsa....maybe even a chunky fresh tomato sauce, too!
I would make my guacamole.
Definitely guacamole.
onions or garlic
guac or hummus
I'm moving into a TINY kitchen this fall and this would be the perfect thing to take with me to make salsa, pesto, tabouli, guacamole... all my faves.
Nuts and fresh herbs.
onions, garlic, ...
There isn't anything I wouldn't chop with this but the most important one would be onions. I love love love onions in everything but can't stand to cut them because they burn my eyes and make me cry
I would use it to make salsa and to chop up the eggs for my egg salad! Yummy!!!
I would chop up onions and make potato salad.
I would chop bell pepper and celery to put in my potato salad
I would say my mom's guacamole recipe, but the best part about it is mashing it up with your hands (stress relief and a good moisturizer!). I think there could be some good rustic berry/fruit compotes or salsas. Maybe even something savory to go with bread and cheese.
Somehow I don't mind chopping veggies but I hate to chop fruit. weird.
I would ground almonds to use in my pie crusts, make salsa, chop up veggies for great salads, and chop onions for wonderful soups. I have some great ideas, this would be SO useful! Thanks!
This would be amazing to have. I'd love to use it to chop up fruit for summertime smoothies and fruit salads.
I would love to have this in my house. We are big cheese eaters, so that would probably be the first thing I'd put in the chopper.
I would chop up some guacamole sauce. Definitely pico de gallo. I bet egg salad would be good and easy to make with this.
I would love to have one of these!!
I would use it to make fresh salsa with all my future tomatoes and to chop fruit for homemade fruit and yogurt pops.
mix-ins for guacamole! and mint for feta/watermelon/mint salad!
I would love to make an israeli salad with chopped veggies.
pico de gallo from the garden, which doubles as my gaucamole mixings
I would make that my personal onion chopper. I have to be the most sensitive person I know to onions!
I wonder if it would be good for chopping chickpeas into hummus? Dunno, but I would give it a try.
I would chop onions! I hate chopping onions because the smell stays on your hands.
Wow, it would be onions! I really hate to chop onions they make me cry.
Okay, my old one from umpteen years ago is on the fritz and I could really use a new and improved one right about now. Please count me in!!!! I sure would love to win one.
My garden veggies will be calling its name in a couple of months to make salsa. Can't wait.
I'm going camping in a few weeks and could totally use this! I think I'd make guac and salsa to go with the quesadillas we're planning to grill.
I can think of dozens of uses immediately-potatoes, onions, basil, bell peppers, green onions, veggies of all kinds for salads and of course fruit for smoothies.
Onions, onions, onions.
I would chop onions.
Onions are at the top of my list but I would use this a lot for most veggies and for mixing tuna. I think even my husband may be able to figure out how to use it.
Onions! Garlic! Ginger! (Oh my!)

We could use this in our small kitchen. Thank you.
I'd love to try it for salsa. Thanks!

I'd chop onions (they hurt my eyes so bad!). Also crackers and nuts for tart crusts. They get more uniform and less messy than the rolling pin way.
Mostly nuts and pesto
Salsa first definitely, since I grow my own tomatoes and cilantro!
Nuts, garlic, onions, herbs, tomatoes.
It would make my preparing home made soups a lot easier - I hate all that chopping by hand!... and the tears would be gone when chopping onions...
I want to make salsa verde!
Homemade salsa first, then I think it would be handy for just about anything on a regular basis - herbs, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, nuts,

I'm a sandwich person, so I'd use it to chop leftover meat, pountry, vegetables and herbs to make fillings.

I think I'd get some good use out of one of these fellas by using it to chop berries into a rough puree for my morning oatmeal (Irish oats, of course) without having to break out the loud, electric food processor.
I would use it for onions!
That chopper reminds me of my salad spinner - it has the same pull string functionality. I would love that! My kids, who already love to watch me cook, would get a kick out of that!
Chutney... salsa... oh yum, salsa... I would no longer use tinned tomatoes!
Sorry can I edit that last to say also hummus?

Mango salsa!
Hi, I would chop most everything as I have a left arm that doesnt work. These gadgets are so great for me. Thank you for the info
I'd let my imagination go wild!! But if I would have to choose one thing, I'd have to say tomatoes for when I make my homemade spaghetti sauce. Onions and garlic would be my next choices!!
I have always wanted to try to make salsa! What a cool tool to do it with. Yum! Oh and I could also chop up some avocado for guacamole to go with it---oh the possibilities!
Salsa and Hummas
I would use it to make some gazpacho!
I just moved, so... I'd use it for everything.
I don't have a food processor yet, along with a lot of other things.
Besides using it for making salsa, it looks great for making egg or chicken salads!
This would be a great time saver for me to chop bell peppers, onions, carrots, and cilantro.
I'd make a hot salsa no doubt
I eat lots of fruit salads with nuts plus I make fresh pesto, would love to own this lil' baby!
This would get alot of use in my kitchen. Always chopping nuts for baked goods.
I love making slaws, esp in summer, but I hate all the chopping! This would be so nice!
I would chop celery and onions in this chopper.
I wasn't sure what I'd use it for first, until I saw that recipe for Mango Salsa. Two of my favorite foods! That's definitely what I'd use it for.
Onions and nuts
The possibilities are endless. I would chop nuts for Baklava, make salsa, guacamole, herbs, ginger garlic....its would be so awesome not to pull out my other larger gadgets for a small job.
what a neat chopper!I'd use it for all my prep work.
great for potatoes!
hmm, maybe some fresh from the garden mint, spinach, chives and feta for a nice spanakopita filling. i have had many a battle with a knife and some peanuts or pepper for lack of a grinder/blender. this thing could work miracles!
Wow how neat!. Salsa, dips, prep work...you name it I'd use it for that!

(which we make from fresh tomatoes from my 90 year old dad's garden) and marinades. Please enter me in your drawing. This would make a delightful Father's Day gift!
Many thanks,Cindi
My favorite version of salsa, Pico de Gallo, which is best eaten very fresh.
I'd definitely use it to chop onions. I love the flavor of chopped onions, but the onion smell makes my eyes water horribly bad. My husband has to chop onions for me if I need them! This would be awesome!
I would love to have one to make salsa in!!
I would chop up fruit for my daugthers to eat with a spoon
II want.
Salsa -- the onions, especially. I am always chopping onions and hate doing it by hand.
We has a chopper similar to this but not as nice, it would only work half of the time and took alot of time to put togeather. This looks great, I know I would make the mushroom filling for our family favorite of stuffed bell peppers, also salsa, and chip toppings for appitizers. Thanks for great find
Chop up my onions for a omelet.
I would use it every single to chop onions and tomatoes for all my Indian curries and lentil dishes.
mmmm salsa....
I just started a window garden, and I'd use this for the fresh rosemary, sage and parsley. And, basically, everything else. YUM!
I have been craving white gazpacho for the past week!!! That would be my very first choice!
I can't wait to use Veggiechop to chop pecans to walnuts to almonds, sprinkle 'em on my cereals, pastas, and blend 'em to my cookie dough and brownie mix!!
All my troubles of course... chop chop.
At Christmas I make a family recipe (peppernuts anyone?) that calls for very finely chopped pecans. I've been either using a coffee grinder (usually gunks up pretty quick) or one of those choppers you bang on the top of (which is now cracked) This would be great for my pecans! (and during the rest of the year would be great for pesto!)
i can finally make pesto if i get this instead of buying it at the store.
I'd start with salsa
Definitely a tomatillo salsa!
Wow, that looks like just the right size so you don't have to make too much. I make broccoli slaw all the time and this would be perfect. Thanks for the chance!
Hummus and pesto. Ooh! Pesto-flavored hummus!
So perfect for a couple's kitchen! I would make also pesto.
i would definitely make some salsa! I wonder can you chop up chocolate in it? Sounds like a lot of experimenting would go on!
my fave is a cucumber salad yum
3beez at bellsouth dot net
Onions mostly, so they wouldn't make me cry.
I know it's a boring answer but I'd chop onion and garlic. I can handle and smell, i just can't mince it for the proper blend in the recipe.
Celery, carrots, onions, garlic, and sure that I would find many more foods to chop.
Awesome, thanks, I'd love to use this for my garden salsa!
Onions and peppers.
Genius! This looks so easy to use and much easier to clean than my electric food processor. If I win this, I will use it on camping trips. I love the suggestions mentioned - salsa, herb chopping, hummus. Yum!
Awesome contest! Loving the ideas!
As for me, I'll be having the lap band weight loss surgery performed in just under a month -- followed by about a month of pureed foods and protein shakes, in small doses! This would be absolutely perfect for me during this recovery/adjustment phase, and for yummy, healthy options later on down the road :)
I make a lot of Pico de Gallo, this would be great!
I would probably use it a lot for chopping onions for soups, stews, sautes, and sauces. Or how about a good chopping of onions, peppers and mushrooms for a ranch omelet? Yum time to eat!
I'd use it for lots of veggies, especially onions. I use a lot of them.
Like so many...salsa...with fresh veggies from my garden...what a great contest. THANKS
guacamoli yea
Oooh, pick me! The kitchen takes up a sizeable chunk of my 350-square-foot place, but it's pretty tiny. I'm dreaming of freah salsa and pesto and hummus...
I make salsa and this would help chop
Definitely screams super fast fresh salsa!
My kitchen is tiny, and this would motivate me to eat healthier, I think! I would use it to make this really yummy tomato ricotta spread I have a recipe for!
I have tomatoes, basil and cilantro growing this year, so salsa and pesto are on the menu. This VeggiChop Food Processor would be perfect for us.
Fresh Fruit
I'd use it to make hummas or cucumber dressing. I'd love it for garlic and onions too so my hand wouldn't stink!!
Just got 3 (greenhouse) tomatoes in my CSA box. Salsa is sounding good! I've been using a mini electric, but it overchops really easily, and I dropped it last month and cracked one of the buttons. It still works, but it's awkward.
Pesto! Pesto! Pesto! All kinds of Pesto.
I would chop up lettuce for my birds!
Onions! Plus a lot of other stuff.
I would love it for salsa and more
Fruit smoothies for me!
Ooohh..so much to make...I think I'll chop up some peppers, onions, zucchini and and some garlic toput on top of my grilled pizza. Come over and try it!!!!
Its canning season so that chopper would get a hefty workout in my kitchen
Probably basic salid stuff.... lettuce, carrots, purple cabbage.
fruit salsa! my kids would have fun using this.
I would like to use it for salad toppings, salsas, and it would save me a great deal of time just chopping for cooking all together !
I would use it for onions and garlic, because I don't like the smell on my hands.
Definitely to mince garlic.
it'll be perfect for making sambal! - big chillies, small chillies, garlic, onion, tomatoes and some belacan/terasi (shrimp paste) - and perfect for my electrical-component-less kitchen!

Salsa, nuts, fruit, and everything I can think of except fingers! Finally, something that won't chop my fingers too!
Okay, you guys are going to mock me, but I have to cook my elderly dog's food, and this looks like it could help macerate the veg for it. I also cut off a pinkie tip when chopping onion once and have been leery of that ever since... This could be very handy for me - thanks for the chance.

garlic, garlic, garlic
I would chop EVERYTHING in it! I have such a tiny kitchen with no counterspace, and I can't possible stuff a regular food processor in there... this would be so easy to stick in a cupboard.
I would chop fruit for chunky smoothies or yogurt parfaits, makes lots of sauces, salsa, chop veggies for soups or omelettes, fresh herbs, etc. etc.
I could have used this just this afternoon for all of the chunky bits in my guacamole. I'd probably use it for that. And salsa. And about a million other things that I don't bother with now because they require too much chopping to do by hand.
My kitchen is tiny (there's just enough counter space for my toaster) and that would definitely be easy to store. I would use it for everything... I put garlic in everything but dessert, so it would come in handy for that and onions, of course. I just got my boyfriend an ice cream maker, so I would definitely be chopping up every all sorts of fruit to toss in there and to put in yogurt and on cereal. I would also have a fantastic excuse to make a lot of guacamole. The hard thing is coming up with meals I wouldn't use it for!
OMG, do I need one of these or what? I loathe chopping veggies, especially those onions...and yet I find myself cutting up every single day. Please, I need some help!

I would use it to chop all the vegetables in our garden that we hide in our spaghetti sauce. What my kids can't see won't hurt them.

I'd whip up some yummy dips.
garlic for spaghetti sauce
Onions...I hate chopping onions!
veg for salsa and salads, fruit for toppings

Pie crust. And pie fillings. And possibly other non-pie foods as well.
any veggie i could get my hands on. i miss living on the west coast and being able to walk to soup plantation.
First, I would use it to make some excellent peach salsa. Second, I would use it to chop up the raw hazelnuts for my banana-cream, chocolate, hazlenut pie. Third, I would use it to chop garlic for spinach-artichoke dip. Oh, the possibilities are endless with this little machine in my little kitchen.
yum! I'd make salsa! This would make a great father's day gift cause my husband loves to cook!! Thanks!
Garlic for Pasta Sauce!
Use it to make applesauce... or try to at least.
Anything that can be chopped to find my signature dish.
O.K. - so no batteries required. How neat is that! I'd take it camping. It would be great for slicing 'n dicing all kinds of veggies. Put the potatoes, onions, and spices all together in the same container and get a good workout while preparing breakfast. Kewl! :)
Cool -- what a neat little tool. This would be great for camping!
I have this hampster... :-) Actually, salsa. I'm so in the summer mood, that or gazpacho.

Thanks :)
well, i'm new to cooking, so i don't have any other way to chop my veggies but by hand (i'd buy a food processor, but being a college student means that i can't afford one, sigh.)
this would help me out a lot when i am making curries and other indian dishes (the majority of what i cook), as well as vietnamese, thai, and japanese dishes that we make. i can't tell you what a relief it would be to not have to process loads of tomatoes and etc. by hand just to make dinner.
thanks for the opportunity. =)
I would chop onions! They always make me cry.
It would be a three-way tie between pesto, salsa (to go with eggs, I just discovered!) and hazelnuts to add to some freshly baked bread. Mmmmmm!

salsa first then pesto. then bean dip!

onions....or salsa...or guacamole....or all three..{but not at the same time}

Fresh breadcrumbs are also nice!
Salsa--a great recipe right from Mexico!
i would use it to chop anything that can be chopped! especially to make any kind of fresh salsa!

I love to bake, but chopping nuts by hand can be tough. I'd use it to chop up nuts for homemade granola and cookies.
We make Mexican food all the time and I would love to try it out on some of those salsa recipes!

the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is
a great choice if you're looking for performance and value and not as concerned
with cosmetics. You can buy with confidence knowing our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories

Denis Wick Trombone Mouthpiece in SilverThe Denis Wick Trombone Mouthpieces in Silver offer the characteristics of clarity, warmth and beauty of sound with other mouthpiece makers strive to match. These mouthpieces are labeled so the first number refers to the cup diameter. The higher the number, the smaller the diameter.

The 1AL is a focused mouthpiece that has an ease of centering pitches and making a smooth sound, especially on the lower notes and pedal tones. I find that I can't produce a fat sound. The loudest dynamic I can get to is forte, unless I force the notes out and make a horrid sound. The 1AL is good on the ears, but isn't suited for loud playing.
one reviewer noted that the mouthpiece wasn't the right size for jazz - there are plenty of variations available, and if the particular size you tried doesn't work, then find something deeper or shallower. I've played Wick mouthpieces for years, and LOVE them!
This mouthpiece is described as having a shallow cup, with a resonant high register, for lead Jazz players. When I received the mouthpiece I found it to be the same diameters as a yamaha size 48, with a moderate depth cup, which is the same as a concert band players mouthpiece. It's great for concert band, but not Jazz as described. I had higher expectations from this mouthpiece.
I started off on a Bach 6 1-2al, then I went to Schilke, then I thought I'd give Denis Wick a try. The shipping was pretty quick, and the product is outstanding. I have been using a Schilke 53 (3G) for quite a while until I bought a Denis Wick 4AL. As a Euphonium player, I think that a 4AL is the perfect mouthpiece for me, and the deep cup is perfect for a Euph player like me. I give Denis Wick 5 stars.
