I’m planning a Super Bowl party, and would like to serve some dishes that are special to Detroit. My research shows (to my surprise) that Detroit is the birthplace of the Coney Island hot dog: nice! (I ate a lot of these...

So I am doing some research on bakeries in Los Angeles and would like to put together a list of some “must-visit” bakeries. What I am looking for are places that have an exceptional or enjoyable atmosphere, places...

I’m surprised no one here has mentioned the Scholium Project. Abe Schoener has some interesting wines and if your brother does a little research on the bottles, there’s usually a story (a little superficial often)...

Dukkah Mix (Toasted Nut & Spice Mixture for dipping) I found this recipe while researching for my stepdaughter’s graduation party in June, which had an around-the-world food theme. It can be made ahead of time, and keeps well...
