Oh and one more thing. Bags of snacking chestnuts bought in Asian markets work just as well as fancy French candied chestnuts. I used them in my cornbread stuffing and cooked with all the other ingridentsm, no one missed that they...

Super Cocina a try... and go sample some prepared foods at Northgate Gonzalez Market... also I think the locals in the know might also vouch for some Contemporary or Alta Cocina places like Romesco... and I know KR has found some...

I have a house, I called in my local bar on the way up the mountain and struck lucky with the landlord who let me have a hare that he had been given by a hunter. Stopped by my friends the organic farmers and ended up that night...

Cinema Epicuria/Sonoma Valley Film Festival are casual and comfortable gatherings where celebrities and famous filmakers easily mingle with winemakers, farmers and “plain folks.” You’ll find less people touring...

vegetables, and from time to time I’ll send my wife to the market for a carton of stock (hate when you go to get stock from the freezer and your out). These days kneading and whisking causes to much pain in my hands and...

retained the same ambiance their father had established. Jim and Joe breed cattle and deliver them out to custom feeder farmers after the calves are weaned. A couple of times a week, both Joey and Jimmy hook up their trailers and...

will make it “safe”. Actually, that’s why I won’t buy commercially processed poultry in the first place or order it in restaurants. I only go to farmers who raise and slaughter their own chickens or buy...

that is definitely better than the ones I’ve sampled in NYC, and drastically cheaper. I can’t say that about the other seafood. I also like the roast pork bahn mi from Thai Binh market, above the ones I’ve had...

is not worth the money. The zakuski (like sturgeon and herring) are tasty and hard to find elsewhere, but the entrees are nothing to rave about, and the cold zakuski were most likely prepared elsewhere anyway (you can find them...

I feel that Whole Foods prepared foods look much better then they taste, whereas Wild Oats has better tasting prepared foods. I feel they are way overpriced, but they are a specialty market. The bread dept. at Whole Foods sucks,...

Hi, I have to agree completely. Taiwanese food is so varied I doubt you could ever get bored. Nothing, but nothing is as much fun as going to a street market and eating your way along a street. The steamed pork buns, guo-tie...

I’ve always found Starbucks coffee to be decent and most of their stores to be comfortable places to hang out. I think Starbucks gets a bad rap because of their market dominance. Put a sign that says “Ma & Pa's Coffee...
