Thoughts on the evolution of "Peasant Food?"
Another thought. As PT Barnum put it, “there is a sucker born every minute.” Best imagery for me when I see “simple food” morphed into something chic:) My momma and her siblings brought there Mississippi...

Top Chef 2 Finale, lets get the conversation started (Spoilers inside)!
Ugh. I liked Marcel’s risks throughout the show, but Ilan held it together tonight. Though I’d have rather eaten Marcel’s meal (provided I did not know Mike had touched my food at some point). Ohhhhhh, the...

Critique my Minneapolis list
. They do have good falafel and grape leaves, and their toasted feta app is quite tasty. It’s a nicer venue than their location at Lake and Lyndale. A few blocks from Bloomington on Portland just south of 494 are a couple of...

That place is pricey?
Dolores, I like that you added the point about groceries. I once had an issue with someone ordering macadamia encrusted tilapia with green beans for $19. I explained that the tilapia filet itself cost about $2. The greenbeans...

Languedoc: Turned Away at Restaurant Emile in Toulouse
on a potato and spinach base bound together with a herb-tinged green olive oil, as shown below. While it looked fantastic, the crusty prawns were too dry and cottony. They did have a nice sweet flavor, but the texture turned me...

How Did You "Deal" With Being Poor (and Young) Before You Could Afford to Dine Out (or eat well dining in)?
I am still very low income, so I’m always discovering new and fascinating ways of saving money. Twenty-pound bags of rice are sold in Chinatown. Green beans in Chinatown are, on a good day, 50 cents a pound. The chili sauces...

Do you ever like the crappy better than the excellent?
I’ve always liked cheap grape jelly more than the name brands (same with apple jelly). I also prefer the generic cottage cheese (full-fat, large curd) over all others, with exception to Nancy’s organic.
