I recommend Joan Nathan’s book “Jewish Cooking in America.” I’ve made a few recipes from that, most memorably a brisket recipe called, IIRC "Texas Brisket as served to Lyndon B Johnson." It’s got...

This northwest corner isn’t the chowiest part of N.C., but two terrific places are quite near Maverick Farms.

This may be too late for you, but my tried and true recipe is in Joan Nathan’s book “Jewish Cooking in America.” The recipe is by Wendy Marcus (of the Nieman Marcus family) and is basically a BBQ brisket (as...

I have seen it written in several locations that Pres. Lyndon Johnson once, after eating a bite of pate, shouled "No one eat the meat; it’s spoiled"

precisely he can paint only one style nose and it belongs to Lyndon Johnson. If you visit the space, look around the room to discover that every president has Lyndon Johnson's nose! A total hoot! Kinkead’s: The food at...

It’s just my variation of Pedernales River Chile – supposedly Lyndon Johnson's fave. I’ll try to remember to post it sometime soon.

topic...during the hatch chile season...the portobello hatch “burger” on the porch at whole foods is GREAT...and Lyndon gives good service!

I’ll thorw this in: The croissants at The Adore (East 12 (b/w 5th and University)) are superb

. We’ve never been inspired to try their dinner when River Garden Cafe beckons. I’ve also heard good things about the wildflower B&B and the Cutter Inn, in the area.

.e., Tex-Mex, growing up I hardly ever touch the stuff anymore, but I’ve had some good food at Pico’s. I especially remember the conchinita pibil – shredded roast barbecued suckling pig. Another take on bbq -...
