the Kennedy books or Rick Bayless' books, they’re both good at what they do. Several years ago I was in Chicago for the NRA and tried to convince the people I was with that we should go to Frontera Grill for dinner. No go,...

I was in your amazing city last week for the NRA, but stayed a couple extra days for more food. My personal fave was definitely Avec. I was there twice and tasted my way through most of the menu. Highlights were the whipped...

My most recent (and only) visit to Vitello’s made me extremely happy that the NRA's lobby to arm all Americans hasn’t come to pass. Several months ago I took my out-of-town mom to Vitello’s and while we were...

, but for the most part I find the flavor, even the more exotic ones, flat. On the other hand, a chef friend who was in a few months ago for the NRA went gaga over the Vosges curry truffle and she has an exceptional palate....

the big NRA show in Chicago every year (which should be seen once in a lifetime to be belived), I usually do like to do the Fancy Food show. For people in the business it provides us an opportunity to see products our usual...

I am trying to decide between three different materials for countertops. I currently have corian and it has a lot of scratches in it and I am deathly afraid to set hot things on it because a friend had some heat damage to hers....

I thought AB came off very protective of his favorite joints, as if shielding off tourist “As seen on TV” invasions, he mumbled most names of the restaurants and hardly gave out locations of the places, except for the...

that awful, angry, imperious, impatient customers are a vastly greater problem than slightly clueless cashiers. Trying that job even once would make even the most ardent NRA member beg for gun control. And, to this day, I push...
