Food is innocent. There is no trashy food.

Though the Bolognese is a northern Italian style dish. With stronger tomato base the sauce is closer to the Italian-American ‘sunday gravy’ with southern Italian roots. Omit the tomato entirely, and use a white wine,...

and meatball sandwiches. The steak sandwich was top-notch as usual and the meatball wasn’t half bad either. We decided to hit Filbert’s (3430 S Ashland) first to let the lunch crowd at Ramova thin out. People who wonder...

likes to spur others on but then look like he’s innocent. Based on initial expectations, his sinking character is probably the saddest development of all the contestants.

in private, I’d never subject any innocent bystander to my little private quirk!

may end up doing time or even being executed, despite being innocent. It’s an exercise in futility for me to try to convince people who don’t really know me that I know what I’m talking about, or that I tried...

It was also 3.2 in Kansas in the early 70s. Don’t know what it is now. My favorite awful beer in college was Mickey’s Big Mouth (was that really the brand?) because the green bottles were great for rooting plant...

you are correct Docs – tapioca caviar, and a paint brush smear of white choco/wasabi/celery root sauce I thought that was an inventive answer to an inspired choice of movies (“the gum tastes like roast beef” etc)...

The opportunities for hilarious practical jokes on the less experienced foodie alone might keep me in the game! Long ago, when I was young and innocent of the perils of the food world, I had an eggroll annointed with about a...

will. Picasso’s Guernica is a perfect example. You FEEL discombabulated, fragmented and yes (like you say after further study) eventually rage. Then you realize its because so much innocent life was lost so quickly for so...

than being cheap. C’mon, a dollar’s going to hurt you that much? I think the root of the discussion is Americans' profound discomfort with the idea of “service”. We want it, we expect it, we have oftentimes...

up, he could innocently wander into the woods then circle back and steal his own cucumbers without being seen from the kitchen window. I know this because he took me into his confidence. One day he waved from the woods for me to...
