any part of it? It’s not too long ago that I was, like many others, unemployed for a long period of time in Puget Sound. My friends all helped with dinners and support. Why the heck souldn’t I do the same for anyone...

like experimenting with, and they’re not as heart-stoppingly rich as the sublime but dangerous butter cookie recipe also in the book. I don’t have the book here with me at work, but if this sounds like what...

“American” version, which was good because they were almost too big to get in your mouth in one bite as it was. As far as I can see, anything bigger would ruin the whole experience (with soup pouring into your lap,...

Then idea behind creamy grits is to add the milk fat to cool off the heat of the shrimp sauce. The original shrimp and grits recipe made the shrimp so spicy that you couldn’t eat the alone, you had to take a bite of grits...

, with the celery root being a good complement. Last month during DAT, I had a lobster and sweet potato soup at Seasons and didn’t like that combo as much (too sweet). The fries (they call them matchstick potatoes) were...

When I was in SF (gosh, that sounds like a long time ago), I was always much more impressed with the food coverage in SF Magazine than any of the other food sections in the variety of newspapers. To Jan Newberry and others from SF...

shewerma, it arrived uncooked, rare chicken, no kidding. I pointed this out to the man behind the counter. He took a bite of it from my plate by using his hands & rudely proclaimed “that’s how we make it”. He was willing to do it...

. Intermission is way too new and expensive to be a dive. (If you’re looking for a dive and a bite in that area grab a slice at NY Pizza and go to the Tam.) Does the Pleasant Cafe in Roslindale have a bar side as well as a...

When waitpeople don’t know the answer to a question about the menu or wine, and instead of saying “Let me find out, I'm not sure.”-They make something up, which always sounds vague, fishy, and not quite true. I...
