I dunno about fashion, but I have a fondue pot from the '70s (harvest gold!) that I break out once every 5 years or so to make a cheese fondue. The last one had smoked cheddar and apple cider as the main ingredients. It was...

. Add boquet garni, some white pepper and cayene pepper to taste. You can use different colored tomato and pepper combinations like roma golds and yellow bell peppers to make different sauces. Not really complex or overpowering...

to Naples, he can’t be blamed for missing a deep-dish Chicago pie even though he’s surrounded by amazing pizza in the capital of the art form.

You’re going to have an awfully hard time convincing me that the Margherita that Bianco makes is not pizza. Indeed, it is my gold standard for what a pizza should be. I still remember the first time I had his. If I get in...

Regina’s in the North End makes Italian pizza (pretty close to the way it’s made in Naples, where it originated). Why anyone would want anything else is beyond me. New York pizza may be good for...

After a lunch in Naples, FL, this past week, I replicated a smoked chicken salad from an Irish pub that I think would work well with tuna. Chop everything VERY small: red onion, celery, tomato, hard-boiled egg, candied pecans....

I’m generally not much of a fan of hamburgers, but I have to admit that the ones at Five Guys are very good, as are the fries. They opened a store in Naples last year.

to the doughy pies in Denver to the wacky Gold Coast pizzas in central and Southern California , I’ve tried to try them all, and STILL, Delorenzo’s on Hudson St. in Trenton (not to be confused with the location on...

Nothing overly romantic here – the furthest to date was a fairly regular 45-minute trek from Stamford to Wooster St. in New Haven. No more need be said. There would have been a farther trip, Rome to Naples day trip this past...

Oh, I have too many to lists...but here are a few of my favorites over the years...Italian Kitchen (off Union & Colorado) for lunch and wine, Sushi of Naples on Green St, Cafe Verde on Green (amazing gourmet Mexican and killer...

, by the way, who are you to say that fried chicken at Stroud’s in Kansas City is any the less than the foie gras anywhere in Paris? Or steak in Brooklyn is better than brisket in Luling? Next you’ll insist that the...

Hey, I got to recommend “Mom is Cooking” It’s on Geneva ave right off of Naples street. The neighborhood is a bit on the rough side, especially now, but the food is great! The owners name is Richard and they...
