Well Fed On the Town

I’ve been to markets in places all around the United States. I even do consulting work at one of the country’s largest grocers. I’ve been to high-end stores, regular neighborhood grocers and farmers’ markets. Atlanta has Harry’s Farmers’ Market (owned now by Whole Foods, I think), which is similar to other markets around the country.

The cult of personality being what it is, let’s give it up for the beautiful ones.
First we start with Giada and an eggplant. Look how she lovingly cradles that melanzane like a baby. That’s a real foodie (and a real lucky aubergine).
We need something to sautee it in, so let’s drop it in a pan with some Rachel […]

If you live in the Seattle area (or you even may want to fly in for this) mark your calendar for this year’s Hops and Props held at the Museum of Flight.
The date: February 10 at 7:00 pm
This is an international event with fifty craft […]

Stepping into Max Brenner: Chocolate by the Bald Man, a chocolate bar, located near Union Square in New York City, made me think I was in a chocolate heaven.

As soon as I walked into the door, I was hit in the face by an intense waft of chocolate.  On my left, on my right, in […]

For my husband’s birthday last year, my parents gave him a gift certificate for dinner at Carmen Anthony’s Fishhouse in Woodbury, Conn. We’d never been there before, but it’s known as a great restaurant with several locations throughout Connecticut (some are fishhouses and others are steakhouses . . . all locations serve both fish and seafood).
We arrived […]

You would be hard pressed to find dining with a grander backdrop than The Grand Tier Restaurant, as the name insists. In its prime location on the Metropolitan Opera’s second floor, the entry’s mammoth staircase is fit for royalty. Diners overlook the Met’s stunning interior on one side and Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza and […]

Amici’s Restaurant is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it place in Madison, New Jersey. A small place (only 10-12 tables), my parents go there often enough that the waitress knows them. I hadn’t been there before, not since it took over for Dee’s Hot Dogs, a very casual place that The Husband and I used to frequent years ago when […]

One of our very hard working writers has taken the time to make live links for all our FBA nominees to make your voting much easier. I realize that the absence of hyperlinks has been an issue with the polls, but I was not able to find a poll that provided the IP blocking security […]

I was so shocked yesterday to read that Starbucks is eliminating trans fat from it’s tasty pastries in the next few months or so. In the New York metro area, that starts today. And branches in San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago are expected to follow suit and most outlets are expected to be trans […]

I gathered with two of my friends for a ladies brunch at the cozy restaurant, Toast, in the Morningside Heights neighborhood in New York. The neighborhood is a growing hot spot for good eating.
Without delay, we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff as soon as we walked though the door. After we were seated, coffee […]
