Well Fed On the Town

There are two things that I love with a passion: the fall season and great food. The fact that Asheville does both in such an impressive manner is a big reason why I moved here. I am oh-so excited to see the first hints of fall color here, and I’m equally thrilled there are so […]

You would think that being the editor of Well Fed On The Town would mean that I get out a lot. Truth be told: I don’t. I have a two-year-old at home and a crazy work schedule. It’s a wonder that I remember to eat sometimes. Nonetheless, when my husband and I do get out, […]

Remember when we mentioned the opening of pop/R&B singer Justin Timberlake’s new NYC restaurant, Southern Hospitality? Seems JT knows a thing or two about Southern cooking - who’d a thunk it?

A great dining experience can feel transporting. The decor and mostly Japanese staff of Cha An Tea House and Restaurant in New York City nearly fooled my brain into thinking I’d traveled to a part of Asia without ever hopping on a plane.

It isn’t often that a chain restaurant lures me in, but the new Houlihan’s restaurant in Danbury, Connecticut has done just that. Think you know Houlihan’s and that all are the same? Think again. This is a far cry from the Houlihan’s of my youth.
Immediately upon stepping in the front doors the difference becomes apparent. […]

One of the premier culinary events of the year in Asheville is coming up: Taste of Asheville. This is a four-day food event in which Asheville shows off one of the coolest things about Asheville–its extensive network of independent restaurants. In Asheville’s funky and vibrant downtown, there is only one chain restaurant.
The event showcases food […]

When you live in San Francisco, you often wind up milling amongst the clam chowder shacks and tacky t-shirt shops of Fisherman’s Wharf. Not necessarily because you want to, mind you, but because anyone who visits you insists on going there. To me, San Francisco is all about the Castro, the Haight, the houses along […]
