Well Fed On the Town

Last time I was in Washington DC, I was too young to check out the bar scene. Way too young. Coincidentally, I was looking at pictures from that trip last night and kicked myself for the umpteenth time for wearing my mother’s (too big) cocktail dress to a formal event. Eek. But I was just […]

I’m not a big lover of soups.
I have a bowl now and then, and I generally like it, but I don’t go out of my way to praise soup. However, from now, until the end of time as I know it, every meal I have at Taste of Thailand will start with Chicken Coconut Hot […]

One thing that’s particularly unique about Asheville is it’s one of the few places I’ve been where you can indulge in comfort foods, but also feel good about it. There are a few restaurants that serve comfort foods that are organic, made with locally-grown produce, or feature a vegetarian or vegan twist.

My goodness, it’s been a long time since I had sushi. Too long, that’s for sure.
Tim and I decided Saturday night was the night for sushi. After seeing the crowd at a local sushi chain place, we decided to do something a little more low key. We went to Momotaro Japanese Restaurant on Butterfield Road […]

I love traveling and finding the ‘foodie’ places in a city, but every once in a while, I find that there’s a local foodie place that I’ve either forgotten about or never even visited. Cincinnati has one of those places.

Findlay Market is in the Over-The-Rhine area of Cincinnati, just north of downtown. This […]

From the website one might get the idea that only special thing about Firefly is the plaster cast of a tree, hung with lanterns, smack dab in the middle of the dining room. While the tree is pretty darn spectacular and the subdued lighting and decoration gives the place a warmth and coziness that many […]

Every so often I get a hankering for a good plate of hummus. I mean hummus, not chipotle sundried tomato garbanzo bean spread from a plastic box on the supermarket shelf. I’m talking about a plate of hummus with a well in the middle shaped by a tablespoon, drizzled over with spicy olive oil and […]
