Well Fed On the Town

Don’t you hate when you see great, delicious foods on Food Network shows and you can’t just reach out and taste them? Well, that’s going to be the case until someone invents the EZDiner TV or something of the like.

The 2nd Annual New York City’s Best Corned Beef Contest is scheduled for Wednesday, March […]

When popular chef and restauranteur Grant Achatz was diagnosed with Stage 4 tongue cancer last year, it seemed like a horrible twist of fate, but thankfully, good news lies ahead.
After undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, he is now in remission. Although he lost some sense of taste during the treaments, it has since returned.
Achatz, who […]

I used to work very close to a Morton’s The Steakhouse. I can’t say I ever tried it though (a little too pricey for my budget these days). But I’ve heard that they are pretty good.
Well, there’s a new Morton’s The Steakhouse (isn’t that name a little much?) location set to open in California. The […]

Why go for one book signing when you can meet five authors at once? The Borders Store in Milford, Connecticut, will feature a panel of five cookbook authors this Saturday at 1 p.m. … and one of our very own Well Fed writers will be there with her new book.
Hannah Kaminsky will […]
