On the Menu: Compost Cookies
Mmm, sounds appetizing, doesn’t it? You know the phrase “everything but the kitchen sink?” Well, pastry chef Christina Tosi from David Chang’s Momofuku Milk Bar in New York City is taking that phrase to new heights with her newest bakery menu creation.
Her Compost Cookies are made from bits and pieces she happens to have laying about […]
Chrissie Hynde Restauranteur?
Yup, she sure is. Chrissie Hynde is perhaps best known for her days as the lead singer of the group the Pretenders, but now she can add another occupation to her resume … restauranteur. Just a little over a year ago, she opened up her very own vegetarian restaurant in her hometown of Akron, Ohio.

Massachusetts Gets Serious About Food Allergies
Then you might want to send a little thank you note to celebrity chef Ming Tsai. He recently helped pass a bill in Massachusetts that will make it a lot easier for you to dine out. I don’t have food allergies, but some of my friends’ children have terrible nut allergies, and I know what […]
Bargains Abound at T.G.I. Friday’s
Recently, we dined at T.G.I. Friday’s to celebrate my stepdaughter’s good report card. Deemed her “favorite” restaurant, the place was busy and lively as usual. We dined on Baked Potato Skins and discovered some real bargains in the entrees, like a pasta dish I had that was under $6.
At least T.G.I. Friday’s appears to be […]

Burger King, What Are You Thinking?
No matter what they do, I think it’s safe to say that Burger King will always be #2 to McDonald’s number one spot. It’s just the way it is. But luckily for us, that doesn’t stop them for adding new and unusual items to their menu. Macaroni and cheese for kids? Done. Cheesy Tots? Done. […]
EVENT: Cayman Cookout with Eric Ripert
As if we all need another reason to get ourselves over to the Caribbean … Chef Eric Ripert and his colleagues (none other than Anthony Bourdain, Dean Fearing, Ingrid Hoffman, Laurent Manrique, Michel Richard and Laurent Tourondel) are throwing a Cayman Cookout in January in, you guessed it, the Cayman Islands. Escape the winter doldrums […]
