Well Fed On the Town

First of all, Fonda San Miguel is not a “Mexican food” restaurant. That simple label may be slapped on any El Chico’s, On the Border or similar chain or even small family-run establishment, but it has no business describing Fonda San Miguel.
Proudly serving Interior Mexican Cuisine for over 30 years, Executive Chefs have varied in […]

A recent spate of wintry weather saw me venturing out into the cold to join business associates for Italian Food at Spezia in Omaha, Nebraska. Our party of 12 was whittled down to 6, that darn weather, as we gathered near the bar to begin our evening. Drinks were promptly served from the cozy, but […]

Wood-Grilled Chilean Sea Bass in a Lemon Butter sauce, that’s what I was going to have. I kept telling myself that. Yup, going for the Sea Bass, that’s my plan. Just like Helmuth von Moltke the Elder’s statement, “No battle plan survives contact with the enemy,” I say “Dinner plans do not always survive contact […]

There are a few places where you can get dinner and partway through or near the end of dinner service see a movie that’s been out for […]

The real point is that when you find a barbecue place in Texas that’s […]

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 […]

I took my Vitamin C (after being reminded). I tried to deny it, but, in the end, there was no getting around it. I had a cold. Many people think that when they are congested that means bland food, no flavors, they can’t taste anything. But no, oh no, that’s not what it means to […]
