No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.”
- William Osler, Canadian physician
Buenos Aires - We’ve all heard about foams, airs, and even sponges - food that’s been pumped full of nitrous oxide so that it creates “slithery, liquified blobs … that have been frothed up with a whipped-cream […]
Learning is not compulsory … neither is survival.”
- Henry Ward Beecher, 20th century U.S. management consultant
Buenos Aires - The gasps were audible. To anyone. I’d just introduced myself to my classmates, and I’ve been working in the restaurant business longer than most of them have been alive. Not surprising on my side, I knew what […]
History loves a paradox, and there can be none greater than a taste for spices being responsible for the exploration of our planet. Sovereigns pledged their prestige, and navigators risked their lives, not in the quest for gold or the thirst for power but to redirect the distribution of a few inessential and today almost […]
If you like Hungarian food,
They have a goulash which is very good.
Or if you wish a dish that’s Chinese,
Somewhere down in Column B there’s lobster Cantonese.
Enchiladas, that’s what people eat in Mexico.
Shish kebab is skewered, in Armenia you know.
Then there’s blubber, the favorite of the frigid Eskimo.
Such delicious dishes, no matter where you go.
Chicken cacciatore […]
No day is so bad it can’t be fixed with a nap.”
Carrie P. Snow, Comedienne
Buenos Aires - I went to the bakery this morning, and snagged myself a number tab as I got in line to pick up bread for this evening…

On The Road is our way of sharing the pleasure and adventure of food discovery through the […]
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.”
- Bill Cosby, Comedian
Buenos Aires - To me, it seemed a natural match - five official vowels, five courses to the meal - why is that a bizarre theme for a Casa Saltshaker dinner? I mean, come […]

"...if you insist on being the aggressive blowhard who takes meatlessness as a personal insult and rails about what fools we all are, you're only going to persuade me that you're a dickhead. When someone says he's Catholic, you probably don't start the stump speech about how God is a lie created to enslave the ignorant masses, and it's equally offensive to berate an herbivore. I know you think we're crazy. That's neat. But seeing as I've endured the hassle of being a vegetarian for several years now, perhaps I've given this a little thought.
