A look at local food discoveries, whether it’s a particular dish or an ingredient, often with one or more recipes.
A Touch of Piquancy
Piquancy is generally used to refer to a lower degree of pungency – often used to refer to the flavors of chilies – such as that of mustard, but more often refers to mild pungency and flavors and spices that are much less strong than chilies, including, for example, those of things like capers, pickles,… Read More A Touch of Piquancy
I’ll Take Flavor
Having just read about the imminent opening of what’s intentionally intended to be the world’s most expensive restaurant (I’m sure that will bring out of the woodwork either a) someone claiming there’s someplace else more expensive or b) the imminent opening of someplace that seeks to top the expense), I am left wondering.

Nights at Sea
Oh the tales of the sea that we could tell, had we been out to the ocean.

The Great Sandwich Hunt 10
The sandwiches they keep a’comin’…. Welcome to round 10 of The Great Sandwich Hunt, and another five bites of filled bread goodness, badness, and ugliness. Porota, Gorriti 5881 in Palermo has been recommended to me more than once as a cute little cafe with great pastries and sandwiches. In particular, the chicken and vegetarian sandwiches… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt 10
What Does it Take?
I was having a discussion the other night with some of the guests at dinner and one of the questions that came up from someone who’s been reading the blog was, more or less, “do you really eat at all those places?” It was specifically in reference to the various mini-reviews that made up the… Read More What Does it Take?
