I’m sure there’s a reason behind the name of Richard Sandoval’s Masa 14, 1825 14th Street NW, but I have no idea what it is. I remember him from the start of his soaring career trajectory when he opened to contemporary French restaurants in NYC, Savann and Savann Est, and recall liking whichever of them… Read More Tapas On 14th
I’m going to switch over to mostly food stuff probably for the rest of the trip in the States – over the years I’ve posted enough photos from New York, and we didn’t really see anything in Washington that you haven’t seen a zillion photos of before. Our first night in WDC we met up… Read More Argentú or Pertinian?
Enroute from Louisville to Washington DC – I was trying to both divide the long trip, about 9 hours, into two parts, and also give us a day of down time to just enjoy some of the natural beauty in the stretch of country between the two. It’s a part of the U.S. I’ve not… Read More Country Roads
Our trip continued with a long drive from north of Chicago to just north of Louisville and my parents’ home, where Henry and I stayed for a couple of days. Mostly it was just visiting with them, a lunch with a couple of old friends, and a little bit of touring around, but not too… Read More A Dip in KY

Some of you probably have seen posts and tweets and such about Anthony Bourdain’s recent criticism of folk who take photos of their food and share them on… Read More And All That Jazz
It’s not all about food. We did a bit of wandering, a lot of shopping, and took one day on one of the hop-on hop-off buses to get an overview feel for Miami Beach and City. For those who don’t (which I didn’t), Miami Beach is pretty much a separate city, on an island to… Read More Miami ‘eat
While our first day in Miami started off with a bit of wandering and a whole lot of shopping, some casual food (more later, perhaps), the heavens opened up in late afternoon turning the streets into flood zones and pelting anyone who ventured outside with massive amounts of water. There was talk of a sort… Read More The Bazaar… Bizarre?
A round-up of the places we ate at in Ushuaia that are worth mentioning for one reason or another. I’m leaving out grabbing sandwiches at the very cool Xpresso Café Gourmet (Laserre 108 just off San Martín), where we also tended to grab excellent coffee in the morning; a couple of late night snacks on… Read More Ushuaia Eats
