On the 13th, New York Times restaurant reviewer Pete Wells wrote about Fieri’s new Times Square [...]

Seems that I have found myself in a disaster preparedness theme. This week I received three modern MRE’s from Wise Food Storage for my continued culinary adventures. My options were cheesy lasagna, noodles and beef in mushroom sauce and pasta alfredo with chicken. I knew that trying all three of them would result in a lot [...]

When I left you last week I was making this face. With such a delightful selection of food in front of me I bet you can’t imagine which one might have caused such an adverse reaction.

Who could look at this lovely thing and not want to dig in?   Most people I imagine. Not me. A while back I saw this on an episode of Chopped and added it to my list of things I should try some day. When I saw it fresh on the shelf during my visit to my local Indian [...]

Released earlier this month, the latest offering from Wendy’s is the Bacon Portabella Melt. Before I give my trademark witty, in-depth break down of this burger, I have some questions for Wendy’s. First, where have you been? Last time you did anything interesting was when you came out with new sides (chili cheese fries, mac [...]

I took a trip this week to my local Indian market, which I have been wanting to do for quite some time. Every time I try to get it together to cook some Indian dishes in my kitchen I realize how woefully inadequate my pantry is for the task. Shopping this week didn’t help me [...]
