Mmm… this IS a tasty burger!
That isn’t what I had this time at Zola, but it’s put me in the mood for a big-ass burger. We had our team lunch this afternoon and I am well stuffed. The place is classy, stylish but not stuffy...

Pot Liquor or Potlikker?
Whichever term you prefer, it’s still a pretty darn good thing. And apparently it’s very good for you as well! Sadly the collard greens are finally exhausted, but the potlikker left over is plentiful. Tonight I faux-steamed baby carrots in...
Thanksgiving Dinner: The Ultimate Table for One?
In her book, An Alphabet for Gourmets, the late M.F.K. Fisher wrote that “dining alone” has its place, however unpopular. “This misanthropic attitude is one I am not proud of,” she writes, “but it is firmly there, based on my...
Comfort Food?

“This place has been my life”
After 40 years, the Childe Harold shut down Saturday for the last time. The owner made no announcement, saying he was too grief-stricken over losing something that has been in his blood since he was a teenager washing dishes in...
Cravings du jour!
I strongly suspect that it has a lot to do with last night’s martinis, but today has just been a day full of cravings, some of them quite random. It may also have something to do with my pregnant co-worker...
Writer’s Blo(g)ck?
Wow, I got nothing. This is definitely going to be one of those “stuff happened” entries as just about all that’s gone on today was I had too much coffee (for which I had good service again) this morning and...
