Since we are about to enter the height of tourist season here in our fair mountain town, I thought I would post the ultimate three-day Asheville epicurean experience. For this post I focused on foods and locales that are quintessentially “Asheville.” Sometimes I feel I’m living in a cultural wasteland, but other times I remember, [...]

I played Ms. Darbus in a local production of High School Musical. Singing, dancing, and teenage drama groupies abounded. It was a fabulous time, but because of it all I haven’t eaten much of note, except for a modicum of Skittles, possibly my favorite non-chocolate candy. Oh, here’s some theatre/food etiquette. If they’re selling popcorn at intermission, [...]

This past April, I led a Passover Seder for others, and I was able to watch children delight in flicking the passover wine onto their plates with their finger, to symbolize [...]

I have great love for Asheville’s The Noodle Shop. It’s the most authentic chinese food in town, the price is right, I love the service, and you cannot beat the location. But as of today, I have eaten everything good on their menu over 643 times. However, there are a few dishes that easily surpass [...]

So I’m in Vancouver, BC, and I hold The List. All sources: wino on the corner, B and B host, guidebook, and ex-pat friend from high school, have recommended one restaurant as the top choice when dining in their fair metropolis. So on the very first night, we scoured the neighborhood of West Granville (or [...]

If you go to Portland, friends, as you have been directed, you must spend at least one evening doing the following:
Grab dinner at the fabulous Mexican taqueria on Mississippi Ave called, ?Por Que No? This place is kind of yuppified, located in the burgeoning hip neighborhood of North Portland. But it’s incredible. It’s a California style taqueria, serving [...]
