I thought today would be the most appropriate time to discuss perhaps my favorite food topic: candy. According to quintessientially Gen-X writer Steve Almond, author of Candy Freak, I am a member of this illustrious group. Call me what you will: Sugarmonger, Chocophile, Dentist’s Best Friend, Nougatwhore (where did that come from?), that’s me. Like [...]

I can’t stop thinking about Dunkin’ freakin’ Donuts. Come on, already. Foot tapping commences. I’m just writing to tell you two things.
One: Sister’s McMullen still rocks hard. We ordered a ginormous sheet cake from them with raspberry filling for a baby shower and fed over forty people for only $30! They finally explained themselves about [...]

Bouchon is totally happening on a Monday night. Who knew? Apparently, a lot of people. Attempting to book a large table for a birthday party, I called to make a last minute reservation. I was informed they don’t take reservations. Okay. No problem, it’s a Monday evening around 8pm, a rainy, dreary day. Why would anyone [...]

Hi Friends! Here is a post written by my friend, the Valiant Vegan, who just returned from a Grecian cruise. He was so excited about his food adventures, I begged him write it up and promised I would post the epicurean details of his vacay. But I feel obligated to warn you: This post may induce jealousy. -Gourmet Grrl
Thanks to a wandering spirit brought on by all [...]

Lately in the kitchen, I have been attacked by the pasta monster. This phenomenon happens to me a few times a year, usually during the season change, when I can’t think of anything to cook other than pasta. Throughout summer my days are full to the brim with salads, sushi, and inventive sandwiches. In the [...]

Update: The picture doesn’t even do it justice. You need to see a human hand next to the potato and an overhead shot to get a true sense of the girth of this Texas Tater.
It’s true. Everything’s bigger in Texas. Here’s a photo of my first meal upon entering the Lone Star State. I wasn’t [...]

Sadly but surely, the climbing numbers on my scale are requiring I focus a little less on eating food and more on sharing it with others. One way to center on abundance rather than lack in times of necessity is to spend money on food for the community. In the spirit of giving, I would like to suggest [...]

It’s that time of year again! When folks get snazzy haircuts, go on crash diets, rediscover the gym and get all dolled up for their highschool/college reunion. Thus, the DJ has ditched me this weekend to engage in demoralizing life comparisons with his friends, enemies, and frenemies from his Kentucky alma mater.
Which is why I proudly bring you:
ASHEVILLE’ S [...]

Last week, a couple of friends and I ventured into pasta and cheese making, using 99% local ingredients. The flour was from Virginia. The results:
Making cheese is not cute, it’s very very difficult. Apparently, you cannot skimp on the water being non-chlorinated, your thermometer must function properly, and if you got a D or less in [...]

The title of this post is taken from a rap by M.I.A., my favorite artist right now.
I’ve ridden the kiddie roller coaster that is Asheville Indian restaurants. I once wrote a Dear John letter to Mother India, previously located in a grimy building way down Hendersonville Road. The letter was the back page of a zine I [...]
