The Place at Perry’s
This weekend we visited The Place at Perry’s and it didn’t take long for me to realize why so many people have rallied behind it. This is a really special place in Dallas—a destination worth getting a little defensive over…

Passport to Argentina
I’m not too familiar with food from Argentina, but from the looks of all the info over at Central Market’s homepage, I think I want to be.
More on Bacon…
My dad sent me this! Jim Gaffigan extols the amazingness of bacon.
More on Keller…
In the November issue of Esquire, writer Ryan D’Agostino talks about what it’s like to cook recipes from Thomas Keller’s new cookbook, ad hoc at home, FOR Thomas Keller. It’s about as nerve wracking as you’d think, but Keller makes it down-to-earth offering ways to improvise with over-salted corn, advice for aspiring chefs & some [...]
Tomorrow: Don’t Miss Keller!
Meet Thomas Keller: chef & owner of The French Laundry, reoccurring guest on TV shows like Top Chef, and one of the most famous American chefs. I’m sure you know of him, but now you have the chance to actually meet him. Tomorrow at the NorthPark Williams-Sonoma, Chef Keller will be signing copies of his [...]
Gingerbread & Family Traditions
So last week I sent out a call for your baking suggestions & was delighted at the response. Thank you so much, guys! Really, you sent some great ideas for holiday baking. I will definitely be making some Chocolate Peppermint Patty Cookies this week (via The Los & Lauren). Sam’s Genoise Cake sounds like a [...]

I have to take full responsibility for that. I’m a writer in an industry that’s really impacted [...]
Tacos & Burritos @ El Taco Bravo
Here’s one thing I learned growing up in Southern California: the quality of food in a Mexican joint is directly relational to amount of Hispanic patrons. Now I’m not saying that this is the only prerequisite to awesome Mexican food; it’s just that it’s a very good sign. A tucked-away gem like Taco Bravo is [...]
Dessert @ RA Sushi
It’s RA, part two! After a really excellent dinner, we finished the night at RA with a light dessert. It’s always sad to finish a refreshing meal with a really thick, heavy dessert… like rice pudding… or chocolate lava cake. For something like sushi, a dessert “sushi” is a truly fitting option. RA’s Banana Maki [...]
Dinner & Drinks @ RA Sushi
Listed under “The Finer Things in Life,” excellent sashimi is one of the best culinary indulgences. It’s luxurious and smooth, sensuous on the tongue, and refreshingly light. After the Japan trip, I was worried that sashimi in the States would never be the same, but this weekend’s dinner at RA Sushi proved that wrong. But [...]
