• A Man and his Durian

    Check out Jeremy’s post over at Frost Street in which he tackles the oft-celebrated, oft-feared Durian. Here’s the picture he took pre-disembowelment, follow the link for the rest!

  • The Secret of the Silver Skillet Biscuit, Undiscovered

    The biscuits at the Silver Skillet are the best in Atlanta. They are flaky and perfect and light as a feather. They are, in fact, among my favorite things to eat.While I was there today, then, I decided to ask for the recipe. I thought i would use my site’s cache to earn credibility. I…

  • The Thursday Night Dinner Song: “Early In The Morning (Nothing To Eat)”

    I have always hated breakfast.As a child I thought nothing was worse than mushy pancakes, that French toast was the most abominable creation known to man, and that eggs were watery gooey clumps of yellow matter my mom threw on my plate as punishment. The one time I attempted to help her cook them, I…

  • Lacy Waxes Lyrical on New Mexico

    What an excellent submission from site reader Lacy! Seriously, I was so enamored with her writing that I bought a one-way ticket to New Mexico, bar exam be damned. Yo quiero La Choza.In the world of food, there are regions.  The American South, for example, is a region of food.  France is a region of…

  • Vanilla is NOT “Vanilla”

    Negligence and duty of care are not matters that should concern the average reader of a food blog. After all, we’re here to talk about food right? At least we pretend to. Although, I’ll concede, bunny sock puppets making cupcakes adds little to the discourse.But I digress.Today, during our BarBri Torts lecture, the professor—a very…

  • Linguini with Lemon Sauce from Kimberly

    Site reader Kimberly wants America to eat her linguini. Let’s do it for our country!Now, I know the burnt caramel ice cream that I suggested didn’t go over so well. (In all fairness, that lump would have melted in the cooking process.) However, last night during dinner, I said to my mate, “Sam, everyone in…

  • I Like Frank Bruni

    Frank Bruni, the new New York Times restaurant critic, is doing a wonderful job so far in his new role. He immediately won my favor when he reviewed, for his first review two weeks ago, my favorite restaurant in the world Babbo. I shared his sentiment when he wrote: “Among the restaurants that make my…

  • Phew! 15 Minutes Are Up!

    Yo check it! Everything posted below (well everything that was posted tonight) including the Upper Left Corner question was posted in the last 15 minutes. That must be some kind of miracle, don’t you think? Should I get a trophy? Or be absolved of my sins? Who knows, but one thing I know for sure:…

  • Cloitlde Has A Sandwich!

    I am so jealous of Clotilde! Her favorite sandwich place named a sandwich after her! Maybe when I’m in New York the Carnegie Deli will name a sandwich after me?! This begs to be an Upper Left Corner question and I better hurry, only 4 minutes left!

  • Dinner With Katharine at Mama Fu’s

    Katharine is the star of two Thursday night dinner songs, the rather melancholy “Women Outside The Bakery” and then the rather inspiring (and incredibly well-sung, on her part) “Suddenly Salad.” I totally recommend that you listen to them.Tonight we had dinner plans. She was coming from her Pilades class and promised that I wouldn’t recognize…
