When Emily and I started planning a wedding, I was somewhat out of the loop when it came to the daintier details of the wedding. I didn’t have much say in choice of flowers for the centerpieces, nor was I trusted with the task of selecting the vintage cake holders for the dessert table. However, [...]

With Super Bowl week upon us it’s time to start thinking about how to make people full on Super Bowl Sunday. While I have little stake in the winner of the actual game, I do plan on devoting my day to the patriotic act of eating and drinking myself into a coma. I believe I [...]

Kansas City Restaurant Week — 10 glorious, gluttonous days in January when more than 120 metro-area restaurants serve three-course prix-fixe dinners for only $30, and lunches for $15 — began January 18 and runs through Sunday, January 27.  Ten percent of each Restaurant Week meal ordered will be donated to three local charities, including Harvesters.

Through Thomas Keller, all culinary things are possible. With TK’s help (and a blowtorch), I prepared this perfectly pink prime rib roast for Christmas supper. If you follow the recipe, it’s hard to screw up. If you don’t have a blowtorch, go buy a blowtorch. Sure, you could just broil for color, but then you [...]

I’m not one to broadcast culinary misunderstandings, especially when it comes to someone’s livelihood. But in this case, I just can’t refrain — mostly because it seems like the other character in this story is actively trying to NOT make money. Last night, my friend and I decided to try Peanches, the new-ish 39th Street [...]

As you’ve undoubtedly discerned, I’m not a very good food blogger. This isn’t feigned self-deprecation in the hope of corrective praise. The evidence is abundant: I don’t post very often, take months to try new restaurants (if I try them at all), and eschew deep culinary insight for flippant sarcasm. But what makes me an [...]

For some people this may be an emotionally challenging photograph, especially for supporters of Todd “in absolutely now way related to Jeff” Akin. For that I apologize (especially about the sweet potato). Food phalli aside, this was intended to be a simple sample of fall flavors. Roast a few sweet potatoes and beer brats. Saute sliced [...]

Before Thanksgiving shows up and I stuff my face with all things poultry and cranberry, I decided to enjoy the wonderful holiday flavors in tube form. Fresh cranberries are in season, that sage plant my lovely red-haired fiance grew all summer is about to become less accessible when it gets covered in a foot of [...]
