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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s about damn time I ate some of Alex Pope’s food again. As a few friends and I sat around my living room sipping a bottle of Boulevard Saison Brett in preparation for the Alex Pope beer dinner hosted at Beer Kitchen in Westport on Monday September 17, I reminisced about all of the different [...]

It’s tucked away in Armourdale (or Argentine or Rosedale – I never really know the difference), KCK, in a place you might be able to drive by without [...]

I got a phone call not that long ago that began an interesting journey in my kitchen. The call was from a friend and co-worker. I missed his call, but the message went something like this: “Hey dude. My brothers and I just bought a whole pig but it’s too big for our La Caja [...]

(Note: I tried to post this awhile ago, but every time I go buy one of these sandwiches it somehow finds its ways into my mouth before I have time to take a usable picture. Finally I waited long enough to get an actual picture.) Emily talked sandwiches in the radio a few Fridays ago. [...]

Creole out the b-hole was the theme to my weekend at Jazzfest down in New Orleans last weekend. Four good buddies and myself headed to the Big Easy for a weekend of good cajun music and good cajun food. The first night found the crew at Root where we navigated an intense menu with agility [...]
