I’m not really the baking type — probably because I loathe measuring, I’m ‘meh’ on sweets and flour does all sorts of nasty things to my body. But I love me some peanut butter (seriously, I go through a jar a week) and being snowed in today sort-of made me want to bake. I found [...]

After a recent trip to Pok Pok in New York City, I got really into drinking vinegars. So into them that today I left the office for lunch and bought blueberry balsamic vinegar and mixed it with club soda. It wasn’t quite the sweet, tart elixir I was craving (but I drank it anyway, of [...]

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 [...]

Enjoy as an after-dinner aperitif, drizzled over pound cake and/or ice cream, or anywhere you’d usually enjoy the bold flavors of lemon and grain alcohol. Ingredients: makes five [...]

To celebrate our 13th episode, we talked about 13 restaurants that are participating in 2013 Kansas City Restaurant Week. Okay, that’s a lie; we’re not that particular. We actually just talked about restaurants until we got tired of talking about restaurants. However, the first person to tell us how many restaurants we talked about in [...]

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 [...]
