Fresh off this morning’s rumor mill: the Corner Restaurant  — that disgustingly delicious, beloved breakfast joint of all-nighters past —is going to reopen soon. With booze! I am all for this development, as long as whoever takes over the space at Broadway and Westport Road can get the smell of greasy zombie out of all [...]

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 [...]

Monday was the day after Supper Club. The day after Supper Club always brings two things: 1. Pants that are too tight and 2. A mild-to-massive hangover. Though I managed to make it through the workday without anyone noticing I was wearing my secret jeans (thank you, Ann Taylor Loft), I still felt super uncomfortable. [...]

From the Department of Not News: The Port Fonda restaurant is cool. I told myself I wasn’t going to brave the early crowds at Port Fonda, which sort of surprise-opened its doors for cocktails and half-price appetizers for the first time last night. As much as I love food — and Patrick Ryan’s food in [...]

Even though he says they don’t, I’m convinced that the chilaquiles that Patrick Ryan serves up at Port Fonda have crack in them. And I’ve been waiting a damn long time to put them in my mouth — since last fall, when the Port Fonda food truck was still parking outside The Rieger. In the [...]

Here’s a tip: If you’ve ever considered stalking me, you have a really good chance of finding me at the Thai Place in Westport on a Monday night. That’s when the Thai place (so cleverly named for what we would have called it in the early 90s, anyway) serves up a menu of about 10 [...]

Dear Food Diary — When I drink beer, I look and feel about six months pregnant. So, even when I go to places that have great beer selections, like Westport’s Beer Kitchen No. 1, I tend to stick to my old standby, the Horsefeather. But don’t worry, we don’t look like a bunch of hacks [...]

The first time I ate at Westport Street Fare, I went back for seconds about half an hour after my firsts. My appetite may have been a bit enhanced — a very rare and always disappointing occurrence considering whenever I manage to get to that state one of two things happens: 1) I immediately fall [...]

I promise I put more than booze in my mouth. Remember when I ate, like, 75 of SPIN!’s #19 pizza? Maybe I just like to consume things that are named numbers. Anyway, I found a new cocktail last night that you must go put in your mouth. Immediately. It’s at The Boot on Westport Road, [...]

My introduction to the Horsefeather was a slightly bastardized version of the classic cocktail, but I drank it anyway. I was at a gallery opening on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and it was sponsored by Dewars. Scantily-clad, malnourished women were mixing one-part Dewars and one-part ginger ale. I didn’t want anything to do [...]
