A depressingly large number of people do not know how to do this. How simple it is! How delicious! Yes, Virginia, you are allowed to cook a steak…gasp!…indoors. That is all.

Lastnight the anxiously-awaited dinner at Zaytinya finally took place. It was downright wonderful to meet JDH’s Famous Mum, with whom I’d chatted on the phone often throughout my nine years at The Firm, and who steered my mom and I toward a wonderful restaurant in Notting Hill when we visited London, lo those many years [...]

*cross-posted from dc.metblogs.com Today we got the sad news that Ben Ali, founder of DC institution Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street, passed away Wednesday night of congestive heart failure. Ben and his wife Virginia opened the restaurant in 1958 and it quickly became a fixture. Its casual atmosphere and unforgettable chili half-smokes have been [...]

I love Restaurant Week! My former coworker GW doesn’t mess around when it comes to his food, so each time RW is announced he is right on top of reminding everyone and we organize an outing, usually composed of employees and ex-employees of The Firm. It’s a nice excuse for me to go over and [...]

Yummo! I just made a delicious homemade pizza based on the recipe at thesimpledollar.com. All the ingredients were available in my pantry, and it was quick and easy. My crust was less than perfect, but not bad for a first try. It was a bit uneven in thickness, but really tasty. I made it with [...]

I love pizza. It is my favorite food. My favorite: Four Brothers, Rhinebeck, NY. Also really great Greek salads there. Best part of Thanksgiving weekend! (besides the pumpkin pie) Patsy’s under the bridge is the best non 4-bros pizza I have ever had. Various Manhattan pizza stands provide good slices when one is hungry from [...]
Food, Oil, and the car of the future?

Interesting FT article. What seems missing from the list of items that might contribute to rising food prices, however, is, in fact, “higher oil prices”. How much of the cost of food at the consumer level is driven by the fact that it must be transported, at higher rates? That tractors and combines, etc., are [...]
Something to Start With

What’s your favorite appetizer to order at a restaurant? I like the seared ahi at Gordon Biersch; taquitos at Austin Grill; any sort of a potato-based item like soup, skins, or cakes; and boy do those moules at Les Halles smell fantastic (even though I am allergic).
