Last weekend my girlfriend, Sam and I tackled an insane recipe for Chocolate Chip Brownie Pillows. That’s right, it’s a fudge brownie wrapped in a chocolate cookie, or as I termed it, the Turducken of baking.
Before people run out to find the recipe (PS: I think it was an insert in a recent Southern Living [...]

Bourdain comes to DC
Posted in Commentary, Drink, Food on January 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I finally caught up with the recent episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations where he comes to the DC area. Overall I thought it was really good. I thought it dwelled a bit too much on the “spy stuff,” but for reasons some of you probably know, I’ve heard a lot of that material. Though, [...]

Of course, this guy is from Wisconsin…

Its 1pm on a Saturday Afternoon, I am just arising from the couch where I have no doubt been playing video games or watching mindless cooking shows since 10 or 11 and the paralysis hits me —-

Some strange dishes seen at the Olympics

Western reporters have been gleefully reporting some of the strangely translated dishes on offer at restaurants throughout Beijing. Even the official Beijing Olympic website has noted the effort to correct the strange writing.

Kebabs – truly one of the best meals on earth and one quite readily procured here in the DC area, whether in its Lebanese, Turkish, Persian, or Afghan iterations. Here are some of my favorite local places for kebabs:
