My friend Matt Gross, who happens to be the Frugal Traveler for the New York Times, gets to go to a lot of pretty amazing places in the line of duty, and has as impressive a palate as any I've ever seen. (And one of the oft-repeated stories in my family Read More...

I remember when I first got "clued in" to the practice of when restaurants serve you snacks or nibbles and then unbeknownst to you charges you for them. I was in Brazil with my parents, probably 14 at the time, and most definitely miserable for some reason Read More...

There may be prettier towns in America but Santa Fe is probably the best smelling one. All the smoking kivas, burning pinon, send out a woody, perfumed scent, something an aromatherapist couldn't top, and in the evening the whole town smells like an open Read More...

In these cautious times, entrees have become serious, subdued things that want to fill you up. The best part of many menus are either the appetizers, which let the chef flaunt some real creativity, or the desserts, just because they're dessert. But desserts Read More...

I'm heading to Disney World at the end of this week to appear at the 13th Annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. My coauthor, Tracey Seaman, and I will be doing cooking demonstrations and signing our book, Real Food for Healthy Kids (if you're Read More...

Hotel restaurants used to be relentlessly depressing places. Even when they got all dressed up they had a slumped, Death of a Salesman feel about them. That's because they mostly attracted the hotel guests who were too drunk, stoned, or tired to step Read More...

Blogging about travel can seem a little gauche these queasy days, when even the rich may have to forgo Babbo for burgers, and when hopping trains with a hobo bag is the only kind of traveling a lot of us can envision. And for the majority of people who Read More...

Last month, I went to Chicago for a few days, and many of you were kind enough to recommend places to hit while I was there. Unfortunately, I ended up being a lot more busy than I expected, so I didn't hit even a good fraction of the places I'd hoped Read More...

Perhaps more properly entitled Eats of California's Central Coast With a Couple L.A. Eats Thrown In. When we last left our engorged hero, he was wandering the Land of the Retroactive Turn Signal, and had eaten his way through pot roast in Long Beach, Read More...

Liver has never been a crowd-pleaser. It's usually too liverish for mass appeal. Or too controversial (as in foie gras a.k.a. duck or goose liver). But recently it's popped up on menus around the country as if it's the sexiest, coolest, most obvious thing Read More...

I was in the Los Angeles area recently, as I mentioned I would be, and ate my way through town, it seems. I've always been pretty open about my fondness for In-N-Out Burger, so naturally I made sure to grab some after wading through traffic on the 405 Read More...

As I've mentioned before, a few weeks ago I went to Fire Island and stayed at a friend's place right off the beach. I was working most of the time, so I didn't get a tan, or actually get to go to the beach, really, but I did come to a couple conclusions Read More...

One of the nicest things about being back in the Midwest for the summer has been the chance to rediscover something I already knew: The great American culinary revolution has spread far beyond the coasts. And in some ways it never really had to spread. Read More...

As I've mentioned before, I'm planning on eating and drinking my way through southern California for a couple weeks starting in a few days. One thing we've settled on is spending a couple days traveling the Central Coast's wine country. I've got a tentative Read More...
