This Fresh Forkin’ Friday is dedicated to Roger Ebert, may he rest in peace. For many of us, far before the Facebook generation, he taught us how to like things with “thumbs up”. For me, when my desire to be a movie writer faded into being a food writer, I lost Ebert for awhile. But I…
F3: Chicken Credit
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I was asked a very serious question … “If the Easter Bunny is a rabbit, why does he bring eggs? Why doesn’t the chicken get any credit?” Too true, young friend of Jake’s, too true. I can’t honestly answer why we don’t honor the chicken who is the real behind-the-scene’s maker of…

Give Maple A Shot
F3: The Only Straw
Last night at dinner in a restaurant, something was wrong. There was a mistake at the table and a dish was cooked differently than I had ordered it. The second I realized it, I alerted the server who whisked the item off the table and apologized. A manager returned with a newly cooked item, made sure everything was cool, and the eating continued on happily….
Now Open: Hello Pizza!
“What this town needs are some more really good slice shops”, so sayeth Ann Kim and I couldn’t agree more. Her Pizzeria Lola opened and created a love-bond with local pizza-philes so don’t be surprised if her new shop Hello Pizza aims to do the same.
Opening last weekend in the former…
F3: Ides
What does one eat for the Ides of March? Caesar salad? Liver with fava beans and a nice chianti? If revenge is a dish best served cold (and raw) maybe a litte steak tartare, carpaccio, or just sushi for the semi-committed. In antiquity, the Roman calendar began with March and the Ides marked a few celebrations….
St. Patty’s Day Mayhem
Be gosh and be gorah, it’s almost the greenest day of the year! Remember last year when it was 70degrees outside? That was insane. Well, because St. Patrick’s Day is on a Sunday this year that means you’ll have the whole weekend to go tent hopping and junk your liver. But the big parade is on Saturday this year, please take note.
F3: Guinness Ice Cream
I have a pal of Irish lineage who was born on St. Patrick’s Day. Goes without saying, he’s had the best birthday parties, ever. One year we hosted it at our house and I threw down some Irish cheddar toasties with corned beef and a bucket load of salt n’ vinegar chips. That year I also…
F3: March Rising
I like this month. It suits me.
