New York Fashion Week + Food: Only the Models Don’t Eat

DINNER WITH AN IRON CHEF OK, so the heading’s misleading–I didn’t exactly dine with an Iron Chef, but I did dine at an Iron Chef’s restaurant during New York Fashion Week. In fact, this particular chef and his Meatpacking District eatery are world-renown. Is the suspense killing you yet? One more hint. Sushi. Yes, I had dinner at the legendary…

Bryan Sikora’s La Fia Opens in Wilmington

photo courtesy of La Fia Veteran chef Bryan Sikora is no stranger to spousal business partnerships. He and ex-wife Aimee Olexy were the brains behind the ‘one-year-waiting-list’ Kennett Square phenom Talula’s Table (named after the couple’s young daughter).

Top Chef Throwdown: Mike Isabella’s Graffiato vs. Spike Mendelsohn’s We, The Pizza

Chefs·Restaurants·Reviews·Travel·Writing

Washington, DC is the home to restaurants belonging to two of Top Chef’s most popular former contestants, Mike Isabella and Spike Mendelsohn, and a recent visit to the chefs’ eateries proved that one may need to pack his knives and go (sorry, I couldn’t resist).

The pair already own Cafe Lift and the always-busting-at-the-seams Prohibition Taproom and, now, along comes their newest venture–a pizza spot called Bufad that sits on a…

MidAtlantic Wine and Food Festival Recap

Chefs·Events·News·Photography·Writing

NY Must-Try: Dinner at The Spotted Pig

Chefs·Restaurants·Reviews·Travel·Writing

The burger and rosemary shoestring fries at The Spotted Pig may be the best meal on Earth. Often times in the restaurant world, descriptors like ‘cramped,’ ‘overcrowded,’ and ‘tight’ sound a death knell for the eatery in question. Throw in excrutiatingly long wait times and a ‘no reservations’ policy and its…

Chefs·Cooking·News·Writing

I hope Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre, Brian Malarkey (what an appropriate surname), and Anthony Bourdain are proud of themselves.
