    Odd Pair: What Wine to Serve with Frito Pie?

    There is perhaps no dish that inspires connoisseurship among Texans as much as Frito Pie.

    Brew Blog: Samuel Smith's Yorkshire Stingo, With Bonus Peeing-in-a-Bottle Story

    This bottle will never contain anything but beer. ​I believe I've mentioned my parents' somewhat progressive stance on alcohol consumption.

    Odd Pair: Fried Chicken, Buttermilk Waffles, and Pinot Blanc

    ​Yes, I admit that this is more of an "odd trio" than "odd pair," but technically speaking, chicken and waffles is a singular dish and therefore qualifies in my opinion.

    Breakfast at Brasil: Eggs El Salvador

    ​I know that this will not sit well with many Montrose-dwelling diners, but I don't really like Brasil, at least not for the food. Sure, it's a great place to go hang out over a cup of coffee or a beer, relaxing on the patio and watching the Montrosian wildlife walk by, caught in their timele ... More >>

    Five French Foods That Aren't French

    "We are not French! Don't you see the glass of Stella Artois in the background?"​In honor of Bastille Day, many an American will be chowing down on greasy French fries tonight, using the excuse of "Hey, it's French independence day" as an excuse to gorge on the tasty fried potatoes.

    Wine of the Week: Now & Zen Wasabi White (2007)

    Photo by pberry​Bargain buys are to me what crack is to...someone addicted to crack. So when I find a decent looking wine that's not raspberry flavored or bright blue in color for under $5 sitting in a lonely shopping cart in the middle of Foodarama, I will buy it. All in the name of blogging, ... More >>

    Wine of the Week: Trimbach Riesling

    ​Spring is here. And that means one thing: White wine is back. As the days get longer and warmer, we find ourselves drinking more white than red. Of course, there are always exceptions. But for the most part, we like to sit outside and soak up the sun with our chilled glass of white wine. No ... More >>
