cuisine

From street-food to fine dining, traditional Italian to Asian-Fusion, being well-versed in global cuisine is the first step to culinary mastery.

Spotlight on C's Deli
For the students of the Falcon Playhouse--the theatre program at Scripps Ranch High School--the full theatre experience is more than tech rehearsals and performances.

For This Special Occasion I Took My Daughter to Dinner at the White House
After my kids dad died, one of the very best decisions I made was to institute “Date Nights.” Once a month each child scored one-on-one time with mom and we explored many low budget fun ways to enjoy each other’s company. Once in a while, usually upon reaching a milestone or having something special to celebrate, we would splurge and exceed our standard $10 budget.

Making Memories
Choosing to eat at a restaurant is never just about the meal. It is about making memories and visiting with our friends. As one of Google’s top local reviewers, I go to several San Diego area restaurants, where I amuse all my friends by taking pictures of their dishes before they eat.

Tiramisu
The DelBello family is, quite literally, from the old country, namely the Jewish ghetto of Rome. There's big, jolly papa Shawn, with his deadpan humor and romantic accent, whose cuisine makes people groan and roll their eyes with joy. Sweet little Ana, wife of Shawn, takes care of the customers, two cute and very American kids and a huge brindle mastiff named Trump, all with quiet, smiling serentity.

Nhật
It’s called Nhật. It means one or most in Vietnamese. A fitting name for it is truly the most delicious pho you will ever experience in your life. All others shrink in comparison. If you ever find yourself in Mesa, Arizona, seek it out. It’s so divine that even on 117 degree days during the unrelenting southwest summer months, the cravings for the steaming hot soup will compel you out of your air conditioned dwelling to devour the succulent golden nectar. Cumulatively over the years, I have handed over whole paychecks to this place. I say this with no hyperbole.

The Cove Cafe Restaurant & Grill
The pandemic, lockdown and all our favourite eateries are on a Takeout basis only. No sitting in a comfy homey locale enjoying an appetizer followed by a scrumptious entree and finished off with a sweet desert. Cooking became the daily grind. No relief, even in this quaint ‘adult lifestyle’ community. Then The Cove Café & Grill stepped in and up.

The Café
It seems to always be the most non-descript places that are the best. This emerald in the rough is a slice of the best things from Earth. When a restaurant becomes a local hangout in a tourist town, you know they have it going on. The Café on Southard is hands down my favorite restaurant in all Key West. It is not the most expensive nor the most marketed. Yet, they do so many things the best way.

From Thailand to Plattsmouth
In the heart of the Great Plains, nestled in bluffs overlooking the Missouri River, is Sisters Cafe. A pair of butterflies brandishing the colors of Thailand and Germany rest on a sign dangling above Main Street, a wonderful place where you can get a German beer and a glass of Thai Tea.

Marakesh
Tucked away down a narrow side alley just off the bustling South Street, Marakesh has an unassuming front entrance. You have to knock on the heavy oak door for admission, and it feels like you are entering your own personal Narnia as you pass through the heavy drapes and enter the restaurant.

Can I Have Cheesy Chips Please?
I blame weekends and sunshine. Those two things combined in a heavenly format mean only one thing - oh yes, burgers cooking on a grill, sausages sizzling and the divine aroma of chips.

When the Food Is So Good My Characters Eat It.
So, I wasn't going to do this challenge, I'm certainly no foodie. Then again, I've been craving royal blue hash from my favourite breakie spot for the last couple of weeks.

Dine Out Dates
Dine Out Dates This happened back in the days when dating someone occurred face to face, you found special places to be together, ventured far from the maddening crowds. Sat quietly and partook of wine, occasional glass of Merlot, and food, exchanged small talk across a table. Before on-line-ville, drug addled dance parties, dating sites and being told to …get a room. Not so long ago I decide to ask the man I’d been part of this scene with, several decade ago, what he remembered.
