• Thanksgiving Dinner at Borago in Santiago, Chile

  For Thanksgiving this year, we ate stone soup. Oh, and leaves. I guess I should mention the leaves, since there was a plethora of leaves. Nope, I’m not even joking. I guess we did it because we’re totally authentic, old-school Pilgrims. And that’s what the Pilgrims probably ate that first Thanksgiving. (Actually, that first Thanksgiving…

• A Dayquil-Induced Rant Against Pretentious Food Porn Magazines (Mainly, Saveur)

  I was deathly ill last week. I was fairly certain it was the summer plague or typhoid. I’m not sure. My guess was walking pneumonia, but I’ll admit I tend to be a bit dramatic on these issues sometimes. It started with a sore throat, some harmless coughing. Then, over the course of the next…

• Pinxto Paradise: 5 Pinxto Bars in San Sebastian

  

  I love San Sebastian. I fell for it hard on our first trip there in 2012 and I’m still enamored. I legitimately want to buy an apartment there. I’m not exactly in a position to do so just yet but a girl sure can dream. So what do I love about San Sebastian? Oh, just…

• How to Know if You’re a Pretentious Foodie

  I’m at a three day work event where I’m sitting right next to my boss, elbow to elbow, in a basically subterranean bunker with practically no cell phone service. So no personal Twitter, no Web surfing for weird blog fodder, not even texting with XFE. This must be what solitary confinement is like. Oh, plus…

• Food Porn Paris Part Deux: Where the Salt Meets the Caramel

  Sick of hearing me blather and brag about my wonderful weekend in Paris yet? Too bad! You guuuuyyyys, I haven’t even gotten to the best parts yet. Oh wait. I did already write about the shoes, didn’t I? Yeah, those were the best part. But other interesting stuff happened as well, I swear. Just humor…

• Food Porn: No Such Thing as Bad Wine in Paris

  One of the things I was most looking forward to on our Paris trip was eating. Let me rephrase that slightly, one of the things I most look forward to anytime I take a trip is eating. But in Paris, this was especially the case. It’s just such a foodie town. And this trip was…

• Food Porn: Alinea

  So on Friday night a big crew of us went to dinner at Alinea in Chicago. It’s a pretty swanky place. Definitely not your local Shake Shack. And it was good. In fact, the food was pretty great. Visually arresting presentations all the way, backed up by awesome flavors and textures, in a very hip,…
