Food Philosophy #50: Lunch at the U.N.

Food Philosophy #50: Lunch at the U.N.

I recently attended a luncheon in the Delegates Dining Room at the United Nations in New York featuring a festival of tastes from Italy's Piemonte region. Listen in as I speak with Chef Pier Bussetti, who headed up this team of the Stelle del Piemonte -- Piemonte's Star Chefs -- to showcase the region's unique pairing of tradition with ultra-modern sensibility.

I've also had some new ideas about that summer Dating Adventure, and think a dining club would be a helluva lot more fun.

Food Philosophy Videocast #1: The Stinking Rose

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have gone to video. Check out our adventures (that would be me and the Chef called Mark) at The Stinking Rose Restaurant in San Francisco, including the sampling of some deeelicious garlic ice cream!

Food Philosophy #49: The Stinking Rose

Food Philosophy #49: The Stinking Rose

Chef Mark and I headed out to San Francisco for a bit of work and play last week, and we were delighted to share a meal at the world-famous Stinking Rose restaurant. With a menu entirely devoted to garlic, there is no avoiding the delicious fragrance wafting from the restaurant as you pass by; so we didn't pass it by, but stepped inside instead.

You can see our review of The Stinking Rose Restaurant Cookbook at the Gilded Fork, so if you aren't going to be near San Francisco anytime soon, this might get you close enough to scare off some vampires yourself!

We've also kicked off a new challenge called Jennifer's Dating Adventure, which just might make this summer a little more interesting (ok, we get that launching such a thing during a garlic episode may not be the best idea -- work with us here).

P.S. Don't miss the first episode of the Food Philosophy videocast, featuring footage of our jaunt to the Stinking Rose!

Grape-Flavored Lip Gloss

Well, we're now in wine country, so it's off for a day of touring with Chef Mark and Rosina Tinari Wilson, our intrepid wine podcasting correspondent. I've easily morphed into a casual, lazy Saturday mode to prepare myself for sipping, so it should be a lovely day. The morning sun in California is unrivaled, and I always feel soothed by the cool morning air and blue skies here. The rain has disappeared just in time for us to explore Napa and Sonoma, so I'm looking forward to a wonderful day! (Yes, dammit, we'll get audio and video.)

Will My Heart Stay Here?

Chef Mark and I are running amok in San Francisco for meetings with PodShow and other friends of ours, so in the midst of all that we've had the pleasure of sampling various beers, sausages (wild boar...mmmm), and best of all, a dinner at The Stinking Rose (we reviewed the cookbook last year on the Gilded Fork).

The dinner was delish, but I must say that I'm glad no dates were on my schedule for last night!

Now we're off to Napa and Sonoma for the weekend with our dear friend Rosina Tinari Wilson, so stay tuned for more updates!
