Food for Thought: Sweet Home Café Cookbook
I was excited, but also disappointed, when I visited Sweet Home Café inside the fabulous Museum of African-American History in Washington, D.C. The buttermilk fried chicken was moist inside, crunchy outside as it’s supposed to be. Collards, potato salad, cole … Continue reading
Recipe: Grilled Artichokes
I dislike the experience of dipping cold, tasteless artichoke leaves in mayo or butter, just to get the nugget of meat at the end. This grilled artichokes recipe is a vast improvement. Every inch is soaked in flavor so you’ll … Continue reading

Breakfast Cheeseburgers, aka Cheeseburgers for Breakfast
When I was in college they would serve burgers in our (pretty awful) dining hall on Saturday at lunchtime. I would make up several extras and squirrel them away in my dorm room (my roommate loved this) and enjoy throughout … Continue reading
Let’s just put oregano on everything!
If you order the magnificent Italian Mix sub at Roma Imports in Saratoga Springs, the last thing they’ll do is shake on some dried oregano. Likewise with the surprisingly good #2 regular ordered “Mike’s Way” at the Jersey Mike’s chain. … Continue reading
Rating Chicago airport hot dogs
[See UPDATE at the end.] Chicago takes its hot dogs seriously. This includes the Chicago airport hot dogs served to travelers at O’Hare and Midway who never get on the L and see the city first hand. I usually connect … Continue reading
