Over the summer, the Gastrognome and I were lucky enough to make a short trip out to visit ye ol’ Bay Area. The first stop on our journey, however, was unfortunately nowhere near our final destination. Indeed, there was more potential for us to be stranded in a dank and odious wasteland, struggling desperately against […]

We’ve already established that Jacques Pepin is a boss. And his pimp, Julia Child, kept her pimp-hand strong by letting us all know that, “a well roasted chicken is the sign of a really fine cook.” Shut up baby, I know it! The problem, however, is that I’m notorious for completely messing up every roast […] When you start with quality ingredients, it’s shocking how little is necessary to make something incredible. This heirloom tomato, for example: This requires salt and a mouth in which to stuff it. That is all. And yes, my favorite bamboo cutting block has huge gouges in it.

To a place. Seattle maybe? No wait! You weren’t supposed to know that! Professor will hit me! … Well, the narrator blew it and already told you the destination. And undermined the whole Odyssey thing even more. Yes, I was headed to Seattle, a city already known and discovered by my […] I suspect you feign interest in our heroes at this point, but I don’t actually care. So, here’s more. … I curse this game.
