A sports bar comes back from a dalliance with respectability, and Kenny
and Zuke’s wants to get you drunk and fat.
At a loss for what to order from Sushi Mazi’s large menu? The
grasshopper’s delicious.
This coming weekend marks the beginning of summer and, given the forecast for our region, my mind turns to thoughts of a lovely summer evening in the ballpark. There are so many things that make going to watch a baseball game enjoyable, not the least of which are the promotions meant to get your ass […]
No good has ever come of me posting about Twitter. And I understand why. Twitter is currently the subject of so much slathering media coverage (yes, I am aware that I’m part of the media) that it’s almost impossible to not be cynical about the precious micro-blogging website. I am normally a highly cynical person. […]
One of the best things about being a food editor is that I’m always learning. I love learning. After all, I didn’t spring full grown from James Beard’s forehead. Today I learned about as much as I ever wanted to about producing beer through open fermentation. The impetus for this learning came from this somewhat […]
Five people have been fired from Blitz Bars in an argument that appears to have hinged on an image shift in the once and future sports bars. Televisions have been removed from walls in the bars only to be hastily returned, along with the bars’ signature menu item, totchos, which also disappeared briefly. On Monday […]

I’m excited to see what they’ve produced useing that notoriously difficult open fermentation process. A firkin of their #6 will be tapped tomorrow […]
Tanuki expedites the produce experience and Tiger’s Café marries
falafels with waffles.
The Observatory could use a new star map to find a
strong culinary direction.
I’m not a big breakfast eater. The closest I usually come to the “most important meal” is whatever booze and juice combo I happen to be using to beat back the vengeful screaming remnants of the previous night’s drunk. Then, after a toe curling cup of strong coffee and a few aspirin, I may feel […]
When I was a quasi-hippie, living in the ashram ghettos of Ashland, Oregon, I was turned on to Tom Robbins by a mathematician housemate who’d taken the name Ocean. Between massive bong hits and coughing jags we somehow managed to have an almost lucid conversation in which the book Jitterbug Perfume was cited as crucial […]
A little booze should get them to shut up. I’d love to thank my Mom for so many things, but honestly I wouldn’t know where to start. I will say that she happens to be one of the greatest eccentrics that I know, and that my upbringing under her sometimes-hazy gaze was just about perfect. […]
