With spending down and an abysmal economy, it will be interesting to see just how crammed those parking lots will be at 6am. Let’s travel back in time with YouTube, to a more optimistic America, when the […]

Hmmmm… Due to the fact that I live somewhere in the Pleistocene era and have no cable television, I’m about one half season behind.

Autumn Boozy Goodness: It’s a Miracle!
I just came down from flavor tripping and boy is my palate tired. Also, I’m a bit drunk. I wasn’t trying to get a bit drunk, but that’s what happens when you hit the Miracle Fruit. The stuff basically rewires your tongue, erasing your ability to taste sour and bitter flavors for a short period […]

Randal St. Clair Out at 50 Plates
Randal St. Clair confirmed to the Mercury today that he has been ousted from 50 plates. Apparently it came as quite a surprise given that he not only created the menu but also the recipes for the newish Pearl District American food emporium. To make the whole thing even more confounding, the reviews of 50 […]
