On to our last entry for this season’s airing of our man Stan’s tromping about in Italy. In the fifth and sixth episodes he heads to Tuscany and Sicily. All past comments on the show could be repeated here, so I won’t. Let’s go straight to the food. In Tuscany we get our kitchen demo… Read More Two Tuccis #3
As predicted, Argentina is back in lockdown. Not quite as strict as the one 14 months ago now, but still. Restaurants are closed again other than for takeout and delivery (and delivery only between 6pm and 6am, because there’s a curfew for being out and about unless you’re “essential” during those hours). And I know… Read More Hording Pizzas & Plates
We continue our run in Africa, which is just how the alphabetical “randomization” of this project had it turn out. This time, we’re in Chad, the immediate neighbor to the north of our last entry in the Bread & Soup Project, the Central African Republic. What do we need, or want, to know about this… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #37 – Chad
I’m beginning to think we may end up back in lockdown here again. We’re already partially there, with many schools re-closed, restaurants are semi-closed – they can only be open until 7pm for outdoor seating, and after that have to switch to delivery only, and ostensibly after 8pm only essential workers can be on the… Read More Bite Marks #87
This “project” is only going to have three entries this year, since the season of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy only has six episodes and I’m covering two in each post. Episodes 3 & 4, our man Stan travels to Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia, spending much of his time in the major cities of, respectively, Bologna… Read More Two Tuccis #2
We’re once again in Africa, dead center of the continent, in the appropriately named Central African Republic. Yet another country that most of us know little about I’d imagine. It’s a relatively young country, in the sense that until the late 1800s it was not defined by a single border, but various parts of it belonged… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #36 – Central African Republic
In which, I revisit some spots I’ve reviewed in the past, a sort of bumping up to consciousness of spots that are worth your time as the restaurant world scrabbles to recover from 14+ months of pandemic restrictions. And counting…. Let’s start casual. Still one of my favorite burgers in town, ever since declaring it… Read More Bite Re-Marks
Picking up steam, I can feel it… It looks like we have a run of African countries going on here (though, if I hadn’t done Canada out of order, we’d be there right now) with Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, and Chad. I’ll try to keep the posts as varied as the cuisines! So,… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #35 – Cape Verde
