If you’re in the NYC area, please come and see (hear?) me read a few stories. I somehow ended up on the same bill as Michael Kupperman. I’m not sure how that happened, but I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. And other cliches.

jlesleyfeezberg: On the outside, Idaville looked like a quiet American town. White picket fences stood in lawns, parks filled every neighborhood, and lemonade stands popped up on street corners with the regularity of an old man who has eaten a ton of prunes.

A Food Blog? Why Now? In This Economy?
onedishwithdaniel: Allow me to introduce myself, and this site with a fun story.  It will be fun like a trip to the Ocean City Boardwalk, not “fun” like a pant suit.  I was in Portland, Oregon a few weeks ago visiting my brother Dave, a chef at Tasty N Sons, the Willamette Week’s restaurant of the year .  He looks just like me, which is disconcerting because we both have huge heads and it is...
