I love love love LOVE spicy omelets and don’t understand why eggs-for-dinner isn’t a bigger thing in America. I eat them more for dinner than I do for breakfast. I microdose weed during the day for chronic pain (got hit by a car a few years back and ain’t going anywhere near opiates), but sometimes it’s fun to go a… Read more

One of the world’s most perfect sandwiches is Muenster cheese on toast with a beautiful summer tomato and Duke’s mayo. Read more

You’re going to burn in hell for that, Dead Elvis.  Read more

That hot dog jambalaya was a cookbook reprint. I had nothing to do with it! Read more

You can add whatever you damn well please! It’s your sandwich, and it should play by your rules.  Read more

You can use any damn cheese you like, and I can personally attest it goes extremely well with Skywalker.  Read more

I believe it’s called a “personal brand.” Read more

I love Chinotto! I’ve gotten all my stuff shipped to me, because a lot of stores haven’t exactly gotten on the zero-proof bandwagon, and it’s my only option. Even though I’m in Baltimore, I’ve gotten deliveries from Chicago’s Foxtrot Market, which carries a nice array of non-alcoholic drinks:

Thank you for appreciating how hard my job truly is.  Read more

May I point you to my review of the Breakfast Baconator:

I live in Baltimore, don’t have a car, am not in walking distance of a Wendy’s, and have an immunocompromised husband. Even if I had a car I’d still be reviewing it the way I did, because currently, this is how the majority of people have access to restaurant food, and they don’t have the benefit of being a food writer… Read more

I’m a Steak-umms gal myself.

It can be really good, provided it’s the only cheese in the equation. Garlic herb Boursin is great on a grilled chicken sandwich! Read more

It’s like the person who designed them has never eaten a salad! Read more

I’d spent my whole life hearing about how great Chick-fil-A’s sandwiches were, and didn’t get to eat one til I was 36. (I grew up in Brooklyn, so I didn’t even see a Chick-fil-A til I was 36.) I was very unimpressed, but I’m not sure if that was because it had been overhyped, or it genuinely wasn’t great. I DO know,… Read more

In my first LaV I spotlighted Recess, which had turned me on to more hemp and CBD beverages. I don’t care about any of the perceived wellness benefits, but I do love the hell out of the bitterness.  Read more

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to a restaurant, party, or other event, and the only thing I was offered to drink was mixers. There has also been multiple times when I was told I could not have any mixers, because they were reserved for the alcoholic beverages, and given a cup of ice. Not ice water—just ice. Read more

It’s just like any other food or drink—there’s no way to perfectly replicate what it’s trying to imitate, because, well, it’s not that thing. Everything should be judged on its own merits! But if there’s a specific alcoholic cocktail you desperately miss and want to recreate, even if it’s a pale imitation of the… Read more

Have they learned NOTHING from Eros or Ilus?!

I thought this was Naomi’s best season, because they gave her so much weighty material to work with, while Holden finally got to stand pat in the background. I’m just bummed the Rosi crew wasn’t together this season, and that we didn’t get nearly enough Bobbie Draper.  Read more
