223 South Elm serves seven in style

By Brian Clarey
Anyone can eat one course, scarfed down over the kitchen sink. And two or three courses… that’s just adding dessert or maybe an appetizer. A four-course meal is a civilized thing, but five courses is just a bit more so. There is no such thing in decent society as a six-course meal.

Village House creates homestyle taste

By Jesse Kiser
A while back while on an assignment, my editor told me about a movement in the world of food. A shift away from fast food. A shift away from the large chain restaurant and more to a place immersed in the local economy. A place that uses as many local products has possible. This idea intrigued me. I thought of down-home local places I was familiar with and one place came to mind: the little white two story house on the corner. Everyone has one in their town: the little restaurant that looks a little rundown on the outside, no just rustic.

Love that chicken from Popeyes

By Brian Clarey
Here’s a dirty little culinary confession: I love fried chicken. Freakin’ love it. Always have. And when I moved to the South 20 years ago (good god) I was introduced to a whole new universe of fried chicken.

Hitchcock pairs with wine dinner

By Brian Clarey
“Okay,” she says, “they’re getting ready to kick everybody out.” “How do they like that?” I ask. She shrugs her shoulders. “We just tell ’em, ‘The movie starts at nine and the seats are reserved.’” There’s only room for about 35 back here on the patio at Sweet Basil’s, the cozy cottage that once housed Café D’Arte, and on Friday nights it fills up fast.

Sugar cakes from back in the day

By Jesse Kiser
The further back into your childhood you get, the more unclear the memories. The ones I have around my single-digit birthdays include only flashes of images I piece together and from which try to make some sense.

Noodle Canoodle: Van Loi Vietnamese is real deal

By Brian Clarey
And it's because of hot dogs. More specifically, Takero Kobayashi, the Japanese competitive eater who this year at Coney Island's famous July 4 th Hot Dog Eating Contest came from behind to tie reigning champion Joey Chestnut after 10 minutes of regulation gorging at 59 hot dogs each.

Fire Makes it Good

Clay oven makes a better pizza

By Brian Clarey
Iro;ve been waiting for Sticks and Stones, Neil Reitzelro;s pizza joint on the corner of Walker Avenue and Elam Street, for years, it seems. And every time I would try to corner Reitzel about the opening date, he would shrug his shoulders and say, ro;Wero;re not really in a big hurry,ro; or words to that effect.

The French art of patisserie

By Jesse Kiser
If you're like me, most mornings begin with a short shower followed by a dash out the door, one arm going in a jacket sleeve and a toothbrush hanging from your mouth. The morning meal, if you even have one, features a run through the drive-thru window for a mocha latté from Starbucks or a sausage biscuit from McDonalds.
