Valentine’s Day Roundup
Happy Valentine’s Day! Okay, that’s a bit premature, but there aren’t many shopping days left until you need to be armed with the perfect gift and an even perfect-er meal. If you need some amazing meal ideas, let me say that nothing does better than… (Click the link to find out!)
A Tale of Two Em Chamas
The Only Thing Better Than One Em Chamas …is two Em Chamas. (Quick edit: I just found out Em Chamas is doing a special expanded Valentine’s Day with shrimp, lamb, scallops, and free dessert. Just sayin’.) Okay, I know I’m not exactly breaking any huge news, but there are two Em Chamas in what the […]
How to Boil Pasta
How to Boil Pasta By popular request, here is my treatise, my manifesto as it were, on the art of pasta boiling. By the way, this post assumes dried pasta. Boiling (and making) fresh pasta is a wholly separate critter.
How to Make Brown Butter
How to Make Brown Butter Okay, so in yesterday’s post How to Melt Butter, I talked about the fact that for the next several weeks, I am going to concentrate on going over culinary fundamentals. I really want to cover the basics of cooking, and in doing so, equip all the home cooks out there with […]
How to Melt Butter
Melting Butter Okay, so it’s been a while since I’ve blogged steadily. I apologize.

I had to go back to 75th Street Brewery for another helping of their amazing duck confit salad. Which I […]
Kansas City Restaurant Week Starts in 3 Hours
…Well, that’s not exactly true. In 3 hours, it will be Friday, but technically most of the restaurants featured in this year’s Kansas City Restaurant Week won’t open for business until 11 or so. So, technically, I guess I have to wait a bit no longer. Which is good, because I can’t wait much longer […]
Farm to Market Pannetone
Farm To Market Bread Company Panettone Chef Jasper Mirabile is pretty good at giving challenges. Fortunately, I’ve managed to avoid the worst of his culinary conundrums for some time (which is no doubt his way of admitting that Velvetta fudge was just as awful as it sounds.) Still, if I had any shock when Chef […]
Hell’s Kitchen Winner Chef Holli Ugalde Will Not Be At the Savoy
Hey everyone, I got a text from Chef Holli’s people. Apparently while I was sleeping, it was revealed that Chef Holli won’t be given the position of head chef at the Savoy in London and that there was never was such a position. She was nice enough to give me 30 minutes and give her […]
