Tortilla

June 17, 2015

My father had surgery on both feet last week, so he’s laid up and generous friends have been dropping off food to make life a bit easier. Our friends Alba and Javi, who relocated from Barcelona to Greenville a few years ago, dropped off this beautiful tortilla, a Spanish omelet of potato and onion and egg. […]

General Muir Sandwiches

October 28, 2014

The sandwiches at The General Muir are what I’m currently craving, so here are photos so you may endure the hunger torture I’m dealing with at the moment. I love a breakfast sandwich. The General Muir’s pastrami and egg sandwich is just so frickin’ satisfying – it’s the tops for me. Thick, spicy pastrami, a dripping soft egg, and oozing excess of American […]

Lusca Lunch

October 4, 2014

Lusca has been open for lunch for a month or so now in South Buckhead, and was my recent pick for a guy-guy date lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed it, though it’s too expensive for regular lunch visits. With a glass of wine, splitting three dishes and a vegetable side, it was about $45 for my share of it. […]

Tomato Dishes

August 11, 2014

We are in the primetime for tomatoes, and every summer I get all anxious that I’m not taking advantage. I mean, I probably only have forty good tomato seasons in my lifetime. When I was a kid I didn’t appreciate it. Then later in life in our Matrix Reloaded sub-terrain world I will be old […]

Porchetta. Pasta. Duck. Beans. Seamless Ravioli.

November 1, 2012

Dude and I cooked a meal. I bought a pork shoulder and whole belly from Riverview Farms. Above, in perhaps my manliest photo ever (note – blow torch, chef’s knife, hack saw, and beer bottle), I butchered the shoulder. He/she will never dance again. Dude’s kids were appalled.

The Owl [Greenville, SC]

“Under sell and over deliver.” It’s a maxim I enjoy, and try to abide by myself, though admittedly modesty isn’t my strongest attribute. It’s terrific when encountered in the wild – when an experience is greater than hype, the marketing burden of many a contemporary restaurant. Everyone seems to have a PR agency, gossip and […]

More Fun with Sous Vide

February 23, 2012

Quick post – I’ve been on the road for work all week, with little time to blog. Geez, real job getting all in the way and stuff. I’ve been cooking a fair amount lately, including having plenty of fun with my sous vide cooker. I did a beef chuck roast for about 40 hours at […]

Ecco Bar

March 21, 2011

Last week I was stumbling around midtown during a happy hour search for rehearsal dinner venues, and after eating a particularly horrid charcuterie plate at Publik House, I went for a cocktail at Ecco to cleanse the taste of Franco-insulting pâté from the roof of my mouth. After receiving a very fine cocktail called The […]
