Griffin Market, Local 11 Ten, Distillery, Bonna Bella [Beaufort | Savannah]

December 8, 2012

Last night I returned from a trip to the low country, and realized I need to finish my post from my last trip down that way. A month ago I was working in Columbia, then made my way to Savannah to run the half marathon (1:49 with no training, I’ll take it). I made a […]

Double Zero Napoletana

August 8, 2011

It’s tough out there for a blogger. You visit a restaurant in the opening days, you’re a glory-seeker and the pros roll their eyes at you, especially if you pan the place. Wait a few months, and those writing for a living have already provided their official starred review. It makes me wonder about the […]

Momofuku Pork Buns; The Hard and Easy Way

March 11, 2011

I’ve learned there are two ways two make the Momofuku pork buns. One is time consuming and unrewarding, the other, quick and stress free. I made the buns soon after the cookbook came out, during a full day of frantic Fuku cooking. Trying four new recipes from the cookbook isn’t recommended in one afternoon. There […]

Tom’s Folly

February 9, 2011

Tom’s Folly recently opened up in the space on Howell Mill across from Mr. C’s (my eyes! the smoke, oh Lord by eyes!). It used to be Khima, a Moroccan restaurant with a friendly owner and pretty good food, but it just never caught on. Since my first visit to Tom’s Folly, a couple of […]

May 6, 2010

Oh hi there. I see you noticed my box of frozen pork. Let me tell you about it. I picked it up from Emile DeFelice (mysteriously pictured below wearing the white hat), the proprietor of Caw Caw Creek about 40 minutes Southeast of Columbia, SC. Emile raises multiple kinds of heirloom pigs, who happily wander around the […]

Momofuku: Pork Belly Ssäm

April 27, 2010

Just like every tong-totin’ American, I recently picked up a copy of the Momofuku cookbook. I read it as soon as I got it, but quickly realized this was going to be a cookbook where I’d really have to dig in. It was a few months before I actually put it to use, because I was still […]

Fried Pork Belly Confit Taco

March 12, 2010

My post on the pork belly confit from the Ad Hoc at Home cookbook is far and away my most viewed post of the last four months, having almost three thousand page views. I think most of it has to do with the excellent photography by Broderick, but I think part of it is because […]

Ad Hoc at Home: Pork Belly Confit

October 29, 2009

Part of the reason I put the Land of Plenty series to bed is because last week I received a bevy of new cookbooks, among them, the highly anticipated cookbook from Thomas Keller – Ad Hoc at Home. There’s been a lot of press surrounding this book launch, so there’s a good chance you’ve heard […]
