Been a while since there’s been a “current events” post here on EIA, mainly because the pizza stuff is so time consuming, but I do have a list of stuff I’ve bookmarked that I think is worth passing along. Let me link barf all over you.

The Glenwood now has a new smoke-free dining room and has also announced a wine bar. More info here on Omnivore.

Tonight at Emory Anne Quatrano of Bacchanalia is lecturing at Emory, the lecture is titled “From Summerland Farm to Bacchanalia’s Table”. If you can’t make it tonight Scott Peacock of Watershed is going to be giving his lecture on March 23, entitled ”Traditions, Tastes, and Biscuits”. $25 buckaroos to attend.

Rouxbe is a website I recently discovered that offers cooking instructional videos. There are also recipes. Everything is well done. Check it out.

Looking for an online store to buy boutique or artisanal food products? Give Foodzie a glance. It has a slick interface and a growing list of products.

Joel is hosting a Rhone wine dinner on March 23, featuring a four course meal with five wines. $105 per person isn’t cheap, but for a dinner at Joel with 5 wines, that doesn’t sound too offensive. More info here.

Comcast shot a quick video at Dynamic Dish for their ondemand lifestyle section, which you can view here. It’s only 3 minutes so even those of you with an attention span like mine can check it out. If you still haven’t gone to DD, please stop emailing me with suggestions on where you should go eat.

Blissful Glutton recently posted that The Porter Beer bar will be offering half price food during the month of March, from the hours of 11:30AM to 3PM. Tons of restaurants offering specials during this kind of economy. Support your local restaurants and take advantage of the deals at the same time. Win, win, win.

Omnivore announced that Woodfire Grill is going to host a beer dinner on March 3 featuring the beers of Duck Rabbit Brewery for $45. I’ve been looking for a reason to head to Woodfire, and I think this might do it. Dirty South Wine just posted about the Woodfire, mentioning their half price wine on Thursdays, but also reiterating how amazing the meals are there.
Anyone else hungry?
