Pizza

March 28, 2013

Been a while since I posted about my pizza-making exploits.  I’ve tried two new methods over the last few months, and plan on getting it going again here in the next couple of weeks. First there is the Serious Eats (Kenji) “fool-proof” pan pizza. The dough requires little work. No kneading to speak of, just [...]

Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano

March 5, 2013

Finally made it over to Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano, the second coming from The Apostle of Pizza. It’s next door to his pizza place – Antico. It’s communal, like his pizza place. You order at the counter and wait for your food, like the pizza place. The prices aren’t necessarily low, but the quality of the [...]

Lately – January 2013

January 19, 2013

The holidays were great, but as for so many, there is a little bit of stress due to the intense scheduling of events. A drop-in at this grandparents, dinner at this house, parties with friends – it takes its toll. It’s great to be a homebody sometimes. That’s when I do my best cooking. My [...]

Check it – a few photos from a quick initial visit to La Tagliatella, the huge European chain of Italian food, who decided to enter the U.S. market via Atlanta. The menu is quite big. There are many pasta and sauce variations, many appetizers, salads, calzones, and a page full of pizzas. The foccacia bread [...]

Bocado & STG Trattoria

November 5, 2012

After visiting both of owner Brian Lewis’ restaurant in one week, I figured I would post them together. They are both well established at this point, though both STG Trattoria and Bocado have seen recent change. STG is now serving brunch, and Chef Todd Ginsberg left Bocado to join up with the Johnson’s of West [...]

The Pizza Economy

August 2, 2012

Besha Rodell, former Creative Loafing critic and current perspicacious food writer, now of LA Weekly, sends us a fine pizza piece via internet pigeon. One particular passage stoked an inquiry I recently pondered. Besha writes – There’s a theory about this: The economy sucks, the country is divided along the most preposterous lines, Europe is falling [...]

Deep Fried Pizza

A while back, the folks over in the Food Lab at Serious Eats got my attention, as they so often do, with a salivation-inducing headline – Deep Fried Pizza. The purist in me scoffed. The fatty in me clicked. Fried pizza has been making the rounds in New York over the last year, so it’s bound to [...]

It’s been a few weeks coming, but I finally found some time between travel and work to post on my recent trip to Chicago. The weekend jaunt was just me and some friends – my brother Thomas, my pal Brian, and a few hundred NATO protestors. Yeah, that was going on while we were there. [...]
