In Praise of South Street, the restaurant (in Burbank)
I’m a Philadelphia transplant to Los Angeles, of course. And Philadelphia, my sweet home, has two food cultures, high and low. There is little of note in the middle. If you are in my city with your friends, and you … Continue reading

What I’ve learned from Gordon Ramsay
Maybe you’ve seen the new Fox summer show Hell’s Kitchen – about which the less said the better, except: Gordon Ramsay, the star, is actually an excellent chef. I’ve never eaten his food, but his eponymous resturant in London was … Continue reading

I have invented the world’s best sandwich
Rediscovered, possibly. Anyway, I’ve never had this in a resturant or seen it offered. Call it the Geoffrey. 1. Slice a piece of good baguette lengthwise into two halves. 2. Spread one half with pesto; smush the other half into … Continue reading
