I Hate Dates, But …
… here are five places I really, really want to go on a date, like, now. Could be a friend date, I don’t care. Monger’s moved into Vino Vino‘s old space (next to my gym!) and I want to get oysters + champagne STAT. Josephine House has a three-course steak + frites night with bottomless…
I Am a Domestic Goddess*
*This is not at all true However! My Imperfect Foods box has made me feel like a domestic goddess because it has expanded what I’m cooking with its delicious products, not just produce. Behold, mahi mahi with carrot greens pesto over sauteed chard and kale: WTF is carrot greens pesto? Idk, I literally had to…
The New Neighborhood Spot
“I wish we had a neighborhood spot. Where we could just always go, and it would always be good, and it’s good there or to-go …” … and then we walked into Spread & Co on a lazy Saturday afternoon and our wishes were granted. The space is warm, inviting, and a bit like if…

Set it the night before and wake up to brewing (or brewed) coffee. Add very generous splash of Picnik creamer in Texas Humor mug. Add WellPath Renew collagen. Stir. Get addicted. Notes…
Austin: Real Ale + Stella Public House Beer Dinner January 17
This is how this blog began so many years ago: me posting cool events (most free; this one isn’t) in Austin because I felt like no one else knew what was going on. These days, I don’t feel very plugged-in to the restaurant scene, nor do I think I really want to start posting events…
Decadent Peanut Butter Protein Chocolate No-Bake Bars
OK, so I told you I deleted this post in the Blog Posts I Never Wrote post, but I didn’t, because I found the photo I had taken and I didn’t want to waste that. So, resurrected (because nothing ever dies in this digital world) this post from Nov 3, 2014, and then realized this…
Art of Broth & French Onion Soup at Denver Chop House
Are there any foods you just go crazy for, from one specific place? French Onion soup from DIA’s Denver Chop House in Terminal A is mine. Sure, it’s great French Onion soup (seriously, go try it. No one yet has been disappointed by this recommendation). But as food so often carries so much sentimental value,…
