I didn’t realize this, but a few Google searches later, it seems that the search for the best maple doughnut in Vermont is akin to that for the best bagel in NYC. I can now officially contribute to the discourse and say that I have found it, at the Big Picture Theater and Cafe in Waitsfield. [...]

Yes, we did the Ben & Jerry’s factory tour. When in Vermont… Our $3, 20-minute tour started in front of these two boards: their economic mission and a wall of flavors. We watched a short video detailing the history of the company, which is no longer owned by Ben and Jerry, and proceeded to an [...]

As part of Columbia Business School’s orientation, Dave and I (along with our friend Maria, the wife of a CBS student in Dave’s class) took a group of incoming students’ spouses and partners out to lunch. We decided on Kyotofu, a place we have been wanting to try for a while. Owned by a friend [...]
LA’s best gelato

After a night in Santa Barbara, we finally arrived in Los Angeles. For our first night there I had made a reservation at Jar, Suzanne Tracht’s chophouse that’s been getting great buzz. Yes, I will admit to being a bit excited by the fact that Tracht was a finalist on Top Chef Masters. We went [...]
So much ice cream
Posted in party, sweets, tagged ice cream on August 7, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My CSA has its annual grill night on Tuesday. I volunteered to make the ice cream. That’s right, ice cream for 100. I filled every single plastic container we had in the apartment. I made eight flavors of ice cream and three of sorbet. Most of my recipes were taken from The Perfect Scoop by [...]
A taste of Saskatoon

Saskatoon. What can I say but you can’t go wrong eating in a town named after a berry. Nancy (a friend from culinary school) and I arrived in Saskatoon on Friday afternoon (Dave was to arrive the next morning). The reason for our trip was the wedding of Lene (who was also in our class), [...]
Themed eats, oven-free feats

Day two in Japan was not as culinarily exciting as the first, but I did get to ride my first 360 degree-loop roller coaster since high school. I dragged Dave to Tokyo Disney Sea, the newest addition to the Disney empire here in Japan. I am a huge fan of Tokyo Disneyland and try to [...]
Snacking, sumo, sweets

Our first full day in Tokyo was a busy and food-filled one. After breakfast we struck out and walked around Shinjuku, the neighborhood where we’re staying. Right by our hotel we found a restaurant specializing in fugu, the deadly — if not properly filleted — pufferfish, considered a delicacy. I don’t think it’s on our list [...]
Crumpets and bao

No trip to Seattle is complete without a stop at the Pike Place Market. While the seafood (and the famous fish guys) get all the publicity… I go to the Pike Place Market for one thing: crumpets. One of my favorite treats in this world, a must-eat on any trip to Seattle, comes from The [...]
Heaven must smell like this

Yesterday I gave myself the morning off from food, drank a lot of herbal tea and took in a yoga class. It was a nice break from all the eating I’ve been doing. Also, I was saving my stomach for dinner at Tilth (more on that later). Before dinner, Braiden and I met Irene for [...]
