Tokyo restaurants tops in Michelin
Nov 17th, 2009 at 4:00PM: Tokyo is the top dining city in the world, according to the latest Michelin Guide.

Paris has only 10 three-star restaurants in the 2010 ...A taste of Seoul, Korea: Three nights
Nov 5th, 2009 at 9:00AM: Korean food is hot! "Spicy" is probably the most prominent flavor in Korean cooking, but it's also a sign of the increasing popularity of Korean cuisine. Everywhere you turn these days, it seems like someone is talking about Korean food, from New York's superstar chef David Chang to the insanely popular Kogi food truck in Los Angeles. But for all the buzz Korean food is getting among eaters, many ...Hotdogs: the Montreal and New York taste test
Oct 21st, 2009 at 8:00AM: It was fun to bring Montreal food insider Katerine Rollet into the world of hotdogs. Her refined palate is more accustomed to the culinary masterpieces she unearths in her home town, and she has the impeccable judgment that a food-illiterate like me can only admire. But, for a moment in New York and a moment farther north, she decided to come down to my level and explore the world of ...Become a chef for a day at the Lodge at Vail
Jul 3rd, 2009 at 8:00AM: Culinarily inept? Well, if you are, you're not alone (and you're in good company ... with me). The Lodge at Vail, a RockResort, has exactly the solution for those of us who believe cooking dinner involves a phone call. The Colorado Cookin' package will make you a chef for a day, as Executive Chef Rahm Fama takes you through the local farmers' market and into the Cucina Rustica restaurant's kitchen ...The Accidental Chef Travels: An Introduction
Jun 30th, 2009 at 3:00PM: This post is the first installment of my culinary travel feature column, "The Accidental Chef Travels". Come join me to discover all that's delicious!
I think the best way to introduce myself is to begin with the basics. I grew up in an unusual family -- part West Virginia hillbilly (we proudly hail from the mountainous coalfields) and part academic, since despite having a few economic and ...Blogger Kendra Bailey Morris
Jun 29th, 2009 at 12:30PM: Where was your photo taken? At the 17th Street Farmer's Market in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia. I'm a produce stand junkie. As soon as market season begins, you can find me sifting through piles of fresh veggies, meats and other locally made delicacies nearly every week. Where do you live now? Richmond, Virginia, where I spend the majority of my days writing, cooking, and planning where to go ...Dine on the Queen's efforts at Tichwell Manor
Jun 25th, 2009 at 8:00AM: The menu at Tichwell Manor has what you'd expect: sea bass, pork loin and sole, among other staples. They are prepared prudently and presented with an aim to impress. The trained eye, however, will find a gem that's not exactly hidden: organic red poll sirloin. The first label will catch the attention of the environmentally engaged, but "red poll" means much more – the former cow on the ...Fill your stomach, save your wallet
Apr 7th, 2009 at 3:00PM: You've heard a lot about cheap flights and amazing hotel rates lately. Well, restaurants are getting into the game, too. Prix fixe meals for between $25 and $40 are being offered at upscale restaurants across the country. Hey, if you're not likely to spend big cash on travel, maybe you can splurge a little on a great local meal. The restaurants are suffering just as much as the hotels and ...The new face of army food
Jan 11th, 2009 at 5:00PM: The U.S. Culinary Arts Team ... yes, there is such a thing ... faced an incredible challenge. The team had to cook 150 three-course meals in six hours without the benefit of a real kitchen. The crew had to work "in the field" – as the army calls being away from the plumbing, walls and heat of the barracks – which is never an easy task. The IKA/Culinary Olympics, which occurred back in ...The most expensive delicacies in Moscow and where to find them
_thumbnail.jpg)
Jan 9th, 2008 at 11:00AM: At some point over the last decade, Moscow magically transformed from a city of terrible restaurants and horrific food to a gourmet capital rivaling Paris and New York for pure culinary opulence and high-end extravagance. In fact, just over ten years ago, there were only one or two "ethnic" restaurant in the entire city. Today, every food imaginable is served here, including some of the most ...Montreal: Food, Fun and Shopping

Jul 8th, 2007 at 7:36AM: Montreal continues to intrigue me. This little slice of Europe in North America seems to beckon from so many different travel magazines I crack open. This month, it's Budget Travel.
As a sign of the times, Budget Travel turns to a couple of local Montreal bloggers to introduce its readers to all the best that this city has to offer, broken conveniently down to three categories: Shop, Play, ...
