03/13/13Veteran Chef Honors the Fundamentals of His ProfessionYou cannot always tell a book by its cover. However, in this case, the unadorned façade of the Hershey Road Family Restaurant betrays the nature of the food that is served within and the people responsible for it. That would be the Levy family, headed by owner and chef Scott Levy. |

02/20/13Washington CrossingThis past Monday was President’s Day and I could think of no better way to honor George Washington than to visit the Fraunces Tavern which is a historic building which was built in 1719, and now resides smack in the middle of New York City’s Financial District. |

02/11/13Delightful Do-OverA Do-Over. That's what I wished for during the last week of January, after long month filled with arctic temperatures, frequent snow and very little sign of spring in sight. I wanted to forget the furnace breakdown at my house over New Year's, mid-month car repairs and a catastrophic sewer line blow out at the end of the month, my failed attempts to go to the gym regularly and eat a more healthy diet. I wanted a reset. And the Chinese New Year provided me that luxury. |

01/21/13Dear AbbeyI'd never seen the show before, but after hearing all the buzz about the start of Downton Abbey's third season, I couldn't help but watch. I quickly became fascinated by the setting, costumes, and lavish dinner scenes... and the food. |

01/14/13What? A Crock?With magazine covers full of headlines like "New Year, New You", I should be writing cheerily about New Year's resolutions, exercise, and healthy food choices. Instead, I just want to hibernate like a bear and sleep until the fresh buds of spring explode. In the interim, I'll play with my crock pot. Posted at 08:36 AM | Permalink | Comments: 1 |

01/02/13Piece of Cake and Cookies Too“Let them eat cake.” Often mis-attributed to Marie Antoinette, this phrase is better turned on the tongue when actually enjoying great confections. |
