Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — I’m not exactly what you’d call a breakfast girl, and I usually say “brunch” is just an excuse to shove down a stack of 25 red velvet pancakes and day drink. If you build it, they will brunch, or something like that. But […]

Phoenix, AZ (The Joy of Food) — By now, everyone’s heard of Franco Pepe, the pizzaiolo making the ‘best pizza in the world’ according to some of the biggest critics, a guy who eschewed the way Neapolitan pizza is supposed to be, did his own thing, and got banned by […]

Osteria Mozza

Los Angeles, CA (The Joy of Food) — I talk about Osteria Mozza the way that some people talk about Jesus, lovingly and like it is the center of my universe. As far as Italian dining goes, this Michelin-starred gem is easily the best that L.A. has to offer. I […]

Thierry Chocolaterie Patisserie Cafe

in Breakfast and Pastry, Carbapalooza, Canada, Vancouver, Comfort, Dessert, Drink, French 4 comments

Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — The older I get, the more I lean toward dark chocolate, and melted bitter dark chocolate can be something like poetry in a cup. At Thierry, an order of ‘liquid chocolate’ is decadent and indulgent, swirled with ribbons of hazelnut, caramel, or coconut […]

Florence, Italy (The Joy of Food) — When I’ve thought about what my last meal on earth would be, something I ponder with alarming regularity, my eternal answer involves dinner at Ristorante Del Fagioli, a traditional trattoria right in the heart of Florence. You eat pretty well in Tuscany, even […]

Los Angeles, CA (The Joy of Food) — Majordōmo’s location in a warehouse district north of downtown L.A. is recognizably Changish, designed to screw with you before you even walk in the door. Spot the peach You’ll undoubtably ask yourself if you’re in the right place as you meander down […]

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — For many flip flop-wearing San Diego tweens born into a life without weather or seasons, a trip to Julian in ‘winter’ is the first time they see snow. A favorite pastime of locals is to drive up to Julian, stop on the […]

Ristorante La Cambusa

Monterosso, Italy (The Joy of Food) — The Amalfi Coast may be the crown jewel of southern Italy, but the Cinque Terre in the northern region of Liguria, also stunning and majestic in their own right, have one huge advantage: there isn’t a Fiat in sight. The five towns are […]

in Florence, Carbapalooza, Comfort, Drink, Italy, Meaty Goodness, The Milky Way, Italian, Vegetarian 6 comments

Florence, Italy (The Joy of Food) — An All’antico Vinaio experience usually comes with a line, thanks to the tourists who pencil in the place right after the Uffizi on their Florence must-see list, the foodies for whom a hefty meat sandwich and some first-rate wine is just as life-changing […]
