The Strangest Dessert is in Texas

There are not many desserts that I won't eat...and enjoy thoroughly. A tiny bit of something sweet is the perfect finale to every meal. I even keep semi-sweet chocolate baking chips in my freezer, for a quick fix. After having foie gras at Feast Restaurant  in San Antonio, Texas, we [...]

A Stinky Pig & Fried Pickles in Texas

My next mission, after seeing the Alamo at night, was going to Esquire Tavern on the San Antonio Riverwalk for deep-fried pickles. I had heard about the "frickle", but had never partook. It was time to change that. Though I went to this establishment solely for the dill delicacy, what [...]

Octopus on a Stick? Why not.

I like a lot of things on a stick; suckers with tootsie roll centers, the old-school creamsicles from the ice cream truck and even those little cake pops at Starbucks. However, I do draw the line at corn dogs from Hot Dog on a Stick. I could never get past watching the poor girls pump out lemonade [...]

Booze, BBQ & a Showdown at Seghesio Winery

A special invite to Seghesio's 8th Annual BBQ was a welcomed excuse to play hooky from work, get buzzed mid-afternoon and not have to explain the shameful amounts of sauce dripping down my fingertips. At one point, I literally was looking down at the barbecue rib remnants on my upper [...]

25 Mispronounced Foodie Words

Pronunciation can be tricky and many of us can go our whole lives mispronouncing basic words. As I eat my way through the world, I don't want to be the one who is still asking their server for a knee-coise salad and a glass of pee-not nor. Even though I am a restaurateur, I [...]

NIBBLES: Making Cognac Mustard
