A few months ago, I wrote about a bean soup that I made and ate in my Syracuse kitchen. I used canned garbanzo and cannellini beans, whirling them around in a blender to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. It’s a great soup, and while I’ve made [read more ...]
Anthony Bourdain has got a good thing going with his Kitchen Confidential empire. He really filled a void in the food writing cache by exposing the drama, tears and back story of working in a restaurant kitchen. Steve Dublanica then cleverly retaliated with Waiter Rant – which was hilarious despite the disturbing frequency with which [read more ...]
Let’s take another brief reprieve from food for this week’s City Eagle column. Just as I paid tribute to my mama last month, I’ve given my father the print he so deserves.

Know what I love even more than I love risotto? Well, saffron risotto. But even more than saffron risotto, I love sneak previews. Here’s a bit of my column for this week’s Eagle. Wanna read the rest? You’ll have to do one of three things:
