This little piggy had pulled pork.
Do you ever have a craving for pulled pork? Sometimes I do. For Memorial Day I tried my hand at making barbecued pulled pork — cooking slow and low over indirect heat on a grill using a North Carolina-style mop sauce as inspiration and a pork butt roast marinated in...
Voracious anosmiac
There are the super tasters in the world (who are usually super sniffers as well given the correlation between smell and taste) and then there are those like me who can hardly smell a gas leak right in front of them. I’ll never be someone who can smell what type...
Okie Gnocchi!
This week, I lost my head. When I arrived at school for a cooking final, I realized I had forgotten my locker combination, and my uniform was inside the locker; I had to call security to cut the damn thing off. My phone disappeared in the black abyss of my...
Have a little bacon with your pie.
I’ve been following some of the bacon desserts that have been popping up and thought that combining bacon, bourbon and pecan pie would be amazing. It is. Enter ba’can pie. One of the best compliments that I’ve received about this recipe came from a Jewish individual who made an exception...

Zombie appendages
Ok, it was just a really bad week, but not bitten-by-zombies-bad. Last Friday, someone left the oven door open at work — which I did not see — and I charged full steam ahead to put bread in an overhead salamander. My shins hit the oven door and I landed...
Goat to it
Goat’s-milk-ice-cream-with-Scharffen-Berger, where have you been all my life? It ain’t pretty, but tonight I unbuttoned my pants, warmed up a place on the couch and dug into this: a Laloo’s Deep Chocolate ice cream sundae topped with raspberry jam (made from scratch with fresh raspberries by a fellow MATC ACF...
Hail Mary for La Concha Bakery
A long time ago my friend Rich gave me an ultimatum – I must try the tres leches cake at La Concha bakery, which is conveniently not far from my workplace in Fitchburg. It’s a really good sign when you walk in that everything is in Spanish. I stuck out...
Weary Traveller: two thumbs up, minus the tip of one thumb
I went to the Weary Traveler yesterday for brunch: the options were a shittake mushroom and swiss chard frittata, a West of the Andes egg sandwich and their own version of french toast, plus some of the usual offerings. I decided to order the grilled cheese sandwich, served with dressed...
Read my lips…er, blog, Tony Bourdain.
On Thursday Nov 18th, I joined the legions of locavores and foodies to see our dark lord and master Anthony Bourdain. Even though he’s slightly more sentimental and — shall we say, “soft”? — these days post-love, post-baby, his evolution is at least more graceful than Metallica pre-haircut versus post-haircut....
“Full of Bull” rocks my world.
If you haven’t been to Full of Bull on East Washington and Blount, you’re missing something big. Big, juicy, shaved roast beef sandwiches that are stacked high with tender meat (served rare, thank goodness!) in all sorts of delicious versions. It’s by far my new favorite place to go for...
One meal at a time
My very good friend and former roommate from UCLA is fighting right now in Afghanistan. It scares the shit out of me, but last I saw him before he left I could tell his heart was in it and his heart was in the right place. I told him I...
