June 20, 2018 mgardiner

The first “football” match was supposedly contested after a battle between Anglo-Saxon and Danish tribes using the severed head of the losing tribe’s King for a “ball.” While Andres Escobar paid a similar price for his own goal against the United States in 1994, things have … [Read more...]

¡Latin Food Fest!: Thinking Outside the Taco

April 12, 2017 mgardiner

Sometimes we in San Diego find it tough to think outside the taco. Mexican food is all around us. We’re proud of our fish tacos, burritos and carne asada fries. Leaving aside the question of whether some of those even are Mexican food, the Latin food world is bigger than that. In … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: It’s not all about the beef at Brazil by the Bay

March 28, 2017 mgardiner

North of the Rio Grande River, Brazilian food’s reputation is all about the beef. You can blame chains like Fogo de Chão for that. Who wouldn’t want all-you-can eat premium meats carved tableside? But all Brazilian food isn’t just churrascaria anymore than all American food is … [Read more...]

NEWS: Martín San Román — The very picture of the modern Mexican Chef

August 2, 2016 mgardiner

WORLD FARE: Fogo de Chão is the opposite of vegan

October 23, 2013 MAG 2 Comments
