WORLD FARE: Lobster West rolls a different way

December 6, 2017 mgardiner

"Authenticity” is a word some foodies love. It’s the magic juice that lends weight to opinion and gives prejudice the power of authority. Calling a place “inauthentic” is almost the equivalent of labeling it “worthless.” Is it just? Is it right? Those are questions raised, and … [Read more...]

TRAVEL: Top Dishes From a Long Weekend in Portland

June 8, 2017 mgardiner

    Portland is many things. It is beautiful in summer and it is rainy when not. It is one of America’s – if not the world’s – microbrew capitals. It has made an art form of political correctness in all its glory and much of that which is not glorious. It is … [Read more...]

RECIPE: Pork, Poblano and Corn Tamales Roasted Tomato-Jalapeño Salsa

July 14, 2016 mgardiner

Two weeks ago I wrote in the space about our trip to Sedona and the best restaurant in town, the Elote Café. Last week I wrote about my version one of the better dishes we tried there, the dish for which the place is named: elotes (sweet corn). But the best dish we had at the … [Read more...]
