Breakfast In the Neighborhood
Most mornings, breakfast is what gets me out of bed. French toast, oatmeal, scones, you name, it I like it. So of course I am always on the lookout for a good breakfast joint. You know, a place that serves a whole bunch of tasty morning treats, has distinct character and brews a ...
Local Brews, Corn Pasta and a Chill Atmosphere
Let's get one thing straight. I don't consider myself a foodie. I love food and I like trying new food. But you will never find me analyzing what I just ate down to the most minute detail? I think it ruins food. I do however consider myself a bar-ie or a ...
Eating Raw In Spokane
I think sushi is an acquired taste, kind of like squid, only much easier to acquire. The weird thing about my sushi transformation is that I've always liked fish, it's just the thought of raw fish made me queasy . . . or maybe it was the texture? It really doesn't matter which ...
Bennidito’s v. David’s – The Great Spokane Pizza Debate
Here's a random fact that you may or may not want to use to impress the opposite sex: There are nearly 70,000 pizzerias in the United States. To be completely honest, I thought that number might be bigger. Of course my view of that number is skewed by the inordinate ...
Just Ask For Dan . . .

Garlic fest part deux...
Darn it. Once again I had to slog my way through a great and garlicky meal out. The occasion? My daughter's birthday. The place? Europa Restaurant in downtown Spokane. Now Europa has always been one of my faves for their delicious homestyle meals ...
Happy Hour Makes Me Happy
For me, happy hour is a lifesaver. It's a way to be social, but not blow the bank. And it's a way to check out the new digs on the scene without committing to a whole night out. In a way happy hour is like speed dating. Stay with me now, I can explain. But ...
Dry Fly Hooks International Awards and Recognition
The votes have been cast. The ballots have been counted. The results are in. Dry Fly is the best! And it's no longer just me saying that because I'm locally biased.
Over this past weekend, March 21 & 22 to be exact, Dry Fly Distillery put their Vodka up ...
On garlic breath and vampires...
I admit it. I've always had a strange fascination with vampires. One just has to think about the totally HOT movie Draculas of the past, from those old school blood suckers like Bela Lugosi and Jack Palance... to Brad Pitt and the mysterious Gary ...
Que Syrah Syrah...
Okay, I admit it. Sometimes I'm a bit snobby about wine. I've never been a fan of Syrah, relegating it to the elementary education level of learning to enjoy red wine. Frankly, I say to myself, it's for sissies... the drinkable posterchild for wineaux who can't handle ...
