Bordeaux and Dordogne
Well it does sound like you know your way around restaurants in Paris. After many years of trips to France we've come to the conclusion that the best food may be found outside Paris -- in the Dordogne and also in Bordeaux itself. Perhaps a situation where the chefs in Bordeaux either try harder or take more risks --or both. After Bordeaux we head ...

New Research
There is new peer-reviewed, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled research published in The Lancet that found that a mixture of artificial colors and sodium benzoate caused an increase in hyperactive behavior in the general population of 3 year olds and 8-9 year olds. I hope you won't be so dismissive of people who choose not to use food ...

Gourmand =/= gourmet
Lately I've seen a lot of writers use the word ''gourmand'' when they mean ''gourmet''. A gourmand is a big eater; a gourmet is a discriminating eater. And that's the same distinction as the one between an 18-inch stuffed-crust pizza and the Wabash Cannonball in the article. They might both contain the same number of calories, but if you really ...

Used It This Weekend - Great Cookbook
I just used this cookbook this weekend. I love collecting and cooking from all kinds of cookbooks and recently bought this one to add to my collection. This weekend I made my first meal from it, Beouf Bourguignon, Artichauts Au Naturel (Whole Boiled Artichokes) and Sauce Hollandaise (the kind by hand, not using the blender). I started at around ...

Another newbie reporter "discovers" Japan
Your article needs to be linked to from this forum. (On FuckedGaijin.) Go to any big Asian city and you'll see tons of crappy American dining choices. But how can the Japanese stand this?

(The term ''monosodium cyanide'' is a joke....a representation of what chemicals could come to if we're not careful. I'm truly sorry and deeply regret all the time you ...

Food Contamination
Unfortunately, we need to require restaurant manager's to install cameras in every restaurant kitchen in America... anyone caught fouling food should go straight to jail. Stories like this illustrate the sickness of society. Some continue to fight for more leniency for the depraved and perverted even as we move further and further into ...

Another Approach...
Why don't they start from the other end and eliminate farm subsidies for commodity corn that make soda and fast foods so affordable in the first place? By ending the government intervention artificially deflating these prices, we might not need government to artificially inflate them. The effects on public health and on federal coffers would ...
