Happy September, food folks! This month is going to be full of food and restaurant events with new food, new menu items, new places to get them and new ways to get there. 
It was a crazy week here for us. The Man and I stuffed about 20 pounds of sausage on our first foray into the craft. [...]

This fall, 13 Gypsies will be rolling out several new menu items that I was lucky enough to get a sample of not too long ago. Chef Howard Kirk invited a few of us to stop by and check them out and I have to say, there wasn’t a disappointment in the bunch. There isn’t a [...]

A few nights ago, my KitchenAid mixer bit the dust. The Man was making sausage and when he got to the mixing stage using the paddle attachment the poor old girl just kicked off. Little did I know that my reaction would be noticed by KitchenAid.

Of course, I had to mention it on Facebook. I have [...]

Yoshi Sushi has opened in the former Fu Hao space on the corner of Park and Post in Five Points. I am hearing that the menu is virtually unchanged from the Fu Hao offerings – [...]

The problem with potato salad is that most people don’t use a recipe. (Myself included.) They have a vague idea what their Mama did and what their Granny did, then they add their own flair with a squirt of this and a dollop of that. I had a system down until I got the bright [...]

August is upon us, my foodie companions, so let’s take a look at what great food you can plan for in the month ahead!
One of the best things about August on the First Coast is Eat Up Downtown. Eat Up is an event organized by Downtown Vision featuring more than 20 restaurants offering 3-course prix fixe menus [...]

Is there anyone left in Jacksonville this week? It seems everyone I know has packed up and gone on vacation. It would be a shame to leave Jacksonville this week because there is so much happening in food news that I barely know where to start.
When in doubt, we’ll start with that buzzing sound. ‘town is [...]

What follows is a love/Dear John letter to Gordon Ramsay. No scallops were harmed in the production of this article.

Dear Gordon Ramsay:
I want to love you – really I do. Nothing is more beautiful than the simplicity and strength of the recipes you give on The F-Word. (Especially that part at the end when you say… [...]

Jacksonville will soon be home to the first location of a California Pizza Kitchen restaurant in Northeast Florida. It will be located in the St. Johns Town Center at the roundabout near Barnes & Noble and will open for business on July 12, 2010.

CPK’s Chipotle Chicken Pizza

California Pizza Kitchen’s full-service menu will include hearth-baked pizzas, [...]

Tim Hortons coffee shops are not a novelty to most Canadians. These shops are ubiquitous throughout many provinces. They are a Canadian version of an unholy union between Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and a neighborhood light snack shop. The results are simply pleasurable. The coffee is good and cheap (less than $2 Canadian for most varieties). There [...]
