Back from a long weekend in New Orleans and in desperate need of 1) money, b) the gym and iii) knowledge of whatever happened in the hour after I drank a bucket of frozen mango margarita and quickly turned a little bit simple. While down in the Big Easy, my…
Another Slice Of Pizza
Remember my interview with Michael Wilkinson & Alicia Wilkinson-Mehr, owners of DC-based Pete’s New Have Style Apizza? No? Then I’m just heartbroken! Through my uncontrollable tears I can manage to type a short note to update on Pete’s, a delicious pizza restaurant that started life in the city’s Columbia Heights…
Back From The Big Easy
Back from New Orleans, with a fresh interview in tow. Well, the audio of an interview. Now I have to write the article, a task at odds with my general love of procrastination. More on the interview, and the restaurant where it took place, in a week or so. While…
Where To Dine?
Why do the majority of spam comments on my site center on a debate over the Zune digital music player, or blush-inducing sexual references? Curious. Still, I guess some comments are better than no comments. Some articles on my site get no comments while others get a fair amount, particularly…
Goin’ Back To New Orleans
Next week I’ll be back in New Orleans for an annual long weekend holiday with a few friends. I am sure I will be sober and behave maturely the entire visit. The cliche about it being impossible to find a good restaurant in the Crescent City is almost true. I’ve…
A Whole Lot Of Nothing Going On
More than a fortnight without an update. Whoops! Not much to report in the world of dining interviews, though I hopefully have a couple coming up in Washington, DC and Baltimore in the next few weeks. I’m always looking for people to interview in the DC area, so if the…
Happy Mardi Gras
It’s Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, whatever you want to call it. Back home the last day before Lent is better known as Shrove Tuesday, or more accurately best known as Pancake Day. A day dedicated to pancakes? What could be better? Alas, I won’t get to enjoy my parents’ delicious…
Interview 29: Mr. & Mrs. Lincoln
The newest dinner interview is quite historical. Last month I sat down for a meal with Michael Krebs and Debra Ann Miller. They tour the country impersonating (or “presenting” in official speak) Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd in a 60-minute educational play. Click here to find out more…
Updates With Strangers
A brief post to update on a few strangers. First, local DC politician Bryan Weaver is running in the election for the city’s at-large council seat. Read my dinner interview with Bryan for a rather comprehensive overview of his life story, and find out the reasons why he got involved…
Interview 28: On The Radio
The first dinner interview of 2011 is here, hooray. While I was back in England for a wonderful three-week stint over Christmas and early January, I had the chance to interview BBC radio and television presenter Zeb Soanes. Go crazy with your mouse and click here or on the picture…
