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…
Ping Pong Dim Sum
No, that headline isn’t just a random assortment of four words. Ping Pong Dim Sum is the name of a dim sum restaurant in Washington, DC, that I tried for the first time this weekend. Though this site isn’t exactly up there with Zagat for restaurant recommendations, I can happily…
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…
Talking Italian
This weekend I had dinner with some good friends at Bistro Italiano, a charming little restaurant in Washington DC’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Why do you care? You probably don’t, but I can use a miniature restaurant review as an excuse for a site update. Tucked away on a street of…
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…
Come Dine With Me
My first dinner interview outside the States is coming next week. While all three of you loyal readers wait anxiously for that article, take a peek at my recently updated travel plans. This year I’ll be visiting Boston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Montreal, Canada. If you live in any…
