Jason Boso is wearing jeans, a battered SMU hat, and a mechanic’s shirt with the name “Easy” on the name patch. He’s cute. Really cute and he’s at the bar having a beer when I get to Cowboy Chow. The hostess introduces us and he gives me the “hey” head…

Nicola Calamari, 51, executive chef at La Fiorentina, is a quiet man who looks you in the eye when he talks. He doesn’t mince or waste words, but he doesn’t hold back either. What he wants from people is the same consideration. What he expects from food is equally clear…

Jean-Marie Cadot, 43, of the Cadot Restaurant, is like a chef character out of a beautiful French film or novel, dashing and ridiculously well-versed in all things culinary. It’s almost as if he couldn’t have turned out to be anyone or anything else. No wonder. The Cadot family has been…

Rathbun then moved on to work in the kitchens of Mr. B’s in New Orleans, American Restaurant…
When I went to Rio, I became obsessed with drinking Caipirinhas. You can find them in Dallas almost anywhere they have cachaca on hand. But I found a new obsession in St. Kitts, which should be much easier to get, called the Caipiroska. The only difference between the two is…
