Dear Snapple, You produce beverages — allegedly with the best stuff on Earth — with which many are satisfied. Some might say they even crave your drinks. Even 30 Rock has been generous with Snapple’s product placement, with character Cerie going so far as to declare, “I only date guys…
Even the parsley at Arcodoro & Pomodoro is reason for excitement. Rather than garnish a dish with a sprig or a scattering of minced leaves, the kitchen places a few crispy cooked shoots of the herb atop certain dishes. It’s a novel touch—and the slightly salty, slightly oily taste is…
Crab cake is official food of the Preakness Stakes for good reason. Just as the Preakness is the second jewel of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, the simple dish of quality crab meat, and little else, is a crown jewel of Maryland. Thought to be another one of these…

However, when a tea room opens a satellite location that ditches the dainty crumb cakes and instead infuses the environment with live music…

Until this weekend, Roasted had come to associate the Corner Market with two things: food and flowers. For whatever reason–despite the fact that we had ordered flowers, food and coffee on several occasions in the past and despite living in the Lower Greenville area–Roasted just wasn’t in the habit of…
Throw out those 30 Stones getting frost burn in your crisper–a new beer is coming. As Unfair Park just released, 7-Eleven is producing a new “premium” beer called, that’s right everyone, Game Day. We can imagine the commercial now: a mustachioed cross between Tom Selleck and Mike Ditka peruses the…

In a typical bar, it’s not at all uncommon for the drinks to surpass the food in quality. A bartender or mixologist is a true artisan, carefully blending and infusing his potions until he creates a stellar concoction, the best of which will wow his patrons and result in tips…
Good 2 Go Taco at The Green Spot market and gas station in White Rock has been providing inventive takes on the south-of-the-border sandwich for more than seven months. But that hasn’t stopped owners Jeana Johnson and Colleen O’Hare from expanding their horizons. The pair is preparing to roll out…

Barhopping during happy hour is a sacred rite of passage from workday to evening, but Spain’s version of this time-honored tradition just might be better than ours. You see, we have nachos, quesadillas and wings as our standard happy hour fare. In Spain, they have chorizo al vino (sausage sauteed…
Homebrewing is a labor of love, the creative pursuit of some new twist on beer or refinement on a standard style. Few homebrewers expect anything more than a fresh supply of tasty beer and perhaps a nod of approval from friends and family. But for those few who aspire to…
