We’re in Toronto this weekend and last night ventured down to Roncesvalles Ave (the Polish neighborhood – I felt so at home!). We ate at a little spot called Buddah Dog, where they specialize in hot dogs. Yes, you heard me. And these are not some sloppy dogs boiled in questionable water, oh no sir-ee. [...]

Who visits Montreal in January?
Posted in Food and Entertaining, Friends, Restaurant, Travel on January 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, we did. We just got back from a fantastic trip to Montreal, and despite a surge of super-cold weather near the end, it was a perfectly lovely weekend. Though we were there to see the sights with friends and had a 15-month old in tow, we managed to eat our way through the city [...]
Feta is Good

feta and salami Originally uploaded by brennifer Feta is good. Really good. And it’s harder to get here than you might think. The cheese counter at Byerly’s let me down a little, with no fresh feta on hand. So prepackaged it is…until I can find someone who sells it out of the big smelly barrels [...]

Preparing Kabobs Originally uploaded by brennifer We just got back from a fabulous trip to the Greek Island of Corfu – and aside from the wonderful, relaxing, exciting experiences of the vacation, we also ate some seriously good food.

Last week we were in Las Vegas with friends, and for a special treat we booked into Bouchon at the Venetian, the Thomas Keller property in Sin City. It was a truly great meal, due in large part to the warm, beautiful setting (classic bistro setting that took me instantly back to my last visit [...]

A few weeks ago, we went camping with some friends. This was high-comfort camping, the kind where you drive in, so not really roughing it all that much. We had a lovely group campground at William O’Brien State Park just north of Stillwater, and we had a great time. Our friend Jess was in charge [...]

A View of the Mississippi RIver from the Guthrie Theater Originally uploaded by brennifer. The new Guthrie Theater has bars on just about every level, including one just before you go out on the cantilever bridge to overlook the Mississippi. The view was great, but even better with a glass of pinot gris.

My company sent me to a marketing conference in New Orleans this week, and I was happy to enjoy the fabulous food and drink provided by the conference hosts and the city at large. I hadn’t been back since Katrina, and though I had limited time to venture out of the hotel (and I didn’t [...]
Why Savoir Flair?
Posted in Food and Entertaining, Recipes, Restaurant, Travel on February 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
sa·voir-faire [sav-wahr-fair] noun. knowledge of just what to do in any situation. So THAT’S a tall order. But I like the idea that every situation deserves its own possibilities, and that’s why I started this blog. It’s more than just knowing which fork to use on which course – sometimes, its about not using the [...]
