Chantrelle’s Adventures on the Wine Route
Day 1 The adventure begins at the Calistoga Inn. I’ve always stayed there in Calistoga because it’s right on the main street so I can stagger back from dinner or the spa easily. It’s got an on-premises brewery so I can stagger without even leaving the hotel and it’s got a fantastic restaurant. It was…

Comfort Me with Apples: More Adventures at the Table Paperback: 320 pages She’s done it again, Ruth Reichl made me laugh outload, moan in delight at the dishes she experiences, and shriek as she eats brains and slugs.

Anthony Bourdain – A Cook’s Tour
Anthony Bourdain Kepler’s Books Menlo Park, CA January 15, 2002, 7:30pm The room filled quickly, Mr. Bourdain being a FoodTV celebrity now, I’m sure word spreads quickly that he’ll be in town.
