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
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. She travels the world, has sexual escapades (yep, she’s all grown up in this book) and had…
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. The Bay Area folk are different though, I get the feeling that most of these people knew of “Tony” before A Cook’s Tour…

Restaurant Christian-Etienne – Avignon, France
Restaurant Christian-Etienne 10 rue de Mons 84000 Avignon FRANCE We sauntered in to Avignon on the train with no reservations and neither of us really speak french.

Le Vagenende – Paris
Le Vagenende 142, Boulevard St-Germain 75006 Paris 01.43.26.68.18 We turned in to Le Vagenende because of their tremendous display of oysters in the front window…and we weren’t disappointed. They were absolutely wonderful. With them we drank a ’98 Meursault “Les Corbins” (Bitouzet Prieur). It was smokey but not a smoked wood taste, more like smoked…
