And Loving It… Seasoned travel and food writers sometimes tend to disparage cruise line food and meals, usually comparing them to being barely better than hotel convention and buffet food, a take that I vehemently disagree with. Believe me, I've had enough rubber chicken dinner meals and awful buffets to know the difference. I think [...]
Great Experience... David & Josh Seattle is justifiably known for being one of the great seafood restaurant towns in the world. While I’m much more of a carnivore than a pescatarian, I thought it’d be fun to shake things up and try John Howie’s Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar than his steak place for my [...]
Life is Great!!! Another birthday rolled around too soon, but like I said last year, whom am I kidding, I love life and it’s another year to celebrate being alive and healthy. Recently, I started playing and enjoying Michael Bublé’s Feeling Good to kick my day off now. A hot swinging little number, delivered perfectly [...]
Who Doesn’t Like a Picnic... Kevin Murray One of my favorite food and wine events is just around the corner, the Taste Washington Picnic is happening at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville, WA on Friday, Aug 11 and I’m so looking forward to sip and sup at the event. One of the chefs that [...]
Duran Duran ... Remember when you were a teen in those glorious summer days where there was no school and like a cherry on the sundae, there were fantastic rock concerts and music festivals? While concert ticket prices have painfully gone through the roof, there is one benefit to being an old time, concert goer [...]
Ready! I’ve always loved reading memoirs. But as I’ve gotten older, my taste has gotten better. Have no time now for those ghost-written, celebrity rock, movie, TV or chef stars who flamed out all because it was somebody else’s fault that they did all those horrible movies, series, albums, restaurants, got married and divorced 5 [...]
A Welcome Return ... I always blocked off time in mid-March to attend the Taste Washington event in Seattle. Why? More like why not? Fantastic Washington wines on offer in abundance, some good eats that paired great with the wines and a bunch of dinners and events besides the Grand Tasting that were a lot [...]
Beverly Hills North... Another birthday rolled around too soon, which kinda sucked. But whom am I kidding? I love life, so it was great to just be alive and healthy as the alternative sucks way worse. Wanted to blow it out last August at Seattle’s Canlis as it’s THE place to blow it out in the northwest. [...]
Start Spreading the News.... Every year I get itchy feet, wanderlust syndrome. So when I got an invite to go to the Food Network New York City Food and Wine Festival, I couldn’t refuse. After picking up my press credentials at the Conrad Hotel, I walked down to Park Ave to dine at Anthony Bourdain’s [...]
Check Out Howie's VIP Tent... John Howie They say if you want something done right, hire a busy person. If the cliché is true, then the Auction of Washington Wine brain trust had the right idea when they got chef, restaurateur and serial entrepreneur, John Howie to head up their VIP tent for their upcoming Barrel [...]
