Last night, I was very lucky to be in possesion of a ticket for a special dinner at Fuel . It was an industry (meaning food industry) event, so it started at 11pm. It was so worth the wait. We started with predrinks at Maenam. The service was spotty at best. 20 minutes to get a drink from the bar?? The server kept blaming the bartender, but I think they shared the blame... A glimpse of what was to...

I still remember the first time I ate at Rosa Linda's Mexican Cafe , years ago. It wasn't much to look at, particularly then, but it was clearly a family affair, with the kids and dad Virgilio Aguirre taking orders and bussing the tables and mama Rosa Linda hard at work in the kitchen, turning...

When serving a bold and flavorful Thanksgiving dinner, the theme should carry over to the table setting. You don't need a tablecloth to add a sense of formality; a satin and embroidered runner is equally as festive. Set placemats in front of each chair and top with a shiny brown charger and white plate. Arrange the utensils and napkins on the placemats next to the chargers. Add white and red wine...

pacific cloth & anti-tarnish silver storage bags Every year about 3 weeks before Thanksgiving, I do a check of my serving pieces and silver. What needs to be polished? What has chips? And, do I need any additional serving pieces? I am actually such a big dork that I place small note cards in the dishes and and on the platters so I know what I am serving in what. I also do a trial table setting....
