Food 2021: This is it
Well, here I am writing at 5:30 AM again — I forced myself out of bed to eke out some precious me-time. Our toddler has been home for an extended winter break since a COVID case was reported in his daycare class four weeks ago (he’s fine though!) Shout out to the parents out there, especially […]
A Top 10 of Top 10s!
And of course, I can’t just go out on a whimper — being the list-maker that I am, I couldn’t resist the indulgence to make a meta list — a top 10 of what I consider to be my best pieces of writing from thirteen years of year end lists. Besides from adding a few […]

Food 2020
Ugh, I keep saying that I don’t have anything left to say about this forsaken year. But at the very least I need to brag about my sourdough and say fuck you to the government… It’s pretty clear to me that our government doesn’t give a fuck about most things that I value – the […]
The Chicago Foodcultura Clarion
My gallery attracts eccentric folx, some who seem to show up just to eat the home made snacks I serve at openings (remember when we could do that, I sure do miss it.) So I didn’t bat an eye when, about a year ago, a man in his 70s wearing a hot pink puffy coat […]
Food 2019
I’m going to focus on restaurants this year– I ate a lot of good stuff around Chicago, the burbs, and out of town. As for cooking exploits, I feel like I’ve shared plenty on other media throughout the year– food porn from the catering kitchen over on the ‘gram + if you’re looking for recipes, […]
Food 2018
I felt like we were at the edge of the world, a dystopian future-world, the kind that I’ve unfortunately had negative fantasies about too often in the past two years–perched on a wobbly stool in an unheated trailer getting weird looks from the Slavic truckers waiting around us. We traveled far to get here, to […]
Ox-Bow Cooks at Home
When I cooked for Ox-Bow, a pretty frequent customer request was “when are you putting out a cookbook?” We had casually kept recipes for years and started compiling a list of classic dishes for a cookbook sometime around 2011. My decision to leave Ox-Bow in 2014, after 15 years of cooking, really lit the fire under my […]

Food 2017
Where we’re at If there was one thing I ingested a lot of this year, it was media. Unfortunately, not enough of it was about food. In the sea of political hysteria, a culinary 140 characters here and there was often enough to take my mind off of environmental crisis, nuclear threat, the dissolution of […]
World Town: Global Eats in Chicago
World Town: Chicago is a carefully curated guide to eating (and shopping) the best of international cuisine in Chicago. With 64 profiles of restaurants spanning Korean to Peruvian, West Roger’s Park to Bridgeview, grocers categorized by culture, and more. This book was the natural evolution of a “secret” list of spots that Eric has kept […]
