I’m Back – Food 2023!

Just like your favorite rock band faked you out with that last retirement, I’m back! Life is just too delicious! I actually did a top 10 last year over on Instagram and had originally intended to post this over there, but for a whole host of reasons, I’m burning out on that app. Also, I […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Food 2016

In my Top 10 food list last year I warned that the 2016 edition might consist of nothing more than baby food recipes. The little guy just started eating in November, and I can sum up the past month of infant cookery for you real quick: I puree cooked vegetables, so far he likes sweet […]

Top 10 2015

I considered skipping the old Top 10 post this year, in its 8th edition. Year end lists seem to be cliché, passé, blasé, blasé at this point– folks are sick of em! There’s a lot to be sick of on the internet these days. I don’t know what your Facebook feed has looked like in […]

Top 10 2014

Truth be told, I eat a lot of chicken salads. How else do you think I keep my girlish figure after those all day food tours of far flung neighborhoods eating Jim Shoe after Jim Shoe? That’s the thing about year end lists, they tend to focus on the thrills rather than the day-to-day. I […]

Top 10 2013

Sometimes I wonder if I have a problem, I never, I mean never, stop thinking about food. I asked Jessica if she thinks about photography nonstop and she replied “not the same way you think about food constantly”. I know I’ve got a big freakin appetite.  It seems as though I ate a million things […]
