Feasting at the street booths on July 4th in 19th-century New York City (reprise)

This post appeared for the first time in this space on the 4th of July in 2022, proving that we have all been here before, unless of course we haven’t. Happy Independence Day from Food & Dining Magazine.   As Archie Bunker once crooned, “those were the days.” Before microwave ovens, food trucks and UPS-airlifted […]

Headline titillation? That’d be rare. Almost as unlikely as the sight of me downing an ice-cold Miller Blah Life after a Sunday morning bicycle ride. Rather, we’re gathered here today to discuss the ideal edible vehicle for the Mediterranean ingredients I routinely crave: pasta “in the style of a prostitute.” Note that when someone says the […]

Edibles & Potables: Remembering Mary Jane Rathbun, a.k.a. Brownie Mary (1922 – 1999)

“All human beings are practicing historians. We live our lives; we tell our stories. It is as natural as breathing.” — Gerda Lerner Food as activism? You’d better believe it. One needn’t care a solitary jot about psychoactive drugs like marijuana (it isn’t this beer-centric correspondent’s cup of hallucinogenic-infused tea, you know) to be fascinated […]

Edibles & Potables: Eastern European Sauerkraut Soup (with proper beer accompaniment)

 Once upon a time at Facebook, I observed that “beer is good food.” Somewhere in the deep recesses of my brain-wave labyrinth, I knew the Dead Kennedys recorded a song back in 1985 called “Soup Is Good Food,” the title of which will make sense to certain more chronologically advanced readers as a Campbell’s […]

Edibles & Potables: “Bread and Oil,” and a Majorcan way of eating

It’s time again to spin one of the columnist’s favorite broken records, because for me, Europe is a recurring fascination. New discoveries forever await: history, geography, music, art, food and drink. So it was a few years back when I discovered the relatively recent English translation of The Island of Second Sight, written by the […]

Edibles & Potables: Among the autumn rituals, behold the persimmon

I grew up in the Southern Indiana countryside. During my 16th birthday year of 1976, the surroundings were hastily being repurposed into tidy residential suburbs. But we still had pastures and woods, raised some Angus, kept a garden, and looked upon a single gnarly persimmon tree just down the hill from our house. When late […]

Nina Greipel’s “Gasthaus Coookbook and Memories” has arrived

We return to those traumatic times not so long ago, in 2022, when so many of us suddenly were faced with empty culinary lives without Schnitzel Holsteiner Art (and Aventinus Weizen Doppelbock).
