The restaurant is a byproduct of France’s revolution. A defiant push against the aristocracy’s monopolistic hold on fine dining. Yet it was the fine dining establishments throughout Russia that were, among others, targeted as “monuments to the privilege of the nobility, the effeteness of the intelligentsia,” as Amor Towles would write.

Recently, The Broadmoor invited me for a behind-the-scenes tour of the resort’s extensive food and beverages services. My host and guide was David Patterson, The Broadmoor’s disarmingly humble and authentic

"If an eatery is short sighted in offering delivery of dishes unsuited to the rigors of time and travel, ideally, then, disappointed customers’ feedback would quell the poor business practice and a newer normal would be achieved."

Texture, temperature and taste — the three preeminent characteristics that aid in the assessment of a food’s quality. To fail in any of these areas is to fail completely. Fried

Attorneys are notorious drinkers, especially inside the DC beltway. Thespians are also known lushes, if we’re allowing stereotypes.

It started in law school. The drinking. Well, the cocktail making and drinking. Not “drinking” in the pejorative sense. Although, attorneys are notorious drinkers, especially inside the DC beltway. Thespians

It’s a pent up energy straining against the chain forged link by restrictive link over the past year.

“Opa!” exclaims another table of patrons, led by their server: shot glasses held high; a unified cry of Ouzo fueled exuberance. The national drink and its associated cheer catalyze, lubricate

We boarded the plane with a trepidation of pandemic wrapped in aerophobia, exacerbated by small bags of peanuts and flight attendants miming safety instructions...It’s like Sherlock Holmes goes to New Deli, marries a Bollywood actress and then returns to Baker Street to start an Indian fish ’n chips shop. Brilliant.

We boarded the plane with a trepidation of pandemic wrapped in aerophobia, exacerbated by small bags of peanuts and flight attendants miming safety instructions — Yeah, like I’m gonna find

How is a person supposed to endure? How is a food critic even supposed to live?! Why would I do this to myself?

No wine for 30 days. No butter for 30 days. No bread or granola or French cheese or gin martinis or wine or even peanut-butter for a gruelingly tedious span

It might have been assumed that this Mid Shooks Run buildout was the rebirth of Blue Star? The reality has been, surprisingly, better.

The doors closed at the Blue Star years ago. One of the Colorado Springs’ finer dining establishments, lauded for their new American fare and extensive wine list, the closure left

What’s wild, boarding on dangerous, is experiencing the jolt of caffeine and the intoxication of bourbon, in tandem.

Caffeine and alcohol collide in this cocktail coffee. Not to be confused with a coffee cocktail. Kaluah and other coffee liqueurs can be left to those who think coffee is

Despite the current, near cataclysmic year, DelGrosso has piloted Switchback through the tumult, quickly pivoting via innovative ideas and even adding a second location along the way.

For 10 years, Brandon DelGrosso has been the owner and operator of Switchback Coffee Roasters, a local business that has ensconced itself as perhaps the preeminent coffee roaster and cafe

...the harbinger of autumn is the pumpkin spiced latte.

When James Hoffmann walked into a Starbucks at London’s Tower Bridge, the coffee elite were forced to recognize, nay confess, something that is fundamentally true of practically all of us:

Can we assume you, like us, gravitate to culinary bliss when the frenetic chaos threatens too loudly?
