Three of New York’s best Italian culinary stars are the genius behind the city’s new giant Italian marketplace called Eataly. Lidia Bastianich, Joe Bastianich and Mario Batali, who all have fabulous resturants in NYC, are now showcasing the best of Italy in this entertaining emporium modeled after their partner Oscar Farinetti’s emporium in Turin, Italy.
Juicy, tender ribs dripping with sauce, perfectly smoked brisket and chicken so flavorful you’d swear it wasn’t chicken! Hundreds of choices and loads of fun at the world’s largest BBQ contest.
Really! This elegant frittata is the perfect dish to impress someone special. It whips up in no time and makes for a perfect cozy breakfast in bed or a romantic brunch for your Valentine.
Anytime you serve a rib roast, it’s the star of the table—beautiful to look at and delicious too.

A treasure trove of antique recipes is tucked away into the stacks at the University of Texas San Antonio Library’s Special Collections. Thumbing through the books is fascinating even if you aren’t fluent in Spanish. It’s obvious by the sketches and ingredients that ‘food’ translated in any language means ‘love’.

It’s harvest time at Texas wineries, and one Hill Country vineyard celebrated with a tradition that dates back to the Incas. At the La Cruz del Comal winery just west of New Braunfels, the harvesting of the grapes started at sunrise.
I found the most charming, unique bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg called the Cotton Gin Village. It features seven cabins decked out in Texas style with all the modern amenities you’d ever need like satellite TV, working kitchens and Jacuzzi tubs.
What’s the best hamburger you’ve ever had? In our neck of the woods I have two favorites – the ‘crack’ burger at Zinc on the Riverwalk, as locals call it because it’s so deliciously addictive, and the blue cheese burger out at the Alamo Springs Café near Comfort.
