March 30, 2015. Middot; by Maddie DeWitt. Middot; in Thought for Food. Middot; Leave a comment. So we opened a pizza shop. A few months ago. Well, it’s a little more than that. Take out restaurant, pizza by the slice, and a full beer, wine and spirits shop that I’ve had the pleasure to stock. But in the end, like most things in life, it’s really all about the pizza. And the pizza is good. Inspired by the ubiquitous. 8220;Do you have any normal pizza? What even is normal pizza? Round, I suppose? Still isn...

This is the type of event where you wander through one piazza, snacking your way toward lactose intolerance, when two friends accost you, high on. The moment I best recall is when we sat in the sun, gazing at the valleys of Slovenia, eating microwaved pizza, and I looked down and found a fly in my beer. Sin is Just Missing the Mark.

June 25, 2015. Middot; by Maddie DeWitt. Middot; in Thought for Food. Middot; 4 Comments. To be honest, it would probably be better for my overall mental health to just avoid these online forums altogether, though I do admit there can be lessons culled from these pseudo-anonymous postings. But my favorites, which, naturally, are the sources of the greatest frustrations and head-banging on my part, are the authoritative statements grounded in a context completely devoid of reality or understanding.

For part 1, featuring hazelnut themed marriage auctions and beekeepers, click here. Around a mountaintop piazza while Yukako keeps time on the tambourine? We knew Ale had returned to his fava bean farm by day 4, but nothing had prepared us for what was in store. Strike that, bus rides to school in kindergarten had prepared us, since that is exactly what arrived that mor...

The Future of Buying Food. September 18, 2014. Middot; by Maddie DeWitt. Middot; in Thought for Food. Middot; 2 Comments. Now is the part where I address the proverbial elephant. Hello, elephant, thanks for joining us. And that’s the system I wonder about, that’s the future that needs to be determined. But how does a grocery store afford the increased costs that come with improved quality, and still keep their prices affordable? Does a tiered system make sense? Is it the producer’s responsibility t...

The Chicken and the Goat. January 31, 2014. Middot; by Maddie DeWitt. Middot; in Training in Bra. Middot; 4 Comments. After ostensibly offering the chicken’s life to the audience Roman emperor style, I wanted to explore a different angle. Two months later I witnessed my next instance of animal slaughter. This time, I was not in a tent, not on a stage, but on the former Turnbridge plantation near the South Carolina/Georgia state line. I was at Cook it Raw. For thinking it was somehow okay because everyone...

And so began our tour of the Miglioresse Farm outside of Soverato, during a grand Calabrese adventure. Blemished for life in California. They’re all living organisms, just like humans – so…if we don’t all look the same, why should our food? Projects like this are important, as are farmers willing to bring their “cosmetically ch...

Or something. As Pieroni talked, he invoked one of the greatest lessons of all, that of spirits. Yes, it is important to maintain good spirits and keep yourself happy and all that good stuff, but I’m talking about the other kind of spirits. You know, whiskey, gin, rum, and all.

April 21, 2015. Middot; by headlinefoods. Middot; in Thought for Food. Middot; Leave a comment. A few weeks ago, I overheard a customer inquiring after the line of fancily wrapped chocolates that we have for sale at the front of the store – you know, our version of the Snickers bar and US Weekly you’d impulse grab in the checkout line at Safeway. In the case of Foodshed, it’s hand-rolled. This is not to say that single origin products are not or cannot be of high quality. They most absolutely can be&...

March 2, 2014. Middot; by Maddie DeWitt. Middot; in Uncategorized. Middot; Leave a comment. Not long after submitting this philosophical cover letter, my friend Katie wrote a piece. So back to the original question – what is the role of the restaurant reviewer? To relay the experience or to break down the quality of the food?
