Food Czar: September 2010

Tuesday, September 14, 2010. FOOD CZAR REVIEW #61: THE PLACE AT PERRY'S. Note: I had written this post to appear in another space right after Restaurant Week, but alas, it was not to be. Still, better late than never. Enjoy! Many critics and bloggers alike don’t think much of Restaurant Week. Happily, such is not the case at The Place at Perry’s, one of Dallas’ better steak palaces that prides itself on Niman Ranch beef, fresh seafood, and quality ingredients. The Place at Perry’s denotes simple el...

Food Czar: January 2011

Wednesday, January 5, 2011. BOTTLE BATTLE: CHILEAN SAUVIGNON BLANCS. When most novice tipplers first hear the term sauvignon blanc, which means “wild white” in French, they often believe that it must be similar to white zinfandel, which is a rose wine made from red grapes. In fact , this varietal is one of the proud parents of cabernet sauvignon, having been crossed with cabernet franc back in the 18. Two of the leading wine producers in Chile are Santa Rita and Concha y Toro. Santa Rita’s sauvigno...

Food Czar: February 2011

Tuesday, February 1, 2011. WINES THAT ROCK: SYNCHRONICITY IN A GLASS. Most people associate rock and rock with beer chugging or whiskey drinking, but it’s no secret that a lot of rockers are turning to wine as their tipple of choice. Inevitably, a winemaker would pick up on this relationship and start his own line of wines featuring classic rock themes. Well, winemaker Mark Beaman has done just that by partnering with Mendocino Wine Company and producing Wines That Rock. The nose is slightly floral, with...

Food Czar: May 2011

http://foodczar.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 1, 2011. Eat This: Cedars Signature Griller at Cedars Woodfire Grill. Grilling brings out something primal in our Texan nature, best exemplified by the playful title of Bobby Flays book, Boy Meets Grill. Yes, I know The Redheaded One is from The Big Apple, however he earned Honorary Texan status by marrying a Lone Star gal. From Big D, no less.). Speaking of which, it seems that Woodfire Grill establishments of one sort or another are springing up like ground hogs after a rainstorm hereabouts.

Food Czar: Texas Tipples: Chisholm Trail Lone Wolf Lenoir

http://foodczar.blogspot.com/2011/09/texas-tipples-chisholm-trail-lone-wolf.html

Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Texas Tipples: Chisholm Trail Lone Wolf Lenoir. In the tasting glass, Lone Wolf Lenoir is midnight violet in color, almost black. The nose sports rich plum and boysenberry. Very chewy on the palate, with blackberry and baking spices, and a raspberry, currant, and vanilla finish. Pairing Lone Wolf Lenoir with trail meats such as steaks, barbecue and game would be natural, as this tipple could stand up to any beef or red meat dish. May 2, 2012 at 11:12 AM.

Sunday, March 20, 2011. Eat This: Orecchietta Pasta at Fino's Italian Bistro. 8220;Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.”. So begins the famous Marc Antony. Speech memorized by many a high school speech, drama, or English student back in the day, and immortalized by Marlon Brando in the infamous 1953 movie Julius Caesar. In modern Italian cooking terms, orecchietta is a home-made pasta from the Apulia region which is shaped to resemble a small ear. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). FOOD CZAR FAV LINKS.

Food Czar: December 2010

Thursday, December 2, 2010. FOOD CZAR REVIEW #63: MAMA PITA'S MEDITERRANEAN GRILL. Once limited to burgers, tacos,. And chicken, the diner-on-the-go has more choices available these days than just going through the nearest drive-thru. Fast casual is still one of the hottest new segments of the restaurant game, with sub sandwich shops, delis, and build-your-own burrito places racking up impressive business. Even Asian food has entered the fray with places such as Pei-Wei and Roti Grill. At these prices, I...
