When you change your lifestyle, you change your life. And perhaps my recent lifestyle change has overturned my life as a foodie – in a good way, of course. On my road to better health (and better shape) I’ve learned many things. I’ve learned how to maximize my time on the bicycle or in running [...]
This episode has more to do with the fact that I like to eat rabbit than it does my disdain for Easter. But I do dislike what Easter has become. All of the pastel colors, cute drawings of bunnies, pink shit every where you look – it’s as if the inventors of “Candyland” had something [...]
Let’s face it. They call these things “Nasty Bits” for a reason. Perhaps it’s the physical connection that we have with certain parts of our own bodies that make the idea of eating those same parts from an animal a complete turnoff. We’re all used to the flavor of steaks, loins, chops, legs, and breasts. [...]
Imagine a farm-to-table lunch spot in the heart of the craft beer movement of San Diego, with an amazing beer list (constantly updated), proudly serving their house cured charcuterie using locally sourced ingredients from farms and producers that they also feature on a chalk board in the dining area. Imagine that. Then visit The Linkery [...]
I get it a lot. “How do you know that you don’t like things if you haven’t tasted them?” True. Everything deserves a chance, right? On today’s show, I’ll fix all of that. I taste it, drink it, cook it, and live with the consequences. From a beer I swear would never pass my lips, [...]
With St. Patrick’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, it’s more important than ever to remember that drinking and driving don’t mix. So if you’re out having a good time this weekend, keep in mind that your safety, and the safety of others, hang in the balance if you get behind the wheel of [...]
It’s a hot topic in our country – its reform being one of the foundations of the current White House administration. Healthcare is often misunderstood. Why is it so expensive? What’s wrong with the proposed “Obamacare” universal healthcare system? Why won’t socialized medicine work in the United States? It took me 91 episodes, but I’ve [...]
This week on Out To Lunch, we visit Watermarc Restaurant in Laguna Beach for some off-the-charts gourmet burgers and fries. When Don tells you that he’s taking you for a “light lunch” it’s a good idea to give thought to what he considers a “light lunch.” Burgers with toppings like duck confit, brie, caramelized onions, [...]
Introducing a new segment of My Life as a Foodie – Out To Lunch. In each episode, we’ll visit a new lunch spot that I like, give you an idea of what they serve, and how much lunch costs. In this episode of Out To Lunch we visit 101 Noodle Express located at 5408 Walnut [...]
When we closed the year a few years ago, I projected that food trucks would be the next big trend in food. That happened, although I didn’t care for the outcome. Whether or not that trend continues in 2012, I have a feeling that another trend is about to really catch on and I’m far [...]
