Iron Chef Michael Symon just started a new show called Food Feuds where he goes to restaurants in a region that claim to have the best of something.  This blog is my attempt to do something similar.  Who does crab better?  East Coast or West Coast?  One of the most well known and popular places...

October 10, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
After having dinner at Wayfare Tavern a few weeks ago, I was inspired to make popovers.  Popovers are light hollow rolls made from an egg batter.  I’ve only been served these at dinnertime, but I think breakfast is a great time to serve them.  I had an occasion to make them.  I was in charge...

September 13, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
After having dinner at Wayfare Tavern in San Francisco, I am now in love with celebrity chef Tyler Florence.  He is the star to several Food Network shows, but I never thought too much of him before this.  Maybe I was unimpressed because he was the spokesperson to Applebee’s.   Anyhow, my BFF (Best Friend Forever),...
