tasting at momocho

November 8, 2007

Attention all chefs: there needs to be more tastings offered on a regular basis, or as part of the normal menu.

this week’s feast!

September 25, 2007

In this week’s Feast!, I wrote about Momocho. Please ignore the lame headline. I was struggling that day and very tired. Anyway, Momocho, in my opinion, is the best Mexican in the city – and definitely my favorite for guacamole. If you have yet to try, it’s definitely worth your time and should be on [...]

q & a with you

August 22, 2007

I’ve really enjoyed getting to know our local chefs a bit better. Particularly, it’s been interesting to learn which places get their nod as a favorite, which restaurant is missed and what hidden gem Clevelanders have yet to discover. I thought it would be interesting to open up those questions to everyone and see what [...]

I’m not a fan of forwards or filling out stupid questionnaires about things that friends/family members should have general knowlegde of after knowing me for 31 years. But, it did get me thinking about my favorite [...]
