Why REI, Levis and Coca Cola, and many local businesses are no longer advertising on Facebook

June 30, 2020 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Stop hate for profit has gained enormous momentum in ending the spread of misinformation and hate on the social media platform. It was announced today that Starbucks and Pepsi will join the litany of major brands that will be discontinuing their ad spending with the social media giant. Market Business Insider reports that Facebook has lost $60 billion in value since the … [Read more...]

The End of History

June 29, 2020 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The New York Times is endorsing the actions of protestors tearing down statues of figures such as Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Will history now rewrite our founding fathers as racist white supremecists? The same man who insisted be written in our Constitution that "All men are created equal." and the same man who abolished slavery should now be forgotten. These are … [Read more...]

A SLAM-DUNK DINING DEAL: The Bargain Omakase Prix Fixe Meal at Nohm

June 26, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I’m taking this week off from writing about takeout and curbside restaurant meals since I actually ventured to a restaurant to dine in-house for the first time in more than three months. Ironically, the restaurant I chose to visit this week happens to also be one of the last I wrote about before the pandemic hit and local restaurants closed.  The restaurant is Nohm. There … [Read more...]

Peanut-Sesame Noodles

June 26, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

When I lived in New York City, there was a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant on Division Street in Chinatown -- the name of which I've long since forgotten -- that served up the best sesame noodles I've ever tasted. These noodles -- called dandan or dan dan in China -- are a specialty of the Sichuan region, but are popular and sold by street vendors all over China. Over the … [Read more...]

Bargain Barbera

June 26, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

One of my favorite wine suppliers is Utah-based Bon Vivant Imports. Whenever I see Bon Vivant on a wine bottle label I know that the wine will be terrific and that it will usually be a good value. That is especially true of this week’s wine: Santa Guistina Barbera. It is an absolute steal priced at a mere $8.99.  In case you’re not familiar with Italy’s Barbera wines, they … [Read more...]

To Your Health! A Half-Dozen Healthful & Delectable Restaurant Dishes

June 22, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

All too often, trying to eat healthy in restaurants means settling for a salad or attempting to enjoy some bland, under-seasoned plate of tofu, tempeh or seitan. But thanks to the creativity and sensitivity of many modern chefs, diners no longer have to sacrifice flavor in an effort to dine healthfully. To wit, here are a half-dozen restaurant offerings demonstrating how … [Read more...]

Ancient Medicinal Mushrooms in a Modern Age

June 20, 2020 by Jme Bonfiglio Leave a Comment

Today, you can find mushrooms in nearly every health store and supplement aisle. But 2,000 years ago, these mushrooms reigned supreme as powerful sources of physical and spiritual strength that only grew on sacred mountains. You could say they were “magic” mushrooms (though without the psilocybin). Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) healers named the mushrooms lingzhi, which … [Read more...]

June 19, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

While many local restaurants are still closed for in-house dining due to COVID-19 restrictions, a few have reopened and will be welcoming guests for Father’s Day lunches, brunches and dinners this weekend. Here’s a handful of dad-worthy dining destinations.  A terrific spot to celebrate Father’s Day - and to enjoy sensational views along with exceptional food and drink - … [Read more...]

Crispy Catfish Fry

June 19, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I love the Southern tradition of the Friday (or Saturday) night fish fry. Here is a recipe for super crispy fried fish that uses a cornmeal coating rather than a flour-based batter. Try it and I think you’ll love it. Even kids really like the crisp, crunchy fish nuggets.  Ingredients: 1 cup whole buttermilk 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 Tbsp hot sauce, such as … [Read more...]
