Seared Sea Scallops
I love the slightly sweet and tart flavor of seared sea scallops - those are the large scallops; the small ones are bay scallops. They are super easy and quick to make - they literally cook in about 3 minutes. Serve them simply with salt and pepper or with a favorite sauce, aioli, remoulade, yuzu-miso, etc. Ingredients: Fresh sea scallops - about 3-4 per person as a main … [Read more...]

THE BEST NEW BITES OF 2020—Food & Drink Highlights from a Pretty Crappy Year
I don’t have to tell you, It’s been a doozy of a year. The restaurants and bars I write about for a living have been hit hard. Many or most are struggling to stay afloat in the pandemic and far too many are permanently closed. Every restaurant or bar closure is heartbreaking, and I was especially sad to see some of my personal favorites shutter their doors in 2020. Among them, … [Read more...]

Korean-Style Grilled Flank Steak
Here is a really flavorful recipe for flank steak that takes, literally, only minutes to cook. You’ll want to marinate the meat before cooking for at least 4 hours; I prefer to allow my flank steak to marinate overnight. I suggest serving the beef with rice and grilled green onions. Ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 Tbsp sugar 2 Tbsp dry white wine 2 large garlic … [Read more...]
Salwey Pinot Gris 2016
Near the top of the list of my favorite wine varietals is Pinot Gris (aka Pinot Grigio or Grauburgunder). The grape gets its name from its typically grayish-blue color. I’m especially fond of the slightly spicy versions of Pinot Gris that are plentiful in Alsace and, to a lesser extent, in Germany. These are edgy wines with lots of minerality. Recently, I came across a … [Read more...]
New St. Regis Deer Valley Dining Temptations: The New Yurt Village and Brasserie are Perfect Fits for Foodies
One thing you can say about the folks at the St. Regis Deer Valley is that they aren’t content to rest on their laurels. Last year, they rebranded J&G Grill as RIME Seafood & Steak - a welcome improvement of a restaurant that had gotten a bit stale, now with talented Chef Matthew Harris at the helm. I reviewed RIME this summer in Utah Bites. More recently, Brasserie … [Read more...]

Well, you can easily change up your piccata by using fish, shrimp, scallops, pork, turkey or even tofu as the main protein for picatta. Here is a version using boneless pork cutlets.
