Homemade Potato Chips Recipe
I love potato chips. Unfortunately, most commercial chips are too salty and don’t really taste like … you know … POTATOES. On the last day of the ski season at Deer Valley Resort I had lunch at Empire Lodge and enjoyed the made-from-scratch potato chips that they make. Quite simply, they were the best potato chips I’ve ever eaten. So I did a little research and the secret to … [Read more...]
Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich Recipe
Since my son lives near Philadelphia, I’ve spent a lot of time there and eaten more than my share of Philly cheesesteaks. And while it isn’t easy to make an authentic cheesesteak at home - especially since you can’t get Amoroso rolls here in Utah - you can create a pretty good facsimile. Most cheesesteaks in Philly are made using boneless rib eye steak. If you have that … [Read more...]

From Scratch Falafel Recipe
When I lived in New York City, at least once every week I would eat at a cheap, hole-in-the-wall joint in Greenwich Village called Mamoun’s Falafel. The overstuffed falafel sandwiches were just 75 cents apiece. I recently revisited Mamoun’s and although the prices have gone up a tad, the falafel is still the best I’ve ever tasted. Here is a falafel recipe to make falafel from … [Read more...]
Brews & Chews: 5 Can’t-Miss Restaurant Food and Beer Pairings
For decades, wine snobs ruled the roost when it came to finicky food and beverage pairings. You know: Chardonnay ain’t good with steak; Cabernet is. That sort of thing. Well, with the emergence of America’s craft breweries and the idea that you can eat something besides burgers or beef jerky with your beer, focused food and beer pairings have also become “a … [Read more...]
