Cakespy’s 8 Favorite Savory Meals in Paris

d05629f60evories.jpg 150x112 Cakespys 8 Favorite Savory Meals in Paris

[ Original artwork and photographs: Jessie Oleson , unless otherwise noted] On a recent trip to Paris, my travel goal was simple: I wanted to try at least one pâtisserie in each of the 20 arrondissements. Did I attain my goal? Oh, you bet I did (and the findings will be reported here soon). But in order to stave off those nasty jitters that tend to accompany such sweet excess, and because it would be a crime to not explore the savory offerings in the City of Lights, here’s just a sampling of non-sweet eats enjoyed on the trip: Croque Madame/Monsieur La Comète: Our first stop off of the metro? No, not some museum or the Eiffel Tower—it was a Parisian cafe, of course! And our inaugural meal? Cafe crème and croque monsieurs (or is it messieurs?) all around at La Comète. What you’ll find here is a satisfying, if no-frills, version of the classic: a combination of sandwich bread heaped with salty ham and blanketed in rich Gruyère. 6, rue des Archives, 75004, 4th Arrondissement, Paris, France ( map ) 01 42 72 10 27 Café du Drapeau: Anything a Croque Monsieur can do, a Croque Madame can do better. And at Café…

CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN

254bfe3021essler.jpg 146x150 CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN

I drink champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty. ~ Madame Lilly Bollinger CHAMPAGNE MEMORIES – PART #2 AN ITALIAN STORY « Oh mon cheri, / non vedo l’ora di tornare a Paris, / e camminare sotto braccio con te…. e si augurano di poterci tornare per pranzare, come recita il titolo, con pollo e champagne. » « Oh, my darling, I can’t wait to return to Paris, / and to stroll with you arm in arm… and to wish that we could return and dine on, as the title says, on chicken and champagne. » – from Pollo e Champagne Saturday morning. Lying in bed trying to read as husband, buried under rumpled sheets and a pile of blankets, head nestled, half concealed, in a mountain of pillows, mirth sparkling in his eyes, starts his usual chain-of-thought silly prattling, on and on, mixing archeology, anthropology, history, old has-been French singers, ridiculous American film stars, Boston Terriers and pretty …

Salad Recipe Tour Series! Destination: Springtime.

745fdf4c31bowl 3.jpg 150x144 Salad Recipe Tour Series! Destination: Springtime.

It’s less than two weeks til spring my overcoat-wearing, flip-flop ogling, hot cocoa-overloaded, scarf-resenting, Farmer’s Market dreaming friends. The sunshine feels a tad warmer nowadays and a few spring-savvy birds have begun tuning their vocals. And when I think of springtime, I think of salads! Brilliant, beautiful, colorful, textured salads – each rich in complex sweet, salty, nutty, savory and crunch-happy flavors. So tomorrow I am launching my Salad Tour Series for Springtime! With each salad recipe, we’ll travel to a new destination for inspiration! Salad Creativity. But crafting a salad is more than simply pulling out a bottle of shelf-stable dressing and a bag of pre-washed greens. There is an art to crafting a truly cravable (and healthy) salad. I always look forward to preparing a giant salad with my dinnertime meal. For this series, I’ve pulled together a few awesome recipes and tips that I want to share with you. Salads are art. My salad bowl is my blank canvas and my ingredients my materials. I’m so excited for this Salad Tour Recipe Series! Get the schedule… This series will lead you right …

Blueberry Hill in St. Louis Doesn’t Stand the Test of (Burger) Time

e02c90ebd2intro.jpg 150x135 Blueberry Hill in St. Louis Doesnt Stand the Test of (Burger) Time

From A Hamburger Today [Photographs: Daniel Zemans] Blueberry Hill 6504 Delmar, St. Louis, MO 63130 ( map ); 314-727-4444‎; blueberryhill.com Cooking Method: Gas grill Short Order: A once great burger fails to adjust to advances in burgerology. Want Fries With That? No—they’re flavorless and mushy. Price: 5-ounce burgers, $5.25; 5-ounce hickory burgers, $5.50; 7 ounce versions of each, $5.95 and $6.25 Some styles of burgers have defied the shifting tastes. Places that rely more on unique cooking methods than quality beef, including any number of slider purveyors, are just as delicious today as they were decades ago. Steakhouses that have always made burgers from higher quality meat have also withstood the test of time. But when a place puts out a thick burger on an ordinary bun with minimal toppings, grocery store-quality meat is no longer going to satisfy the discerning burger eater no matter how perfectly it’s cooked. That message was really brought home when I visited Blueberry Hill on a trip to St. Louis in December. When I lived in the Gateway City from the fall of 1998 until early summer 1999, if I craved a good burger, I went to Blueberry Hill. Eager to see if it …

John’s Pizzeria: Former Chicago Standout Lives On In Indiana

306450aa75de%202.jpg 150x71 Johns Pizzeria: Former Chicago Standout Lives On In Indiana

From Slice Serious Eats Chicago contributor Daniel Zemans (of Chicago Pizza Club ) checks in with another piece of intel on the Windy City pizza scene. — The Mgmt. [ Photographs: Daniel Zemans ] John’s Pizzeria 247 Ridge Road, Munster, IN 46321 ( map ); 219-836-8536; theoriginaljohns.com Pizza Style: Thin-crust Oven Type: Gas The Skinny: South suburban institution no longer operating in Illinois but still putting out delicious pies with spectacular sausage Price: Medium with one topping, $16.20 In 1943, Sicilian native Phil Bacino opened John’s Pizzeria in Calumet City just south of Chicago. Over the next 60-plus years, the place was an institution that passed down through the family, first to Phil’s son John (after whom the restaurant was named) and then to grandsons Vince and Phil. Over time, Calumet City became less Italian and John’s expanded into in Indiana. In 2006, 63 years after it opened, the original John’s closed. Fortunately for fans old and new, Vince and Phil still operate two restaurants just across the Indiana border, one in Munster and one in Whiting. I never went to John’s in the original location, but I …

Heather & William’s Wedding

e6027312702ca6d3.jpg 150x120 Heather & Williams Wedding

Heather is the daughter of my best friend Joanne. I’ve watched her grow up and as she said her wedding vows and cried with happiness yesterday, I too cried with joy for her. Heather is a beautiful, capable, wonderful, warm-hearted, unspoilt and unpretentious girl, a daughter that I would be truly proud of. In my husband’s Cantonese words as they danced on the floor later that night, “Goh nam jei jen hei jeb doe” (it’s hard to translate but it means the fella’s real lucky). You’d think that when she moved to Shanghai to work 2 years ago that Heather would meet a Chinaman but no, a Frenchman moved to the ‘Paris Of The East’ at about the same time and they were introduced by a friend a couple of months after arrival to the city. That was 1 1/2 years ago and yesterday Heather and William were married at the Pacific Sutera Resort Hotel just before sunset. There are three resort hotels in the city and we the locals take them for granted, never visiting them until some visitors are in town. The city of Kota Kinabalu is blessed with a…
