Gifted Gourmet

That would make sense historically but I have a feeling that the Food Network won't actually go there, so to speak, cakewalk. and that would make for television which was almost too ethereal? right, John?? Must have not been as successful as "Unwrapped" though, Daddy A ... Jinmyo, you do go on and on when you are confounded with something brilliant and creative!

Welcome to the Southeast Forum of eGullet, Collins! You have just given me the newest agenda for today, although it is extremely cold outside, I now realize that I need to get myself over to the DeKalb Farmers' Market yet again for inspiration ... that never seems to happen to me at either Publix or Kroger! Thanks again and hope to see more of your posts here!

Janet Keeler's article from the St. Petersburg Times Janet Keeler is the Food Editor of the St. Petersburg Times .. details in the article at greater length ...In your opinion, might this new programming offer something more substantial, even deeper, than the current round of reportedly shallow, meaningless shows now airing round-the-clock?

Planning a visit to the Cashiers-Highlands, North Carolina, area ... any places where I will be able to enjoy some really great food? Noteworthy experiences there? (keeping it food-related, of course!)

see what you think I have a friend who lives there and has some very good things to report about the restaurants ...

Maybe 600 is considered intimate in D.C. but at my home, it is damned crowded!

the candlelight dinners and menu (click on the menu to enlarge!) Still waiting for my invite to arrive ... porch light on ...

Since I do not live in Jacksonville, I can't say anything from personal experience but here are some superb links to look into: Jacksonville dining of all types ... Enjoy your reading and your visit!

Thanks for this cool tip, ratgirlny (don't you have a little better name for yourself? ) .... I do need to 'broaden' my social horizons ... up to now, mostly Jewish weddings ... which are not really all that bad ... Chopped liver in a variety of 'cutesy' shapes ...

Born in Manhattan, now living below the M-D Line (not Mogen David, ya hear??), I have to laugh when I remember Fannie Flagg and some of the female writers who hailed from this region... they were true southern ladies and delightful ... Why I joined eGullet is a line straight from Scarlett O'Hara: "As God is my witness, I'll nevah be hungry again!" ... Ain't that the all time truth, shugah?

Not a big ortolan fan? transcendental gastronomy to be sure ...

You have taught some of us something quite valuable here! Thanks for your input, Capaneus!

I know about the beverage and bread fillers .. also salad and vegetables .. but the A/C is a new one! Thanks, Toliver, what a (forgive me for this!) cool idea!

While I personally enjoy a chocolate soda made with chocolate ice cream, I did read an exceptional article on egg creams in Gastronomica which delighted me no end! the egg cream explained ...

But not "Hey Dude, Where's my Burrito?" Mores the pity ....

no such thing as an 'old thread' ... thanks for adding your experiences, chefzadi!!

Perhaps something like this recipe where you can add whatever toppings you particularly desire? like what you mentioned: rosemary, sesame seeds, flaxseed, some sort of cheese on it very lightly ...

Not a form of Italian parsley but rather:

Sounds truly divine, reverendtmac! Positively heavenly!!

Assuming that you have checked out some of the links above in this thread, yes? Lot of good ideas for all types of dining, yes, even with 'helmet hair'!

Yes, it would 'count', if anyone was actually 'counting' ... and a hearty 'yes' to "has anyone seen that movie?" Hard to imagine how many people who frequent eGullet would have missed it either in the theatre or on video ... the ultimate foodie flick, I'll wager ...

Thanks for this highly creative and well thought out deep analysis as usual, jamiemaw! Insight of this sort always leaves me breathless!! You certainly have nailed the "Buffet Personality" at its very core!

A flamethrower. ← Ah, yes, an economy of words calculated for maximum comprehension! Thanks.

So, where were we? Oh now I remember: Question #1: Do you particularly enjoy a film when it involves cuisine and its aspects/ramifications? Question #2: Your favorite food-themed film? Recent? Past? Carry on ... enjoying the banter and persiflage ...
