3.11.10 Do people who are fatter eat lunch later? Lots of plumpies arrving at The Mark after 2.

11.24.09 "A successful ganache allows each vintage cocoa bean to express itself freely," sez La Maison du Chocolat’s Linxe. That’s why we need Paris

12.2.09 New York’s passion for pig and BBQ seems distinctly tied to a denial of mortality in those under 40. Popularity of cheese trays shares too.

11.17.09 I’m used to constant: "Are you loving it?" from waiters. New one pre-opening at LA Bouchon: "Did everything turn out like you expected?"

9.2.09 All of us at Citymeals-on-Wheels are proud to have received a 4 star rating from Charity Navigator for fiscal management, 3rd year in a row

9.2.09 One shock after another. Hard to believe Jenny LeRoy has lost competition for her late dad’s Tavern-on-the-Green. Definitely end-of-an-era

9.1.09 So touched Sheila Lukins chose Citymeals to benefit from gifts her saddened friends might want to make in her name. Sheila, always a friend
