Greetings dear readers/listeners and fans…I am pleased to
announce my return to CriticalPalate.com, after a hiatus of a few months. The subject of my hiatus will be in
forthcoming blogs, but fret not friends, I have been busy consuming on your
behalf.
Before I get back to restaurant talk, I have to thank Jordan
Rich for adding me to the Connoisseurs’ Corner (“CC”) line-up on WBZ1030am here
in Boston. For those of you unfamiliar
with the concept, CC is a spot hosted by Jordan and broadcast for about 1:30
several times a week on WBZ during the drive time. It touches upon a variety of topics, many
food or beverage related. Jordan brought
me in to his plush, but not overly ostentatious, personal studio for some great
discussion on the topics below. With Jordan
working his magic, he brought these down to 12 segments of one and half minutes
of brilliance, if my mother says so. You
can find some of them here:
Some of the topics covered:
Man v. Food generation-Jordan and I talked about people taking on ridiculous food challenges and
stuffing themselves silly. We talked
about a few places local to the Boston area where you can engage is such behaviors;
Food network generation-How the Food Network and Cooking
Channel has made a lot of us in to “foodies” and much more aware of what we
eat, and how it’s made;
Food trucks/food tours-these aren’t your daddy’s roach
coaches anymore. Jordan and I did three
segments on the proliferation of food trucks, where to find them in Boston, and
talked about an upcoming food truck festival in Natick, where the trucks come
to the suburbs.
Cookbooks-Cookbooks aren’t just for the recipes…many of the
newer cookbooks are written like novels, and/or brilliantly illustrated and
photographed. “Jerusalem”, “My Bread”
and “The Prophets of Smoked Meat” were discussed.
Young foodies-everyone’s is a critic now, right? Jordan and I talked a bit about how I got
started as a food blogger, and how many people are running their own
blogs. It’s easy for people to share
their experiences, and hopefully, making restaurants better for everyone.
Take a listen, while I cultivate my future posts. I promise, many more posts soon, with my
copyrighted Critical Palate edge…until then, eat often!
