Restaurant Bits and Bites

From the copy and paste press release department. Hi Nancy. Would it surprise you to know that if we all ate out just one more time a week, we’d pump $118 million [ed. note: billion ] back into the economy over the course of a year? We learned that, and a lot of other surprising info about the connection between the restaurant industry and the overall economy – which led our agency down the path of creating a video that we’re just crazy enough to think might encourage a few folks to chan

BEST OF: ANTONIO RUIZ

Founder, the Creativity Network PHOTO by JOHN GILHOOLEY “If you can figure out what I do for a living, you can let me know,” jokes former longtime E!

Then I saw them live for the first time at Bonnaroo, covered in sweaty filt

The Next Iron Chef: making more with less

The theme was a bit different on “The Next Iron Chef” yesterday than it was last week. Last week, you’ll remember, the chefs had to create meals with some, you know, delicacies. Yesterday’s episode featured the idea of making more with less–simplicity. And that’s a theme that a really great chef can do a lot with. For the initial challenge, each chef had to make something with a cooking vessel that they might not necessarily use normally–tagines, steamer pots, Mongolian hot pot, etc. Wit

My Love Affair with Bob Evans Biscuits and a Giveaway

GIVEAWAY SATURDAY When we moved to Columbus, I thought we would only be eating at chain restaurants. I've blogged a lot about how pleasantly surprised I've been to discover a wealth of independent restaurants here.

Last night, my parents came home with Baylee!
