If you’re a Top Chef fan, I’m about to preach to the choir. But I stopped watching it the season Fabio Viviani didn’t win. And it wasn’t just because he was gorgeous, charming, and had an Italian accent I still hear in my dreams. Well… maybe a little bit! But also because his food looked […]
Much to my endless chagrin, I totally missed the boat when it came to the late, lamented—and highly lauded—Great Lake Pizza in Andersonville.
