If you're going to eat animals, fish and seafood are tops. I could preach and pontificate endlessly on the virtues of clean, high quality protein and heart-healthy lipids, but I sense that most of my readers don't need to be told. By now you've surely also deduced that I am ...

Norway has agreed to foot the bill for a "doomsday" vault to house seed specimens of food-producing crops. This is good to know. In the event of a cataclysm or major F-up that'd prevent the normal cultivation of food crops for a while, we'd be in trouble without a back-up. ...

I enjoyed one of my favorite meals at a favorite St. Louis restaurant the other night. Next time you're in Missouri's Gateway City, you'd do well to visit Wei Hong Bakery & BBQ (3175 South Grand Avenue, 314-773-8318) and order the roast duck on rice, a testament ...

If you're standing in front of this Hajduk Split fan club mural on Split's Riva, turn 140 degrees to your right and walk about 75 meters.
Ask any of the locals. Buffet Fife (boo-fay FEE-fay) is the place to eat in Split. Fresh, organic ingredients are prepared simply and traditionally, ...

Sure, you can make ice cream from octopus but I'm usually not much for sweets. One of my favorite preparations of the cephalapod, octopus salad, can be found on nearly every menu in Dalmatia. My version with mussels pictured below hardly adheres to the letter of tradition, but I see ...

The pork part was a mistake. The burger part wasn't. The story doesn't bear repeating here.
