“Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.” Rainer Maria Rilke

Whole Hog Dinners at Oliveto - an awesome Valhrona Chocolate-Caramel Tart layered with strips of candied bacon

I’m in the Silver Lake neighborhood of LA as I write, adventuring and tasting with family and friends… to  share with you at a later date.

Meanwhile, February feasting continues with Top Tastes in food (from Oliveto to Nombe), and for drink, Imbiber, including SF Beer Week favorites. Wandering Traveler journeys once again to Chicago, from Alinea to the Drawing Room.

I’d love your feedback on any spots visited from my site and please tell your friends and have them sign up for the newsletter! As your personal concierge who tells it to you like a good friend would, I also create personalized itineraries: trips, meals, explorations (check out “Services“).

Let me guide you to the perfect spot!
