Dear Friends ~

Cavana’s Sangrita Chela cocktail

Returning from a research trip in Las Vegas for upcoming articles, I prepare for some blessed time at home before heading to North and South Carolina after mid-March.

In addition to my regular articles at The Bold Italic, my weekly dining column reviews one restaurant each week. I welcome those interested to follow me, or even sign up for a membership for my articles at Medium, which partially goes to support us as writers. Follow or support. I thank you.

Per usual, I’m posting my daily research in dining and drink at @ThePerfectSpot on TwitterFacebook (and why I’m boycotting Instagram here).
