Spring Travel and Food

Cogito has hit the road.

While Atlanta has been good for food and fun, the time for a change has arrived.

But just because one has no kitchen is no reason to stop enjoying eating, cooking, and good friends.

Over the next several weeks, the food and fun will travel cross country, with the bow pointed west, eating and writing all the way.

The first stop was at the home of relatives in Michigan. The menu consisted of grilled pork tenderloin (imagine) with a blueberry maple syrup sauce, sauteed spinach (a Cogito favorite), roasted potatoes with rosemary and some grilled bread.


Upcoming cooking and eating destinations include Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City.......

This Omnivore's Dilemma

Prime or Choice? Grass or Corn Fed? Organic? Local? Dry Aged?


Yes, yes, and yes.

The more I learn about food, the more I understand that we just don't need beef that often. This simple reality makes me want to appreciate it when I do indulge. When I eat steak I try to do it well. This local dry aged rib eye was just the thing to cure my craving this weekend.

Given all the questions and the interest in the details of our food, these days, it can be difficult to make good, informed decisions. Saveur has a piece that helped me to wade through it all and also made my belly rumble. http://www.saveur.com/food_new_recipes.jsp?issueID=200706.

Enjoy your steaks...
