  Always the Food Critic

  01.28.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  Foodandtell is not supposed to be about me. But I have to share this early moment I found on Youtube, featuring a very young me, frowning at ice cream in a 1985 Mother’s Pizza commercial. I am still repeating the performance in restaurants nightly.

  New Dishes at Judas Goat

  01.23.11 | Permalink | 2 Comments | By Jonathan

  I hadn’t been to Judas Goat in some months and I stopped in to enjoy the new dishes on the menu. Along with the rest of the Gastown restaurants owned by Sean Heather, Judas seems to be benefiting from the input of Rob Belcham.
  Although I admit missing the rabbit rillette, I enjoyed the new shellfish [...]

  Sushi Kimura

  01.23.11 | Permalink | 1 Comment | By Jonathan

  I thought Sushi Kimura on Rupert at 22nd was a find until I saw the urban spoon reviews; it seems I am the last to find it!
  Sushi Kimura is a small restaurant with a friendly staff. The menu has a good variety of sushi, sashimi, robata and tempura. Everything was delicious and although we didn’t [...]

  A Lost Post: Kit’s Daily

  01.19.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  2010 was a busy year filled with eating and drinking and I didn’t always keep up with posting. I am going to draw on some of those experiences for a series called the Lost Posts.
  First up is Kit’s Daily, which I visited in late December for dinner. I had been wanting to go because [...]

  Still dining in during dine out, with caveats

  01.16.11 | Permalink | 2 Comments | By Jonathan

  As Dine Out season begins again, bigger than ever, my rant from last year is getting some play. I have been a somewhat outspoken critic of Dine Out, a position that has led some to call me an elitist and others to criticize me for not supporting the restaurant industry.
  The two groups that seem most [...]

  Ryan Stone, Bocuse d’Or 2011

  01.15.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  Last week I was among a group of bloggers and media invited to witness Ryan Stone’s dry run for the 2011 Bocuse d’Or. The Bocuse d’Or is a prestigious culinary competition held in Lyon France every two years. To reach the 2 day competition each chef must win a qualifying competition in their own country, [...]

  Sale on Thermapens

  01.14.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  Fast, accurate and all-around awesome, the Thermapen is the best probe-style food thermometer. I have had one for a couple of years, and I swear by it. One of these and the protein temperature charts out of McGee makes for some fun experimenting!
  And they are on sale! Right now pick one up for $79 (regular [...]

  Mexican Food Marathon

  01.04.11 | Permalink | 7 Comments | By Jonathan

  I have just returned from a belly-busting Mexican food marathon in Acapulco, where our tireless chef prepared dish after delectable dish. We swam in seas of salsa, rode the highs of habanero and conceived countless cheese babies. We snacked on cacahuate japones by the bucket, crunched the chicharrón from a thousand pigs and passed around [...]
