I personally think we could use a moratorium on any book about an American in Provence...or Tuscany. But it's just a reflection of the milquetoast traveler.

I'm a waiter and a jew. So many food and wine blogs seem to have no interest in anything other than straight european cuisine. Some of my friends won't try Halva because it loooks weird.

At this certain upper Eastside restaurant, we all read you and we'd all marry you. Keep being you, Brandi Thank you, thank you for talking about ethnic foods! I’m a waiter and a jew.
