Thursday, May 8th, 2008

You know how good Bobby Flay is? So good, apparently, he can be in two places at once. He's supposed to be on KTRS speaking to Catherine Neville and McGraw at 11:00AM which you can stream here. But then he's also supposed to be on KWMU's St. Louis on the Air speaking with ...

A Bit on Blais

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Tofu Steak Marinated in Beef Fat with Green Curry I didn't get a chance to comment on last week's episode and I wanted to because I'm sorry but that tofu thing actually sounded really good. Of everything I've ever seen made on Top Chef that was the one dish that for me ...

Top Chef

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Next week it looks like we get some more uptight-bitch vs Filipino smack-downs, and while that should be pretty entertaining, this week we got another relatively stupid episode of Top Chef. Not being an Oprah supporter I didn't know who Art Smith was prior to tonight, but I have to ...

That is so Offal

Monday, April 14th, 2008

In this video Chris Cosentino chats about offal and mentions a cookbook he's been working on for four or five years stating that "nobody has the balls to put it out." (a) funny choice of words considering the topic (b) book publishers are in the business of making money ...

If you've not been paying attention, with three trips in nine days, and probably a dozen so far this year, stlbites has much love for Erato on Main and their entire staff. But as much as we like the staff it's Kevin Wilmann's daily changing menu of whatever looks freshest that ...
