A Review of Noodles & Co’s Mac n Cheese
By Greg B. Though it had been open for a few years now, I had never had the occasion to eat at the Noodles & Company, down in the Baltimore Inner Harbor. A few friends of mine and I had considered it on some occasions (recently in December, when my sister was in town), but [...]

Rye Laugenbrotchen and Venison Chili recipe, with Vermont Mustard!
By Greg B. I’m writing this after the fact, and we all know the Ravens blew it (though I personally suspect the Ravens had a legit touchdown with 16 seconds to go, but the Refs disagreed). In preparation for this game, I decided to try to my hand at baking some German bread, perhaps, the [...]

The Capital Grille shakes up their lunch menu
By Greg B. There are some restaurants around town that make me wish I had more time and more capitol, just to enjoy them. The Capital Grille is one of those places. Now I’ve eaten here a few times over the years, and have greatly enjoyed my dinners and my one lunch experience (the truffle [...]

F&WB TV – Episode 46: Vincent Van Gogh Cool Peach Vodka Review
Join Greg B as he reviews a tasty flavored vodka, Holland’s very own Vincent Van Gogh Vodka, now in Cool Peach! Essentially it’s the same quality vodka you know and love, that Van Gogh distillery always produces, but with strong aromas and flavors of ripe, warm peaches. Serve it slightly chilled, as a mixer or [...]
BEER
The Bruery’s 4 Calling Birds Beer Review
By Greg B. It’s that time of year again. Actually, it’s a bit past that time of year… I’ve been lazy as a writer recently. But regardless, I got my hands on a nice 750mL bottle from The Bruery’s Christmas beer line, 4 Calling Birds. It’s the 4th installment of their ’12 Beers of Christmas’ [...]
WINE
Wine from a Paper Bottle?
By Greg B. I know this title seems a bit bizarre, but that’s the scoop I’m getting when I read the article here. We’ve seen wine in bags, wine in boxes (which, really, are generally wine in bags though some are legitimate large juice boxes), wine in a can and, of course, wine in glass [...]
TRAVEL
Two Days in Antwerp
By Greg B. I spent the next day traveling, and was just plain exhausted. I managed to travel from my hostel to Antwerp, and within Antwerp to find my hostel and check in. By this point, there were several things that were interesting. First, I knew I needed to do laundry, but second, I realized [...]

A Van Gogh Vodka Valentine’s Day
By Greg B. A few months ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing a vodka from Van Gogh distillers, their Cool Peach Vodka. It was a very fresh and tasty flavored vodka, and seasonally it fit well. But the winter has set in, the cold is here, and Valentine’s day is around the corner. Usually [...]
Homemade Teddy Grahams
By Jess A & Greg B. Often times when I enter the kitchen, I’m surprised and impressed by the baked goods I find being produced by Jessica. One recent saturday, I had slept in (till 8:30, I’m kind of ashamed to admit, but getting up at 5:30 weekdays will do that to you) and I [...]
Interview with Marc de Kuyper
By Greg B. This past week, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Marc de Kuyper, 11th generation rep of De Kuyper Royal Distillers to discuss their new upcoming release of Mandarine Napoleon XO. Unfortunately, due to some technical difficulties, I was unable to make the conversation. But a very quick witted [...]
Snow in Baltimore? Time for some Hot Chocolate!
By Greg B. It’s cold outside, and despite it being 60F yesterday, today the temperatures are in the mid 30′s, the wind is blowing and snow is falling. If this were a weekend day, I might have made some delicious and hearty braised dish, but seeing as how it’s a weeknight, and I just finished [...]
Courvoisier VS versus Marett fine VSOP Cognac
By Greg B. Over a year ago, I popped the cork on a bottle of Napoleon’s favorite cognac, Courvoisier V.S. and greatly enjoyed it. But much to my dismay, an entire year passed before I was able to get my act together and sample another cognac, a recommendation and gift from my buddy Kevin. However, [...]
Fischer & Wieser Brings the Holiday Goods!
By Greg B. Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing several tasty products from Fischer & Wieser. From mustard to sauces, I’ve enjoyed them all and found them pretty useful in the kitchen. As the year comes to a close, I’d like to review 3 more products for you that are tasty [...]
Texmati Rice: A tasty American grain for the holidays
By Greg B. Now, many of you know that over the past 2 years, I’ve been quite smitten with the paleo diet. Heavy on the vegetables and fruit, supplemented with nuts and meat, very very very low on the grains (exception for barley based beverages, of course). But of late, I’ve been adding more and [...]
Mac n Cheese with Butternut Squash
By Greg B. So I was sitting at work a few weeks ago, just minding my own business and thinking to myself, when suddenly I got hungry. You know that hunger, it’s the one that strikes suddenly, and has nothing to do with what you’re doing or what you have to eat that day. In [...]
Boordy Vineyard’s Case Club Events: A Great Way to Spend a Saturday
By Greg B. In the past year, I’ve found myself at Boordy vineyards a few times. They are well known not only for their award winning Maryland wines, but also their events. And honestly, they put on some great events. Summer concert series, dinners, music, tours and tastings, they do it all. So what goes [...]
Butternut Squash & Peach Puff Pastry Recipe
By Greg B. I was sitting at work one day, minding my own business when suddenly, I had this epiphany. You know what goes really well together? A bite of very ripe peach, with that sharp flavor of raw red onion. Not too much onion, just enough to really cut into that very sweet peach [...]
