FT33′s Executive Chef Matt McCallister welcomes McCrady’s Chef de Cuisine, Jeremiah Langhorne, for a guest chef dinner & one-of-a-kind dining experience. Chef Langhorne is a foraging chef from Charleston, South Carolina. He is obviously the bomb because Matt McCallister would probably not be caught cheffing with anyone that is opposite of the bomb. Expect lots [...]

Look, no one around here is trying to be a culinary student classmate hater. All I’m saying is a line needs to be drawn— and fast. The good news is this: The only people in my class that know I’m a food writer are the three people that are not lazy. All of the other [...]

We were on our way to Bread Winners for Sunday brunch, but decided to eat at Jake’s after seeing the massive line out front. Little did we know things have gone down— way down— over at Jake’s on McKinney. No, you are not mistaken. Jake’s really has been awarded 2nd place for the saddest piece of [...]

After deciding what to order, we made our way to the counter. This is the first moment things began to feel above average dirty. It was around 7:00pm and the containers on the counter looked like a tornado blew through in a funky kind of way. My husband tipped $11 at the counter. Counter tipping [...]

Today is a very exciting day. My teacher at Le Cordon Bleu has given me permission to take the midterm during her 6 am class tomorrow. This means I get to drive to Austin in time for the 2nd Annual Food Republic Interview Lounge. Food Republic, W Hotel, and the Austin Food & Wine Festival [...]

Pen clickers are kind of like bag lickers because even though these people are violating innocent victims, the innocent victims feel they can’t say anything about it. Pen clicking while someone else is trying to focus is the most annoying act in existence. I would rather a stranger lick their fingers and slap my face [...]

It’s necessary to cut to the chef shoe chase. I’m almost positive chef John Tesar wears Prada chef shoes. This is how I feel after spending three nights staging at Spoon Bar & Kitchen this week. I thought about taking a muscle relaxer the first day, but responsibly realized taking pills on the job might [...]

Serving food and drinks at a movie theater is nothing more than a minimal bonus that should not excite anyone. Do not get your hopes in a tizzy thinking this movie theater’s food will ever exceed a concession stand status. The odds simply do not exist. There’s this red button movie people are supposed to [...]

I enrolled in culinary school to acquire the necessary skills to become a credible food critic. Much more knowledge is obviously necessary to advance from an opinionated true-story-telling food writer to a real deal food critic. While this may be laughable to at least 48 comment trolls in Texas, it’s a goal that will eventually [...]

Raise the roof! Belly & Trumpet will begin serving brunch this Sunday! Some people use exclamation points to pretend they are more excited than just basic excited. To me, this is the only punctuation possible to appropriately express the level of excitement happening at this very moment. I can’t imagine trying to find daytime artistic [...]
