Margeaux is located in the Porter Square Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I had the opportunity to dine there recently, and it was a really enjoyable experience.
Where most restaurants don’t want to bother with varying portion sizes, Margeaux excels. You can order just about every as a small plate or main course. You can combine random plates or go with 3 that follow a particular theme. And sharing plates is encouraged.
With the many meats we chose to share, a glass from a flight of wine was always the perfect match!
Had a blast hanging out with my buddy, John, in Cambridge, MA, yesterday, at the ultimate tiki bar: Wusong Road!
The entryway was decorated for Halloween, but this massive place is all tiki! So much fun!
We were just there for cocktails, but next time I will return for the food.
Two zombies was the limit!
Berkshire pork is very special. Humanely raised, it’s got a lot of fat, and it’s “good fat.” So when I trim a piece of it, like the pork chop I had last night, I take that fat and render it in a pan, then save it in my little pork fat piggy! Ready to use another time!
The end is near for the vodka that I literally grew up with.
I remember my dad having a bottle of Stoli in the freezer, and when Mom’s cooking was a bit too greasy, he would pour himself a shot of vodka instead of reaching for the Pepto! And he started pouring me a little bit somewhere around my 12th birthday!
Stoli filed for bankruptcy in 2024 and are now selling off all of their USA inventory. What that means is, if you like Stoli, especially what I consider to be the best vodka out there, Stoli elit, get to your liquor store now. Many have already sold out of the product.
And my version of the Stoli Doli, made famous at the Capital Grille, is called the Velvet Elvis. I use Stoli Vanilla with pineapple and it’s fantastic! So grab yourself a 1.75 ml bottle, and I will repost the recipe.
Getting back on my diet required some changes. Here a few things that I’ve tried that have pleasantly surprise me.
Looks like the Halloween vibe is in full swing at the food store!
