Writing about Ace Biscuit and Barbecue

Posted by slowfoodiebear on November 5, 2013 · 2 Comments 

I’ve posted before about Ace Biscuit and Barbecue and their wonderful food and the funky vibe, but it wasn’t until this morning* that it struck me how special of a restaurant it is, especially in the larger scheme of American restaurants and American food.  We’re so spoiled here in Charlottesville to have small-scale, local restaurants … Continue reading →

Foods from the Past: Updated French Toast

Just this morning I prepared what I must consider one of the most glorious, gorgeous breakfasts of all time.  It was simply a leftover hamburger topped with fried eggs and sauteed swiss chard, but somehow it evolved into something stunning and gormet-looking.  And I managed to this on a school-day morning, no less!

Do you know how sometimes you just get this craving for certain home-y foods?  Well, it had never happened before, but being away at college made me crave pancakes all of a sudden, and with no mom there to whip up a batch for me, I had to learn to make them myself.  I of … Continue reading →

Happy Egg Yolks

Posted by slowfoodiebear on October 23, 2011 · 1 Comment 

I wanted to share a quick breakfast from earlier this week.  It’s a toasted leftover bagel with butter (not particularly interesting, I know) with a fried egg.  This wouldn’t have really been worth sharing if it hadn’t been for the beautiful egg yolk.  I think it might be the brightest egg I’ve ever seen.  It’s … Continue reading →
