Merlot Cola? For Real?

Yes, it’s for real (brand name is MerloCola) and it’s one of the many exhibitors at this year’s Gourmet Food and Wine Expo.  I tried it and have to admit that it was quite…interesting.  While the small sample was good, I’m not really sure if I’ll ever have a full serving.  I think I’m a […]

Sharing the Psychedelic Menu at Fat Pasha

It’s definitely the latest “it” cuisine here in the city, and like most ethnic cuisines, it isn’t likely a passing fad.  I feel that it’s definitely here to stay (because it’s just so good).  In my opinion, once a culture’s food rises out of the mom-and-pop, “hole-in-the-wall” restaurants, you’re […]
