Temperature forecasts be damned, it’s fall. And fall means pumpkins. In fact, at yesterday’s weekly Chow Bella meeting, we couldn’t stop talking about all things pumpkin, so get ready for an onslaught — soon. In honor of fall, this morning we went looking for velvet pumpkins. No, this is not a…

Remember that kid who totally ruled at Guitar Hero and then, one day, when you’re coming closer than you ever have to beating him, he stars screwing around and acting bored and you get super pissed off and throw the plastic Gibson SG on the floor and start screaming, “You’re…

We’ve been known to travel great distances in search of Mexican pastries. Perhaps that’s why we almost drooled right through the Cafe page while reading this week’s New Times. Food Critic Michele Laudig on La Tolteca: The smell alone is enticing, and I get a little giddy about the overwhelming…

“Are you a salesperson?” “No, I’m a writer for the New Times.” “Oh, what do you write?” “I write a column about fast food called ‘Fry Girl'” “I don’t like fast food. It’s not very healthy.” (cue uncomfortable silence and shifting self in chair) This is Wendy’s? It is this…
Chef Erasmus “Razz” Kamnitzer serves up dishes with so much flavor and flair at Razz’s Restaurant & Bar that we’re tempted just to order takeout, plate the dishes at home, and pretend they’re our own. Today Razz shares his recipe for Cashew & Rosemary Encrusted Salmon with Hibiscus-Lime Sauce so that we don’t have to take such drastic (and deceitful) measures to impress our next dinner guests.
It was a Fry Girl first: I felt out of place at a fast-food joint. I felt out of place at Wendy’s. Well, it wasn’t really Wendy’s — not this morning. It was Breakfast Experience Wendy’s, an event for “VIPs” and media only. The redhead was dressed to impress for…
Dig deeper. The wealth of little Mexican restaurants and markets along 16th Street has long been a pet subject of mine, but CenPho has much more to offer than just the options along that main drag. To get to some of the really good stuff, you have to get beyond…

For many of us, nightmares typically involve monsters, forgetting to wear clothes in class, and being forced to watch M. Night Shyamalan flicks. That was me, too, until recently. Now, my nightmares all involve Cantina Tacos from Taco Bell — killer Cantina Tacos, deadly, foul-tasting Cantina Tacos, and worst of…
Forget acai berries and pomegranate. Chocolate is our “superfood” of choice”: decadent, rich and packed with antioxidants and endorphins. Hell, it’s like taking a vitamin and a happy pill all at once! It’s also delicious whether it’s eaten in traditional bar form or used as an ingredient in cakes and cookies. But add in…
Erasmus “Razz” Kamnitzer is self-proclaimed “old school” when it comes to cooking.
“Everything came naturally to me; I grew up in the business,” Razz says of his time in culinary school. “Things that you don’t normally see, they were common things to me. I was fortunate enough to travel a lot, to taste and see everything.”
