Hello from Lacoste: French food frenzy

By Rachel Chaikof

This is absolutely delicious. The cheese is rich in flavor and the Ham is scrumptious. The crust is crispy and crunchy as it can be. I just had a taste of Quiche Lorraine, one of France’s well-known dishes, and it was wonderful. There’s no question that France is proud of its cuisine. France boasts all different kinds of cheeses, mouthwatering pastries, tasty pork, and sweet fruits. Read more

Find great BBQ, small-town feel at Fat Matt’s Rib Shack
By Gray Chapman

Have you ever been driving down the road with your windows down, when all of a sudden the smoky scent of barbeque fills your car? Being from a small southern town, I’m quite familiar with this experience—it was not unusual to be driving home from school and stumbling upon a few men and their tank-sized grill setting up shop in a gas station parking lot, selling ribs for $10 a slab.

Apples won’t keep this doctor away

‘House’ season premiere shows weakness, but promise
