• Three Little Pigs Charcuterie: build the house with the best apéro hour…

  

  Your home is lovely. It’s filled with your stuff–and more importantly than that–it’s filled with your memories. You have a sofa. You have a few books. Maybe a painting or a fruit basket. You have meals eaten with people you cherish. The spot on the carpet from where your best friend spilled Merlot; perhaps you…

• The Pea Tasting Dinner at Junk Ditch: peas got the princess treatment…

  

  There’s a fairytale about a princess and a pea. You’ve probably heard it before. If you haven’t, the gist is essentially that a princess is faced with a test: to sleep on a thousand towering mattresses underneath which has been placed one, tiny pea. If she’s a real princess, her disposition will be so delicate…

• Dana’s: French inspired, Fort Wayne accessible…

  

  It was a Friday afternoon in Fort Wayne and I knew exactly what to order. Volchy scooped me up at my doorstep and ushered me downtown. We found parking faster than usual: because sometimes things just work out. With no reservation, we showed up at Dana’s mere minutes after opening. Still–it was far from a…

• Junk Ditch Mardi Gras Pairing Dinner: pass a good time…

  

  Monday nights used to be for starting the work week, steeling yourself for the slog ahead, and mentally preparing to not punch that one really tedious coworker in the face–no matter how much they maybe might have deserved it. Mondays aren’t like that anymore since Junk Ditch started hosting hella hype-worthy monthly Monday night dinners.…

• Rocksteady Pizza Parlour: there is passion in these pies…

  

  I’d like to believe that those who faithfully read my writing can tell the difference between when I write with passion and when I’m just phoning it in.
