• How Killer are 2Tom’s Cereal Killer Beers…?

  

  I have this small obsession that I hide relatively well but it occasionally creeps up in casual conversation and stalks me through the grocery store aisles. If I were to utter the phrase, “I like cereal,” likely nobody would bat an eye. Cereal is a pretty universally tolerated food. There’s nothing particularly unusual or divisive…

• Can a really good sourdough bagel make you a better person…?

  

  Though I’ve been a midwest dweller for about a year now, it still feels like I only just recently got here. I’m east coast born and bred. I blame my upbringing on my previously held opinions on bagels. I used to live my life as if the question of bagels had right and wrong answers.…

• Meet the Meatery

  

  In late summer, I went out to dinner with no intention of writing a review of the restaurant, but the events of the evening have dictated that I share my experience with others. It was never my plan to write a review; all I wanted was to finally try a restaurant that had been on…

• What sort of “age-appropriate beverages” are best drunk while watching Over The Garden Wall? 

  

  If you are someone who is already familiar with the short series Over The Garden Wall; welcome friends. If you are among those unfamiliar with this cult classic cartoon, I consider it the highest privilege to introduce you to this autumnal masterpiece. Not too many years ago, I was unaware of Over The Garden Wall,…

• Are Fall Flavored Sodas the New PSL…?

  

  For many, the onset of autumn means Pumpkin Spice Lattes, warm apple cider, and mulled wines. Many wait eagerly, all year, in anticipation of these fall flavors. But there’s a fall beverage many of us have been sleeping on: soda. Now, truth be told, I’m not much of a soda drinker. I used to be.…

• Good Wines & Bad Times

  

  I am of the mind that my opinion is not more important than another’s opinion. Vibes are contagious, so if I’m going to walk through the vineyard of life and pick vibes from the vine to share with my friends, family, and you, dear reader–you’d better believe they’re going to be good vibes. For this…

• What sauce pairs best with the Sanderson sisters…?

  

  Spooky season is fast approaching and, as uninspired as you may find my deeply held opinion to be, I think Hocus Pocus is the best Halloween movie ever: hands down, period, end of sentence. Though I will date myself with this admission, I still recall seeing it in theaters when I was young and being…

• Peanut Butter Burgers: A Love Story

  

  My hometown has a brew pub called Two Rivers Brewing. They consistently win local competitions for best burgers in the area; and for good reason. Since opening their doors, there’s been a Peanut Butter Bacon Burger on their menu, and it is probably the food I miss most since moving away.  The first time I…
