In celebration of all things gustatory.
Russian Vodka
It is hard to imagine any traditional Russian feast without vodka. It is customary to celebrate with it more significant life events (birthday, anniversary, or wedding) and less remarkable ones (a new pair of shoes, beginning of holidays, or just a weekend). Happy? Upset? Angry? Sorry? Here it is…

Simple Two Ingredient Summer Cocktails
Most people adore drinking cocktails at bars and restaurants, and who can blame them? Cocktails taste great, are festive in nature, and always seem to be artfully presented to those who get to drink them. That's also the main reason why people love to drink cocktails at parties.

Restaurant Chains That No Longer Exist
McDonald's. Taco Bell. Applebee's. Chipotle. Everyone knows these names as famous restaurant chains that can be found across the nation. To a point, restaurant chains almost seem like an institution as steady as banks, major clothing brands, and credit card issuers.

2008: Vintage of Angels
While I have to admit that I have never been a hardcore fan of the Chilean wine in general, I have always had a healthy respect for the premium range of produce from the non-industrial, premium line of wines the country has to offer. One particular producer, Montes S.A., grants us something akin to the Super Tuscans, a Super Carménère: Purple Angel, 2008 vintage.

5 Amazing Places to Eat in Worcester (UK)
Worcester is an amazing city, it is by far my favourite of all the UK cities. I came here for University and loved it so much, I decided to stay. There are so many different places to eat and drink in Worcester that after living here for 4 years, I still haven't managed to try them all. Add to that the fact new places are always being built, old ones change hands and you have a never-ending source of foodie adventure. The following are a few of my all time favourites, but to be honest the list doesn't end here. Eat and enjoy!

For the Night and the House: How To Meet the Parents. Top Story - July 2017.
I remember the first time I met a girl I was seeing's parents, and it wasn't good (in hindsight). I believe I must've been 16 at the time, and I didn't quite have a grip on how to keep my identity while still portraying myself as someone that wasn't nearly as hormone/heartbreak-driven as I was (am).

Drinking Like a Champion
For those of us who drink, we usually either tend to go to a full extreme or not partake at all. There are a small number of people who actually use that weird little word some of us know as "moderation", and it's those people who tend to do hold themselves better. But in the end, we should just face the cold hard truth. If you are going to drink, then you should drink like a champion and be smart at the same time. And most people think "Oh! I get hangovers and whatnot when I drink" but trust me about this one, there is a way around most of this but we will get to that later. (It's most certainly worth the wait.)

A Corn Lover's Guide to Getting the Most Out of Early Season Corn. Top Story - July 2017.
I have a friend who will not eat corn. She will eat foie gras and grilled sardines and truffles of course. But she will not eat corn. Don’t ask me why. Whenever she starts to tell me, I immediately stop listening. It just isn’t something I can pretend to comprehend.
